4. CONNECTION AND STARTUP
4.1 Mechanical connection
CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing blower
from packaging
→ Carefully remove the blower from its packaging, touching
only the housing. Strictly avoid shocks.
→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
NOTE
Damage to the device from vibration
Bearing damage, shorter service life
→ The fan must not be subjected to force or excessive vibration
from sections of the installation.
→ If the fan is connected to air ducts, the connection should
be isolated from vibration, e.g. using compensators or similar
elements.
→ Ensure stress-free attachment of the fan to the
substructure.
;
Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices are not to
be installed.
;
Install the undamaged device in accordance with your application.
4.1.1 Installing the fan
Attach the fan to the contact surfaces intended for this purpose. The air
must be able to circulate freely in the area of the electronics (1), adequate
ventilation must be ensured. The electronics (1) must not be covered up.

DANGER
Voltage!
Risk of electric shock
→ The electronics cover and, if available, the motor and
connection-side connectors and cables in the connector area
may be live in the event of a fault. They must not be able to
be touched after they have been installed for their intended
purpose.
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.
4.2 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.
DANGER
Electrical charge (>50 µC) between phase conductor and
protective earth connection after switching off supply
with multiple devices connected in parallel.
Electric shock, risk of injury
→ Ensure sufficient protection against accidental contact.
Before working on the electrical hookup, short the supply
and PE connections.
CAUTION
Voltage
The device is a built-in component and has no disconnecting
switch.
→ Only connect the device to circuits that can be switched off
with an all-pole disconnection switch.
→ When working on the device, secure the system/
machine in which the device is installed so as to prevent it
from being switched back on.
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.
