The surface quality may change during the production period.This has no effect on strength, dimensional stability and dimensionalaccuracy.The color pigments in the paints used perceptibly react to UV light overthe course of time. This does not however in any way affect thetechnical properties of the products. The product is to be protected againstUV radiation to prevent the formation of patches and fading. Changes incolor are not a reason for complaint and are not covered by the warranty.3.5 Mounting data; Secure the screws against unintentional loosening (e.g. use self-locking screws).Strength class ofscrews8.8Any further mounting data required can be taken from the productdrawing or Section Chapter 4.1 Mechanical connection.3.6 Transport and storage conditionsMax. permittedambient temp. formotor (transport/storage)+80 °CMin. permittedambient temp. formotor (transport/storage)-40 °C4. CONNECTION AND STARTUP4.1 Mechanical connectionCAUTIONCutting and crushing hazard when removing devicefrom packagingBlades can bend→ Carefully remove the device from its packaging, by the fanhousing. Strictly avoid shocks.→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.CAUTIONHeavy load when unpacking deviceRisk of physical injury, such as back injuries.→ Two people should work together to remove the device fromits packaging.CAUTIONThe blades of the impeller could be damaged.→ Carefully set down the fan on a soft surface. Make sure theblades are not subjected to load.→ Following installation, make sure the impeller moveseasily and that the blades of the impeller are not deformed orbent and do not catch at any point.NOTEDamage to the device from vibrationBearing damage, shorter service life→ The fan must not be subjected to force or excessive vibrationfrom sections of the installation.→ If the fan is connected to air ducts, the connection shouldbe isolated from vibration, e.g. using compensators or similarelements.→ Ensure stress-free attachment of the fan to thesubstructure.; Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices are not tobe installed.; Install the undamaged device in accordance with your application.; Do not perform any modifications, additions or conversions on thedevice. Replacing the terminal box is not permitted.CAUTIONPossible damage to the deviceIf the device slips during installation, serious damage can result.→ Ensure that the device is securely positioned at its place ofinstallation until all fastening screws have been tightened.● The fan must not be strained on fastening.4.2 Electrical connectionDANGERVoltage on the deviceElectric shock→ Always connect a protective earth first.→ Check the protective earth.Item no. 12024-5-9970 · ENU · Change 207228 · Approved 2020-02-17 · Page 6 / 12ebm-papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co.
