SMOKE-SPILL APPLICATIONS
The APS Series has been tested to meet the air performance and high temperature test requirements of Standards AS/NZS1668.1:1998 and AS/NZS4429:1999; both tests are mandatory. For advice on smoke-spill wiring requirements refer to the above Standards. See page C-7 for details of the smoke-spill range available.

Internal Thermal Protection

Can be provided as an optional extra.

Testing
Air flow testing:315-1000mm diameter - BS848:Part 1, 1980 1250-2000mm diameter - ISO5801:1997 Noise testing all sizes to BS848:Part 2, 1985

Special Features
Suitable for a wide range of applications, ranging from handling ambient filtered air to hot, toxic and noxious gases. Hazardous fume applications AP Series fans can be made to accommodate requirements for corrosive fume and explosion risk applications. Special coatings and alternative materials, such as stainless steel, are available as well as increased safety motors and anti-static impellers. Our sales engineers are able to assist with requirements, which must be specified at time of quotation.
