Operation
Read up on the command equipment needed for starting, stopping, emergency stops or resetting after an emergency stop. Provide these in accordance with the planning documents and relevant regulations (EN 60204-1, EN 14118, EN 14119, EN 14120).
Regularly check that guards are fully functional. Ensure that they are working properly.
Do not store flammable objects in the vicinity of the installation site. Note the fire prevention requirements.
Do not cover the blower during operation. There is a danger of fire.
Risk of skin burns in the vicinity of the blower caused by hot air medium, hot motor or hot housing. There is a danger to life near high-temperature blowers with airstream temperatures of up to 150 °C.
Before working on the centrifugal blower wait until it (motor, housing) has cooled sufficiently and the air medium has mixed with cold air and cooled to below 60 °C. The blower should then only be approached close up and then only be touched if you are certain that it has cooled down. This applies in particular to high-temperature blowers.
Overheating and damage to units resulting from stopping at temperatures >60 °C
In no circumstances should you stop the blower before the air medium inside it has reached a temperature of <60 °C. This will protect the motor from damage caused by overheating. If this temperature cannot be guaranteed, external cooling systems must be used. If the temperature inside the blower increases while it is idle, the operator must wait for the temperature to fall to below 60 °C before restarting.
