3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Follow wiring and installation wiring instructions. A licensed electrician should adhere to all electrical codes when wiring three phase and direct wired single phase vibrators. Take amperage and voltage readings upon completion of installation. See pages 0 - for run and start amp draws for each vibrator and page for more information on voltage drops. High amperage reading means something is wrong and the vibrator may be damaged or not mounted properly. Operate a -phase unit with proper overload protection. Failure to comply voids warranty. For single-phase, use properly grounded -prong receptacle and do not use an extension cord without knowing the voltage drop in order to use the correct gauge size. See page for instructions on how to calculate what size of extension cord you should use. Make sure all electrical connections are secure and will not vibrate loose. Follow all mounting instructions. Bolt vibrator to a flat surface, across a long vertically oriented channel iron flush to the outside of the hopper wall. Contact factory if you are unable to closely follow all installation instructions or if amperage readings are high. Attach a safety cable or chain from vibrator to an independent stronghold. Prior to use, check vibrator for damage (twisted unit, cracked junction box, loose wires, missing end covers, etc.) Do not operate a damaged vibrator. Maximum ambient operating temperature is 04 F (40 C). Do not mount electrical control boxes onto structure (bin/hopper) wall to be vibrated. Do not operate vibrators when structure is empty. Do not operate vibrators when gate is closed or conveyor is stopped unless consolidation of material is desired. Wear ear protection for 90+ decibel levels. Do not operate vibrators without side covers. Always disconnect electricity before maintenance. Follow OSHA regulation Section for lockout program.

4 I. OPERATION These electric vibrators are built for continuous duty, however the vibrators may be cycled on and off for intermittent duty. The minimum time between consecutive starts is two () minutes. Each time the vibrator starts it draws high amperage, therefore allow vibrator to cool or run for two minutes before starting again. Do not operate the vibrator on an empty hopper. The vibration will vibrate the hopper and the vibrator causing damage if no bulk material is present. When the vibrator is mounted rigidly the vibration will pass through the structure and resonate the material inside the hopper. Operate vibrators when discharge gates are open unless compaction of material is desired. The vibrator should appear motionless. Guidelines for all three phase models: 6. Direction of rotation for three phase vibrators cannot be set at the factory. 7. Remove draw bolts or round head screws from unit and pry off the weight cover. 8. Bump the starter just long enough to determine the direction of rotation. 9. If rotation is incorrect, switch connections on any two legs of the circuit. 0. Replace weight covers and draw bolts or screws. Tighten screws securely. Torque draw bolts to value indicated in the weight adjustment section - pages 4-7. II. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES The key to successful vibration is the proper installation of the vibrator. DEG Single Phase Models Figure The eccentric weights, which are found on the end(s) of the motor shaft, should rotate toward the desired direction of material flow. In hopper applications, the weights should rotate towards the bin wall and down. Guidelines for the all single phase models: Safety Cable Junction Box Mount Plate.

