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.
1. Open the cardboard box and take the device out.
2. Completely remove the packaging.
3. Fully unwind the power cable. Make sure that the power
cable is not damaged and that you do not damage it during
unwinding.
Assembly
Connecting the (optional) hose distributors
The devices TFV 20/ TFV 30 can be connected to optional hose
distributors in order to direct the air current towards different
locations.
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 TFV30; however, it
applies accordingly to the TFV20 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.
