Connection and Start up

When unpacking the unit, pay attention to take the unit only from the plate.

Check the device for transport damage, in case any damage is identified, the
unit must not be installed.
The user is the sole responsible of the correct use of the unit in the final
application.

Use only cables that meet the specified installation requirements for voltage,
current, insulation material, load, etc…
Refer to the diagram below for connection details

Before connecting the device, ensure that the power supply voltage matches
the operating voltage of the device (refer to the rated data)
When fan motor is powered up, verify the correct direction of the fan
blade/wheel and make sure it cannot touch any fixed part.
When working on the fan, the operator must switch off the machine in which
the fan is installed and secure it from being switch on again.

Checking the connection.

Make sure the power is off before operating on the unit, check the correct fit
of the cables, switch on the unit and verify neither the cable nor the fan blade
are touching fixing parts.

 4. Installation

a. The system manufacturer or the machine builder is responsible that the

inherent installation and security information are harmonized with the valid
standards .
b. Do not install fan on unstable basis.
c. To ensure power supply, see motor label
d. Before connecting motor speed to the power supply, check the connection
diagram on the unit
e. Secure connection cable to the power supply
f. With power supply on, check that motor is running and blowers move freely.
g. The unit is balanced with G 6,3 grade. In order to avoid unbalancing, pay
attention when fixing it into the final application.
h. During the unpacking, never lift the fan deck/blower from the fans/wheels or
the shaft, this may result in unbalancing the unit.
i. Do not make any modification, addition or conversion to the device without
prior approval from Elco, this may modify the performance in accordance to
ErP 2013/15

5. Putting into operation

Check that installation and electrically connection are properly completed, safety equipment is in place
and motor protection device is in function before connecting the product to the supply line.

Check that the fan blade/wheel can rotate freely once the unit is mounted and with the right sense of
rotation. Only if all potentially dangerous conditions are excluded, the fan can be put into operation!
Switch on the power supply and check direction of rotation and verify the smooth running.
