3 Proper use

The fans are intended for installation in ventilation systems!

The fans of the series KVB/F are ready-to-use products and are used as components for ventilation applian-
ces, machines and systems. With these fans, air can be sucked out, inserted or also conveyed. As a standard,
the fans are supplied with a thermal motor protection (PTC).

The fans can be installed both in channel systems and also with free suction via an admission nozzle and a
suction-side contact protection grid. Free blow-out via a contact protection grid is also possible following prior
consideration during design.

The fans may not be used in areas in which an explosion-capable atmosphere can be found. The fans are not
suited for suction of dusty or aggressive media or media with such a content of dust that operation of the fan
could be impaired by accumulation on the blades and on the fan housing.

• The maximum admissible operating data on the name plate apply to an air density ρ =1.2 kg/m³
(See level)and a maximum air humidity of 80 %. The fans are suited for an ambient temperature of
no more than 55 °C (pay attention to information on name plate). The temperature of the material
conveyed may not exceed 55 °C or fall below –20 °C.
• The maximum admissible temperatures stated above can be increased to an ambient temperature of
60 °C, 80 °C or even up to 100 °C (pay attention to precise information on name plate) by use of ISO H
motors. The temperature of the material conveyed may then not exceed 100 °C or fall below –20 °C.
• With the use of specific motors (pay attention to precise information on name plate), the fans can also
be used up to a maximum air humidity of 95 %.
• The motors cannot be voltage-controlled. Speed regulation is only possible via a customary frequency
inverter, e.g. Systemair FRQ or FXDM.

4 Personnel

4.1 Qualification

The electrical connections of the fans may only be carried out by trained electricians.

4.2 Personal protective equipment

Protective working gloves, protective working shoes and goggles for assembly, installation, maintenance and
control work are part of the personal protective equipment for assembly, maintenance and repair personnel.

11 Commissioning

DANGER! Risk of injury and risk of damage to the fan. Before commissioning, read the operating
instructions carefully and check the following:
• positioning of the device (fitting, possible deformations)
• assembly residue and foreign bodies removed from fan area and connected channel
• safety devices fitted
• leakage test carried out
• correct performance and correct connection to the electrical installation
• correspondence of the connection data with the information on the name plate

DANGER! Risk of injuries to the eyes by residue or dust being swirled out when checking the
direction of rotation. When checking the direction of rotation of the rotor, wear
protective goggles!

DANGER! Live wires and connections!

Risk of injuries from electric current!
Have all electrical work done by a trained electrician only!
• If the direction of rotation is wrong, interchange two phases in order to set the correct direction of
rotation.
• As soon as you have put the fan into operation, check flawless functioning (free movement of the
rotor, measurement of the current consumption, check for possible vibrations and noises).

16
 Smoke and heat exhaust fans

NOTE Risk of damage to the fan!

If the fan is operated outside the characteristic stated, there is the risk of unstable running
and inadmissible vibrations, even possibly its destruction.
Do not operate the fan outside the characteristic stated.

• Do not operate the fan outside the characteristic stated. This can happen in the case of a bad flow
or excessively high resistance in the system. The fan must run on its prescribed operating point.
• Fill in the attached commissioning record sheet and present it in the event of a warranty claim.

12 Operation
When operating the fan, pay attention to the operating instructions from the motor manufacturer.
Regularly check the flawless functioning of the fan (free movement of the rotor, measurement of the current
consumption, check for possible vibrations and noises).

12.1 Speed-controlled fan operation

General:
Fans can be speed-controlled to reach the required operation point of the installation and user requirements.

Speed-control, maximum speed:

The speed specified on the name plate must not be exceeded.

WARNING! Risks due to resonance frequencies!

Avoid continuous fan operation at speeds with increased oscillation values. These speeds must be skipped
or deactivated during operation. Make sure that these stages will be passed quickly during start-up to avo-
id transient oscillation and exceeding of the admissing oscillation of the resonance frequency. A permanent
oscillation monitoring is recommended to ensure a safe and continuous fan operation.

Take a close look on oscillation damages during fan inspection and maintenance. It is recommended to
change or increase the maintenance cycle to apply the operating conditions during normal operation speed.
In these cases, it is usual to start with short maintenance rates after commissioning. If no damages occur, the
rates can be changed stepwise to meet the specified maintenance rates from the operating instructions. This
decision has to be made by the installation owner.

