WARNINGS
Any work including transport, installation, inspection, maintenance, ser-
vice spares replacement, repair and fi nal end of life disposal must be car-
ried out by competent persons and supervised by competent executive.
Fan equipment should be electrically isolated and locked out before any
work started.
This fan must not be used in hazardous area.
The Installer, User is responsible for ensuring that the fan is installed,
operated and serviced by qualifi ed personnel, acting in accordance with
all safety precautions applicable and as required by law, regulations and
standards in the country applicable.
Safety protective clothing, equipment, hearing protection, and 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 specifi c
installation.
This instruction manual is subject to modifi cations due to further technical
developments of the fan described, images and drawings may be simplifi ed
representations. Due to improvements and modifi cations the fan operated
may differ from the representations. We reserve the right to vary the prod-
uct 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 fan for inspection, maintenance, 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 fi rst.
If the fan is used to extract air from premises where a boiler or other com-
bustion appliance is installed, make sure that the room has suffi cient air
intakes to ensure adequate combustion.
The following risks have been identifi ed for consideration:
• Installation: incorrect installation or function represents a risk to safety.
• Rotational speed: identifi ed on fan name plate and motor. Never exceed
this speed.
• Rotation of impeller: identifi ed on fan with direction arrows. Do not run
impeller in reverse.
• Working temperature: identifi ed 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, ef-
fective connection to earth, and all checked regularly every 6 months.
• Protection devices: These should always be operational and never dis-
connected. However, Emergency ventilation fan and motors are suitable
for S1 duty cycle, and one off emergency smoke operation no motor pro-
tection devices must stop this. The fan motor power supply must be de-
signed to accommodate any motor protection devices, where applicable,
for S1 duty cycle and 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
fi re area. Power supply should be via a protected source to enable fan to
run under emergency fi re smoke conditions, Direct on line.
• Emergency ventilation fans, can be dual purpose, or dedicated Emer-
gency operation. If fan is not operated for long periods then fan should
6
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, es-
pecially water, sand, dust, vibration and excessive temperature. The pack-
aging 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 tem-
porary, during lifting, positioning, storage or permanent, this must be a fl at
surface to avoid distortion of fan casing or fan assembly.
STORAGE
Storage must be in a safe, fl at, controlled environment to prevent dam-
age, especially from water, sand, dust, moisture, corrosion, temperature.
Recommend that duct connections (infl ow and outfl ow) are closed to avoid
dust/debris entering the equipment.
These data may also apply to an installed fan, which is not put into opera-
tion 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 cor-
rect for application. Location for installation is solid, level, fl at and suitable
for mounting fan assembly.
Fan should be located in position, and assembled with any accessory equip-
ment supplied, on relevant mounting, anti-vibration mountings, safety pro-
tection guards, on a solid level base to avoid any distortion and misalign-
ment 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 fl ow, especially on inlet to fan.
START UP
• Check fan equipment name plate data is appropriate to the location electri-
cal supply, especially Voltage, Frequency, Phase, Amps, speed are correct.
• Check earth connections, electrical terminations and terminal box lid,
with any seals, if fi tted, 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 fi tted, 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 airfl ow direction is correct, check current
does not exceed fan equipment nameplate data.
• After two hours of operation, check that all fi xings are tight and adjust
if necessary.
This appliance is considered to be suitable for use in countries
having a warm damp equable climate as specifi ed in IEC 60721-
2-1. It may also be used in other countries.
