2. INTENDED USE
The device is exclusively designed as a built-in device for conveying
air according to its technical data.
Any other usage above and beyond this does not conform with the
intended purpose and constitutes misuse of the device.
Customer equipment must be capable of withstanding the mechanical
and thermal stresses that can arise from this product. This applies for the
entire service life of the equipment in which this product is installed.
Intended use also includes
● Using the device solely outside of the EU.
● Using the device only in stationary systems.
● Performing all maintenance work.
● Conveying air at an ambient air pressure between 800 mbar and
1050 mbar.
● Using the device within the permitted ambient temperature range; see
Chapter 3.5 Transport and storage conditions and
Chapter 3.2 Nominal data.
● Operating the device with all protective devices.
● Following the operating instructions.

Improper use
In particular, operating the device in the following ways is prohibited and
could be hazardous:
● Operating the device in an unbalanced state, e.g. due to dirt deposits
or ice formation.
● Resonant operation, operation with severe vibration. This also
includes vibration transmitted to the fan from the customer installation.
● Operation in medical equipment with a life-sustaining or life-support
function.
● Conveying solids in the flow medium.
● Painting the device
● Connections (e.g. screws) coming loose during operation.
● Opening the terminal box during operation.
● Conveying air that contains abrasive particles.
● Conveying highly corrosive air, e.g. salt spray. Exception: devices
designed for salt spray and correspondingly protected.
● Conveying air with high dust content, e.g. suctioning off sawdust.

CAUTION
Voltage
The device is a built-in component and has no disconnecting
switch.
→ Connect the device to a suitable tripping unit.
→ Only connect the device to circuits that can be switched
off with an all-pole disconnection switch.
→ When working on the device, secure the system/
machine in which the device is installed so as to prevent it
from being switched back on.
NOTE
Lack of motor protection
Without motor protection, the motor can overheat and suffer
damage.
→ Connect the thermal overload protector installed in the
winding.
The motors are equipped with thermal overload protectors to protect the
devices.
Check to make sure that the thermal overload protector is correctly
connected before each operation.
Failure to connect the thermal overload protector correctly will
invalidate your warranty claim.
