4. APPLICATIONS
The requirements and characteristics of each fan model are always determined by the general and local standards
and regulations to which every application may be subject. Therefore, in some cases, the selected standard units
may not be adequate for certain applications, and special characteristics should be incorporated. For example,
unitstobeinstalledinsurroundingswithfireorexplosionrisksshouldcomplywiththeATEX94/9/CEstandard
and therefore with the D.C.89/106CEE directive. Other characteristics such as raised work temperature or corrosive
surroundings may also require special models to guarantee compliance.
THE FAN LABEL WILL ALWAYS INDICATE THE APPARATUS COMPLIANCE WITH ANY SPECIFIC STANDARD. FOR
VERIFICATION, PLEASE CONTACT US.
The selected fan model should never be used to convey gas of a composition or temperature other than that
specifiedbyWoodsAirMovement,norshoulditoperateinsurroundingswithdifferentconditionstothose
indicated IN THE ATEX RANGE OF FANS. THE TEMPERATURE REACHED BY ANY OF THE SURFACES HAS BEEN
CALCULATED TO ENSURE THE PRESENCE OF THE SPECIFIED GASES WILL NOT POSE A RISK OF IGNITION. ANY
UNSUITABLE USE OR OVERLOAD OF THE FAN CAN POSE A SECURITY RISK.
5. FAN RECEPTION AND VERIFICATION
Fans are carefully packed for transport, but their delivery is at the risk of the buyer. It is therefore recommended
that merchandise is carefully checked on arrival for damage that may have occurred during transport. Any claim
for damages should be made immediately by the buyer to the transport company, or to the insurance company
6. TRANSPORT AND STORING
Transport companies and intermediate suppliers who have been involved in the transport and storage of fans until
finaldeliverywillberesponsibleforanydamagecausedtotheapparatusduringthisperiod;whichcoversboth
inadequate transport or storage. They are also responsible for pursuing, with the end client, any damages
not covered by the manufacturer's guarantee.
Knocks or sudden movement may damage the more sensitive components of the fan, such as roller bearings and
motors, transmission components or rotating parts "turbines or propellers" (elements that can become stuck or
deformed and therefore unbalanced).
During the storage of the apparatus, before its installation, it must be protected against anything that may cause
damage. This includes dust, rain, ultraviolet radiation (direct exposure to the sun) high humidity and sudden
changes of temperature. These potentially harmful elements are the principal causes of the deterioration of the
fan, causing serious damage through oxidation of the components or deterioration of its paint.
The fan must be carefully handled in compliance with the detailed instructions provided. Every fan, depending on
its weight and construction, will be delivered in individual cardboard boxes or pallets. They may also be provided
with bracing points placed to anchor them so they may be moved with a crane or pulley.
7. QUALITY CONTROL
7.1 OPERATION
Before delivery, all fans are submitted to electrical safety and operating tests. This ensures that, if the apparatus
hasnotsufferedanydamageduringtransportanditiscorrectlyinstalledasindicatedintheseinstructions,itwill
operate correctly.
7.1 BALANCING
The rotating element "propeller or turbine" of the fan has been dynamically balanced with a residual lack of
equilibrium to not surpass the tolerances according to the ISO1940-1 and ISO10816-1 standard, quality Q 2,5
or Q 6,3 depending on the models.
However, we recommend a thorough assessment is carried out before installation; rotating the element by hand
to ensure it does not scrape, and to check there is no damage caused during transport. Do not install or turn on
the fan if there is any damage. Please contact our technical service in this instance
