• The 5 electrical safety rules must be observed!
• Opening of motor is prohibited. Loosening the screws will void the warranty!
– Protection class of the device when complete open is IP00! It is possible to touch hazardous
voltages directly.
– Through use of capacitors, danger of death exists even after switching off the device!
– When the motor runs independently due to air flowing through or if it continues to run down after
being turned off, dangerous voltages of over 50 V can arise on the motor internal connections
through operation of the generator.
• The motor is a built-in device and therefore only protected by basic insulation.
• The safe isolation from the supply must be checked using a two-pole voltage detector.
• Even after disconnecting the mains voltage, life-threatening charges can appear between the
protective ground “PE” and the voltage supply.
• The protective earth is conducting high discharge currents (dependent on the switching frequency,
current-source voltage and motor capacity). Earthing in compliance with EN specifications shall
therefore be observed even for testing and trial conditions (EN 50 178, Art. 5.2.11). Without
earthing, dangerous voltages can be present on the motor housing.
• Maintenance work may only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
Attention, automatic restart!

3 Product overview
3.1 Area of application/Notes on use
The fans / motors are not ready-for-use products, but conceived as components for ventilation
systems (type designation see rating plate).
The fans may not be operated until they are installed in line with their intended use. The supplied and
certified guard grille of ZIEHL-ABEGG fans is designed in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13857 Table 4
(from the age of 14 up). In the event of deviations, further structural protective measures must be
taken for safe operation.

• Any use below -10 °C is dependent on not being subjected to unusual, sudden or mechanical loads
or stresses on the material (see minimal permissible ambient temperature).
• Corrosion is possible at the cutting edges on sendzimir galvanised parts.

Attention!
If the motor/fan is used in applications where a ignitable atmosphere can form in the event of a fault,
e.g. due to leakage, the user must assess the risks of ignition and take appropriate precautions to
prevent ignition.

3.4 Temperature management

The service life of devices with power electronics is decisively dependent on the ambient temper-
atures. The longer electronic components are exposed to high ambient temperatures, the faster the
deterioration and the more probable the failures.
The power electronics protects itself against excessive temperatures by active temperature manage-
ment (power reduction).
However, this cannot provide complete protection in all circumstances. Observe the rated data -

4.1 General notes

Attention!
• Mounting is only to be undertaken by trained service personnel. The system manufacturer or the
machine builder and/or the user is responsible that the inherent installation and security information
are harmonized with the valid standard and guidelines (EN ISO12100 / 13857).
• Check the fan for damage, e.g. cracks, dents or damage to the electric cables, before assembly.
Start-up is not allowed in the case of transport damage!
• Wear safety clothing / shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves when handling!
• At a weight greater than 25 kg for men / 10 kg for women, the fan should be lifted out by two persons
(according to REFA). The values may differ from country to country.
• If necessary, lift the fan out of the packing with a hoisting unit.
• The fan is to be used exclusively as a built-in component.
• The custom designs must suit the prevailing conditions.
• Take into account easy access for cleaning and maintaining the fan.
• Before installing the fan, make sure the safety distances are maintained compliant with EN ISO
13857 or in household equipment according to EN 60335.
– If the mounting height (danger area) above the reference plane is greater than or equal to
2700 mm and is not reduced by auxiliary means such as chairs, ladders, working platforms or
floor space on vehicles, a guard grille is not necessary on the fan.
– If the fan is located in danger zone, then the manufacturer or operator shall ensure that hazards
shall be prevented by appropriare protective constuctions which meet the requirements to EN ISO
13857.
• Tighten the fastenings with the specified torques.
• Drilling chips, screws and other foreign bodies must not be located inside the device! Before the first
switch-on, remove any items that may be present (drilling chips, screws and other foreign objects)
from the intake area - risk of injury from any objects that may fly out!

WARNING
Parts of the rotor or the entire rotor coming loose in case of a fault (e.g. excessive vibrations)
can result in personal injury and material damage.
" Use guard grilles or suitable design measures for critical applications (e.g. refrigerating systems
with refrigerant subject to the ordinance on hazardous substances).

