1.4. Basic safety regulations
The safety hazards associated with the device must be carefully re-assessed
following installation in the end device. The end product is only to be started up
after being fully checked for compliance with all the pertinent legal requirements,
directives and safety provisions governing the area of application concerned (e.g.
specific national accident prevention regulations and technical rules). Observe the
following when working on the device:
– Do not make any modifications, additions or conversions to the system
without the approval of ebm-papst Landshut.
– Heed the information given in the operating instructions of the end device
manufacturer.
1.5. Voltage and current
Check the electrical equipment of the device at regular intervals. Replace loose
connections and defective cables immediately.
DANGER
Device electrically charged
Risk of electric shock.
Stand on a rubber mat when working on an electrically
charged device.
DANGER
Terminals and connections may be live even with the device
switched off
Electric shock
Wait five minutes following all-pole disconnection of the
voltage before touching the device.
DANGER
In the event of a fault, voltage will be applied to the rotor and
– if fitted – to the impeller
Never touch the rotor and – if fitted – the impeller when
installed.
DANGER
If control voltage is being applied or a specified speed value
has been stored, the device will start up again automatically,
e.g. after mains failure.
Risk of injury
Keep out of the danger zone of the device.
When working on the device, switch off the mains power
supply and secure against renewed switch-on.
Wait for the device to stop.
1.6. Safety and protective functions
DANGER
Missing guard and non-functioning safety device
Without a guard there is a risk of serious injury on reaching into
the device during operation for example.
Never operate the device without a fixed safety barrier and
screen. The safety barrier must be capable of withstanding the
kinetic energy of a fan blade.
The device is a built-in component which does not function
independently. The operator is responsible for providing ade-
quate protection.
Stop the device immediately if a safety device is found to be
missing or ineffective.
1.7. Electromagnetic radiation
Interference from electromagnetic radiation is possible, e.g. in conjunction with
open and closed-loop control devices.
If impermissible radiation levels occur following installation, appropriate shielding
measures have to be taken before being placed on the market.
NOTE
Electrical or electromagnetic interference after fitting the
device in customer installations.
Make sure the entire installation satisfies EMC requirements.
1.8. Mechanical movement
DANGER
Rotating device
Risk of injury to any parts of the body coming into contact with
the rotor and - if fitted - the impeller.
Secure the device to prevent contact. Wait until all parts have
come to a standstill before starting work on the installa-
tion/machine.
1.9. Noise emissions
WARNING
Depending on the installation and operating conditions, the
sound pressure level may exceed 70 dB(A).
Risk of noise-induced hearing loss
Take appropriate technical safety measures.
Protect operating personnel with appropriate safety equip-
ment, e.g. hearing protection.
Also observe the regulations of local authorities.
1.10. Hot surface
CAUTION
High temperature at the housing
Risk of burns
Ensure that sufficient protection against accidental contact is
provided.
1.11. Transportation
NOTE
Transportation of device
The device is only to be transported in its original packaging.
During transportation the packaged devices must be suitably
fastened and secured to prevent damage caused for example by
slipping of the load.
1.12. Storage
– Store the device, partially or fully assembled, in a dry and weatherproof
manner in the original packaging in a clean environment.
– Protect the device against ambient influences and dirt until final installa-
tion.
– We recommend storing the device for no longer than one year in order to
guarantee proper operation and maximum possible service life.
– Ensure compliance with the specified storage temperature.
