axis-Jet www.blaubergventilatoren.de Only qualified electricians with a work permit for electrical units up to 1000 V are allowed for installation. The present user’s manual should be carefully read before beginning works. Check the unit for any visible damage of the impeller, the casing, and the grille before starting installation.
axis-Jet www.blaubergventilatoren.de PURPOSE Jet axial fans are designed for general purpose ventilation of underground and semiopened car parks, ventilation of tunnels, smoke extraction in case of fire as a part of smoke extraction system. The fans generate a high-speed and high-pressure directed air jet. The unit is rated for continuous operation.
axis-Jet www.blaubergventilatoren.de TECHNICAL DATA The unit is rated as a Class I electrical appliance. Ingress protection rating against access to hazardous parts and water ingress is IP55 for the motor and IP54 for the unit. The fan design is constantly being improved, thus some models may be slightly different from those described in this manual.
axis-Jet www.blaubergventilatoren.de DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE Casing The fans are supplied in an all-welded metal casing with rolled flanges. All the casing components are powder coated for improved protection against the environmental effects. The casing is sound-insulated with a layer of mineral wool. The casing has special brackets for mounting the motor which also double as guides and ensure even distribution of air across the impeller blades thereby improving the aerodynamic performance.
axis-Jet www.blaubergventilatoren.de MOUNTING AND SET-UP ALL OPERATIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS USER’S MANUAL MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY, PROPERLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN VENTILATION EQUIPMENT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE PRODUCT YOURSELF. IT IS UNSAFE AND IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE. WHILE INSTALLING THE UNIT ENSURE CONVENIENT ACCESS FOR SUBSEQUENT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
axis-Jet www.blaubergventilatoren.de CONNECTION TO POWER MAINS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY PRIOR TO ANY OPERATIONS WITH THE UNIT. CONNECTION OF THE UNIT TO POWER MAINS IS ALLOWED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN WITH A WORK PERMIT FOR THE ELECTRIC UNITS UP TO 1000 V AFTER CAREFUL READING OF THE PRESENT USER’S MANUAL.

axis-Jet www.blaubergventilatoren.de 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.
axis-Jet www.blaubergventilatoren.de 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. Let us review three variations of a heavy start: 1.
