 Information assembly

- The ducted fan should be fixed with the position points of the Secure Fan Fix and the
recommended bolts 6 x M8 in your model or on the test bed.
Alternatively you can fix the ducted fan differently but alternative mountings should
always be fixed on the casing only in the area of the stator and not in the area of the rotor.
- Attached thrust tubes and inlet ducts in a closed-duct system must not brace the ducted
fan.
- During assembly, pay attention that the ducted fan has enough tolerance to all sides, so
that a forced position and therefore upcoming bracing of the components can be avoided.
- Bracings inside the system can lead to a rubbing of the rotor!
- The ducted fan has always to be operated with a mounted duct or an appropriate Intake
to lead the air to the rotor cleanly.

minor moderate injury

Safety-Related Information

Before starting to work with the ducted fan system, please read this manual of
instruction carefully.
Observe the following warnings to prevent any hazards.
 User Groups

At private usage initial operation is only allowed to experienced hobby area users of full
age and youths of 15 years and above, if supervised by an experienced full age user.
At commercial usage initial operation should only be performed by professionals, like
mechanical technicians and mechanical engineers.

Transport and Shipment

After completed dispatch, the package and especially the product have to bechecked for
apparent damage, which could possibly result in the rupture of the rotor.

Intended Use

The ducted fans are only suitable for air conveying for cooling purposes, simulation
purposes and propulsion purposes. It is not allowed to convey any other mediums.

Improper use

Serious injury or death due to improper use!

- The ducted fan system is no drive system for mancarrying aircraft or vehicles.

Operation of Model Airplanes

Imminent danger due to operation of model airplanes

Serious injury or death for the operater and other present people possible!
- Take care of the applicable safety instructions for the operation of model airplane

Rotating parts
 Rotating parts

Body parts that come into contact with the rotating ducted fan system can be injured!
- Do not hold the ducted fan system in your hands during operation.
- Do not reach into the rotating parts.
- Before working with the ducted fan system, disconnect it from the supply voltage.

Flying fragments

Danger of injuries due to flying fragments!

- Wear always protective glasses during start-up and operation in your close range.
- Keep the safety position
- Use the ducted fan system only for air conveying for cooling purposes, simulation
purposes or propulsion purposes. Conveying other media or shredding material is
forbidden.
- Remove loose items from the intake area of the ducted fan system.
- Make sure that there are no rubbing marks on the fan shroud.

Rotating Parts

Serious injury due to loose clothing and long hair!

- Keep loose clothing and long hair always away from the rotating parts.

Noise Emission

Noise Emission

Noise emission above 80dB(A)

Risk of hearing damage!
- Wear ear protectors for short use (acoustic earmuffs) during start-up and operation in
close range.
 Electromagnetic Field

Danger of cardiac arrest for persons with pacemakers!

- Operating and shutting-down of the ducted fans is prohibited for persons with
pacemakers
- Take care that there are no persons with pacemakers in the close range of the ducted
fan.

Flying Fragments

-Danger of injuries due to flying fragments!

-Keep the safety position,
-Remove loose items from the intake area of the ducted fan system.

Hot Surface

High temperature at the motor housing Danger of burns!

- Wait for 20 minutes after operating the ducted fan system before touching it.

The compulsory limit values for voltage and current especially the rpm limit , must not be
exceeded. There is a high risk of damage for your ducted fan.
During operation please take care that a maximum ambient temperature of 30°C and a
maximum relative humidity of 80% must not be exceeded.
The minimum ambient temperature should be -10°C. An operation beyond these ambient
conditions can permanently damage your ducted fan system.
Moreover, take care that the air is clean without any hard particles; small amounts of
grass are acceptable.
After the first test run, please check if there are any rubbing marks on the fan shroud.
Furthermore, there should not be any mis-commutations (jerking during run-up of the
ducted fan) of your BLDC motor.
In both cases, you have to stop operation and contact the producer. Otherwise, there
could occur subsequent damages.
Please consider that your ducted fan system has to cool down to ambienttemperature
after every flight or operating phase.
For cooling down please let your ducted fan run for another 3-4 minutes at about 20% of
the full throttle rpm.
This measure protects the sensitive spinning components from too high temperature and
increases the life expectancy of your ducted fan.

Malefunction During Operation, Error Search, Fault Clearance

Never do a consistent operation, when there are any uncommon vibrations or noises.
Before another use, clarify the cause and eliminate the errors, if possible.
If you are not able to do this, please contact the producer, so that the problem can b
clarified.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Rotating Parts
Danger of injuries due to rotating parts!
- Before working with the ducted fan system, disconnect if from the supply voltage.
Danger of Explosion
Danger of explosion due to harmed or rubbing rotor blades!
- Examine the rotor blades according to the following instructions.

The ducted fan system can be operated in short high-performance operations, e.g. in
model airplanes with phases of full throttle from 20 to 30 seconds, which alternate with
part load or with complete idle running and at which the allowed maximum voltage is
applied.
A long operation with full throttle is also possible.
At this long operation an engineer has to check, if the ducted fan runs thermally stable
(temperature sensor at the winding back end). Generally, a lower voltage is applied in this
case, which is for example 70% of the allowed maximum voltage.
The exact operating voltage has to be determined to guarantee a thermally stable
operation.
During short high-performance operations, there should happen a visual examination of
the rotor blades and the shroud for rubbing marks before each operating interval (flights,
measuring cycles).
During long operations there has to be a visual examination of the rotor blades at least
every 10 operation hours. In both cases a light cleaning of the flow guiding parts can be
performed by the user, i.e. obvious dirt can be removed.
If there occur any vibrations after cleaning, you should absolutely consult the producer.
Stop the operation and contact the manufacturer for revision, if you notice any harmed
rotor blades or rubbing marks on the shroud.
Both cases can lead to explosion.
Please consider that for ducted fan systems, which were heated to high temperatures, or
for motors, which were damaged by heat, possibly the stability of the blades might have
been impaired.
