11.4 Maintenance
To ensure a reliable operation of the fan, we recommend periodic maintenance intervals. These maintenance intervals
must be specified by the operator. The frequency of maintenance activities or additional activities must be decided ac-
cording to the use of the fans. It is important for traceability to create a maintenance plan, in which the work performed
is written down.
The maintenance intervals should be shorter if the following conditions (among others) apply:
• Fan used as kitchen exhaust application
• Ambient temperature > 40°C or < -10°C, or temperature variations > 20k
Reset threshold
RPM ≥ 180 rpm / min
< 3.0 mA
I
≥ 3.5 mA
4-20mA
Control terminals e.g. to connect an alarm signal
Possible cause
Critical CO concentration
reached
- Fan failure
- Sensor fault
Comment
Fan fault or fault with the fan supply cables
–> Signalled after 10 seconds
Short circuit or break in the sensor cable
–> Signalled after 3 seconds

Remedy / suggested solution
1. If the fan and control unit is installed in a garage
and your vehicle engine is idling, switch the engine
off.
2. Leave the room immediately and seek fresh air.
Check that everyone is present. Do not go back
into the room before it has been ventilated and the
CO alarm has stopped.
3. If the alarm triggers again after 24 hours, repeat
steps 1-2 and call the emergency gas services
(please check you have their number now) and if
necessary notify the relevant gas fitter.
