2. INTENDED USE
The device is exclusively designed as a built-in device for conveying
air according to its technical data.
Any other usage above and beyond this does not conform with the
intended purpose and constitutes misuse of the device.
Customer equipment must be capable of withstanding the mechanical
and thermal stresses that can arise from this product. This applies for the
entire service life of the equipment in which this product is installed.
Intended use also includes
● Conveying air at an ambient air pressure between 800 mbar and
1050 mbar.
● Using the device within the permitted ambient temperature range; see
Chapter 3.5 Transport and storage conditions and
Chapter 3.2 Nominal data.
● Operating the device with all protective devices.
● Following the operating instructions.
● Using the device only for conveying exhaust from exhaust blowers
for wood-based fuels.
● Using the device within the permitted ambient temperature range; see
Chapter 3.5 Transport and storage conditions and
Chapter 3.2 Nominal data.
● Using the device only in stationary systems.
● Commissioning the built-in component only after installation in the
customer equipment.
● Operating the device with all protective devices.
● Following the operating instructions.

Improper use
In particular, operating the device in the following ways is prohibited and
could be hazardous:
● Operating the device in an unbalanced state, e.g. due to dirt deposits
or ice formation.
● Resonant operation, operation with severe vibration. This also
includes vibration transmitted to the fan from the customer installation.
● Conveying highly corrosive air, e.g. salt spray. Exception: devices
designed for salt spray and correspondingly protected.
● Operation with external vibrations.
● Operating the device in an explosive atmosphere.
Translation of the original operating instructions

● Operation in medical equipment with a life-sustaining or life-support

function.
● Contact with materials that could damage blower parts, e.g. liquids
during cleaning.
● Operation with completely or partially disassembled or manipulated
protective devices.
● Using the device as a safety component or to perform safety-related
functions.
● In addition, all applications not listed among the intended uses.