4.8 Assembly in a humid atmosphere

Information
If the device is not in use for longer periods in a humid atmosphere, it is recommended to operate the
motor/fan for at least 2 hours every month at 80-100 % of maximum speed to remove any moisture
that has penetrated inside.

4.9 Motorheating
A continuous power supply is required for safe operation down to the minimum permitted ambient
temperature (see technical data).
If the motor is not switched on with an existing power supply (no setting signal, switch off by enable),
the motorheating switches back off automatically at a controller inside temperature of -19 °C and
heating up to -15 °C.
Heating takes place via the motor winding whereby a current is induced which cannot cause rotation.

5 Electrical installation
5.1 Safety precautions
Danger due to electric current
• Work on electric components may only be carried out by trained electricians or by persons
instructed in electricity under the supervision of an electrician in accordance with electrical
engineering regulations.
• The 5 electrical safety rules must be observed!
• It is forbidden to carry out work on electrically live parts! Even after disconnection, the dc-link is still
live. Always wait at least 3 minutes.
• Cover neighbouring electrical equipment during installation work.
• Cable glands made out of metal are not allowed in plastic terminal boxes due to lack of potential
equalisation.
• Other measures may be necessary to achieve safe electrical isolation.
• Connect the fan only to electrical circuits that can be disconnected with an all-pole isolating switch.
• Operating the device with the housing cover removed is prohibited because energized, exposed
parts are present inside the device. Disregarding this regulation can lead to severe personal injury.
• The final application must ensure that the fundamental health and safety requirements are met.
• The device owner is responsible for the EMC of the entire plant according to the locally applicable
standards.
• Electrical equipment must be checked regularly: Loose connections are to be re-tightened and
damaged cables must be replaced immediately.

5.2 EMC-compatible installation

5.2.1 Harmonics current

The device is classified as "professional equipment" in accordance with EN 61000-3-2 due to
unknown system conditions, the operation of multiple built-in components in the end device (e.g. air
handling unit) and unknown impedances at the connection point which affect the harmonics current.
Connection to the low voltage supply (public networks) is allowed insofar as this has been clarified
with the respective energy supply companies responsible.
Input impedance can be used if necessary to meet the limit values for harmonics current without
restriction (accessory is available according to the system conditions).

5.2.2 Control cables

During the subsequent installation of the cable, ensure that there is sufficient distance between the
mains supply lines and control cables to avoid electrical interferences on the control cable.
Shielded cables are only useful if it is possible to connect the shield at one side with the protective
conductor PE, as short and with as little induction as possible. Please note the connection options for
the components used. In case of double-sided contacting of the shield, any compensation currents
that may occur must be taken into account!

5.3 mains

5.3.1 Mains voltage

Connection line voltage to: PE, L1, and N. Here, it must be strictly observed that the line voltage lies
within the allowable tolerance specifications (see technical data).

Danger due to electric current

• The fan / motor is to be used exclusively as a built-in component. The connecting cable (power
supply connection) should therefore be viewed as an internal cable. A direct mains connection is not
allowed.
• Between the voltage supply of the device and the protective earth “PE” is in no case a higher voltage
permissible than the indicated line voltage of the device!
• To activate the on current limitation, you must wait at least 90 seconds after switching off the line
voltage before switching back on!

15/42
Assembly instructions ECblue Electrical installation

5.3.2 Required quality attributes for the mains voltage

Danger due to electric current
The mains voltage must comply with the EN 50160 quality characteristics and the defined standard
voltages in IEC 60038!

5.3.3 Operating in IT-System

Danger due to electric current
• In the IT-System the neutral point of voltage supply is not grounded; in the case of a short-circuit
between a phase (e.g. “L1”) and protective earth “PE” becomes the protective earth potential =
phase.
• Between the connection of the voltage supply of the device and the protective earth “PE” is in no
case a higher voltage permissible than the indicated line voltage of the device!
1 ~ types can be used in IT-System in standard version. These may only be used in 3 ~ IT-Systems if
no higher voltage to the “PE” can occur than the specified mains voltage of the device even in case of
a fault to earth of a mains phase which is not used by the device (of none of the two power supplies).
In order to ensure a trouble free operation in IT-System the “GND” potential of the control ports have
to be connected with the protective earth potential.
As a consequence of these connection must be considered for the control ports (exception floating
relay contacts):
1. Connection only with wires, suitable for mains voltage and surrounding area.
2. Connection with suitable isolated amplifiers only.

