Operating instructionsK3G500-PA23-71Translation of the original operating instructionsFor cyclic speed loads, note that the rotating parts of the deviceare designed for maximum one million load cycles. If you havespecific questions, contact ebm-papst for support.Notes on surface qualityThe surfaces of the products conform to the generally applicable industrialstandard. The surface quality may vary during the production period.Strength, dimensional stability and dimensional accuracy are not affectedby this.The colour pigments of the paints used react perceptibly to UV light overthe course of time. This does not however have any influence on thetechnical properties of the products. To prevent the formation of patchesand fading, the product is to be protected against UV radiation. Changesin colour are not a reason for complaint and are not covered by thewarranty.3.5 Mounting data; Secure the mounting screws against accidentally coming loose (e.g.by using self-locking screws).Strength class formounting screws8.8You can obtain additional mounting data from the product drawing ifnecessary.3.6 Transport and storage conditions; Use the device in accordance with its protection type.Max. permissibleambient motor temp.(transp./ storage)+80 °CMin. permissibleambient motor temp.(transp./storage)-40 °C3.7 Electromagnetic compatibilityEMC interferenceimmunityAcc. to EN 61000-6-2 (industrialenvironment)EMC interferenceemissionAcc. to EN 61000-6-4 (industrialenvironment)If several devices are switched in parallel on the mains side sothat the line current of the arrangement is in the range of 16 - 75A, then this arrangement conforms to IEC 61000-3-12 providedthat the short-circuit power Ssc at the connection point of thecustomer system to the public power system is greater than orequal to 120 times the rated output of the arrangement.It is the responsibility of the installation engineer or operator/owner of the device to ensure, if necessary after consultationwith the network operator, that this device is only connected toa connection point with a Ssc value that is greater than or equalto 120 times the rated output of the arrangement.4. CONNECTION AND START-UP4.1 Connecting the mechanical systemCAUTIONCutting and crushing hazard when removing devicefrom packaging→ Carefully remove the device from its packaging, onlytouching the housing. Strictly avoid shocks.# Wear safetyshoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.CAUTIONDevice weighs more than 25 kg! Heavy load whenremoving the device!Risk of physical injury, such as back injuries.→ Use suitable hoisting equipment to remove the device fromthe packaging.NOTEDamage to device from vibrationBearing damage, reduced service life→ Forces or impermissibly high vibration levels must not betransmitted to the fan from system components. #If the fan isconnected to air ducts, it should isolated from vibrations, forexample using compensators or similar elements. #Fastenthe fan to the substructure without distorting it.; The fan may not be handled in the area around the inlet nozzle duringtransport and installation.There is a risk of damage to the impeller.; Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices must nolonger be installed.; Install the undamaged device according to your application.CAUTIONPossibility of damage to the deviceSerious damage may result if the device slips during assembly.→ Keep the device fixed in position at the installation locationuntil all attachment screws have been tightened.4.2 Connecting the electrical systemDANGERElectric voltage on the deviceElectric shock→ Always install a protective earth first.→ Check the protective earth.DANGERIncorrect insulationRisk of fatal injury from electric shock→ Use only cables that meet the specified installationrequirements for voltage, current, insulation material, load etc.→ Route cables such that they cannot be touched by anyrotating parts.DANGERElectrical load (>50 μC) between mains wire andprotective earth connection after switching of the supplywhen switching multiple devices in parallel.Electric shock, risk of injury→ Make sure that sufficient protection against accidental contactis provided.Item no. 54419-5-9970 · ENG · Revision 90170 · Release 2016-07-14 · Page 6 / 12ebm-papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co.
