STORAGE / INSTALLATION

The unit must be stored in clean, dry conditions. DO NOT install these fans in areas where
the following may be present:-
1) Excessive oil or grease laden atmosphere.
2) Corrosive or flammable gases, fluids or vapours.
3) Ambient temperatures higher than 40
4) Relative humidity above 95%
5) Possible obstructions which will hinder removal.
6) Sudden ductwork transformations close to the unit.
If the unit is to be stored for a long period of time the fan impeller must be rotated by hand at
monthly intervals to prevent hardening of the lubricant and corrosion or static indentation of
the bearings.
It is recommended that before installation the resistance to earth should be measured and if
found to be less than 2 MΩ the motor should be dried out before applying mains voltage.

IMPORTANT - SAFETY

All air moving equipment may present electrical, mechanical or noise hazards either during
installation or during operation. These instructions are meant to help in the prevention and / or
minimisation of these hazards. It is important that due consideration is given to the
implementation of these instructions and to due attention being given to applicable statutory
requirements.
Potential hazards from rotating parts that can be reached during operation must be eliminated
by using appropriate guards meeting statutory requirements.
All electrical installation must be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person and
must be carried out in accordance with all relevant Statutory Requirements. Please check the
details on the unit rating plate to ensure that the correct power supply (Voltage, Frequency,
and Phase) is available. Do not use the fans with an incorrect power supply, overheating and
failure of the motor will occur.
All fans generate noise during operation. Dependant on the installation sound attenuators or
other acoustic treatment may be necessary to achieve acceptable noise levels in the
ventilated area or the area surrounding the fan installation. The product catalogues indicate
the noise levels generated by the equipment in standard test situations. The installed
condition may affect the actual noise levels experienced in operation.
