UNIT DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The Axis-Q and Axis-QR fans consist of a casing 1 with a square or a round flange with a grille fixed with bolts 4 and complete with an electric motor and impeller 5. The impeller rotation direction depends on the type of electric motor and external rotor used. The bolts attaching the impeller to the grille also serve as attachment bolts for the terminal box 3. Some models may be equipped with a cable with a terminal box for remote connection. The casing has an M4 threaded hole and yellow-green cables for connection to the protective ground circuit.

The Axis-QA and Axis-QRA fans consist of a casing 1 made of polymer-coated stainless steel with a square (Axis-QA) or round (Axis-QRA) flange, to which the grille 2 is fastened with bolts 4. The motor and impeller 5 are mounted on a bracket inside the casing. The fans are equipped with a terminal box with a cable for remote connection.

The Axis-F fan consists of a casing 1 with round flanges on both sides providing connection for a cross piece complete with an electric motor and impeller 4 fixed with bolts 3. The impeller rotation direction depends on the type of electric motor used. The electric motor casing has an M4 threaded hole and yellow-green cables for connection to the protective ground circuit.

Tubo-F, Tubo-M(Z), Tubo-MA(Z) fans

• The brackets 2 are attached to the casing with bolts 1. The electric motor with the impeller 4 is mounted on the bracket 3 inside the casing.
• The terminal box 5 mounted onto the Tubo-F fan casing provides connection to power mains.

MOUNTING AND SET-UP

Warning

BEFORE MOUNTING MAKE SURE THE CASING DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS (E.G. FOIL, PAPER).
WHILE INSTALLING THE UNIT ENSURE CONVENIENT ACCESS FOR SUBSEQUENT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.

• Unpack the fan and check for any cuts in the electric wires and cracks in the insulation. Inspect the fan casing to make sure it is free from any cracks and deformations. Set the impeller in motion and check that it rotates freely without catching against the inlet flange and the casing.
• Prior to powering up the fan make sure that the mains parameters comply with the technical specifications on the fan label attached to the protective casing.
• The fan mounting locations must enable adequate access for maintenance, technical service and replacement operations.
• When the service conditions may lead to water ingress, the fans must be equipped with adequate protection. For example, the fans may be installed under a canopy or a roof.
• Since the fan belongs to Class 1 in terms of electrical hazard protection proper grounding is a must: to ground the equipment, connect the terminal to the protective ground circuit.

The fans are installed on wall surfaces by means of a mounting casing with attachment holes:

• Axis-Q, Axis-QA, series with a square casing — 4 holes.
• Axis-QR, Axis-QRA series with a round casing — 6 holes.

Axis-F fan installation

• The fans are installed into air ducts by means of connection flanges. The fan must be installed in such a way so that the direction of the arrow shown on the casing matches the direction of air flow in the system. The power is supplied via the remote-position terminal box.

Tubo-F and Tubo-MA(Z) fan installation

• The fans are installed into air ducts by means of clamps. The delivery set includes mounting brackets for attaching the units to the ceiling or a wall. The power is supplied via an external terminal box mounted to the fan casing.

Tubo-M(Z) fan installation

The fans are installed into air duct by means of an RSM(Z) reducer which enables joining different diameter ducts. Once done, the assembly is secured with clamps. The power is supplied via terminal box on the fan casing. The Tubo-M(Z) delivery set includes mounting brackets for attaching the unit to the mounting surface. Depending on a delivery set, two mounting options are possible:

Note: the mounting bracket fixing point on the fan casing must be selected so that the screws do not interfere with the free rotation of the impeller.

CONNECTION TO POWER MAINS

Warning

1. DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY PRIOR TO ANY OPERATIONS WITH THE UNIT.
2. CONNECTION OF THE UNIT TO POWER MAINS IS ALLOWED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN WITH A WORK PERMIT FOR THE ELECTRIC UNITS UP TO 1000 V AFTER CAREFUL READING OF THE PRESENT USER’S MANUAL.
3. THE RATED ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS OF THE UNIT ARE GIVEN ON THE MANUFACTURER’S LABEL.

• The unit is rated for connection to power mains with the parameters specified in the «Technical data» section, according to the wiring diagram.
• The connection must be made using durable, insulated and heat-resistant conductors (cables, wires). The actual wire cross section selection must be based on the maximum load current, maximum conductor temperature depending on the wire type, insulation, length and installation method.
• Connect the unit to power mains in accordance with the wiring diagram and terminal designations.
• The external power input must be equipped with an automatic circuit breaker (QF) built into the stationary wiring to open the circuit in the event of overload or short-circuit. The position of the external automatic circuit breaker must ensure free access for quick power-off of the unit. The trip current of the automatic circuit breaker must exceed the maximum current consumption of the unit (refer to the «Technical data» section or to the unit label). The recommended trip current of the circuit breaker is the next current in the standard trip current row following the maximum current of the connected unit. The circuit breaker is not included in the delivery set and can be ordered separately.

Warning

DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS!
MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER MAINS BEFORE REMOVING THE PROTECTION

All the operations specific to the technical maintenance must be performed upon disconnecting the fan from power mains. The technical maintenance includes periodic cleaning of the fan surfaces from dust and dirt. To dust off the metal parts of the fan, use a dry soft brush or a stream of compressed air. Every 6 months clean the impeller with a warm detergent solution while avoiding water penetration onto the electric motor. Wipe the cleaned surfaces dry.

To carry out technical maintenance of the Axis-F, Tubo-M(Z), Tubo-MA(Z), Tubo-F fans, remove the fans from the duct by undoing the retaining bolts on the Axis-F units or disconnecting the mounting clamps on the Tubo-M(Z), Tubo- MA(Z) and Tubo-F units. To carry out work on the Axis-Q, Axis-QR, Axis-QA, Axis-QRA units, undo the bolt 4 and disconnect the grille and electric motor assembly from the casing.
