2 Installation and Maintenance Instructions STORAGE BEFORE INSTALLATION The storage space for fans must not be exposed to vibrations from the surroundings that can give rise to bearing damage. If the fans are stored for more than 3 months, you should relieve the tension on the drive belts and rotate the fan impellers at regular intervals by hand. Important! If the fans are idle for more than 3 months before or after installation you should relieve the tension on the drive belts and rotate the fan impellers at regular intervals by hand. If this is not done, the ball bearings could become damaged as shown in the illustration below. Important! When commissioning a new unit, check the drive belt tension and adjust if necessary after approx. 30 min. of operation, if required. ACTIONS TO TAKE BEFORE STARTING The fan must not be started with the damper on the suction or the delivery side closed. Prior to starting the fan, check that the impeller rotates freely and that there are no objects which can be drawn in and damage the fan. Load damage Belastnings When commissioning the air handling unit, check the drive belt tension and adjust the belt tension after approx. 30 min. of operation, if required. See below. If the fan is equipped with steel spring anti-vibration mountings, you must remove the transport safety devices before starting. CHECKS TO BE MADE PRIOR TO COMMISSIONING Check that the fan section is connected to the ducting or equipped with the necessary EQAZ-28 protective screen, both on the fan inlet and fan outlet. Check that an authorized electrician has given approval for commissioning the unit. Check that the impeller rotates freely and that there are no objects which can be drawn in and damage the fan. COMMISSIONING The fan must not be started with the damper on the suction or the delivery side closed. However the motor can be briefly energized with the inspection panel open for checking the direction of rotation. MAINTENANCE The fan must be inspected and cleaned every 6 12 months. The intervals between service are based on the assumption that the unit is in operation for about 2000 hours per 12-month period in a normal comfort ventilation installation. If the supply and/or extract air has a high dust content, the unit should be serviced more frequently. Check the belt tension every 6 months. The fan is accessible from the inspection panel. Important! Isolate the power supply before carrying out any inspection and service work.

Installation and Maintenance Instructions 5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Double-storey air handling unit The electrical connections must be wired by a qualified electrician. Use a rubber-insulated cable, but do not run the cable through the inspection panel/door. Allow about 1.2 m of extra cable on the inside of the casing of the EQLR-005 to 032, to enable the fan to be withdrawn for service. See Fig. 9. approx. 1.2 m Fig. 9b Use a trepanning drill, for instance, for drilling a hole for the cable gland at a suitable point on the casing. The cable gland can be arranged as shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 9c. Fan in upper storey, size 005 050. Fig. 7 Fig. 8 SAFETY ISOLATING SWITCH The fan should be equipped with a safety isolating switch such as the APAC. Always switch off the air handling unit and set the safety isolating switch in the OFF or 0 position, before beginning work on the fans. Locate the safety isolating switch so that the fan unit can be withdrawn without the need for disconnecting any electrical connections. Fig. 9d. Fan in bottom storey, size 005 050. Do not use the safety isolating switch for switching the unit on and off. Important! Be careful not to damage the filter bags while removing/installing the filter cassettes! Fig. 9e.

6 Installation and Maintenance Instructions SAFETY GUARDS Observe the provisions of the EU Machinery Directive concerning safety guards, which stipulate that the fan must be equipped with a drive belt guard and a fan inlet protective screen or protective screen (removable by means of tools) fitted to the inside of the casing behind the inspection panel or a door lock. TO ADJUST THE TENSION OF V-BELTS The belts must operate with a certain initial tension to ensure correct contact with the pulleys. If insufficiently tensioned, the drive belts may slip, and if excessively tensioned, the bearings in the motor and fan may be overloaded. When correctly tensioned, the belt deflection will be 15 m per metre of distance between the centres (c/c) when a force P (N) is applied. TO CHANGE THE V-BELTS To change the belts, first move the motor towards the fan by a sufficient amount to allow the old belts to be easily prised off the pulleys and the new belts to be prised on. Change all the belts at the same time. Use belts with the same production number (matched belts), i.e. belts of exactly the same length. Tension the belts in accordance with the instructions on this page and align them as shown in Fig. 12. NB! Retension the belts after the fans have been in operation for 30 minutes. The deflection should preferably be measured by means of a tensiometer. See Fig. 10 and 11. The force P is dependent on the belt type as shown in the table below. c/c L P Fig. 10 EUL(B,F) 11 1 2 3 4 5 6 cm N120 100 80 60 20 0 Fig. 12 Fig. 11 Belt profile Pitch diameter of smaller pulley P i N / belt Normal Max. 1) SPZ SPZ 67 95 100 10 15 10 20 SPA SPA 90-132 140 20 28 27 35 SPB SPB 160-224 236 35 50 50 65 SPC SPC 224-355 375 60 90 90 120 1) New belt

