Translation of the original operating instructions
4.5 Checking connections
;
Ensure isolation from supply (all phases).
;
Make sure a restart is impossible
;
Check the cables for proper fit.
4.6 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.
;
Start the device by changing the input signal.
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.
4.7 Switching off the device
Switching off the device during operation:
;
Switch off the device via the control input.
;
Do not switch the motor (e.g. in cyclic operation) on and off via power
supply.
Switching off the device for maintenance:
;
Switch off the device via the control input.
;
Do not switch the motor (e.g. in cyclic operation) on and off via power
supply.
;
Disconnect the device from the power supply.
;
When disconnecting, be sure to disconnect the ground connection last.
5. INTEGRATED PROTECTIVE FEATURES
The integrated protective functions cause the motor to switch off
automatically in the event of the faults described in the table.
Fault
Safety feature description/
function
Rotor position detection error
An automatic restart follows.
Blocked rotor
;
After the blockage is
removed, the motor restarts
automatically.
Line undervoltage (line voltage
outside of permitted nominal
voltage range)
;
If the line voltage returns to
permitted values, the motor
restarts automatically.
Phase failure
A phase of the supply voltage
fails for at least 5 s.
;
When all phases are correctly
supplied again, the motor
automatically restarts after 10-40
s.
6. MAINTENANCE, MALFUNCTIONS, POSSIBLE
CAUSES AND REMEDIES
Do not perform any repairs on your device. Send the device to ebm-
papst 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
If control voltage or a stored speed set value is applied,
the motor will restart automatically, 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.
→ After working on the device, remove any tools or other
objects from the device.
NOTE
If the device is not operated for a lengthy period in installed
condition in a dry environment, it is to be started up and
operated at full speed for one hour at least every four months. If
the device is not operated for a lengthy period in installed
condition in a damp environment (e.g. outdoors), it is to be
started up and operated at full speed for at least two hours once
a month to move the bearings and allow any condensate that
may have ingressed to evaporate.
