tools may be required
All fans are designed and manufactured in accordance with EC
Directive. Safety guard accessories are available from S&P if
required due to specific installation.
This instruction manual is subject to modifications due to further
technical developments of the fan described, images and
drawings
may
be
simplified
improvements and modifications the fan operated may differ from
the representations. We reserve the right to vary the product
without prior notice.
Working ambient temperature for fan equipment should not be
exceeded, typically this will be within -20°C to +40°C, unless
stated otherwise.
Allow
safe
access
to
replacement of parts, cleaning / housekeeping.
The user is responsible for effective maintenance, replacement of
parts, cleaning, especially where dust may form inside the fan.
Do not remove safety protection guards or open access doors
when the fan is in operation.
If the fan is used in atmospheres with more than 95% Relative
Humidity (RH), consult the S&P Technical Service first.
If the fan is used to extract air from premises where a boiler or
other combustion appliance is installed, make sure that the room
has sufficient air intakes to ensure adequate combustion.
The following risks have been identified for consideration:
Installation: incorrect installation or function represents a risk to
safety.
Rotational speed: identified on fan name plate and motor. Never
exceed this speed.
Rotation of impeller: identified on fan with direction arrows. Do not
run impeller in reverse.
Working temperature: identified on fan nameplate and motor.
Never exceed this range.
Foreign bodies: ensure no risk from debris, or material that could
be drawn into fan.
Electrical risks: motor name plate data should never be
exceeded, effective connection to earth, and all checked regularly
every 6 months.
Protection devices: These should always be operational and
never disconnected. However, Emergency ventilation fan and
motors are suitable for S1 duty cycle, and one off emergency
smoke operation no motor protection devices must stop this. The
fan motor power supply must be designed to accommodate any
motor protection devices, where applicable, for S1 duty cycle and

representations.
fan
for
inspection,
maintenance,
these must be disabled or by-passed in event of one off
emergency smoke operation. Power supply cables to fan motor
must be suitable for temperature and time stated when installed
in potential fire area. Power supply should be via a protected
source to enable fan to run under emergency fire smoke
conditions, Direct on line.
Emergency ventilation fans, can be dual purpose, or dedicated
Emergency operation. If fan is not operated for long periods then
fan should be run as prescribed by local regulations, or as
minimum 15 minutes each month, to ensure safe operation
Transport, lifting
Fan equipment and packaging are protected from adverse
atmosphere, especially water, sand, dust, vibration and excessive
temperature. The packaging used for this fan has been designed
to support normal transporting conditions.
The fan must always be transported in its original packaging. Do
not accept delivery if the fan is not in its original packaging or
shows clear signs of having been damaged.
Do not place heavy weights on the packaging and avoid impact
damage.
Any lifting equipment must be safe and of suitable capacity for
weight and size. Special attention may be required to ensure fan
assembly does not distort or tilt as weight distribution may vary.
When Fan equipment is carefully lowered or placed on a surface,
be it temporary, during lifting, positioning, storage or permanent,
this must be a flat surface to avoid distortion of fan casing or fan
assembly.
Storage
Storage must be in a safe, flat, controlled environment to prevent
damage, especially from water, sand, dust, moisture, corrosion,
temperature. Recommend that duct connections (inflow and
outflow) are closed to avoid dust/debris entering the equipment.
These data may also apply to an installed fan, which is not put
Due
to
into operation for extended period.
Installation
Fan equipment should be electrically isolated and locked out
before any work started.
Before any installation work is started, ensure that fan equipment
is correct for application. Location for installation is solid, level,
flat and suitable for mounting fan assembly.
Fan should be located in position, and assembled with any
accessory equipment supplied, on relevant mounting, anti-
vibration mountings, safety protection guards, on a solid level
base to avoid any distortion and misalignment and with correct air
direction as shown on nameplate. Fan should then be leveled on
any anti-vibration mountings. Flexible connectors must be taught
to ensure no disruption to air flow, especially on inlet to fan.
Start up
Check fan equipment name plate data is appropriate to the
location electrical supply, especially Voltage, Frequency, Phase,
Amps, speed are correct.
Check earth connections, electrical terminations and terminal box
lid, with any seals, if fitted, are correct.
In compliance with Machine Directive 89/392/EU, if the fan is
accessible to operators and is a health and safety risk, adequate
protection must be fitted, information for safety equipment,
including guards, can be found in S&P accessories catalogue.
Check all rotating parts have free, unobstructed movement.
Check there are no foreign bodies inside the fan or that can be
drawn into, or fall into fan.
Check the structure is complete and has no damage.
Check installation and area is safe and energise fan and start
motor. Check that the impeller and airflow direction is correct,
check current does not exceed fan equipment nameplate data.
After two hours of operation, check that all fixings are tight and
adjust if necessary.
Electric motors
For fans with S&P sourced/sub-supplier motors, the motor
instructions will be included with the fan equipment for extra
