Important safety information

, page 2

Pay attention to the safety data sheet of the chemical substances transported with the fan.

Danger

Loss of explosion protection

• The manufacturer must always be consulted before any maintenance or repair work is carried out!

Repairs should preferably always be carried out by the manufacturer! Exceptions can be made for non-
relevant components such as terminal boxes, screwed cable connections, etc. These can also be dealt
with on-site by the operator's qualified staff (authorised personnel). Non-compliance will result in the
ATEX certification being revoked!

• For ATEX-certified products, the repair or replacement of fan components is expressly only permitted

after consultation with the manufacturer and only if the manufacturer's original parts are used!

• After repair, the fan/system must be subjected to an inspection in accordance with local conditions,

regulations and laws (in Germany: §14 Abs 6 der BetrSichV Industrial Safety Regulation). This does not
apply to repairs carried out by the manufacturer.

14.1 Troubleshooting

Table 6 Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible causes

Remedy

Fan does not run
smoothly

Impeller imbalance

Rebalancing by a specialist company if possible,
otherwise contact Systemair.

Soiling on the impeller

Clean carefully, rebalance

Material decomposition on the
impeller due to aggressive
material conveyed.

Contact Systemair

Impeller rotates in wrong
direction.

Change direction of rotation (swap two phases in case of
a 3– phase motor).
Contact Systemair

Deformation of impeller due to
excessive temperature.

Ensure that the temperature does not exceed the certified
value/Install new impeller.

Vibrations, oscillations

Check the installation of the fan/check the duct system,
see 10

Installation

, page 11.

Fan operation in resonant
frequency range

Consider chapter 11.2

Variable-speed fans

, page 13

Air output of fan too
low

Impeller rotates in wrong
direction.

Change direction of rotation (swap two phases in case of
a 3– phase motor).

Wrong wiring configuration (e.g.
Y instead of Delta).

Check and possibly correct the wiring configuration.

Pressure losses too high.

Optimize the line routing.

Flow regulators not or only
partly open.

Check opening position on site.

Intake or pressure ducts are
blocked.

Remove the blockage.

Grinding sounds
when starting or
operating the fan

Check if the duct connections of
the fan are strained.

Loosen the duct connections and realign it.