5.4 Systems with residual current protective devices

Whether the use of a residual current protective device (RCD) is necessary or allowed depends on the
design of the low-voltage system on which the device is to be operated.
The assessment whether or which residual current protective device should be used is the responsi-
bility of the system operator or electrician commissioned by it.
Danger due to electric current
When selecting the tripping characteristics of the residual current protective device, the possible
residual current form of the power electronics (system with semiconductors) must be observed in
conjunction with the standards and regulations applicable at the place of use.

Design of the power electronics

• The design of the power electronics corresponds to a frequency inverter with two-pulse bridge
circuit and PFC (power factor correction).
Information
To prevent false tripping due to pulse-like charging currents of the integrated EMC filter, we
recommend a rated differential current of 300 mA for reasons of operational reliability in the case of
fixed connection and use of a residual current protective device.

5.5 Motor protection

Integrated overload protection, preceding motor protection device unnecessary (max. line fuse see
Technical data).

5.6.3 Characteristic curve signal/speed

In “Constant speed” mode, the motor speed is proportional to the specification signal.
On certain designs in this ventilator series, the maximum speed of the fan is set higher than the
maximum motor power allows at some operating points. At these operating points, the maximum
motor power is the limit, which means that the maximum fan speed (see reference speed on motor
rating plate) can no longer be increased, i.e. the maximum speed of the fan can be reached at a partial
voltage (e.g. 7 V rotational speed specification signal).
This is an example - other operating modes/characteristic curves are possible by agreement.

Characteristic curve: Motor speed proportional to specification signal

n Motor speed
100 % rated speed motor = maximal Speed
E1 Min. Internal offset for analog input E1
Si Speed setting signal 0...10 V / 0...100 % PWM

* If the internal setting "E1 min." (factory setting 5 %) is exceeded by 0.15 V, the system starts the
motor with a factory set minimum speed depending on the motor type(typically 9 % of the reference
speed).
If the specification signal has exceeded the value corresponding to the minimum speed, the motor
speed is proportional to the specification signal.

5.6.4 Voltage supply “10 V DC”

Voltage supply for external components, e.g. for a potentiometer for speed setting (SELV current
source according to EN 60204-1).
Connection: “10 V” - “GND” (max. load see Technical data und connection diagram).
During an overload or short-circuit (10 V - GND), the control voltage is disconnected . Automatic start
after elimination of the cause of error.
It is not permissible to connect outputs of several devices to each other!

5.6.6 Potential at control voltage connections

The control voltage connections (< 50 V) relate to the joint GND potential (Exception: Relay contacts
are potential free). There is a potential separation between the control voltage connections and the
protective earth. It must be ensured that the maximum external voltage at the control voltage
connections cannot exceed 50 V (between “GND” and “PE” protective earth). If necessary, a
connection to the protective earth potential can be established (bridge between “GND” and “PE”).

dimensionally-stable, round-centred jacket; e.g. by means of gusset filling)! Lines with filling fleece
are not permissible because moisture can penetrate due to the capillary effect!
• Two lines may only be fed through one cable gland with a sealing insert for two lines.
• Make absolutely sure that different connections do not come into contact (e.g. by splaying or loose
connecting wires).

5.8.2 Networking via MODBUS

Information
• You must ensure correct connection; i.e. “A” must also be connected on the following devices to “A”.
The same applies to “B”.
• In addition, a "GND" connection must be established, as dissimilar potential (over 10 V) will lead to
the destruction of the RS-485 interface (e.g. lightning).
• Except the data link “A”, “B” and “GND” (for automatic addressing additional “ID1” - “ID2” see
following chapter) no further cable cores of the data line may be used.
• Between the branch of the bus line and the internal MODBUS connection (branch line) is max. 1 m
cable length permissible!
• Pay attention to sufficient distance from powerlines and motor wires (min. 20 cm).
• A maximum of 64 participants can be directly connected to one another, and a further 63
participants via a repeater. The precise number depends on the respective master.

Example for MODBUS connection

The data line must be conducted from one device to the
next. No other type of wiring is allowed!
Always use only two wires of one lead (twisted pair) for
the connection.

