Transport and storage conditions

CONNECTION AND STARTUP

Mechanical connection

CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing device from packaging

Blades can bend

• Carefully remove the device from its packaging, by the fan housing. Strictly avoid shocks.
• Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
  • Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices are not to be installed.
  • Install the undamaged device in accordance with your application.

CAUTION
Possible damage to the device
If the device slips during installation, serious damage can result.

• Ensure that the device is securely positioned at its place of installation until all fastening screws have been tightened.
  • The fan must not be strained on fastening.

Electrical connection

DANGER
Voltage on the device
Electric shock

• Always connect a protective earth first.
• Check the protective earth.

DANGER
Faulty insulation
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock

• Use only cables that meet the specified installation regulations for voltage, current, insulation material, capacity, etc.
• Route cables so that they cannot be touched by any rotating parts.

NOTE
Water ingress into wires or cables
Water ingress at the customer end of the cable can damage the device.

• Make sure the end of the cable is connected in a dry environment.

Only connect the device to circuits that can be switched off with an all-pole disconnection switch.

Requirements

• Check whether the information on the nameplate matches the connection data.
• Before connecting the device, make sure the power supply matches the device voltage.
• Only use cables designed for the current level indicated on the nameplate.

For determining the cross-section, note the sizing criteria according to EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a cross-section equal to or greater than that of the phase conductor.
We recommend the use of 105 °C cables. Ensure that the minimum cable cross- section is at least AWG 26 / 0.13 mm².

Protective earth contact resistance according to EN 60335
Compliance with the resistance specifications according to EN 60335 for the protective earth connection circuit must be verified in the end application. Depending on the installation situation, it may be necessary to connect an additional protective earth conductor by way of the extra protective earth terminal provided on the device.

Voltage control

NOTE
Current overshoots may occur if speed control is implemented by transformers or electronic voltage regulators (e.g. phase control). Depending on the type of installation of the device, noise and vibration may also occur in the case of phase control. Vibration can lead to bearing damage and thus premature failure.

Heating-up of the motor when using voltage control must be checked by the customer following installation in the end device.

Variable frequency drive

Please use a variable frequency drive only after consultation with ebmpapst.

For operation with variable frequency drives, install sinusoidal filters that work on all poles (phase-phase and phase-ground) between the drive and the motor.
During operation with variable frequency drives, an all-pole sine filter protects the motor against high-voltage transients that can destroy the coil insulation system, and against harmful bearing currents.

Heating-up of the motor when using a variable frequency drive must be checked by the customer following installation in the end device.

Connecting the cables
The device has external leads.

• First connect the “PE” (protective earth).
  • Connect the cables according to your application. When doing so, observe Chapter 4.4 Connection diagram.

Connection diagram

Checking connections

• Ensure isolation from supply (all phases).
• Make sure a restart is impossible
• Check the cables for proper fit.

Switching on the device

The device may only be switched on if it has been installed properly and in accordance with its intended use, including the required safety mechanisms and professional electrical hookup. This also applies for devices which have already been equipped with plugs and terminals or similar connectors by the customer.

WARNING
Hot motor housing
Risk of fire

• Ensure that no combustible or flammable materials are located close to the fan.
  • Before switching on, check the device for visible external damage and make sure the protective devices are functional.
  • Check the fan’s air flow paths for foreign matter and remove any foreign matter found.
  • Apply the nominal supply voltage.

NOTE
Damage to the device from vibration
Bearing damage, shorter service life

• Low-vibration operation of the fan must be ensured over the entire speed control range.
• Severe vibration can arise for instance from inexpert handling, transportation damage and resultant imbalance or be caused by component or structural resonance.
• Speed ranges with excessively high vibration levels and possibly resonant frequencies must be determined in the course of fan commissioning.
• Either run through the resonant range as quickly as possible with speed control or find another remedy.
• Operation with excessively high vibration levels can lead to premature failure.

Switching off the device

• Disconnect the device from the power supply at the supply line’s main switch.
• When disconnecting, be sure to disconnect the ground connection last.

MAINTENANCE, MALFUNCTIONS, POSSIBLE CAUSES AND REMEDIES

Do not perform any repairs on your device. Send the device to ebmpapst for repair or replacement.

WARNING
Live terminals and connections even with device switched off
Electric shock

• Wait five minutes after disconnecting the voltage at all poles before opening the device.

CAUTION
The motor restarts automatically when operating voltage is applied, e.g. after a power failure.
Risk of injury

• Keep out of the device’s danger zone.
• When working on the device, switch off the line voltage and ensure that it cannot be switched back on.
• Wait until the device comes to a stop.

If the device is out of use for some time, e.g. when in storage, we recommend switching it on for at least two hours to allow any condensation to evaporate and to move the bearings.

In the event of further malfunctions, contact ebm-papst.

Cleaning

To ensure a long service life, check the fans regularly for proper operation and soiling. The frequency of checking is to be adapted accordingly depending on the degree of soiling.

DANGER
Risk of injury from rotating fan.

• Only clean when not in motion. Interrupt the power supply, secure against renewed switch-on. Secure against start-up, prevent air flow.
  • Dirt deposits on the motor housing can cause overheating of the motor.
  • Soiling of the impeller can cause vibration that will shorten the service life of the fan.
  • Severe vibration can destroy the fan.
  • In such cases, switch off the fan immediately and clean it.
  • The preferred method of cleaning is dry cleaning, e.g. using compressed air.
  • Do not use aggressive cleaning agents!

NOTE
Damage to the device during cleaning
Malfunction possible

• Do not clean the device using a water jet or high-pressure cleaner.
• Do not use any acid, alkali or solvent-basedcleaning agents.
• Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects for cleaning
  • Completely remove any cleaning agents used.
  • If severe corrosion is visible on load-bearing or rotating parts, switch off the device immediately and replace it.
  • Repair of load-bearing or rotating parts is not permitted!
  • Operate the fan for 2 hours at maximum speed so that any water that has ingressed can evaporate.
  • If cleaning does not eliminate vibrations, the fan may need to be rebalanced. To have it rebalanced, contact ebm-papst.
  • The fan is equipped with maintenance-free ball bearings. The lifetime lubrication of the ball bearings is designed for a service life of 40,000 hours.
  • If bearing replacement is necessary after that period, contact ebmpapst.
  • Adapt the maintenance intervals to the actual level of dust exposure.
