Information about the device

Device description

The devices TFV 10/ TFV 20/ TFV 30 were designed for a very high air flow rate. They may be used for drying carpets, buildings or screed as well as for the ventilation of poorly accessible intermediate spaces. Owing to the high air circulation, the devices can also be used to control excessive humidity levels. The fan is also very effective for the additional air circulation when heating large buildings, e.g. in the months of winter.
The TFV 20/ TFV 30 are further equipped with a service socket, which means that you can operate another device via the same socket. This socket is ready for operation for as long as the devices TFV 20/ TFV 30 are connected to the mains – they do not need to be switched on.
Moreover, you can connect optional hose distributors to the devices TFV 20/ TFV 30 in order to direct the air current towards different locations.
The cable of this devices TFV 10/ TFV 20/ TFV 30 can be wound around the cable holder at the carrying handle.
The devices TFV 10/ TFV 20/ TFV 30 are designed in a way that several devices can be safely stacked on top of one another for space-saving storage. Do not exceed the maximum of five stacked devices.
In addition to all conventional ventilation tasks these turbo fans are also suited particularly well for the quick elimination of moisture at the underbody after driving on wet roads.
The devices can be set up at different angles in order to reach difficult corners or otherwise inaccessible hollows: 0°, 45°, 90°.

Behaviour in the event of an emergency

1. In an emergency, disconnect the device from the mains feed-in: Switch the device off and disconnect it from the mains.
2. Remove persons from the danger area.
3. Do not reconnect a defective device to the mains.

The device TFV 20 can be used with an optional two-way hose distributor, and the device TFV 30 with an optional three-way hose distributor.
Info
Seal off unused connections by means of suitable sealing caps and possibly with hose clamps to prevent a decrease in the air flow rate.
Info
The procedure of fitting a hose distributor is described below using the example of a three-way hose distributor that is connected to the TFV30; however, it applies accordingly to the TFV20 and a two-way hose distributor.
1. Open the clamps of the three-way hose distributor.
2. Affix the three-way hose distributor at the designated locations at both ends of the air outlet.
3. Make sure that at the bottom the three-way hose distributor is positioned flush with the device.
4. Close both clamps of the three-way hose distributor.
5. Check the clamps and the three-way hose distributor for tight fit.
6. If attached, remove the sealing caps from the three-way hose distributor.