1. CAT5 / CAT7 cables
2. J-Y (St) 2x2x0.6 (telephone cable)
3. AWG22 (2x2 twisted pair)
Max allowed wire length 1000 m (CAT5/7 500 m).

Shielding
The use of shielded cables is normally not needed but offers high protection against electromagnetic
interferences, especially high frequencies. However, the effectiveness of the shield depends on care-
ful installation of the line.
If shielded cables are used, the shield should be placed at “PE” on at least one side (preferably on the
master connection). The occurrence of compensating currents may have to be considered if the shield
is contacted on both sides.

Shield connection correct Shield connection incorrect

When using telephone cable with four cable cores, we recommend the following allocation:
• A = red
• B = black
• ID1 - ID2 = yellow (for automatic addressing)
• GND = white

Default interface parameter

• Baudrate = 19200
• Bits = 8
• Parity = Even
• Stop bits = 1
• Handshake = none
Information
• Addressing is performed by an external terminal or a PC with the appropriate software (automatic
addressing following chapter).
• The MODBUS register description and the information sheet “Network structure of MODBUS” can
be requested from our Support Department V-STE for control systems - ventilation.

5.8.3 Automatic addressing

Automatic addressing can be started when the connections “ID1” and “ID2” for “Addressing” are
connected with each other additionally next to the bus connection. I.e. it is no longer necessary to
address every user manually in the network.

On the first user that is connected directly to a terminal, MODBUS Master or PC, “GND” and “ID1” or “ID2” must be bridged.
This is recognised as a result and occupied by first address.
For the following users the connection “ID1” or “ID2” of a user respectively is connected with connection “ID1” or “ID2” of the
next user.
The automatic addressing of other users is initiated by the previous user via this connection.

Information
• Except the data link “A”, “B” the “ID1 - ID2” and the “GND” connection may no further cable cores of
the data line be used.
• Between the branch of the bus line and the internal MODBUS connection (branch line) is max. 1 m
cable length permissible!
• The connections for the automatic addressing “ID1” and “ID2” are not directly connected electrically
with each other. These may not be bridged; any order of connection is possible.
• If a repeater is necessary and automatic addressing should be carried out, only the repeater of the
Z-G-1NE type can be used, only it can relay the addressing signal.
• Maximum number of members in automatic addressing:
– With hand held terminal type A-G-247 and control unit NETcon type A-G-102ANE max. 63
members.
– With control module UNIcon MODBUS master type CXE/AV(E) and CXG-24AV(E) a max. 32
participants.
– With control module UNIcon MODBUS master type CXG-327AN(E)-R a max. 62 participants for
interface 1 and a max. 62 participants for interface 2.

Assembly instructions ECblue Start-up

6 Start-up
6.1 Prerequisites for commissioning

Attention!
• During commissioning, unexpected and hazardous conditions can arise in the entire installation due
to defective adjustments, defective components or incorrect electrical connections. Remove all
persons and objects from the hazardous area.
• Do not start the fan until all safety instructions (EN 50110, IEC 60364-1)have been checked, the fan
is out of range (EN ISO 13857)and danger can be ruled out.
• A-rated sound power levels of over 80 dB(A) are possible, see product catalogue.
Before first-time start-up, check the following:
1. Installation and electrical connection have been properly completed?
2. Has any leftover installation material and other foreign material been removed from the fan area?
3. That safety devices -if necessary- are mounted (EN ISO 13857)?
4. The impeller is out of reach?
5. Are the drain holes (as far as available) open or respectively closed according to the suitable
installation position?
6. Connection data complies with the specifications on the rating plate?

During start-up check the following:

1. Check the rotat. direction (see the rotat. direction arrow on the fan blade, impeller base plate or
intake-side support plate).
2. Check for quiet, low vibration operation. Strong vibrations due to erratic operation (unbalanced),
e.g. caused by transportation damage or improper use, can lead to failure.
3. Check the system for resonances. If they lead to unacceptably high vibrations on the fan, the
system must not be started up.
4. Fans from ZIEHL-ABEGG SE are delivered balanced in accordance with DIN ISO 21940-11 for
the appropriate fan category in accordance with ISO 14694. Check the fan for mechanical
vibrations after installation. If the limit values of the corresponding fan category are exceeded in
start-up, you must have the motor/impeller unit checked by an expert and rebalanced if necessary
before continuous operation is permitted.

