Do not close or block the intake or extract vents in order to ensure the efficient air flow. Do not sit on the unit and do not put objects on it. The information in this user’s manual was correct at the time of the document’s preparation.
The fan handles smoke and air mixtures with temperatures up to +600 °C for 60 minutes. A characteristic feature of Tower-SV-K2 roof fans is an impeller with backward curved blades and an electric motor with an insulated cover, a powder-coated welded body, and an insulated cover and galvanized steel outer casing.
TECHNICAL DATA The fans are rated for connection to 3~400 V/50 Hz power mains. Both a direct connection to power mains and a connection via a frequency converter are possible. The unit is rated as a Class I electrical appliance.
Do not put the fan on the air duct while mounting to avoid its deformation. Fastening the fan to the mounting frame is carried out with bolts and washers of the appropriate size. After installing the unit, you need to make sure that the fan impeller rotates freely. Tower-SV-K2 fan Mounting frame...

ASYNCHRONOUS ELECTRIC MOTOR STARTING METHODS There are several methods for starting asynchronous squirrel-cage electric motors. The most common methods are: direct-on-line (DOL), with a soft starter (SS) or with a frequency converter (FC). Direct-on-line starting In case of direct-on-line starting (i.e. by connecting the motor to the electric mains with a simple line contactor), the motor starting time significantly increases due to high inertia of the impeller, which, in turn, results in high in-rush starting currents in the circuit.
Problems associated with DOL starting The problems caused by DOL starting may be divided into two groups: An abrupt start causes mechanical shock, jolts in the mechanism, shock removal of free play etc. A heavy start cannot be completed.
TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS! MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER MAINS BEFORE REMOVING THE PROTECTION PRIOR TO COMMENCING ANY TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE PUT UP A PROHIBITORY SIGN ON THE FAN STARTING PANEL: “DO NOT SWITCH ON! MEN AT WORK!”...