6 Caution! Do not mount the vibrator directly to the structure wall. Use a channel iron stiffener for proper mount rigidity and as the transducer of the vibrational energy. The key to successful vibration is a proper mount because rotary vibration resonates the material inside the structure. The vibrator should appear motionless. There should not be a large amount of motion or noise. Follow the instructions on how to mount the vibrator and you will get great results. Important! Channel Iron with Piggy-back Channel Do not weld the ends of the channel iron. This allows the vibrational force to escape. Solid welded ends trap the force, which can cause stress cracks. Channel Iron with Mount Plate Skip weld along back side of plate Length of Channel Piggy-back channel Do not weld the ends of plate to channel Stitch weld channel iron Width of Channel The channel iron should be at least two-thirds of the height of the sloped portion of the hopper but no greater than 0 feet ( m). Channel Irons - How to Mount The channel iron should be at least two-thirds the height of the sloped portion of the hopper, but not less than 6 (.8 m) or greater than 0 ( m) in length. The channel iron width should not be less than the base width of the vibrator. However, a mount plate of / to /4 (.7 to 9.05 mm) thick, sized to fit the foot pattern of the vibrator, may be skip welded to the channel. The mount plate must allow the vibrator to sit FLAT on the plate with no detectable rocking. If the vibrator does not sit flat, the plate may be warped. Shim the vibrator prior to mounting to compensate for any warping. See Table on page 8 for recommended channel iron and mount plate sizes. DO NOT install more than one vibrator on the same channel iron or use a channel iron shorter than the recommended length. A short channel may flex the bin wall. Attach the vibrator to the channel iron. Stitch weld nuts to the back of the channel iron or the channel iron may be drilled and tapped to accept the mounting bolts. An alternate method is to cut a second channel iron slightly longer than the footprint of the vibrator. Stitch weld the second channel iron to the first. Do not weld the ends. Mount the vibrator to the second channel iron. 6 Weld along the length of the channel on back side of plate. Do not weld across the width of channel. Place vibrator on top of mount plate Stitch weld the channel iron vertically to the slope portion of the bin wall. Weld inches (7.5 cm), skip inch (.5 cm), weld inches (7.5 cm), etc... Leave inch (.5 cm) un-welded on the ends and corners. This allows the vibration to dissipate out the ends of channel without causing stress cracks to the hopper or bin. By doing so, should the weld fail, the entire mount will not fall off. Do not mount the channel iron horizontally. Secure the vibrator to the channel iron with SAE coarse thread grade 8 plated bolts with lock washers or an adhesive such as Loctite 6. Tighten bolts in a sequential process. At least two passes are required in most situations. Give all bolts the same torque value. Grade 8 bolts can handle more torque than standard bolts. If Loctite is not used, torque the bolt after the vibrator has operated for a few minutes and check tightness often. If Loctite is used do not torque the bolts a second time as this will break the Loctite bond. Attach a safety cable to a stronghold (not the channel iron mount), which is higher than the mounted vibrator and capable of holding the vibrator s weight.

7 III. MOUNTING LOCATIONS Single Vibrator Install a channel iron stiffener on the outside of the sloping wall / the distance above the discharge opening. Multiple Vibrators Use more than one vibrator when the diameter or width of any wall is greater than feet (.66 m). Always mount the vibrators on different planes. Two Vibrators on Round or Square Hoppers Install channel iron stiffeners 80 apart. Install one vibrator on the outside of the sloping wall / the distance above the discharge opening. Install the second vibrator on the outside of the opposite sloping wall / the distance above the discharge opening. H / of H / of H / of H / of H Three Vibrators Install channel iron stiffeners mounted 0 apart. Install the first vibrator on the outside of the sloping wall /4 the distance above the discharge opening. Install the second vibrator on a separate channel iron at / the distance above the discharge opening. Install the third vibrator on the remaining channel iron at /4 the distance above the discharge opening. H / of H / of H Two Vibrators on Rectangular Hoppers Install channel iron stiffeners on opposite sides of the long walls. Install one vibrator on the outside of the sloping wall / the distance from the discharge opening. Install the second vibrator on the outside of the opposite sloping wall / the distance above the discharge opening. When only one wall slopes, mount both stiffeners on it. Equally space the stiffeners on the wall. Place one vibrator / above the discharge opening on one channel iron and the other vibrator / above the bin s discharge opening on the second channel. / of H / of H Installation on Chutes and Flow Pipes Mount channel iron stiffeners vertically or in the direction of material flow. Center the channel if the chute is less than 6 feet (.8 m) in width. If the chute is greater than 6 feet in width, use two vibrators on separate channel irons. To maximize each vibrator s radius of influence; center each channel iron in each half of the chute. Each channel iron should be located ¼ of the chute width from the edge and ½ of the chute width apart. (e.g. for a chute 8 wide, the channel iron locations would be from each edge and 4 apart.) When wall thickness is less than /8, additional reinforcement may be required. Width is more than 6 H /4 of H ¼ of Width /4 of H / of H ½ of Width ¼ of Width 7

