Intended use The Pfannenberg top filterfans and top exhaust filters of the PTF and PTFA series are stationary filterfans for ventilation and heat dissipation from switch cabinets and electronics housings. This is done by feeding in ambient air with a temperature below the permitted switch cabinet interior temperature.
Foreseeable misuse The following points describe a foreseeable misuse of the unit: • Use of the unit as a storage place, work platform. • Use of the unit as a climbing aid. • Attachment of transport aids. • Installation in unsuitable locations. •...
The following must be observed to assert warranty claims and to return the unit: • Enclose a detailed description of the defect and the SRO (RMA) number assigned by Pfannenberg. • Enclose proof of purchase (copy of delivery note or invoice).
Unit description Unit structure The Pfannenberg top filterfans and top exhaust filters of the PTF and PTFA series are designed for dissipating heat from switch cabinets. • Efficient heat transport by optimum air guidance. • Tool-less assembly, quick fastening system (not for PTF1200).
PTF 1200 G00098 Fig. 2: Unit structure PTF 1200 Unit cover Fastening screws (4x) Fan motor/motor assembly Electrical connection Filter mats Equipotential bonding connection Housing The top filterfans PTF 1200 consist of the unit cover, the steel housing, the motor assembly and the filter mats. They are assembled by screwing to the switch cabinet.
PTF 1200 (air outlet) shall be combined with 2 filter kits model PFA 60.000 (air inlet) rated Type 12, or with Pfannenberg filter fan kits PFA or DPFA rated Type 12 having an area equal to or larger than the 2 filter kits model PFA 60.000.
The PTFA should be operated together with an opening to the air inlet which lets through sufficient air for the application and should be located in the lower third of the the switch cabinet or electronic housing to be ventilated. Pfannenberg filterfans (PF) for actively sucking in the air are typically used for this.
3.4.3 Safety information CAUTION Danger of irritation to the eyes Irritation of the eyes and muscles is possible after long exposure to the air stream. • Avoid standing in the air stream for long periods of time. 3.4.3.1 Safety devices The fan motor is equipped with a thermal or electronic winding protection device for protection against overloading.
