Cutting and crushing hazard when removing device
from packaging

Blades can bend

→ Carefully remove the device from its packaging, by the fan

housing. Strictly avoid shocks.

→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.

NOTE
Damage to the device from vibration

Bearing damage, shorter service life

→ The fan must not be subjected to force or excessive vibration

from sections of the installation. #If the fan is connected to air
ducts, the connection should be isolated from vibration, e.g.
using compensators or similar elements. #Ensure stress-free
attachment of the fan to the substructure.

; Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices are not to

be installed.

; Install the undamaged device in accordance with your application.

CAUTION
Possible damage to the device

If the device slips during installation, serious damage can result.

→ Ensure that the device is securely positioned at its place of

installation until all fastening screws have been tightened.

● The fan must not be strained on fastening.

4.2 Electrical connection

DANGER
Faulty insulation

Risk of fatal injury from electric shock

→ Use only cables that meet the specified installation

regulations for voltage, current, insulation material, capacity,
etc.

→ Route cables so that they cannot be touched by any

rotating parts.

CAUTION
Voltage

The fan is a built-in component and has no disconnecting switch.

→ Only connect the fan to circuits that can be switched off with

an all-pole disconnection switch.

→ When working on the fan, secure the system/machine in

which the fan is installed so as to prevent it from being
switched back on.

NOTE
Water ingress into wires or cables

Water ingress at the customer end of the cable can damage the
device.

→ Make sure the end of the cable is connected in a dry

environment.

Only connect the device to circuits that can be switched off with
an all-pole disconnection switch.

4.2.1 Requirements

; Check whether the information on the nameplate matches the

connection data.

; Before connecting the device, make sure the power supply matches

the device voltage.

; Only use cables designed for the current level indicated on the

nameplate.
For determining the cross-section, note the sizing criteria according
to EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a cross-section
equal to or greater than that of the phase conductor.
We recommend the use of 105 °C cables. Ensure that the minimum
cable cross-section is at least
AWG 26 / 0.13 mm².

4.2.2 Reactive currents

Because of the EMC filter integrated for compliance with EMC
limits (interference emission and immunity to interference),
reactive currents can be measured in the supply line even
when the motor is at a standstill and the line voltage is switched
on.

● The values are typically in the range < 50 mA

● At the same time, the effective power in this operating state

(operational readiness) is typically < 2 W.

4.2.3 Locked-rotor protection

Due to the locked-rotor protection, the starting current (LRA) is
equal to or less than the nominal current (FLA).

4.3 Plug connection

4.3.1 Preparing cables for connection

The cables, including the customer interface, are subject to the
specifications for internal wiring.
Ensure conformity with applicable standards and check the
