5. MAINTENANCE, MALFUNCTIONS, POSSIBLE
CAUSES AND REMEDIES

Do not perform any repairs on your device. Return the device to ebm-
papst for repair or replacement.

WARNING
Terminals and connections have voltage even with a
unit that is shut off
Electric shock
→ Wait five minutes after disconnecting the voltage at all poles

before opening the device.

CAUTION
The motor restarts automatically when operating voltage
is applied, e.g. after a power failure.
Danger of injury
→ Keep out of the danger zone of the device.
→ When working on the device, switch off the mains

supply voltage and secure the latter from being switched on
again.

→ Wait until the device stops.
→ Insert the brought-out thermal overload protector into the

control circuit so that the cooled off motor does not switch on
independently after a fault.

If the device remains out of use for some time, e.g. when in
storage, we recommend switching the device on for at least
two hours to allow any condensate to evaporate and to move
the bearings.
