4.1.3 Overvoltage protection SKOV A/S equipment are protected for high level of surge transient, but in some cases, specially in areas with frequent lightning strikes and power outage, additional protection is necessary. To reduce the risk of damaging the electronic equipment by large surge overvoltage, it is therefore recommended, always to install Surge Pro- tection Devices (SPD) in the mains supply.
BF 50 LPC -3 Recirculation 4.1.4 Position of motor controller/frequency converter Motor controller/frequency converter must not be built- in or covered and must be mounted on a solid, level surface. In order to uphold protection classifications, access and cooling, the motor controller/frequency converter must be positioned as shown in section Mounting distances for the motor controller/frequency converter [} 16].

When washing the inside of the ducts, fan blades must stand still. Remember that fans do not stand high-pressure cleaning. If the inside of the duct needs to be cleaned extra thoroughly SKOV A/S recommends washing from above. When washing the fan, the fan must run around.
BF 50 LPC -3 Recirculation 6 Trouble shooting instructions Remember to shut the fan off at the power supply isolator prior to troubleshooting. Wait 10 minutes for the capacitors to discharge to a safe voltage level before servicing and trou- bleshooting.
