Need help?

Do you have a question about the ebm-papst S4E400-AP02-39 and is the answer not in the manual?

This document provides operating instructions for an ebm-papst device, likely a fan or motor, designed for moving air. It covers safety regulations, proper use, technical data, connection and start-up procedures, and maintenance information.

Function Description

The device is exclusively designed as a built-in component for moving air according to its technical data. Any other or secondary use is considered improper. It is intended to operate with a fixed and isolating safety protection and a fixed guard grille, which must withstand the kinetic energy of a fan blade detaching at maximum speed. The device is a built-in component, and the owner/operator is responsible for providing adequate protection. It is crucial to shut down the device immediately if any missing or ineffective protective features are detected. The device is designed for cyclic speed loads, with rotating parts engineered for a maximum of one million load cycles.

Usage Features

The device must be operated with a density of 1.2 kg/m³ air and within the specified ambient temperature range. All protective features must be in place and the operating instructions followed. Improper use, such as operating with imbalance (due to dirt or icing), opening the terminal box during operation, moving air with abrasive or highly corrosive particles (unless specifically designed for it), moving air with dust pollution, operating near flammable materials or in explosive atmospheres, or using it as a safety component, is strictly prohibited.

When connecting the device, ensure the data on the type plate matches the connection data and the operating capacitor. The supply voltage must match the device's operating voltage. Only use cables designed for the current according to the type plate, following EN 61800-5-1 for cross-section determination. The protective earth must have a cross-section equal to or greater than the outer conductor cross-section. 105°C cables are recommended, with a minimum cross-section of AWG26/0.13 mm².

For electrical connections, always install a protective earth first and check its integrity. Use only cables meeting specified installation requirements for voltage, current, insulation material, and load. Route cables to prevent contact with rotating parts. If multiple devices are switched in parallel, ensure sufficient protection against accidental contact and short the connections to the mains supply and PE before working on them. The fan is a built-in component without an electrically isolating switch, so it must be connected to circuits that can be switched off with an all-pole separating switch.

Cable routing is critical to prevent water penetration. For fans installed lying flat, route the cable in a loop (water trap). For fans installed upright, ensure screwed cable glands are at the bottom and cables are routed downwards. The terminal box allows for an additional cable gland opening. When opening, be aware that the screwed cable gland may be under electrical voltage in case of a fault; do not use metal cable glands for plastic terminal boxes.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is essential for safe and proper operation.

Safety Test: Periodically check the protective casing against accidental contact for damage and ensure it is intact (visual inspection, at least every 6 months). Inspect the device for damage to blades and housing (visual inspection, at least every 6 months).
Connections: Check the mounting of connection lines and protective earth connection (visual inspection, at least every 6 months). Fasten loose connections.
Wiring: Check the insulation of wires for damage (visual inspection, at least every 6 months). Replace damaged wires.
Cable Glands: Check the tightness of screwed cable glands (visual inspection, at least every 6 months). Retighten or replace if damaged.
Condensate Discharge Holes: Check for clogging (visual inspection, at least every 6 months). Open bore holes if clogged.
Weld Seams: Inspect for crack formation (visual inspection, at least every 6 months). Replace the device if cracks are found.
Cleaning: Do not clean the device with a water jet, high-pressure washer, or cleaners containing acids, bases, or solvents. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects.
Storage: Store the device in its original packaging in a dry, weatherproof, and clean environment. Protect it from environmental impacts and dirt until final installation. Storage for a maximum of one year is recommended to guarantee proper operation and service life. Maintain storage temperature as specified (-40 °C to +80 °C). Ensure all screwed cable glands are fitted with dummy plugs.
Malfunctions: If the impeller runs roughly due to imbalance, clean the device. If imbalance persists, replace the device. If weight clips were attached during cleaning, remove them afterwards. If the motor does not turn due to mechanical blockage, switch off, de-energize, and remove the blockage. If due to faulty mains supply voltage, check and restore power supply. If due to faulty connection, de-energize and correct the connection according to the diagram. If the thermal overload protector responds, allow the motor to cool, locate and rectify the cause, and cancel restart lock-out if necessary.
Overtemperature: If the motor's ambient temperature is too high or cooling is insufficient, check the operating point, lower the ambient temperature if possible, or improve cooling.
Repairs: Do not perform any repairs on the device. Return it to ebm-papst for repair or replacement.

Before any work on the device, disconnect the voltage at all poles and wait five minutes for capacitors to discharge to prevent electric shock. Always secure the device from being switched on again. If the device has been out of use for some time, switch it on for at least two hours to evaporate condensate and move the bearings.
