reach a temperature of 85 °C.
CAUTION: the electronic circuit in the controller fixed at the back of the motor uses capacitors; there is a danger of death
if direct contact is made with live components (or components which have become live as a result of a fault), even after
the power is cut off. Theprotectivecoverofthefanmotorcontrollermustonlyberemovedafterdisconnecting
