User instrucƟons

General
The FB fan is a radial fan for the evacua on of gases,
smoke and low weight par cles. The fan series
conforms to the protec on and safety regula ons in
the EU's Machinery Direc ve. The fans boast high
levels of quality and opera onal reliability. ALL fans
undergo inspec on and test opera on before leaving
the factory. However, risks can arise with any fan if:
- it is not installed, used or maintained by trained
personnel.
- it is not used in the intended manner.

Please note that electronic equipment is always

suscep ble to sta c electricity, high humidity,
high temperatures and line failures. The
equipment is supplied with high voltage. Use
the isola ng switch when carrying out service
work on the fan.
The fans are not intended for use in the
evacua on of explosive gases.
Fan installaƟon
Installa on may only be performed by authorised
personnel with regard to these installa on instruc
ons and applicable regula ons. Make sure that all
safety-related fan components sa sfy their func on.
The stability of the fan must always be ensured
during opera on. In order to achieve
op mum func on, it is important for the fan's duct
connec ons to be correctly executed. Incorrect
installa on can cause considerable deteriora on in
the fan's performance with regard to pressure drop
and sound levels.
In order to achieve op mum performance, we
recommend that the inlet connec on is a straight
duct that is 5 mes the diameter of the duct. If an
outlet duct is used, the same applies to this. If the
system requires a 90° bend in the outlet, it should
deviate in the impeller's direc on of rota on (see
below).
The fan is supplied with the outlet poin ng as illustrated
on page 1. If an alterna ve outlet air direc on is
required, the fan housing can be set in 8 possible posi
ons. If the direc on of outlet is changed, thread locking
must be applied to the screws. Take great care to
ensure that the impeller is not damaged when
reinstalling the fan housing.
In the event of outdoor installa on, a drainage hole
must be drilled at what becomes the lowest point in
the installed fan, according to the selected outlet
direc on.
In the case of professional installa on, too, fans can
produce harmful noise levels. It should also be
noted that specified noise data (see separate
product sheet) can be altered by the surroundings
or resonance in the opera ng loca on.
The fans are designed for installa on in systems
and therefore have no guard on the inlet. This
means that the fan must not be started un l it is
connected to a duct. The guard installed on the
outlet can be removed if you want to connect an
outlet duct (see accessories on page 8).

There is always a risk of clothes or loose items

being sucked into a free-blowing fan. This can
cause personal injury or damage to property.
Outdoor wall installaƟon
A flexible installa on that op mises

Makes it possible to choose outlet

condensa on problems, installa on
as illustrated is recommended. If
noise levels are the priority, it is
recommended to have the outlet
poin ng straight up, with drainage
in the fan housing (for drainage see
page 3).
Note! The fan bracket must be
made on site.
Outdoor roof installaƟon
A low-level, sideways outlet
direc on is suitable in the event of
condensa on problems.
Note! The base must be made on
site due to possible snow.
An installa on that is used when
low noise levels are priori sed.
The disadvantage of this
arrangement is that the fan is
located high up if the extract air
duct is high.

The one phase motor is equipped with double

capacitors. When the fan is not opera ng in full
running speed, i.e. during the start-up and shut down
process, the motor produces a mechanical sound,
deriving from the switch between the two capacitors.
This is a normal sound and it is not harmful for the
motor.
