Safety precautions

This product can be used by children at least 8 years old, by people with impaired physical and/or mental abilities, and by people without any experience in or understanding of the operation of the product, if supervised or instructed by a competent adult in the safe use of the product so that they understand the relevant operating risks. This product is not a toy and children should not play with it. Children should not be allowed to clean or maintain the product without supervision of an adult.
The fan is intended for permanent installation and connection with the building electrical system. The building electrical system connected to the fan must be capable of breaking live voltage contact on all switching poles to fully isolate the fan from power during Category III overvoltage conditions, in accordance to applicable electrical engineering regulations.
The ventilator is designed for installation at a substantial height, i.e. 2.3 m above the floor. The fan shall only be installed in a position and an orientation specified in the Operating Manual, given the necessary entry of the power cable into the fan housing.
Before servicing the fan, isolate it from the mains voltage with the circuit breaker. Secure the circuit breaker against inadvertent operation.
The fan installation design must prevent reverse flow of flue gas into the room from open flue gas exhaust ducts and appliances operated with open flames.
Never attempt to modify or alter the fan without authorization.
Before installing the fan, verify the load bearing capacity of the installation substructure. Improper installation fastening may result in damage or failure of the fan and hazards to the people nearby.

The axial fan can be hazardous when operated against its intended use or installed by unqualified personnel.

Application and operating conditions

The WK fan is intended for handling indoor air of normal quality or with a low dust content (with a particle size < 10 μm) and without aggressive chemicals or high humidity. The fan is intended for operation in temperate climate conditions and within the performance limits specified in the product catalogue.
The fan may be operated only in a permanent indoor installation and with its power supply line concealed.
Duct fans can be installed horizontally and vertically in ventilation ducts.
The maximum temperature of the medium handled by the fan and the maximum ambient temperature are + 40°C.
The fan is an IPX4 and protection class I device. The fan can be installed in indoor moisture Zone II, ref. IEC 60364-7-701, provided that the following requirements from the fan manufacturer are complied with
1 – correct mounting with maintaining proper tightness of a power supply cord in a grommet (see Section “Installation”).
2 – the air exhaust duct secures the fan from direct exposure to water per IPX4 and direct access to live and/or rotating parts, including the fan rotor in motion; or the air exhaust duct is at least 1,5 m long upstream of the fan and installed with special tools which will be required to access the fan for servicing.
The fan must be operated according to its intended use and within the performance limits specified on the nameplate.
Connect the fan to the building mains (electrical system) with the following power cable: NYM-O 5×1,5 mm² (H07V-K 5×1,5mm²) .
Do not use the fan to handle the air with the following content:
- viscous contaminants prone to deposition in the fan,
- corrosive contaminants which may degrade the fan,
- flammable contaminants, including gas, vapours, mists or particulates which may form explosive mixtures with air.
The control system must prevent extremely frequent power cycling.

Transport and storage

Keep the fans in their original packaging in a dry, sheltered room.
The transport and storage ambient temperature limits are -20 °C to +40 °C.
Protect against impact and shocks. Transport the fan in its original packaging
If the storage time exceeds 1 year, the motor bearings of the fan must be tested by turning the fan rotor by hand before installation. The fan rotor must run smoothly.
Dispose of the fan at the end of its operating life strictly in accordance with environmental protection and waste management laws.
Should it occur, damage caused by improper transport, handling, storage or commissioning will be demonstrated and is not on warranty.

INSTALLATION

The fan shall only be installed, connected to electrical mains and commissioned for use by qualified personnel in accordance with applicable laws !

Preparation for installation

Precise where the fan will be installed.
Prepare the power cord. Use NYM-O 5×1.5 mm² (H07V-K 5×1.5 mm²).
NOTE: Make sure that the power cord is not live before starting work.
Route the power cord and connect according to the wiring diagram in Figure 3.
- The connection cable must be protected in such a way that water cannot penetrate live parts along the cable in case of flooding.
  Before attaching the fan, it is necessary to: remove foreign objects from inside the fan; check if the rotor rotates freely by putting it into motion by hand.
  It is recommended to connect the fan to the duct system using a flexible pipe connection!
Slide the ventilation ducts into the inlet (1) and outlet (2) ports of the fan.

NOTE! Attach the fan so that the motor cable gland is at the bottom!

Protect the ventilation ducts from slipping, using clamps.

ATTENTION! A rotating impeller can crush your fingers! It is forbidden to start the fan without a protective mesh against touching the moving parts!

First start
Start the fan only with all safety precautions in place and all hazards eliminated. Start the fan. Check that it runs steadily and the air is handled efficiently (out of the room and through the air exhaust ductwork to the outside). Check the operation of the fan (noise, vibration, the possibility to control the rotation speed).
The fan may be used only with ventilation ducts that protect against contact with moving parts. If the fan is installed with ducts shorter than 1.5 m, an additional protective grid is required.
Note that the fan user is liable for compliance with current safety standards and may be held liable for accidental injury or death caused by failure to provide the required safety equipment.

Electrical connections

Electrical connections and commissioning of the fan shall only be completed by qualified professional electricians.
Always follow the applicable standards, safety regulations and technical requirements specified by the power company!
The power supply line for the fan requires a multi-pole circuit breaker / isolation switch with a minimum contact break gap of 3 mm (ref. PN-EN 60335-1)!
The mains system, voltage and frequency must match the nameplate ratings of the fan.

Dimensions
The dimensions of specific axial fan models are shown in Fig. 4.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Servicing and maintenance

Use protective footwear and gloves during maintenance!
During all maintenance and servicing works the electrical and OHS regulations (PN-IEC 60364-3) must be observed.
Before servicing the fan, isolate it from the mains voltage with the circuit breaker. Secure the circuit breaker against inadvertent operation!
The fan ductwork must be clear of foreign bodies: hazard of injury by objects blown out at a high speed!
Do not attempt any maintenance when the fan is running or at live voltage!
If excessive vibrations are felt or heard, have the technical inspection carried out by a qualified electrician.
The maintenance intervals depend on the actual contamination of the fan rotor and must not be longer than 6 months!
Check the fan rotor for cracks.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage resulting from unprofessional repairs.

Cleaning
Electrocution hazard by damaged wiring insulation!
Before attempting to clean the vfan, isolate it from the mains voltage with the circuit breaker. Secure the circuit breaker against inadvertent operation!