Installation and Maintenance Instructions 7 INSTALLATION OF HABASIT FLAT-BELT DRIVE Important! Never install an ice-cold or a stiff drive belt. Allow the belt to thaw, become soft and flexible before you install it. The elasticity of the material is affected by cold, which both makes installation difficult and may cause the belt to rupture (where it is jointed together) in the future. 1. Fit the motor and fan pulleys to their corresponding shafts but do not tighten the bushes. 2. Fit the belt around the pulleys and push the motor by hand so that the belt is stretched. 3. Align the pulleys by means of a straight edge and tighten the pulley bushes. 4. Tighten the motor mounting bolts only so hard that the motor will still be able to slide on the guide rails. DISTANCE BETWEEN THE MARKS Before tensioning (mm) Type: F 0, F 1 2,8% Tension the belt until the elongation tabulated above has been achieved. After tensioning (mm) Type: F 14, A 2, A 3, A 4 2,5% 100 102,8 102,5 200 205,6 205,0 300 308,4 307,5 400 411,2 410,0 500 514,0 512,5 600 616,8 615,0 700 719,6 717,5 800 822,4 820,0 900 925,2 922,5 1000 1028,0 1025,0 5. Measure the longest free measurement distance on the belt to the nearest 100 mm. The belt must not be in contact with the pulleys along the measurement distance. 6. Remove the belt, place it on a flat surface and mark off the above measurement distance to the nearest 100 mm. Measurement distance Use a straight edge to check that the pulleys are in line. 7. Refit the belt to the pulleys and tension the belt by means of the tensioning screws on the motor guide rails. Keep the shafts of the motor and fan as parallel as possible. 8. Conclude the tensioning when the belt has achieved the elongation specified in the table. If the belt moves sideways, adjust by means of the tensioning screws on the motor guide rails or motor bracket. 9. Rotate the drive belt by hand in both directions of rotation. If the belt tends to move axially in one direction or the other, this is because the shafts are not parallel. Adjust by means of the tensioning screws of the slide rails until the belt remains in the centre of the pulleys while the pulleys are rotating. 10. When tensioning has been completed and the belt remains in position when the drive is rotating, securely tighten the motor mounting bolts. Start by tightening the bolts nearest to the pulley.

8 Installation and Maintenance Instructions HANDLING THE MOTOR FOR ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE BELT Adjust the belt tension by moving the motor. The images below show the adjustment when the motor is placed in-ternally. When the motor is placed externally, the adjustment is made in the same way. 1. Remove the belt guard, if used. 2. Back off slightly the 4 mounting bolts. 3. Change the belt tension by means of the tensioning screws. 4. Check the alignment of the drive. Change with the adjusting screws. 5. Retighten the mounting bolts. 6. Refit the belt guard, if used. WHEEL DIAMETER GREATER THAN 800 CM Tensioning pad Tensioning screw N.B. If the motor is equipped with an EQLZ-28 motor enclosure, you will have to remove the upper part of the enclosure to make the motor mounting bolts accessible for adjusting the belt tension.

Installation and Maintenance Instructions 9 BELT PULLEYS To remove and refit the belt pulley Never hammer the belt pulley onto or off the shaft, since even light blows and shocks may damage the bearings, which will give rise to noise and an abnormally high rate of wear. To remove: 1. Remove the screws, oil them sparingly and screw one of them into the extractor hole, i.e. the tapped hole in the bush. See Fig. 16 and 17. 2. Tighten the screw until the bush is free of the hub and the unit is free of the shaft. 3. Remove the pulley and bush from the shaft as one unit. EUL(B,F) 15 To fit: 1. Clean the bore of the pulley and the inside and outside of the bush to remove any anti-corrosion agent, and make certain that the surfaces are completely free from oil and dirt. Fit the bush into the pulley. 2. Oil the screws sparingly and screw them loosely into the tapped holes in the pulley. See Fig. 16. 3. Clean the shaft and fit the pulley and bush onto the shaft as one unit. 4. Tighten the screws alternately until they are all securely tightened. Extractor hole Screw Screw Fig. 17 Fig. 16

10 Installation and Maintenance Instructions AIRFLOW MEASUREMENT If the air handling unit is supplied with a control system, the flow can be read directly in the control panel display. NB! In the case of air handling units supplied with a control system, the pressure tappings in the end connection panels of the unit are not connected to the airflow sensor of the fan. If you still want to read the manometer pressure with an external manometer, you can connect the tubes from the airflow sensor of the fan across T-nipples to the pressure tappings in the end connection panel of the air handling unit. The EQLR has equipment for airflow measurement. The airflow q can be calculated by applying a manometer reading Δp (Pa), and a constant k in the following formula: q = 1 Δp m 3 /s k The manometer reading, Δp, which is the difference between the pressure in the empty section at the fan inlet and the pressure inside the inlet cone can be read with a manometer (pressure range up to 6000 Pa) which is connected to 2 externally located nipples. The value of the constant k is specified in the table below. Important! For EQLZ-42 U-tube manometers, use only the blue manometer fluid supplied with the instrument. Never use any other type of fluid. Precision-adjust the zero point with the zero adjustment screw. A flow indicator with built-in pressure transducer (available as an accessory) connected by means of hoses to the external nipples, converters the manometer pressure reading to a flow (m 3 /s) which is shown on a display and transmits a 0 10V output signal, linear with the flow. If this external means of measuring flow will not be permanent, the tubes must be restored to their original condition.

