19 Cleaning, maintenance
According to 1999/92/EC the workplace and
●
●
work equipment has to be maintained with due
regard for safety. The points listed in EN 60079-
17 must be taken into account and performed.
●
The intervals should be determined by the operating
company in accordance with EN 60079-17 and may
be extended if a sufficient maintenance concept is
used – frequency depending on ambient conditions
and anticipated restrictions. The maintenance
intervals are to be shortened in case of dust or a
corrosive atmosphere.

Danger of electric shock.
● Prior to accessing the connection terminals

disconnect all supply circuits.
● Secure against being switched back on, check
that no voltage is present.
●
● Earth and connect the EARTH with active parts
which are to be short-circuited.
● Cover or block off neighbouring live parts.
●
● Attach a clearly visible warning sign.
Ensure that there is no explosive atmosphere
and/or dust layers..

using the lines.
���������������� Chapter 3)
Regularly clean fan at appropriate intervals with
●
a damp cloth, especially after long periods out of
service. Clean fan at shorter intervals if you expect
layers of dust to accumulate on the impeller and
other parts of the fan.
����������������� Chapter 3)
The fan should be regularly checked and main-
tained. In particular, ensure:
● unimpaired flow in the air channel.
● the effectiveness of the protective grilles.
● compliance with the permitted temperatures.
● quiet bearings. Bearing life of 40 000 hours,
depending on application.
● cables are secure in the terminal box.
● potential damage to terminal box, cable
screw-connections, sealing plugs and cables.
● secure routing of cables.
During regular safety checks (maintenance interval),
undertake a complete check in accordance with the
test schedules in Chapters 16, 17 and 18.
This involves checking the function of safety compo-
nents, air gap, power consumption, bearing noise,
damage and disproportional vibration (e.g. impeller
imbalance). Remove dirt and foreign particles.
