DANGER
Electrically charged device
Risk of electric shock
Stand on a rubber mat if you are working on an
electrically charged device.
WARNING
Terminals and connections have voltage even
with a unit that is shut off
Electric shock
Wait five minutes after disconnecting the voltage
at all poles before opening the device.
CAUTION
In the event of failure, the rotor and impeller will
be energised
The rotor and impeller have basic insulation.
Do not touch the rotor and impeller once
installed.
CAUTION
If control voltage or a stored speed set value is
applied, the motor restarts automatically, e.g.
after a power failure.
Risk of injury
Keep out of the device danger zone.
When working on the device, switch off the
voltage and ensure it cannot be switched back
on.
Wait until the device stops.
After working on the device, remove any used
tool or other objects from the device.
1.5
Safety and protective features
DANGER
Missing safety device and non-functioning safety
device
If there is no safety device, you could be seriously
injured, for example if you reach into the running
device or your hands are sucked into it.
Operate the device only with a fixed and isolating
safety protection and a fixed guard grille. The
guard must withstand the kinetic energy of a fan
blade detaching at maximum speed.
The device is a built-in component. You, the
owner/operator, are responsible for providing
adequate protection for the device.
Stop the device immediately if you notice a
missing or ineffective protective feature.
1.6
Electromagnetic radiation
Interference from electromagnetic radiation is possible, e.g. in
conjunction with open and closed-loop control devices.
If unacceptable emission intensities occur when the fan is
installed, appropriate shielding measures have to be taken by
the user.
NOTE
Electrical or electromagnetic interferences after
installing the device in customer equipment
Verify that the entire setup is EMC compliant.
1.7
Mechanical movement
DANGER
Rotating device
Risk of injury to body parts coming into contact with
the rotor or the impeller.
Secure the device against accidental contact.
Before working on the system/machine, wait until
all parts have come to a standstill.
DANGER
Ejected parts
Missing safety devices may cause balancing weights
or broken fan blades to be ejected and cause injuries.
Take appropriate safety measures.
WARNING
Rotating device
Long hair and dangling items of clothing, jewellery
and the like can become entangled and be pulled into
the device. This can result to injuries.
Do not wear any loose clothing or jewellery while
working on rotating parts.
Protect long hair by wearing a cap.
1.8
Emission
WARNING
Depending on the installation and operating
conditions, the sound pressure level may exceed
70 dB(A).
Risk of noise-induced hearing loss
Take appropriate technical safety measures.
Protect operating personnel with appropriate
safety equipment, e.g. hearing protection.
Also observe the requirements of local agencies.
1.9
Hot surface
CAUTION
High temperature at the electronics housing
Risk of burn
Ensure that sufficient protection against
accidental contact.
1.10
Transport
WARNING
Transport of fan
Injuries from tripping or slipping.
Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety
gloves.
Only transport the fan in its original packaging.
Transport the fan “lying flat”, in other words with
the axis vertical.
Secure the fan(s) so that nothing can slip or fall,
for example using a lashing trap.
