Safety on site is responsibility of competent personnel and in accordance with applicable International, National and
Local regulations. This unit should be electrically isolated and locked out before any work started.
• Safety guard accessories are available from S&P if required due to specifi c installation.
• Safety protective clothing, equipment, hearing protection, and tools may be required.
Safe selection
• Fan equipment shall be selected based on competent users / employers / competent person, data.
• User’s electrical supply, air duty, and any relevant data, for example if speed control is required, must be considered.
• All fan data applicable to “Standard Air” with inside ambient air / ducted air temperature within range, -5°C to +50°C
unless stated otherwise.
Safe ventilation
• Ensure adequate ventilation available to fan and motor. Working ambient inner temperature for this fan series should
not be exceeded, typically this will be within -5°C to +50°C, unless stated otherwise.
Safe operation
• This emergency ventilation fan and motors are suitable for S1 duty cycle, and one off emergency smoke operation
(dual purpose). The fan motor power supply must be designed to accommodate any motor protection devices, where
applicable, for S1 duty cycle. Ensure these devices are fi tted and operating correctly.
However, for emergency smoke extract the fan is designed and certifi ed to run at the stated temperature and time, or
to destruction. Therefore, all motor protection devices must be disabled or bypassed under such event.
Power supply should be via a protected source to enable fan to run under emergency fi re smoke conditions. In case a
VSD is used for normal ventilation, it shall be bypassed in this scenario, leaving the fan in Direct on line supply.
• If fan is not to be operated for long periods of time, it should be run as prescribed by local regulations, or as minimum
15 minutes each month, to ensure safe operation.
