CONNECTION TO POWER MAINS
DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM POWER MAINS PRIOR TO ANY OPERATIONS.
THE UNIT MUST BE CONNECTED TO POWER MAINS BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
THE RATED ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS OF THE UNIT ARE SHOWN
ON THE RATING PLATE.
ANY TAMPERING WITH THE INTERNAL CONNECTIONS IS PROHIBITED
AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
The Helix fan is rated for connection to single-phase alternating current 230 V/ 50 (60) Hz power supply. The S-Vent fan is rated for
connection to three-phase alternating current 400 V/ 50 (60) Hz power supply.
The fan must be connected to power mains using durable, insulated and heat-resistant electric conductors (cables, wires).
Connect the unit to power mains through the external automatic circuit breaker with a magnetic trip integrated into the fixed wiring
system.
The installation place of the circuit breaker must provide unhampered access to the unit for its emergency shutdown.
For selection of the rated trip current of the automatic circuit breaker refer to the fan technical data table.
The wire cross section is stated in the table.
The actual conductor cross section selection must be based on the maximum permissible wire temperature depending in the wire type,
insulation, length and installation method.

WIRING STEPS FOR THE S-Vent FAN
• Make sure the power cable is disconnected from power supply (Fig. 1).
• Take off the lid of the terminal box located on the motor casing (Fig. 2).
• Route the power cable wires through the cable gland on the terminal box, then strip the wires for 7-8 mm (Fig. 3).
• Connect the wires to the terminal box in compliance with the wiring diagram and considering the terminal marking. The three-phase
motors must be star-connected (Fig. 3 und 4). For doing that insert the wires into the metal part of the terminals against insulation
stop and fix those with the screws.
• Cover the terminal box with the lid (Fig. 4).

The air direction must match the pointer direction of the fan casing.
To check the impeller direction turn the fan on for a short run.
If the impeller rotation is wrong, change any two phase conductors on the motor terminals. For that change the respective wires on the
terminal block in the terminal box.

Wiring example for the Helix fan with external leads of the motor overheating protection and a magnetic starter is shown in Fig. 3.
The terminals TW1, TW2 are the leads of the normally closed contact of the motor overheating protection.
This contact must be serial connected to the power circuit of the magnetic starter coil that starts the motor.
In case of the motor overheating the contact is opened and breaks power supply to the starter coil. This way the motor is stopped.

TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the unit from power supply prior to any maintenance operations. Make sure the rotations parts have come to a full stop.
The fan maintenance includes regular cleaning of the surfaces of dust and dirt.
Clean the impeller blades each 6 months.
Impeller blades cleaning is as follows:
• Disconnect the fan from power supply.
• Provide access to the impeller blades.
• S-Vent models: loosen the screws and remove the air intake ring.
• Helix models: loosen the screws and remove the motor-impeller block.
• Clean the impeller blades using a soft dry brush or compressed air.
• In case of high contaminations wet cleaning is recommended. Clean the impeller blades with a soft cloth wetted in a neutral detergent
solution. Avoid liquid dripping on the motor!
After cleaning perform all the operations in the reverse order.