All three phase electric vibrators must have overload protection to validate warranty. Using the wrong voltage, phase, or wire size will damage the vibrator and void the warranty. Measure the amperage on all legs after installing the vibrator. If the amperage draw is higher than specified on the motor nameplate, turn the vibrator off. High amperage draw may be due to improper mounting of the vibrator, low voltage, or incorrect voltage. Most of the single and three phase vibrators have a dual voltage motor which can be wired for either 5V/0V and 0V/460V. Simply change the wire connections in the junction box. Exceptions: The 575V DEG models, the QT-80- and QT-60- single voltage motors cannot be wired for a different voltage. The three phase vibrators are supplied with overload protection. See chart in next column for recommended size of heater to use with Allen- Bradley overload protectors. Other brands of equal rating may be used, but never use a higher rated heater. If the wrong overload protection is used the warranty will be void.

14 VI. THREE LEADING CAUSES OF ELECTRIC VIBRATOR FAILURE ) Single Phasing: A leading cause of failure in three phase motors is losing one of the three phases, called single phasing. Single phasing can be caused by blowing only one of the three fuses that protect the circuit, by a faulty contact in the motor starter, by losing a phase from the local electric utility, and numerous other ways. A vibrator that burns up due to single phasing is not covered under warranty. While heaters do an excellent job of protecting a motor from overload conditions, they often do not protect a three phase motor from single phasing. Global Manufacturing strongly recommends using a motor starter that is designed to detect a missing phase. The Furnas ESP00 series is a heaterless design which detects phase loss in seconds and shuts the motor off. ) Low Voltage: Another failure point is low voltage caused by high starting current. An electric vibrator will take to seconds to reach full running speed. During this starting period, the vibrator draws more current than it draws at full running speed. The high starting current may cause the voltage to sag or drop below 80% of the rated voltage when measured at the vibrator. If inadequate voltage is provided initially, a voltage drop will cause problems. Low voltage may prevent the vibrator from reaching its rated speed, and cause the motor to continue to draw high starting current for a prolonged period until it burns up. The electric power circuit must be able to handle the high starting current without dropping below 80% of the rated voltage. The most common problems are using a long extension cord with the wire gauge undersized or an undersized transformer which cannot handle the high amp draw on start up. ) Improper Mounting: When an electric motor runs slower than its rated speed, it will draw excessive current and eventually burn up. A non-rigid mount hinders the vibrator from reaching full running speed. In screen and feeder applications, the vibrator may get trapped in the resonant frequency of the structure and not have enough power to reach full running speed. Adjust the springs if possible to change resonant frequency. Improper mounting of the electric vibrator will cause it to fail. VII. WEIGHT SETTING ADJUSTMENTS The centrifugal force of the vibrator may be controlled by adjusting the eccentric weights. The speed of the vibrator is not affected by the adjustment of the eccentric weights. See Performance Data on page 0 for force produced at each setting. There are single and double ended shafts. It is very important to adjust eccentric weights on both ends of the double ended shaft identically. QT-80- The QT-80- has only one adjustable weight. Each weight has settings marked 40,60, and 80 force pounds. The factory setting is 60 force pounds. Cover Socket Set Screw QT-80- Figure 6. Loosen and remove the bolts from the housing cover..

DEG models 5 and 5000 have two adjustable weights with ten settings. When the two weights, the fixed and adjustable, are aligned with each other the force output is at 00%. The vibrator will produce the most force output at that configuration. At position 90, the force output is 90% of the maximum force. At position 80, the force output is 80% of the maximum force and so on.

