Operating instructions

R3G160-AC50-01

Translation of the original operating instructions

WARNING
Live terminals and connections even with device
switched off

Electric shock

→ Wait five minutes after disconnecting the voltage at all poles

before opening the device.

CAUTION
In the event of a fault, the rotor and the impeller will be
energized

The rotor and the impeller have basic insulation.

→ Do not touch the rotor and impeller once installed.

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

Risk of injury

→ Keep out of the device’s danger zone.

→ When working on the device, switch off the line voltage

and ensure that it cannot be switched back on.

→ Wait until the device comes to a stop.

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

objects from the device.

1.5 Safety and protective features

DANGER
Protective device missing and protective device not
functioning

Without a protective device there is a risk of serious injury, for
instance when reaching 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 you notice a missing or

ineffective protective device.

1.6 Electromagnetic radiation

Interference from electromagnetic radiation is possible, e.g. in conjunction
with open- and closed-loop control devices.
If impermissible radiation levels occur following installation, appropriate
shielding measures have to be taken by the user.

NOTE
Electrical or electromagnetic interference after installing
the device in customer equipment.

→ Verify that the entire setup is EMC-compliant.

1.7 Mechanical movement

DANGER
Rotating device

Risk of injury to body parts coming into contact with the rotor or
the impeller.

→ 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 and dangling items of clothing, jewelry and the like
can become entangled and be pulled into the device. Injuries
can result.

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

while working on rotating parts.

→ Protect long hair with a cap.

1.8 Emissions

WARNING
Depending on the installation and operating conditions,
the sound pressure level may exceed 70 dB(A).

Risk of noise-induced hearing loss

→ Take appropriate technical safety measures.

→ Protect operating personnel with appropriate safety

equipment such as hearing protection.

→ Also observe the requirements of local agencies.

1.9 Hot surface

CAUTION
High temperature on electronics housing

Risk of burns

→ Ensure sufficient protection against accidental contact.

1.10 Transport

NOTE
Transporting the device

→ Transport the device in its original packaging only.

1.11 Storage

; Store the device, partially or fully assembled, in a dry place,

protected against the weather and free from vibration, in the original
packaging in a clean environment.

; 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 the 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 3.5 Transport and storage conditions.

2. INTENDED USE

The device is exclusively designed as a built-in device for conveying
air according to its technical data.
Any other usage above and beyond this does not conform with the
intended purpose and constitutes misuse of the device.
Customer equipment must be capable of withstanding the mechanical
and thermal stresses that can arise from this product. This applies for the
entire service life of the equipment in which this product is installed.

Intended use also includes

● Use of the device in stationary systems only.

● Conveying air at an ambient air pressure between 800 mbar and

1050 mbar.

● Using the device within the permitted ambient temperature range; see

Chapter 3.5 Transport and storage conditions and
Chapter 3.2 Nominal data.

● Operating the device with all protective devices.

● Following the operating instructions.

Improper use

In particular, operating the device in the following ways is prohibited and
could be hazardous:

● Operating the device in an unbalanced state, e.g. due to dirt deposits

or ice formation.

● Resonant operation, operation with severe vibration. This also

includes vibration transmitted to the fan from the customer installation.

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

function.

● Conveying solids in the flow medium.

● Painting the device

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

● Conveying air that contains abrasive particles.

● Conveying highly corrosive air, e.g. salt spray. Exception: devices

designed for salt spray and correspondingly protected.

● Conveying air with high dust content, e.g. suctioning off sawdust.

● Operating the device close to flammable materials or components.

● Operating the device in an explosive atmosphere.
