Instructions references for the metal separator
Trouble-free and safe operation of the Mesep Extractor 38..70 Metal Separator is only
possible, if the following points are observed.
4.1. Assembly instructions
•
Fastening must be performed in such a way that none of the screws or other fastening
materials can become loose unintentionally.
•
The device may not be dismantled for assembly. The assembly must be carried out as
a complete unit.
•
No welding current may be allowed to flow through the housing on the metal separator
under any circumstances! This would permanently destroy the metal separator!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The devices are not 100% airtight due to production-related reasons. Therefore, a very
slight loss of air can be expected (approx. 17mbar at 16m/sec. air velocity). Thus, the
suction-type conveyor system should have sufficient capacity reserves to compensate for
this loss, so that the conveying of material is not affected and sufficient material can be
conveyed to the machines.
The losing of compressed air
cannot
be heard acoustically (no hissing noises). The
escaping air involved is minimal. All the devices are checked to ensure they are
sufficiently leakproof before leaving the factory. An impairment in the system has occurred
in some cases if several devices were assembled simultaneously. Thus, it is necessary to
clarify this prior to the installation of more than five devices at one time, to prevent any
difficulties. Connection Instructions
•
Ensure the mains voltage is the proper one.
•
Installation and connections may only be performed by trained staff.
•
Observe the installation requirements for erecting and operating electrical plant (VDE
0100).
•
Never carry out any work when the metal separator is switched on!
•
Carry out all protective measures for persons and machinery in accordance with the
circumstances and regulations.
•
Take the capacities of the output contacts into consideration.
•
The metal separator must be well grounded (avoid star-shaped earth circuits, shortest
link to main earth).
4.2. Operating instructions
The metal separator should remain switched on at all times. That way, the electronic
circuits have the longest service life.
