CONNECTION AND START-UP

4.1 Mechanical connection

CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing fan
from packaging
→ Carefully remove the device from its packaging, by
the guard grille. Strictly avoid shocks.
→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
CAUTION
Heavy load when unpacking device
Risk of physical injury, such as back injuries
→ Two people should work together to remove the
device from its packaging.
CAUTION
The blades of the impeller could be damaged
→ Carefully set down the fan on a soft surface. Make
sure the blades are not subjected to load. Following
the installation, make sure the impeller moves easily
and that the blades of the impeller are not deformed
or bent and do not catch at any point.
NOTE
Damage to the device from vibration
Bearing damage, shorter service life
→ The fan must not be subjected to force or excessive
vibration from sections of the installation. If the fan is
connected to air ducts, the connection should be
isolated from vibration, e.g. using compensators or
similar elements. Ensure stress-free attachment of
the fan to the substructure.
 Check the device for transport damage. Damaged decvices
are not to be installed.
 Install the undamaged device in accordance with your
application.
 Do not perform any modifications, additions or conversions
on the device. Replacing the terminal box is not permitted.
NOTE
Motor capacitor
→ The product is equipped with a motor capacitor
with safety protection class P0/S0 according to
EN 60252-1. Take this into consideration when
fitting it to the end product on the basis of
applicable regulations.
CAUTION
Possible damage to the device
If the device slips during installtion, serious damage
can result.
 Ensure that the device is securely positioned at
its place of installation until all fastening screws
have been tightened.
 The fan must not be strained on fastening

4.2 Electrical connection

DANGER

4.2.1 Requirements

 Check whether the information on the nameplate matches
the connection data.
 If the motor run capacitor was not installed by ebm-papst,
check whether the information on the motor run capacitor
matches the information on the nameplate.
 Before connecting the device, make sure the power supply
matches the information on the nameplate.
 Only use cables designed for the current level indicated on
the nameplate. For determining the cross-section, note the
sizing criteria according to EN 61800-5-1. The protective
earth must have a cross-section equal to or greater than
that of the phase conductor.
We recommend the use of 105°C cables. Ensure that the
minimum cable cross-section is at least AWG26/0.13 mm².
Revision 001 Release 10/04/2017
DANGER
Faulty insulation
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock
→ Use only cables that meet the specified installation
regulations for voltage, current, insulation material,
capacity, etc.
→ Route cables so that they cannot be touched by any
rotating parts.
DANGER
Electrical charge (>50µC) between phase
conductor and protective earth connection after
switching off supply with multiple devices
connected in parallel
Electric shock, risk of injury
→ Ensure sufficient protection against accidental
contact. Before working on the electrical connection,
short the supply and PE connections.
CAUTION
Voltage
The fan is a built-in component and has no
disconnecting switch.
→ Only connect the fan to circuits that can be switched
off with an all-pole disconnection switch.
→ When working on the fan, secure the
system/machine in which the fan is installed so as to
prevent it from being switched back on.
NOTE
Water ingress into wires or cables
Water ingress at the customer end of the cable can
damage the device.
→ Make sure the end of the cable is connected in a
dry environment.
Only connect the device to circuits that can be
switched off with an all-pole disconnection switch.
