Information on the explosion-protection devices
Danger Explosion protection!
- This warning marks information which applies if the device is used in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
- Failure to comply with this information will result in loss of explosion protection and may lead to serious injury or death.
Warning
Hazard resulting from improper use of the fans. These operating instructions
and the fan name plate describe how to use the EX fans safely.
- Read the operating instructions completely and carefully.
- If used in potentially explosive atmospheres, examine the name plate. Only use type PRF-EX fans.
Warning
Protective clothing must be worn in potentially explosive atmospheres to
reduce the risks to employee health.
- Wear protective equipment during all work in the vicinity of the fan, details see 3.2 Personal protective equipment, page 3.
- Comply with the information on personal protective equipment displayed in the work area.
Warning
- Regarding the choice of material, the EX fans fulfil the requirements of Standard DIN 14986 (Construction of fans for use in potentially explosive atmospheres) as a result of specific protection measures in areas of potential contact between rotating and stationary components (rotor/intake nozzle).
- A safety clearance to the intake nozzle is guaranteed for the rotating part.
- The plant builder is responsible for selecting the materials for the fixed peripheral parts for fan designs without protective grids. Only pairs of materials according to Standard DIN EN 14986 are to be used.
Warning
- The temperature class stated on the EX name plate (motor) must match the temperature class of the combustible gas which may occur, or the motor must have a higher temperature class.
Danger Explosion protection
- Transport damage or failure to comply with this information can lead to loss of explosion protection.
- In the event of recognisable transport damage, contact the manufacturer and do not put the device into operation.
Warning
The effects of lightning strikes must be limited so that hazards are
prevented. In addition to protection against the effects of “direct” lightning
strikes, this also includes protection against lightning strikes at a distance
from the building. The latter can lead to hazards resulting from excess
voltage.
- Carry out a risk analysis according to DIN VDE 0100, part 443, with a balance between protection and consequences, taking the probability of the occurrence of excess voltage into account.
- Protect all devices, protective systems and components by using suitable lightning and excess voltage protection measures.
Warning

Installation
Safety information
Warning: Danger from falling fan or fan parts.
- Check the surface before installation for load bearing capacity.
- Consider all static and dynamic loads when selecting hoisting equipment and fastening components.
General safety information
- Fans installed in areas where personnel access regularly must be equipped with a splinter guard, please contact Systemair.
- Observe 3 Important safety information, page 2
- Use installation material with fire resistance classes that meet temperature requirements.
- Provide contact and intake protection and ensure safety distances according to DIN EN ISO 13857 and DIN 24167-1.
- To reduce transmission of vibration to the duct system, we recommend flexible connections from our accessory range, see chapter Accessories.
- The materials the fan is made of have to be compatible to the transported media.
- Pay attention to the safety data sheet of the chemical substances transported with the fan.
Preconditions
- Ensure that the fan and all its components are undamaged.
- Fit the fans in such a way that there is sufficient access for installation, troubleshooting, maintenance and repair.
- Protect against dust and moisture when installing.
- Ensure that the information on the name plates (fan and motor) matches up with the operating conditions.
Danger
Risk of ignition of a potentially explosive atmosphere!
- Seal the system carefully.
- Install accessory parts correctly.
- The housing must be protected from shock impacts, using splinter protection if necessary (accessory)!
Aluminothermic Reaction
At high air speeds, in combination with aluminium, rust particles may lead to
an aluminothermic reaction which, in the worst case, can trigger the ignition
of an explosive atmosphere. Upstream or downstream components, or those which
lie directly in the air flow, must not have any unprotected aluminium or steel
surfaces. To prevent an aluminothermic reaction, surface protection is
required which at least fulfils the cross-cut test classification 2 / DIN EN
ISO 2409. Steel with an electro-galvanised or hot-dip galvanised surface is
not critical. However, care must be taken that appropriate protection is also
applied to the cut edges.
Important
Damage to the bearings or other parts of the fan can occur.
- Do not place a duct bend directly before or after the fan!
- Ensure a smooth and constant air flow to the device.
- Rectangular duct system: D = Hydraulic diameter
- Round duct system: D = Nominal diameter
Installation positions
- The installation is possible in any mounting position.
- We recommend mounting on a horizontal surface to ensure the function of vibration dampers and condensate drainage.
Lightning protection device
- If the risk assessment shows that there is the risk of an atmospheric discharge, lightning protection measures must be taken. For reasons of operational safety, provide for a suitable lightning protection system according to country specific directives (e.g. DIN VDE 0185).
Electrical connection
Safety information
Danger: Risk of ignition of a potentially explosive gas/air atmosphere!
If the wire ends which have not been connected are fitted to the external
current circuits within an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
- a connection box (with its own certification and explosion-protection identification) which has been selected as suitable for this area must be used.
- the electrical data, information on temperature monitoring and on admissible operation with part voltage, if applicable, can be found on the relevant data sheet.
- Electronic accessories without explosion-protection (e.g. RTRD control device and UEK motor protection) must be installed outside the explosion capable area.
- Speed control by frequency converter is only admissible for devices with the „Pressure-proof encapsulation Ex d“ ignition protection class.
- The types #33985 PRF-EX 180D4 and #34532 PRF-EX 125D2 are not speed controllable by frequency converter.
Protection against explosions in general:

that of the phase conductor.
Residual current circuit breaker
All-current-sensitive residual current circuit breakers are required for use
in alternating-current systems with 50/60 Hz, in combination with electronic
devices such as EC motors, frequency converters or uninterruptible power
supplies (UPS).
Protecting the motor
Important: Damage to motor due to overcurrent, overload or short circiut.
- Lead-out temperature monitors must be integrated in the control circuit in such a way that, if a fault occurs, the motor cannot switch on again automatically after it has cooled down.
- Motor lines and temperature monitor lines should be laid separately on principle.
- Without thermal protection: Use a motor protection switch!
Variable-speed fans
Warning
- Resonant frequencies may result in increased vibration in certain speed ranges. These vibrations may destroy components.
- Only operate the fan outside these speed ranges.
- Pass through these speed ranges so quickly that any vibration cannot exceed the admissible resonant frequency values.
