Operating instructions

A3G560-AP68-35

Translation of the original operating instructions

CAUTION
In the event of failure, there is electric voltage at the
rotor and impeller

The rotor and impeller are base insulated.

→ Do not touch the rotor and impeller once they are installed.

CAUTION
If control voltage is applied or a speed setpoint is stored,
the motor will restart automatically, e.g. after a mains
failure.

Risk of injury

→ Keep out of the device hazard zone.# When working on the

device, switch off the mains power and ensure that it cannot
be switched back on.

→ Wait until the device stops.

→ After working on the device, remove any tools used or

other objects from the device.

1.5 Safety and protective functions

DANGER
Protective device missing and protective device not
functioning

Without a protective device there is a risk of serious injury, for
instance if the hands reach or are sucked into the device during
operation.

→ Operate the device only with a fixed protective device and

guard grille.# The fixed protective device must be able to
withstand the kinetic energy of a fan blade that becomes
detached at maximum speed. There must not be any gaps
which it is possible to reach into with the fingers, for example.

→ The device is a built-in component. As the operator, you

are responsible for ensuring that the device is secured
adequately.

→ Stop the device immediately if a protective device is

found to be missing or ineffective.

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
integrating the device in installations on the customer's
side.

→ Verify that the entire setup is EMC compliant.

1.7 Mechanical movement

DANGER
Rotating device

Body parts that come into contact with the rotor and impeller
can be injured.

→ Secure the device against accidental contact.

→ Before working on the system/machine, wait until all

parts have come to a standstill.

DANGER
Flying parts

Missing safety devices may cause balancing weights or
broken fan blades to be ejected at high speeds, causing bodily
harm.

→ Take appropriate safety measures.

WARNING
Rotating device

Long hair, dangling items of clothing, jewellery and similar items
can become entangled and be pulled into the device. Risk of
injury.

→ Do not wear any loose-fitting or dangling clothing or jewellery

while working on rotating parts.# Protect long hair with a cap.

1.8 Emission

WARNING
Depending on the installation and operating conditions,
a sound pressure level greater than 70 dB(A) may arise.

Danger 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 burns

→ Ensure sufficient contact protection.

1.10 Transport

WARNING
Transportation of fan

Injuries from tipping 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 motor axis vertical.

→ Secure the fan(s) so that nothing can slip or tip, e.g. by

using a lashing strip.

NOTE
Transporting the device

→ Transport the device in its original packaging only.

1.11 Storage

; Store the device, partially or fully assembled, in the original

packaging in a clean, dry and weatherproof place free of vibrations.

; Protect the device against environmental effects and dirt until final

installation.

; We recommend storing the device for no longer than one year in

order to guarantee trouble-free operation and longest possible service
life.

; Even devices explicitly intended for outdoor use are to be stored as

described prior to commissioning.

; Maintain the storage temperature, see

chapter 3.6 Transport and storage conditions.

include vibrations that are transmitted from the customer system to the
fan.

● Operation in medical equipment with a life-sustaining or lifesaving

function.

● Operation with external vibrations.

● Moving solids content in flow medium.

● Painting the device

● Connections (e.g. screws) coming loose during operation.

● Opening the terminal box during operation.

● Moving air that contains abrasive particles.

● Moving highly corrosive air, e.g. salt spray mist. Exceptions are

devices that are intended for salt spray mist and protected accordingly.

● Moving air that contains dust pollution, e.g. suctioning off saw dust.

● Operating the device close to flammable materials or components.

● Operating the device in an explosive atmosphere.

● Using the device as a safety component or for taking on safety-

related functions.
