(1) About transportation and mounting

• Transport the product using a correct method that corresponds to the product weight. Failure to do so may cause injuries.
• Do not stack blowers and drivers three or more stages.
• Install blower using the main frame mounting feet. Do not install directly on air inlet or outlet.
• Install driver using the main frame mounting feet. Do not mount in any direction other than that indicated in drawings.
• Installation should be made on a structure that can withstand the product weight and vibration.
• Do not operate with a damaged blower or driver installed.
• Do not hold cover or lead wire during active operation. Doing so may result in damage.
• Do not step on or place objects on the product.
• Direction of the blower duct (exhaustion and suction) must conform to the specified requirements.
• If the blower is installed without ducting on the inlet and outlet, directly used in ambient air, an appropriate protection frame or screen must be applied to the inlet and outlet to ensure safety.
• Prevent conductive objects such as screws and metal pieces and flammable objects such as oil as well as other foreign objects that can disturb the rotation of the blower from entering the inside of the blower and driver.
• As the blower and driver are precision instruments, do not drop or apply unreasonable force.
• Please use under the environmental conditions given below. Usage under other environmental conditions may lead to malfunction.
  • Ambient Temperature: 0 deg.C to +50 deg.C (no freezing)
  • Ambient Humidity: 5 ~ 80 % RH (no condensation)
  • Storage Temperature: -20 deg.C to +65 deg.C
  • Other conditions: To be used indoors. No corrosive gases, flammable gases, oil mist, powder, or dust.
  • Altitude above sea level: 1000 m or lower.
  • Vibration: Do not expose to continuous vibration or excessive shock.
• Do not use in a closed area. Use in a well-ventilated area.

(2) About wiring

• Connect load (ACL) and neutral (ACN) of the AC power supply input correctly.
• Both of the blower and the driver should be connected to FG terminal with ground connection(C or more).
• Do not apply AC power to the FG terminal.
• In order to protect the Blower, connect a Current Overload Protection device (a breaker or an electromagnetic switch) of 20 A to the device.
• Do not conduct an insulation resistance test or a dielectric strength voltage test.

(3) About trial operations

• Consider how to prevent malfunction of the blower and driver from affecting other devices.

(4) About usage

• The driver and blower, should be used at the specified combination. Failure to do so may result in fire.
• Do not apply AC power while a control input signal is being provided. Doing so will cause the blower to restart suddenly.
• Do not start/stop blower using the braker or the electromagnetic switch of the AC power supply. Always precede start/stop with a control input signal.
• Reduce the effects of electromagnetic disturbance by placing a noise filter near the blower.
• In using the blower in state of almost closed outlet's condition, the air temperature from the outlet rises. Please check the temperature and use within its specification.
• In normal operation, sometimes the temperature of the motor's surface rises over 70 deg.C.
  Please attach the motor to the appropriate place so as not to be affected by other device's heat.
  Please use in a place with good ventilation. Do not touch the motor and the driver during the operation of the blower and just after operating.
• In using without connecting duct, the high frequency noise is occasionally made from the inlet by its resonance. In this case, please use a hose for connecting to the duct.
• For the inlet, do not use in alomost closing consition.
• Please be sucked only air.
• When the air of relative humidity of 100% is sucked, condensation occasionally appears due to change of the temperature. There is a possibility that the drops are leaked out by sucking the air. The part of the motor with dewing may lead to electric leakage or burnout. Repeating condensation may cause getting rusty on the component materials. In some cases, it may shorten the blower's duration.

(5) Measures in case of abnormality

• Install an emergency stop device so that the machinery, equipment is not in danger blower can also fail.
• If the blower's protection device is activated, after making sure the cause of its error has been got rid of, turn on the power again.

• Perform the contents below at least once a year.
• Check for abnormalities (such as abnormal noise) while the device is in a running state.
• If dust is attached to the vent hole, air inlet, or Driver cover, remove it.
• The temperature of each part has risen just after the operation.
  Please touch the blower after checking temperature has fallen sufficiently so as not to get burned.

(7) About storage

• The storage period should not exceed 6 months.
• The packaged Blower should be stored indoor in more less stable temperature and dry places.
• For the installed blower, please be careful not to be affected by the water from the outside, oil, dust, vibration or heat.

(8) About disposal

• Please treat as general industrial waste.

(9) Operating Precautions
