– Safety regulations
2.0 SAFETY
Careful reading of this manual is highly recommended, the safety
regulations in particular.
Pay great attention to dangerous operations.
The Manufacturer declines all liability for non-compliance to
safety regulations and to accident-prevention prescriptions
described below. It also declines any responsibility for damage
caused by improper use of the vibrator or by unauthorised
modifications.
Pay attention to the danger signal present in this manual; it
precedes the signal for a potential danger.

2.1 GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

When using electrical equipment, it is necessary to adopt oppor-
tune safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury to persons. Therefore, before using the vibrator,
carefully read and memorise the following safety regulations.
After reading, preserve this manual with care.
- When using this electric vibrator, all safety rules defined here
below have to be strictly followed:
Europe
- EUROPEAN COMMUNITY DIRECTIVE 94/9/EC
- CENELEC EN 61241-14, EN 61241-17, EN 61241-19,
EN 60079-14, EN 60079-17, EN 60079-19.
U.S. & Canada
- The National Electrical Code (NEC)
- American National Standards Institute (ANSI) z244.1-1982
- Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 29, Part 1910, Part 1910.15
- Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
Russia
- GOST R 51330.13-99, GOST R 51330.16-99,
GOST R 51330.18-99.
and all Standards and Safety Law of the country where the
vibrator is used.
- Maintain the work area clean and in order. Untidy areas and
environments favour accidents.
- Before starting work, check the perfect integrity of the vibrator
and the machine to which it is applied. Check normal functioning
and that no elements are damaged or broken. The damaged or
broke parts must be repaired or replaced by authorised, trained
staff.
- Repair, or have repaired by unauthorised staff, means, operating
with unsafe and potentially dangerous equipment as well as
loosing the warranty.
- Do not touch the vibrator when functioning.
- Any type of check, control, cleaning, maintenance, change and
piece replacement, must be carried out with the vibrator and
machine switched off with the plug disconnected from the
socket.
- It is prohibited for children, unauthorised persons, unskilled
persons and persons who are not in good health to touch or use
the vibrator.
- Check that the plant power supply is in compliance with the
regulations.
- On installation, check that the power supply cable is very flexible
and ensure that the earth is connected.
- Check that the plug socket is suitable and in compliance and
has an automatic protection switch incorporated.
ENGLISH
- Any extension of the electric cable must have plugs/sockets and
cable with earth circuit as envisioned by the regulation.
- Never stop the vibrator by removing the plug from the socket and
do not pull the cable to remove the plug from the socket.
- Periodically check integrity of the cable. Replace it if not integral.
This operation must only be carried out by authorised, trained
staff.
- Only use admitted and marked extension cables.
- Protect the cable from high temperatures, lubricants and sharp
corners. Prevent coiling and knotting of the cable.
- Do not allow children and unauthorised persons to touch the
cable with the plug inserted.
- If the insertion of a vibrator onto a machine causes the sound
level, established by the regulations in force in the country in
which it is to be used, to be exceeded, operators must use
adequate protection to protect their hearing e.g. earphones.
- Even if vibrators are planned to work at low temperatures, in
particularly hot environments the temperature of the vibrators
may reach very high values which are induced by the environment
itself.
Wait for the vibrator to cool before intervening.
- Only authorised tools that are described in the instructions or
shown in the Manufacturers catalogue can be used. Ignoring
this advice means operating unsafe and potentially dangerous
equipment.
- Repairs must only be carried out by staff authorised by the
Manufacturer. The Manufacturer is however at complete
disposal to ensure immediate and accurate technical
assistance and all that is necessary for good functioning and
maximum performance of the
SECTION 3

Handling and installation

–
The vibrator may be supplied without packaging or palletised
according to its type and size.
To handle the unit, if palletised, use a forklift truck or transpallet with
forks. If it is not packed exclusively use the rods or hoisting eye-
bolts (Fig. 1, page 7).
If the vibrator must be stored for a long period of time (up to a max.
of two years), the storage environment must have an environmental
temperature that is not less than + 5°C and with relative humidity
not exceeding 60%.
After two years storage of vibrators with roller bearings re-greasing
must take place according to the quantity of re-lubrication indicated
in the table on page 87.
After three years storage of vibrators with ball bearings the bearings
must be completely replaced; for vibrators with roller bearings the
old grease must be entirely removed and replaced completely with
new grease.
When handling the unit avoid blows or vibrations to prevent
damage to the rolling bearings.

3.0 BEFORE INSTALLATION

If the vibrator has been stored for a long period of time (more than
2 years), before installation remove one of the weight covers (Fig.
4, page 7) and check that the shaft turns freely (Fig. 5, page 7).
The electrical insulation of every individual phase to earth, and
between phases, is necessary and indispensable.
To control electrical insulation only use the Megger Insulation
Tester at the test voltage of 2.2 Kv ac and for a time that does not
exceed 5 seconds between phases and 10 seconds between
phase and earth (Fig. 6, page 7).
If anomalies result from the control, the vibrator must be sent to an
ITALVIBRAS Assistance Centre or to ITALVIBRAS itself, for
restoration of efficiency.
