The Multiair fan is designed so that
it can be installed outdoors. If the
fan is delivered with a flow or pres-
sure control, the pressure transmit-
ter must be mounted on a solid
surface without any vibration.
Installation of the pipes
The conveying performance of a
pneumatic conveying system is
highly dependent on the layout of
the piping. It is therefore important
to follow the layout that has been
designed for the pipe system for
the installation in question. Remem-
ber also that the joints of the pipe
system must be tight as leaks will
reduce the conveying performance
Maintenance
Lubrication
The motor bearings are lubricated
at the factory and require no ad-
ditional lubrication. The fan rotor
is mounted directly on the motor
shaft; there are therefore no
bearings in the fan itself.
Cleaning
Make sure that there is always an
unobstructed flow of cooling air to
the Multiair fan motor. Clean the
grid by the cool air intake to the
motor for any impurities.
Start/stop
Using the electrical equipment and
control panel it is possible to fully
regulate the fan speed. It is there-
fore possible to adjust the Multiair
fan performance to fit precisely the
application concerned.
The adjustment can either be done
manually or it can be done auto-
matically by means of a pressure
transmitter (optional).
To achieve energy savings it is im-
portant not to run at higher speeds
than what is necessary to solve the
task at hand. Operating the fan at
excessive speeds/output could
cause damage to the material
being conveyed.
The electrical equipment
should be opened only by
qualified or trained per-
sons.
Remote Start/Stop
If remote start and stop function is
required Kongskilde recommends
to follow this procedure:
1) Please refer to the electrical
schematics for the Multiair in
question.
2) Remote start: Using a potential
free set of contacts (external),
normally open (NO) the blower
+24VDC for m X4.5 is con-
nected together with X4.6 which
is the digital input used for the
start function pulse. The poten-
tial fee set of contacts just have
for be pulsed for the Multiair to
start. DIP Switch 3 have to be
on position ON to activate the
Remote start.
3) Remote stop: Using a potential
free set of contacts (external),
normally closed (NC) the blow-
ers +24VDC from X4.3 is con-
nected together with X4.4. The
potential free set of contacts
will now needed to be pulsed
(opened) for the Multiair blower
to stop. DIP Switch 5 have to be
on position ON to activate the
Remote start.
Potential free status
signals
The Multiair blower controls are
equipped with 2 potential free set
of contacts which enables external
monitoring of the blowers running
status. See the electrical schemat-
ics for the Multiair blower in ques-
tion.
Run signal: Potential free, nor-
mally open (NO) contacts can be
found on terminal X3.3, X3.4 (Max
24VDC).
Fault signal: Potential free, nor-
mally closed (NC) contacts can be
found on terminal X3.5, X3.6 (max
24VDC).
Manual operation or
automatic operation
(PID)
Select the desired operating mode
using the DIP switch 1 marked with
"OFF:PID ON:MANUEL" (see pic-
ture 1 /page 15), which is located
inside the Multiair fan on the motor
control box (see picture 2/page 15).
If the system is connected to flow
or pressure control equipment, set
the DIP switch 1 in position "OFF:
PID for automatic control of perfor-
mance in relation to an adjustable
set-point.
If there is no pressure transmitter
connected, set the DIP switch 1 in
position "ON: MANUEL" for manual
operation.
It is usually only necessary to choo-
se between manual and automatic
operation when the Multiair fan is
started up the first time, as this set-
ting is application specific.
Manual Operation
The DIP switch 1 (see picture 1/
page 15) is set to "OM:MANUEL"
for manual operation.
Starting the equipment: Press the
start button (see picture 3/page 15).
When the equipment is in operation
a green operation lamp lights up
(see picture 3/page 15).
Stopping the equipment: Press
the stop button (see picture 3/page
15). The light in the green operation
lamp goes out.
Increase fan performance
(speed):
Press the plus (+) button (see pic-
ture 3/page 15) The button provides
