Operating instructions

W3GZ50-FC04-01

Translation of the original operating instructions

CAUTION
In the event of failure, there is electric voltage at the
rotor and impeller
The rotor and impeller are base insulated.
→ Do not touch the rotor and impeller once they are installed.

CAUTION
If control voltage is applied or a speed setpoint is stored,
the motor automatically restarts, e.g. after a power failure.
Danger of injury
→ Keep out of the danger zone of the device.
→ When working on the device, switch off the mains

supply voltage and secure the latter from being switched on
again.

→ Wait until the device stops.
→ After working on the device, remove any used tools or

other objects from the device.

1.5 Safety and protective functions

DANGER
Missing safety device and non-functioning safety device
If there is no safety device, you could be seriously injured, for
example if you reach into the running device or your hands are
sucked into it.
→ Operate the device only with a fixed and isolating safety

protection and a fixed guard grille.
The guard must withstand the kinetic energy of a fan blade
detaching at maximum speed.

→ The device is a built-in component. You, the owner/

operator, are responsible for providing adequate protection for
the device.

→ Shut down the device immediately if you detect a

missing or ineffective protective feature.

1.6 Electromagnetic radiation

NOTE
Electrical or electromagnetic interferences after
integrating the device in installations on the customer's
side.
→ Verify that the entire setup is EMC compliant.

1.7 Mechanical movement

DANGER
Rotating device
Body parts that come into contact with the rotor and impeller
can be injured.
→ Secure the device against accidental contact.
→ Before working on the system/machine, wait until all

parts have come to a standstill.

DANGER
Flying parts
Missing safety devices may cause balancing weights or
broken fan blades to be ejected at high speeds, causing bodily
harm.
→ Take appropriate safety measures.

WARNING
Rotating device
Long hair, loose items of clothing and jewellery could become
entangled and pulled into the device. You could be injured.
→ Do not wear any loose clothing or jewellery while working

on rotating parts.

→ Protect long hair by wearing a cap.

1.8 Emission

WARNING
Depending on the installation and operating conditions,
a sound pressure level greater than 70 dB(A) may arise.
Danger of noise-induced hearing loss
→ Take appropriate technical safety measures.
→ Protect operating personnel with appropriate safety

equipment, e.g. hearing protection.

→ Also observe the requirements of local agencies.

1.9 Hot surface

CAUTION
High temperature at the electronics enclosure
Danger of burn injuries
→ Ensure that sufficient protection against accidental contact is

provided.

1.10 Transport

WARNING
Transport of fan
Injuries from slipping or falling.
→ Only transport the fan in its original packaging.
→ The fans must always be transported and handled such

that they cannot tip.
This is particularly necessary to observe in the case of
devices that stand "vertically" (with horizontal axes). #
Transport the fan "lying flat", in other words with the axis
vertical.

→ Secure the fan(s) with a lashing strap, for example, so

that nothing slips or tips; this is especially important if
stacking multiple fans.

→ Also take into consideration potential wind forces.

1.11 Storage

WARNING
Storing the fan
Injuries from slipping or falling.
→ The fans must always be stored and handled

such that they cannot tip.
This is particularly necessary to observe in the case of
devices that stand "vertically" (with horizontal axes). #
Store the fan "lying flat", in other words with the axis vertical.

→ Secure the fan(s) with a lashing strap, for example, so

that nothing slips or tips; this is especially important if
stacking multiple fans.

→ Also take into consideration potential wind forces.

; Store the device, partially or fully assembled, in a dry and

weatherproof manner in the original packing in a clean environment.
