Electric shock
→ Wait five minutes after disconnecting the voltage at all poles
The device is exclusively designed as a built-in device for moving air
according to its technical data.
Any other or secondary use is deemed improper and constitutes a
misuse of the device.
Installations on the customer's side must meet the mechanical, thermal
and service life-related stresses that can occur.
Proper use also includes:
● Moving air with a density of 1.2 kg/m³.
● Using the device in accordance with the permitted ambient
temperature, see chapter 3.5 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 hold the impeller to remove the device 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
DANGER
Electric voltage on the device
Electric shock
→ Always install a protective earth first.
→ Check the protective earth.
DANGER
Incorrect insulation
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock
→ Use only cables that meet the specified installation
requirements for voltage, current, insulation material, load etc.
→ Route cables such that they cannot be touched by any
rotating parts.
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.
Connect the device only to circuits that can be switched off
using an all-pole disconnecting switch.
cable cross-section is at least
AWG26/0.13 mm².
4.2.2 Voltage control
With open loop speed control using transformers or electronic
voltage regulators (e.g. phase angle control), excessive current
may occur.
In addition, noises can occur with phase angle control
depending on the mounting situation.
4.2.3 Frequency inverter
Please use a frequency converter only after consultation with ebm-papst.
Fit sinusoidal filters that work on all poles (live-live and liveearth) between the frequency inverter and the motor for
operation with frequency inverters.
Depending on how the device is installed, noises may occur.
Heating of the motor due to use of a frequency converter must be
checked in the application by the customer.

4.3.1 Connecting cables with terminals
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.
; Guide the wires into the terminals, see
chapter 4.4 Connection screen.
4.3.2 Motor protection
WARNING
Device without overheating protection
The device is delivered without any automatically functioning
overheating protection. The device can become hot and burn.
→ For the version without TOP, install an additional, suitable
motor protection switch.
4.2.1 Prerequisites
; Check whether the data on the type plate agree with the connection
data and the data of the operating capacitor.
; Before connecting the device, ensure that the supply voltage matches
Translation of the original operating instructions
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
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.
4.7 Switching off the device
; Disconnect the device from the supply voltage at the main switch for
the supply line.

Electric shock, risk of injury
→ Discharge the capacitors before working on the device.
CAUTION
The motor restarts automatically when operating voltage
is applied, e.g. after a power failure.
Danger of injury
→ Keep out of the danger zone of the device.
→ When working on the device, switch off the mains
supply voltage and secure the latter from being switched on
again.
