Storage, transport and assembly
Maximum permissible storage period or idle time for: inverters, EC controllers, motors with integral
controllers.
Refreshing intermediate circuit capacitors
The maximum permissible storage period or idle time without mains voltage is particularly dependent on the electrolytic
capacitors, since the dielectric in the capacitor decomposes and the electrolyte vaporises.
Depending on the duration the system is de-energised, it may be necessary to refresh the internal capacitors before
applying full mains voltage.
Mains voltage: See the specification of the respective unit, for wide voltage ranges = use upper value
indicated for mains voltage.

05.05 Foundations
A smooth, level floor which is as vibration-isolated as possible, is required for the correct installation of
these units. Strip foundations, in particular foundations made of steel supports, must be sufficiently rigid to prevent
the unit from bending.
All strip foundations require cross supports at the front and end of units as well as at the joints between unit
sections.
Failure to meet these requirements may result in problems on the unit, such as jamming doors.
Assembly instructions: Place steel plates between the unit and the anti-vibration strips during assembly (assembly
of unit modules). This simplifies drawing the modules together.
When installing a washer unit, all other unit sections must be supported by an on-site substructure. Observe the
foundation height for units with traps.
The stability of the unit at the installation site must be ensured according to the state of the art and the existing
conditions, e.g. tipping over, wind loads. In particular, units that are outdoors or have a motor extension rail must
be secured to the foundation.
The unit must be earthed at the base frame according to the state of the art (foundation earth). Additionally, with
ATEX units an attachment, e.g. blind rivet nut is provided at the bottom of the unit. The position is identified with
an earth label. All connections must be secured against self-undoing.
In the case of hygienic units, access to the back of the units must also be possible for easier cleaning as well as
disinfection. (see Fig.)
When routing connection cables/lines (electricity, air, water, etc.), please ensure that operating doors and service
covers are not obstructed.
According to VDI 6022, integral components installed inside the AHU must be accessible from both sides.

Storage, transport and assembly
When assembling and installing unit modules, ensure that they are assembled in the order specified under
„05.09.01 Assembly of units with 30 mm wall thickness“ on Page 15.
Unit Modules, which belong together, have the same mark at the respective connection points on their flanges. For
example connect “flange 1” to “flange 1”.
Our centring pins are used to ensure the accurate fit of individual modules in the longitudinal direction (see Fig.). These
are already prefitted or included with the assembly accessories.
Attention
As long as the unit is not connected to the structure in accordance with the regulations, there is a risk of it tipping over
(e.g. units with castors) and components falling down. Tipping over or falling down can cause serious personal injury
or even fatal injury.“
When fitting individual units, connect the equipotential bonding to the frame profile. The connections are additionally
labelled with stickers (connect equipotential bonding here). All connections must be secured against self-undoing.

05.19.05 Inverter
Externally provided inverters must be set to the maximum frequency “f max” before the trial run. The maximum fan
speed indicated on the type plate must not be exceeded!
EMC guidelines and the level of radio interference suppression must be taken into account. For mains bypass circuits,
observe the relevant IEE regulations and those issued by the power supply utility for star-delta or DOL starting.
When sizing the motor connection, also take the inverter efficiency into account!
According to directive EEC 82/499 and the EMC specifications, all cables on the output side of the inverter, including
control cables, must be screened.
Observe the manufacturer‘s connection guidelines.
The cross-section of the earth wire must be at least 10 mm²; alternatively use two separately routed earth cabled, which
are connected to EN 50178 or IEC 61800-5-1. Always comply with national and local regulations regarding wire cross-
sections.
For centrifugal impellers, check whether or not DOL operation on the mains is permitted regarding the minimum air flow rate.
Commissioning: Observe the inverter operating instructions during commissioning.
Record the inverter settings.
Caution: Contact with electric components can be life threatening even after they have been disconnected from the
power supply. Wait at least 15 minutes after disconnection.
With ATEX units only approved equipment / components may be used.
All electrical equipment / components must be earthed. This applies particularly to inverters supplied separately. These
have no equipment approval according to ATEX 94/9/EC and must therefore not be used in areas/atmospheres where
there is a risk of explosion.

2. Step 1: Cleaning
The overlapping of the roofing membranes with each other serves to ensure that the material is joined / welded
without foreign material.
Due to soiling caused by the construction site or other influences (e.g. due to work interruptions), it is necessary to
clean the overlap beforehand.
It is necessary to clean the overlapping surfaces of the roofing membranes with roofing membrane cleaner
beforehand.
The overlapping surfaces must be dry and free of dirt. The contact surfaces are heated with hot air until plastic state.
Seam edges that are to be welded over with a subsequent membrane, a cut or a shaped part must first be bevelled in
the width of the weld seam (e.g. T-joint) to avoid the so-called capillary effect.
