    -10 °C to + 50 °C. 1.4 Authorized servicers The Verti-Fan may be serviced by any maintenance company, but Van der Ende Group is preferred because of this company’s thorough knowledge of the Verti-Fan.
  • Page 7: Description

    DESCRIPTION 2.1 General The purpose and function of the Verti-Fan is to displace air vertically from above to below in modern greenhouses. Such displacements of air are often missing in modern, high greenhouses, with consequent variations in temperature at different heights. Displacing air from above to below has a favorable effect on growth, maturation and reduces the susceptibility to fungal diseases.
  • Page 8: Safety Instructions

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When working on the Verti-Fan, always make sure the plug is disconnected from the power supply! This prevents the fan starting unexpectedly or unintentionally. The Verti-Fan may never be connected to the power without the mounting ring and plastic hose. This prevents a danger of cutting parts of the open fan blades.

  • Page 16: Commissioning

    COMMISSIONING This chapter describes the different electrical wirings that can be used to operate the FG035 fan. The chosen connection determines the functionality of the Verti-Fan. Annex B depicts a more comprehensive wiring scheme of the FG035 fan, including the connection diagram for the 0-10 V control option.
  • Page 17: Operating On 0-10V External Setting Signal

    5.2 Operating on 0-10V external setting signal When the cable between 10V and E1 has not been connected, the fan needs to be controlled through an external setting signal (0-10V). Figure 9 depicts the characteristic curve of the fan’s motor torque to the specifications of the external setting signal.
  • Page 18: Operation

    OPERATION Operating the Verti-Fan is simple: if it is connected to the power supply it will start working, when it is disconnected it will stop working. It is possible to set the speed by adjusting the voltage at the plug with something like a control transformer, but this is not part of the Verti-Fan.
