1.1 Levels of hazard warnings
These operating instructions use the following hazard levels to indicate
potentially hazardous situations and important safety regulations:
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Compliance with
the measures is mandatory.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury. Exercise extreme
caution while working.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury or damage of property.
NOTE
A potentially harmful situation can occur and, if not avoided, can
lead to property damage.
1.2 Staff qualification
The device may only be transported, unpacked, installed, operated,
maintained and otherwise used by qualified, trained and authorised
technical staff.
Only authorised specialists are permitted to install the device, to carry
out a test run and to perform work on the electrical installation.
1.3 Basic safety rules
Any safety hazards stemming from the device must be re-evaluated
once it is installed in the end device.
Observe the following when working on the unit:
; Do not make any modifications, additions or conversions to the
device without the approval of ebm-papst.
1.4 Electrical voltage
; Check the electrical equipment of the device at regular intervals, refer
to chapter 5.2 Safety test.
; Replace loose connections and defective cables immediately.
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
If control voltage is applied or a speed setpoint is stored,
the motor automatically restarts, e.g. after a power failure.
→ When working on the device, switch off the mains
supply voltage and secure the latter from being switched on
again.
→ Wait until the device stops.
→ After working on the device, remove any used tools or
other objects from the device.
1.5 Safety and protective functions
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.
→ Shut down the device immediately if you detect 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
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.
WARNING
Rotating device
Long hair, loose items of clothing and jewellery could become
entangled and pulled into the device. You could be injured.
→ Do not wear any loose clothing or jewellery while working
on rotating parts.
Translation of the original operating instructions
→ Protect long hair by wearing a cap.
1.8 Emission

temperature, see chapter 3.6 Transport and storage conditions and
chapter 3.2 Nominal data.
● Operating the device with all protective features in place.
● Minding the operating instructions.
Improper use
Using the device in the following ways is particularly prohibited and
may cause hazards:
● Operating the device with an imbalance, e.g. caused by dirt deposits
or icing.
● 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.
● Operation with completely or partially disassembled or modified
protective features.
● In addition, all application options that are not listed under proper use.

CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing the fan
from the packaging
→ Carefully remove the fan from its packaging. Make sure to
avoid any shock.
→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
; Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices must no
longer be installed.
; Install the undamaged device according to your application.
4.2 Connecting the electrical system
CAUTION
Electrical voltage
The fan is a built-in component and features no electrically
isolating switch.
→ Only connect the fan to circuits that can be switched off with
an all-pole separating switch.
→ When working on the fan, you must switch off the
installation/machine in which the fan is installed and secure it
from being switched on again.
NOTE
Water penetration into leads or wires
Water enters at the cable end on the customers side and can
damage the device.
→ Make sure that the cable end is connected in a dry
environment.
Operate the device with a safely isolated power pack.
4.3 Connection of the cables
External leads are brought out of device.
● Connect the lines according to your application. When doing so,
observe chapter 4.4 Connection screen.
4.2.1 Prerequisites
; Check whether the data on the type plate agree with the connection
data.
; Before connecting the device, ensure that the supply voltage matches
the operating voltage of the device.
; Only use cables designed for current according to the type plate.
For determining the cross-section, follow the basic principles in
accordance with EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a
cross-section equal to or greater than the outer conductor crosssection.
We recommend the use of 105°C cables. Ensure that the minimum
cable cross-section is at least
AWG26/0.13 mm².
4.2.2 Idle current
Because of the EMC filter integrated for compliance with EMC
Translation of the original operating instructions
limits (interference emission and interference immunity), idle
currents in the mains cable can be measured even when the
motor is at a standstill and the mains voltage is switched on.
The device may only be switched on if it has been installed properly and
in accordance with its intended use, including the required safety
mechanisms and professional electrical connection. This also applies for
devices which have already been equipped with plugs and terminals or
similar connectors by the customer.
WARNING
Hot motor housing
Fire hazard
→ Ensure that no combustible or flammable materials are
located close to the fan.
; Inspect the device for visible external damage and the proper function
of the protective features before switching it on.
; Check the air flow paths of the fan for foreign objects and remove any
that are found.
; Apply the nominal voltage to the voltage supply.
; Start the device by changing the input signal.
4.7 Switching off the device
Switching off the device during operation:
; Switch off the device via the control input.
; Do not switch the motor (e.g. in cyclic operation) on and off via power
supply.
Switching off the device for maintenance work:
; Switch off the device via the control input.
; Do not switch the motor (e.g. in cyclic operation) on and off via power
supply.