Commissioning of speed-controlled fans

It is necessary to check out the fan for oscillations at all normal operation speeds during commissioning.
Oscillations on housing and bearing areas have to be determined and evaluated in accordance with DIN ISO
14694 depending on motor power and positioning. The admissible oscillation velocities can be requested
from Systemair.

Measurable oscillation velocities depend e.g. on following factors:

• positioning
• bottom section/foundation state
• flow conditions

The operation point of the fan as well as used external devices and accessories also influence the running
characteristics. Thus, an evaluation is only possible when the machine is installed for the proper operation.
This evaluation must be done by trained personnel!

Speed-control, special regulations

• Changing of the speed causes additional loads on the fan components.
• Speed changing during normal regulation must not exceed the admissible motor temperature and the
bearing load.
• Spin-up time should be at least 60 seconds.

AX - 12.2012 17
 Smoke and heat exhaust fans

• The service life of fans can be extended by quick passing of the resonance frequencies.
• Speed changings should be at max. 16,7 U/sec (1,75 rad/sec) (exception: passing of the resonance fre-
quencies).
• The operating instructions of the control device manufacturer must be observed.
• Comply with EMC Directive 2004/108/EG (1st March 2005).

General information:
• The fan and the frequency inverter should be installed as near as possible to one another.
• Use shielded and coated cables.
• All components (fan, frequency inverter and motor) should be earthed.
• The use of all-pole sinusoidal filters is recommended.

13 Maintenance and upkeep

DANGER! Live wires and connections!

Risk of injuries from electric current!
Have all electrical work done by a trained electrician only!

Periodically check the following according to official requirements, however at least once a year (the fist four
points only with the fan switched off!):
• screw connections, specifically the rotor fitting
• is there dirt in the fan wheel? If so, remove it.
• have accumulations formed on the rotor? If so, remove them.
• function of the safety components
• function of the control elements
• coil resistance
• operating current
• vibrations which may occur
• noises which may occur in the bearings of the electric motor
• Motors with extended nipples needs to be re-greased (grease type please take from motor name tag
or IMO from the motor manufacture) according to manufacturers‘ instructions.
Check the function of the system and controls (all poles) according to the system maintenance book at least
every 3 months, if not required more often.
Make the checks of the first four points with the fan switched off.
The parameters of the other points may not deviate from the initial figures measured in installation.
If one of the parameters deviates from the initial figures, replace the motor or the fan wheel or have them
repaired by the manufacturer.
In the event of unauthorised interventions, warranty becomes ineffective.
Maintain the electric motor according to the enclosed instructions from the manufacturer.
Use the enclosed maintenance record.

NOTE Risk of damage to the fan by cleaning with high pressure devices.
Only clean the fan manually, with a vacuum cleaner or with compressed air!

NOTE Risk of damage to the fan!

Systemair assumes no liability for damage caused by using outside parts.

Only use original Systemair spare parts.

14 Fault table, remedying faults

DANGER! Live wires and connections!

Risk of injuries from electric current!
Have all electrical work done by a trained electrician only!

DANGER! Risk of injuries to the eyes by residue or dust being swirled out when checking the
direction of rotation. When checking the direction of rotation of the rotor, wear
protective goggles!

Fault Remedy

Check energy supply and motor protection. If in order, check motor. In

Fan does not start
motors with separated coils, check both speeds.

Check direction of rotation. If necessary, change direction of rotation of

Volume flow too low motor by interchanging two phases. Check whether the intake area is
blocked. Check working point and version of the system.

Compare the motor data. If in order, check energy supply and motor
Motor protection is triggered (short circuit, bearing damage, rotor blocked or grinding), contact after-
sales service.

As a matter of principle: noise development in a fan greatly depends on

the installation situation and the operating conditions. For this reason, no
generally valid noise data can be given, they always relate to the measu-
red conditions. They can be seen from our data sheets.
Possible source of fault:
Abnormal noises occur
• bearing damage on the motor, rotor blocked or grinding
• rotor imbalanced or damaged
• rotor runs in the breakdown area
• loose components.
Have the motor or possibly the entire fan repaired.

Check working point and version of the system. If the actual total resis-
tance of the system is higher than planned, this may result in the fan
working in the breakdown area for some types.
Vibrations
Contact the manufacturer‘s after-sales service.
Damage or dust accumulations on the rotor.
Check welding seams on the housing.

If in doubt, get in touch with the manufacturer‘s after-sales service.
