Euramco Safety EFi150xx - Manual (Page 3)

INSTALLATION & START-UP
During the installation and start-up of the Euramco Safety blowers in
areas where there is a risk of explosion:
▪ Design of the electrical installations must be in accordance with
EN 60079-14.
▪ Ensure power source is providing an electrical ground.
▪ Blowers must be integrated into a system in a way to support
accessibility for regular maintenance.
▪ Perform careful inspection of each blower system to ensure
ducting is securely attached to blower. All components of the
blower system are made of electrically conductive material. It is
very important to properly and securely attach each piece to
maintain a ground path.
▪ Ensure set-up, installation, operation, and maintenance are
performed only by properly trained personnel.
▪ Operation after a faulty installation or maintenance shall be
considered as unintended use.
Before STARTING the FIRST Time
DO not start operation if there are signs of shipping damage to blade,
guards, or housing. STOP, call your dealer. USE Ex-Rated receptacles
for this equipment. IT IS NOT recommended to use extension cords for
high amperage load. (See power rating label on limit.)
OPERATION
Always ensure the switch is in the OFF position prior to connecting a
ventilator to a power source.
Stop the blower if mechanical noise, vibration, or other abnormal
conditions occur. Any noise other than turbine-type pitch is not normal.
To protect the user, this unit is equipped with thermal overload
protection with automatic reset. Motor will restart without warning after
protector trips. If motor thermal protection trips, disconnect unit and
determine cause.
Conductive RAMFAN Portable Ventilators are made with statically
conductive materials. When ducting is required to remote the ventilator
from the point of application in a potentially explosive environment, the
ducting must be statically conductive and properly secured to ventilator
to minimize the potential fan static electricity build up.
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect power before disassembly or cleaning. Never immerse or
directly spray motor with liquids.
Clean ventilator with commercially available biodegradable cleaning
solutions. Do not use solvents containing hydrocarbons (i.e. MEK,
Acetone).
Clean fan periodically to remove accumulated dust or debris.
There are no user serviceable parts. Contact factory for replacement
part applicability.
Do not change make or model number of motor for any reason!
CAUTIONS
Do not move ventilator while fan is in operation. Use good lifting
practices when moving ventilator to prevent bodily injury.
Blower should be operated and repaired by trained personnel only.
Do not operate if there is any physical damage to cord, plug or
receptacle.
Keep fingers and hands clear of fan blade. Keep fan guard securely in
place. Do not operate with damaged or missing fan guards.
Use properly grounded power receptacle in potentially explosive
atmospheres, and for operation safety. Ensure continuity to the earth.
Fatal electrical shock may result if motor frame and adjacent metal are
not grounded in compliance with electrical code.
Keep area clear of rock and debris.
Keep away from children.
