All values were measured with fans of precision class 3 based on the standard density of air of 1.2 kg/m3 on a test bench according to DIN 2466 (distance
between fan and damper 1135 mm).
The motors are fabricated according to IP 54 (dust-proof and water-proof) protection class. All listed built-in fans 1 ~ 230 V and 3 ~ 400 V of the CL- and BD-
