GENERAL INFORMATION
General
These Installation Instructions contain important information to enable the safe and proper installation, transport,
commissioning, maintenance and dismounting of Novy fans. The product has been manufactured according to the state
of the art. Nevertheless, hazards may arise that could endanger persons and cause damage to property if the following
safety and warning directions in these instructions are not observed. The product shall only be taken into service after the
Installation Instructions and the Safety Notes have been read and understood. Keep these instructions in a location where
they are accessible to all users at all times. If the equipment is passed on to a third party, the Installation instructions must
always be handed over with it.
Novy fans are subject to continual quality control, and comply with the regulations valid at the time of dispatch. Because
the products are being constantly developed, we reserve the right to make changes to the products at any time and
without prior notice. We accept no liability for the correctness and completeness of these Installation Instructions. The
warranty only applies to the delivered configuration. We accept no claims under guarantee or warranty, and no liability for
injury to persons or damage to property arising from incorrect installation, improper use, and/or inappropriate handling.
Safety Notes
The Novy fan is a component in terms of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (partial machine). The product is not a
ready-for-use machine as defined by the Machinery Directive. It is intended exclusively for installation in a machine or in
ventilation equipment and installations or for combination with other components to form a machine or installation. The
product may be commissioned only if it is integrated into the machine/system
for which it is intended, and if that machine/system fully complies with the EC Machinery Directive. Never use a Novy
fan if it is not in good technical order and condition! Check the product for visible defects, for example cracks in the
housing, missing rivets, screws and covers, and any other application relevant defects! Only use the product within the
performance range specified in the technical data and on the type plate! Protection against contact, protection against
being sucked in, and safety distances must comply with DIN EN 294 and DIN 24167-
1 (by installing protective grids or sufficiently long tubes)! Generally prescribed electrical and mechanical protection
devices are to be provided by the client! Electrical connections and repairs may only be carried out by qualified electricians!
Before carrying out any installation or maintenance work, isolate unit from the mains supply! The product may only be
operated by personnel with limited physical, sensory or mental capacities if they are supervised or have been instructed
by a responsible person. Children must be kept away from the product.
Transport and storage
Transport and storage may only be carried out by specialist personnel according to the Installation Instructions and the
relevant, valid regulations. Check that the delivery is as specified on the delivery note; make sure it is complete and
correct, and check for any damage. Any missing quantities or damage incurred during transport must be confirmed by
the carrier in writing. No liability is accepted if this condition is not observed.
Transport the equipment in the original packaging with suitable lifting gear, or on the transport equipment indicated. Avoid
damage to or deformation of the housing. The product must be stored in a dry area and protected from the weather in
the original packaging. Storage temperature range: –10°C to +40°C. Avoid severe temperature fluctuations. If the unit has
been stored for over a year, check by hand that the fan turns freely.
Installation
Installation work must be carried out by specialist personnel in accordance with the Installation Instructions and the
relevant, valid regulations and standards. The Safety Notes given above must be observed! Disconnect the product
completely (all poles) from the mains before installing it, and before connecting or disconnecting plugs. Use an installation-
sided shut-off device with a contact gap of 3.0 mm min. Make sure that the product cannot be switched back on again.
The mounting surface must be horizontal and level. Consider allowable roof load. Make certain there is sufficient sealing
between roof fan and roof socket. For mounting, we recommend using cushioned clamps to reduce noise transmission
into the ducting system! Lay cables and lines so that they cannot be damaged and no one can trip over them. After
installation, moving parts must no longer be accessible. Make the electrical connections to the unit according to the
circuit diagram! Before commissioning, make sure that all
gaskets and seals in the plug-in connections are correctly fitted and undamaged in order to prevent fluids and foreign
matter getting into the product. Information signs must not be changed or removed! Always operate the fan with the flow
in the correct direction (see the marking on the unit)! Install the unit so that it is accessible for maintenance and cleaning,
and can be readily removed! Applies for versions with led out thermal contact: No warranty in case of a not connected
Thermal Contact. Damages caused by overheating will not be considered.
Operating Conditions
Do not operate Novy fans in a potentially explosive atmosphere! Do not operate fans with a frequency converter.
The maximum ambient temperature on the type plate must not be exceeded. Verify that the mains voltage corresponds to
the voltage on the type plate. Make sure to guarantee a sufficient ventilation of the room when the kitchen hood is used
simultaneously with gas or other fuel operated devices.
Maintenance
Novy fans are maintenance free except for cleaning at the recommended intervals. Make sure that no connections or
