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
● Use of the device in stationary systems only.
● Performance of 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.
● 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.
● Operating the device close to flammable materials or components.
● Operating the device in an explosive atmosphere.

Metallic materials are generally considered to be fully recyclable.
Separate the components for recycling into the following categories:
● Steel and iron
● Aluminum
● Non-ferrous metal, e.g. motor windings
● Plastics, particularly with brominated flame retardants, in accordance
with marking
● Insulating materials
● Cables and wires
● Electronic scrap, e.g. circuit boards
Only ferrite magnets and not rare earth magnets are used in external
rotor motors from ebm-papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co. KG.
; Ferrite magnets can be disposed of in the same way as normal iron
and steel.
Electrical insulating materials on the product, in cables and wires are
made of similar materials and are therefore to be treated in the same
manner.
The materials concerned are as follows:
● Miscellaneous insulators used in the terminal box
● Power cables
● Cables for internal wiring
● Electrolytic capacitors
Dispose of electronic components employing the proper procedures for
electronic scrap.
