3 Product overview3.1 Application operational areaThe fans / motors are not ready-for-use products, but conceived as components forventilation systems (type designation see rating plate). The fans / motors may only thenbe operated when they are installed in accordance with their intended use, and safetyhas been secured through protective devices in accordance with EN ISO 13857 (EN ISO12100) or other structural protective measures.Attention!The transfer of solids or solids content in the transfer medium is not permissible!The motors are approved for use in potentially explosive areas of category 3G (Zone 2)in accordance with Directive 2014/34/EU with type of protection “nA” (non-sparkingdevice) in accordance with EN 60079-15.The prerequisite is that the installation is done in accordance with these assemblyinstructions!• Marking dependent on temperature class T4 or T5 (see rating plate):– II 3G nA IIA T4– II 3G nA IIA T5Example for motor rating plate• Please make sure that the "Ex" symbol is printed in the hexagon on the motor ratingplate, and that the device category and type of protection match the system require-ments. Otherwise the motor must not be used!• The temperature class specified on the rating plate must be higher than or equal tothe temperature class of the explosive gas that may escape.3.2 Functional descriptionECQ motors from ZIEHL-ABEGG are highly efficient, electronically commuted motors(EC) with an integrated controller. They are designed exclusively for driving axial fans.The motors are designed for continuous operation (S1-operation) and are thermallyprotected.Depending on version motors with a fixed speed or motors with three speeds ( ratingplate).Assembly instructions ECQ Product overviewL-BAL-F071-GB 1642 Index 001 Part.-No. 00703698-GB6/17
