CONNECTION AND START-UP 4.2.1 Prerequisites 4.1 Connecting the mechanical system ; Check whether the data on the type plate agree with the connection data. CAUTION Cutting and crushing hazard when removing the fan from the packaging → Carefully remove the device from its packaging, holding it by the centre of the blades only. Make sure to avoid any shock. → Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves. ; Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices must no longer be installed. ; Install the undamaged device according to your application. 4.2 Connecting the electrical system DANGER Electric voltage on the device Electric shock → Always install a protective earth first. → Check the protective earth. DANGER Incorrect insulation Risk of fatal injury from electric shock ; Before connecting the device, ensure that the supply voltage matches the operating voltage of the device. ; Only use cables designed for current according to the type plate. For determining the cross-section, follow the basic principles in accordance with EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a cross-section equal to or greater than the outer conductor crosssection. We recommend the use of 105°C cables. Ensure that the minimum cable cross-section is at least AWG26/0.13 mm². Earth wire contact resistance in accordance with EN 60335 Compliance with the impedance specifications in accordance with EN 60335 for the protective earth circuit must be verified in the end application. Depending on the installation situation, it may be necessary to install an additional protective earthing conductor via the additional protective earth connection point available on the device. 4.2.2 Idle current Because of the EMC filter integrated for compliance with EMC limits (interference emission and interference immunity), idle currents in the mains cable can be measured even when the motor is at a standstill and the mains voltage is switched on. → Use only cables that meet the specified installation requirements for voltage, current, insulation material, load etc. → Route cables such that they cannot be touched by any rotating parts. CAUTION Electrical voltage The fan is a built-in component and features no electrically isolating switch. → Only connect the fan to circuits that can be switched off with an all-pole separating switch. Translation of the original operating instructions → When working on the fan, you must switch off the installation/machine in which the fan is installed and secure it from being switched on again. CAUTION Electric shock Electric voltage on the metal part → Use the device only with the cable guard and terminal box provided for this purpose. NOTE Water penetration into leads or wires Water enters at the cable end on the customers side and can damage the device. → Make sure that the cable end is connected in a dry environment. ● The values lie in a range of typical < 50 mA. ● The effective power in this operating state (readiness for operation) is simultaneously at typical < 2 W. 4.2.3 Residual current operated device Only pulse-current sensitive and/or universal RCD protective devices (Type A or B) are permitted. Like frequency inverters, RCD protective devices cannot provide personal safety while operating the device. When switching on the power supply of the device, pulsed charge currents from the capacitors in the integrated EMC filter can lead to the RCD protective devices triggering without delay. We recommend residual current devices with a trigger threshold of 300 mA and delayed triggering (super-resistant, characteristic K). 4.2.4 Locked-rotor protection Due to the locked-rotor protection, the start-up current (LRA) is equal to or less than the nominal current (FLA). 4.3 Connection in terminal box 4.3.1 Preparing connection lines for the connection Connect the device only to circuits that can be switched off using an all-pole disconnecting switch.

Tightening torque, see chapter 3.1 Product drawing. 4.3.2 Connecting cables with terminals WARNING Terminals and connections have voltage even with a unit that is shut off Electric shock → Wait five minutes after disconnecting the voltage at all poles before opening the device. ; Remove the cap from the screwed cable gland. Remove the cap only in those places where cables are inserted. ; Insert the line(s) (not included in the standard scope of delivery) into the terminal box. ; Connect the lines to the corresponding terminals. Fig. 3: Cable routing for fans installed upright. Use a screwdriver to do so. During the connection work, ensure that no cables splice off. ; Insert the strands until they meet resistance. ; Seal the terminal box. 4.3.3 Cable routing No water may penetrate along the cable in the direction of the cable gland. Fans installed lying flat Translation of the original operating instructions Make sure that the cable is routed in the form of a loop (water trap). Fig. 2: Fan installed lying flat, cable routed as a water trap. Fans installed in upright position When routing the cable, ensure that the screwed cable glands are arranged at the bottom. The cables must always be routed downwards. Item no. 50441-5-9970 · Revision 79782 · Release 2013-11-15 · Page 7 / 11 ebm-papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co.

Switching off the device during operation: WARNING In event of a fault, the screwed cable gland is under electrical voltage Electric shock → Do not use metal cable glands for plastic terminal boxes. ; Screw the cable gland into the pre-cut thread using a screwdriver. When doing so, note the tightening torques, see chapter 3.1 Product drawing. ; Remove the plastic tab that falls off when the wire is pressed through into the terminal box. ; Switch on the device via the control input. ; Do not switch the motor (e.g. in cyclic operation) on and off via power supply. Switching off the device for maintenance work: ; Switch on the device via the control input. ; Do not switch the motor (e.g. in cyclic operation) on and off via power supply. ; Disconnect the device from the supply voltage. ; When disconnecting, be sure to disconnect the earth wire connection last. Fig. 4: Screwed cable gland opening 4.6 Checking the connections ; Make sure that the power is off (all phases). ; Secure it from being switched on again. ; Check the correct fit of the connection lines. ; Screw the terminal box cover closed again. Terminal box tightening torque, see chapter 3.1 Product drawing. ; Route the connecting cables in the terminal box so that the terminal box cover closes without resistance. ; Use all plug screws (the entire number). In doing so, insert the screws manually to avoid damage to the thread. ; Make sure that the terminal box is correctly closed and sealed and that all screws and screwed cable glands are properly tightened. Translation of the original operating instructions 4.7 Switch on device The device may only be switched on if it has been installed properly and in accordance with its intended use, including the required safety mechanisms and professional electrical connection. This also applies for devices which have already been equipped with plugs and terminals or similar connectors by the customer. WARNING Hot motor housing Fire hazard → Ensure that no combustible or flammable materials are located close to the fan. ; Inspect the device for visible external damage and the proper function of the protective features before switching it on. ; Check the air flow paths of the fan for foreign objects and remove any that are found. ; Apply the nominal voltage to the voltage supply. ; Start the device by changing the input signal.