21 X. Proper Voltage and Amperage Readings must be done before operating vibrator.! IMPORTANT Typically, motors can tolerate a 0% drop in voltage while running. Since start-up lasts only to seconds, a 0% drop should be tolerated for that short period of time when the motor is pulling higher amps. The best way to check this is to use a voltage meter at the motor. Check minimum voltage during start-up and the running voltage once the motor has reached its running speed. Assuming 0 volt motor, it needs at least 96 volts during start-up, and once the motor reaches its operational speed it needs 08 volts. When sizing an extension cord one must be careful because the extension cord is only one source of voltage drop. The power source might also fluctuate. It is best to assume the power source could fluctuate by 5%. Thus the 0 volt source might at times only provide 4 volts. Therefore, the extension cord cannot cause more than a 5% voltage drop during start-up and only a 5% drop after reaching operational speed. With a 00 4AWG copper wire extension cord, one would get a 0. voltage (6.86%) drop during motor start-up when pulling 9 amps. This means the voltage at the vibrator might be as low as 9.77 volts, too low for proper starting. Once the vibrator reaches full speed it pulls only.6 amps. The voltage drop here would be.49 volts leaving.65 volts, which should be sufficient to keep the unit running. HOWEVER, the low voltage during start-up causes excess heat that degrades the motor insulation. This effect is cumulative, so even though the vibrator starts the first, second, or third time the damage done by low voltage is building. Eventually the insulation fails and the motor will burn up. In this example only the start windings will fail prematurely, which will leave the vibrator inoperable. To further explain voltage drops pertaining to the above example: If a AWG cord is used the voltage drops will be: Start-up=.7 volts giving a net of 0. volts Run=0.849 volts giving a net of. volts This extension cord would be adequate. If a 0AWG cord is used the voltage drops will be: Start-up=8 volts giving a net of 06 volts Run=0.54 volts giving a net of.5 volts This extension cord would be better. There is a good website with a nice voltage drop calculator. If you have the wire size, length, power source voltage, and amp draw it will calculate the voltage drop. YOU MUST ALSO CHECK THE AMP DRAW. It the amp draw exceeds the manufacturer s specifications then the vibrator is probably not properly mounted. The mount may not be level or lack proper rigidity. Please follow the mounting instructions in this manual.

22 XI. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Probable Cause Solution Single phasing phase vibrators only Circuit breaker is tripped or fuse is blown. Switch or starter contact is not closing properly. Correct the problem that caused the overload to occur. See page 9 and 4. Reset breaker or replace fuse. Replace or repair starter. Conductor or wiring to vibrator is defective. Repair or replace conductor. supply malfunctions, such as the loss of one phase of a distribution transformer caused by lightning, wind, ice storms, etc. Replace damaged wiring. Replace transformer. You may have to contact local electric utility to repair their circuits. Excessive noise Vibrator mount is not rigid. Make sure mount is rigid and the vibrator is perpendicular to channel iron See pages 6-8. Tighten all bolts. Check for cracked welds or broken housing. Vibrator will not start Single phase circuit breaker (purchased separately) is tripped. Circuit is interrupted. Correct the problem that caused the overload. Reset breaker. See page 9 and 4. Make sure all leads are hot. Single phase vibrator has a damaged electronic starting switch. Replace electronic starting switch. Vibrator runs hot or overheats (Check voltage and amp draw on start-up and on run.) Excessive current (Check voltage and amp draw on start-up and on run.) Vibrator mount is not rigid Make sure mount is rigid. See pages 6-8. Tighten all bolts. Check for cracked welds or a broken housing. Single phase vibrator has damaged electronic starting switch. Voltage is low. Conductor gauge or extension cord is inadequate or too small. Stop-Start time intervals too short. The motor is restarted quickly again after stopping. Ambient temperature is too hot for vibrator. Mounting surface is not flat and motor is binding. Vibrator mount is not rigid and/or vibrator is operated on an empty bin. Single phase units - conductor wires may be inadequate, keeping start switch from disengaging starter coils. Replace electronic starting switch. Use a heavier gauge when using extension cords or conductor. See page for voltage/amp information and how to size an extension cord. The time between start-ups needs to be at least two minutes. The amperage draw at start-up is high and creates heat. A two minute time delay allows motor to cool down. Protect vibrator from ambient temperature above 04 F (40 C). Check mount plate surface. Must be flat. Use shims to level the vibrator mount if necessary. Make sure mount is rigid and the vibrator is perpendicular to channel iron. Tighten all bolts. Do not operate vibrator on an empty bin. See pages 6-8. See Voltage and Amperage information on page. Mounting surface is not flat and motor is binding. Check mount plate surface. Must be flat. Use shims to level the vibrator mount if necessary.