7.3 Behaviour in rotation by air current in reverse direction

In the STOP state (no preset signal, no voltage supply) the motor controller does not intervene when
the motor / fan turns in the wrong direction (e.g. due to a draught).
If the motor / fan is started (= voltage ON), while being driven in the opposite direction to that set, the
speed is reduced controlled to “0” and restarted in the set direction of rotation.
The higher the speed to be reduced, the longer this process lasts.
In cases in which the motor / fan is driven very powerfully in the wrong direction, it may not be possible
to start the motor / fan with the set direction of rotation.
Information
• Do not switch off line voltage that the motor / fan can start again!
• Safe starting of motors / fans is not guaranteed if it is started in reverse. If the application demands
safe starting, the machine manufacturer or owner must prevent reverse driving rotation by suitable
measures.

8 Service work
8.1 Maintenance/servicing

Attention!
• Allow maintenance work to be carried out by trained specialists only.
• Any faults detected in the electric system/modules/operating equipment must be corrected
immediately. If these faults are not corrected, the device/system is potentially very dangerous. The
device/system must therefore not be operated when it is faulty.
• Wear safety clothing / shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves when handling!
• Please observe the safety regulations and the worker´s protection rules by all maintenance and
service work (EN 50 110, IEC 60364-1).
• Before working on the fan, this must be disconnected from the power supply and secured against
switching back on!
• Fuses must always be only replaced; never repaired or bridged. The specifications for the maximum
series fuse must always be adhered to (see Technical data). Only fuses cited in the electrical circuit
diagram may be used.
• Keep the airways of the fan free - danger because of objects dropping out!
• No maintenance work at running fan!
• Watch out for vibration free motion!
• The impeller is subject to natural wear depending on the area of application and the conveying
medium. Deposits on the impeller can lead to imbalance and damage (danger of permanent
fracture). The impeller can burst!
• Maintenance interval in accordance with the degree of contamination of the impeller!
• Check the impeller, in particular the weld-seams (in the appropriate versions), for possible cracks.
• Repair, e.g. by welding or gluing is prohibited!
• Bolted-on or pressed on impellers and/or wings may only be replaced by authorised
ZIEHL-ABEGG SE staff. The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage caused through improper
repair work.
• Regular inspection and possibly cleaning is necessary to prevent imbalance and blockage of the
drain holes (if available)due to ingress of dirt.
• When opening cable glands on the fan / motor, check the condition of the threaded connections and
seals. Always replace defective or brittle threaded connections and seals.

8.2 Cleaning
Danger due to electric current
Voltage supply for motor must be interrupted and secured against restoration!

Clean the fans`s flow area.

Attention!
• Do not use any aggressive, paint solvent cleaning agents when cleaning.
• Make sure that no water gets inside the motor and the electronics (e.g. by direct contact with seals
or motor openings), observe protection class (IP).
• The drain holes (if available) corresponding to the installation position must be checked for free
passage.
• In case of improper cleaning work, no warranty is assumed regarding corrosion formation / paint
adhesion for unpainted / painted fans.
• To avoid accumulation of moisture in the motor, the fan must be operated for at least 1 hour at 80%
to 100 % of the maximum speed before the cleaning process!
• After the cleaning process, the fan must be operated for at least 2 hours at 80 to 100 % of the
maximum speed for drying purposes!

Ball bearing life The bearing service life of the motor-integrated ball bearings determined in accordance
with the standard calculation method is largely determined by the grease service life
F10h and is approx. 30,000 to 40,000 operating hours in standard use, taking into
account a temperature and load spectrum. The fan or motor is maintenance-free due to
the use of ball bearings with life-time lubrication. Once the grease service life F10h has
been reached, it may be necessary to change the bearing. The bearing service life may
change compared to the specified value if operating conditions such as increased
vibrations, increased shocks, increased or excessively low temperatures, humidity, dirt
in the ball bearing or unfavourable control modes are present. A service life calculation
for special applications can be created on request.