For other temperatures, the flow must be corrected using the following formula: q = q 20 (273 + t) 293, m 3 /s where q = the actual flow through the fan, q 20 = the flow reading and t = the current temperature in C.

Installation and Maintenance Instructions 11 INSTALLATION OF FREQUENCY INVERTERS Warning! Improper installation of frequency inverters may damage the bearings inside the motor. TO CONNECT THE SHIELD CONDUCTOR Should it be necessary to connect the shield conductor to an earth screw in the motor or frequency inverter, this must be done so that the impedance will be as low as possible. In these cases, the length of the conductor should be restricted to 5 times its width. For example, if the shield conductor is 1 cm wide, it must not be longer than 5 cm in length. The motor and frequency inverter should be supplied and installed by FläktGroup. FläktGroup will not accept guarantee liability for motor damage if the motor has been wired to a frequency inverter that has not been installed by a fitter who is not from or been chosen by FläktGroup. The frequency inverter and the motor must be installed by a qualified electrician possessing the right knowledge of installations with a speed-controlled drive system (frequency inverters) and EMC safety. The following recommendations should be regarded as a complement to the installation instructions of the supplier. If you encounter any differences between these instructions and those of the supplier, the supplier s instructions shall have priority over those given below. This is due to the guarantee liability/commitment of the manufacturer. Shield MOTOR The cable gland fitted to the terminal box of the motor must be of an EMC approved type, for example: Miltronic SKINTOPMS-SC. The shield conductor shall only be connected via the EMC-approved cable gland, not to the earth screw. The shield must have 360º contact with the casing. Casing Shield GENERAL A shielded, continuous 4-wire cable designed for EMC installations for motor drives must be used in the electrical installation between the motor and the frequency inverter. The shield must have at least 80% optical tightness, for example Nexans NCY or Ölflex Classic. The shield must have 360 º contact with the casing both in the motor and in the frequency inverter for achieving maximum area of contact. Safety isolating switch or junction boxes installed between the frequency inverter and the motor are not advisable. FREQUENCY INVERTER The shield conductor must be connected either via an EMC-approved cable gland in the frequency inverter casing or through a sleeve designed for this purpose. The shield conductor must not be connected to an earth screw. OTHER PARTICULARS In addition to the above, the following should be observed: type of mains power supply local rules and regulations the manufacturer s installation instructions for the frequency inverter. OUTPUTS HIGHER THAN 22 KW If the output is higher than 22 kw, a symmetric shielded cable with concentric or in another way symmetrically designed protective earth conductor should be used. For recommendations for these installations, refer to the installation instructions for the frequency inverter. The shield must have 360º contact with the casing. Shield

12 Installation and Maintenance Instructions CLEANING Wipe the fan clean with a piece of cloth. It is particularly important to keep the impeller clean to avoid unbalance and vibrations. Important! Make sure that the fan outlet engages in the rear holder of the frame of the outlet connection. Important! Don t use liquids, since these may seep in between the sheet-metal joints and will be absorbed by the casing insulation. TO WITHDRAW THE FAN OUT OF THE UNIT CASING, SIZE EQLR 005-090 The fan can be withdrawn out of the unit casing as follows: 1. Remove the panel frame including the panel and the fixed panel by removing the screws under the plugs that cover them. 2. Disconnect the motor/ control cable leading to the frequency inverter and pull the cables out through the rotor wall/filter wall. 3. If a shear absorber is fitted: Remove the screws (2 screws) to the shear absorber brackets. You do not need to back off the screws on the backside. If a pressure absorber and steel spring anti-vibration mountings are fitted: Remove the screws of the fan beam in the floor at both ends. 4. If steel spring anti-vibration mountings are fitted: Remove the screws that hold the fan connection against the fan outlet. 5. Withdraw the fan unit. Be careful to avoid damaging the packing at the fan inlet (applies to a rubber vibration absorber). The fan may be withdrawn so far that half of the fan motor (without the support of the guide rails) extends outside the unit, but no further. 6. After completed maintenance, push the fan back into the casing and follow the above procedure in the reverse order.
