1Safety instructions
Notes on symbols and instructions
Symbols: Assembly and commissioning must be carried out by qualified per-
sonnel only and according to these operating instructions.
Please observe the meaning of the following symbols and notes. They are grouped
into risk levels and classified according to ISO 3864-2.
DANGER
Indicates an immediate threatening danger.
Non-compliance with this information can result in death or seri-
ous personal injuries (invalidity).
WARNING
Indicates a possible dangerous situation.
Non-compliance with this information can result in death or seri-
ous personal injuries (invalidity).
CAUTION
Indicates a possibly dangerous situation.
Non-compliance with this information can result in damage to
property or light to medium personal injuries.
NOTE
Indicates general notes, useful operator tips and operating rec-
ommendations which don’t affect safety and health of the person-
nel.

Basic safety information
This description contains the necessary information for the correct application of the
product described below. It is intended for use by technically qualified personnel.
Qualified personnel are persons who, because of their training, experience and posi-
tion as well as their knowledge of appropriate standards, regulations, health and
safety requirements and working conditions, are authorised to be responsible for the
safety of the equipment, at all times, whilst carrying out their normal duties and are
therefore aware of, and can report, possible hazards (Definition of qualified employ-
ees according to IEC 364).
DANGER
Hazardous Voltage! Failure to observe can kill, cause serious in-
jury or damage.
•Isolate from mains before installation or dismantling work, as well as for fuse
changes or post installation modifications.
•Observe the prescribed accident prevention and safety rules for the specific
application.
•Before putting into operation check if the rated voltage for the unit conforms
with the local supply voltage.
•Emergency stop devices must be provided for all applications. Operation of
the emergency stop must inhibit any further uncontrolled operation.
•Electrical connections must be covered.
•The earth connection must be checked for correct function, after installation.
Specified use
The units described herein are electrical controllers for installation in industrial plants.
They are designed for power adjustment on vibratory feed equipment.
NOTE
Any other use is inappropriate and will result in the warranty be-
coming null and void.

2Description of the device
General
The electronic frequency control device SIGA is used to realize a continuous control
of inductive loads like spiral conveyor, linear conveyor and hopper.
The control device works according to the pulse-width modulation (PWM) within the
half waves, the period can be adjusted between 20Hz and 99 Hz. The transporting
capacity can be diversified by setting the magneto-motive force via the input key-
board to a value between 10 - 99%. You can also pro-gram via the keyboard that the
nominal value can also be adjusted via an external analogue tension 0-10VDC, ana-
logue current 4-20 mA or a potentiometer.
The width of the sinusoidal output voltage (half waves) depends on the period ad-
justed and is thus constant. The width of the clocked impulse in this sinusoidal output
voltage can be adjusted stepless in the range of the positive resp. negative half wave
via keyboard input or via the externally determined nominal value. This adjusts the
voltage-time surface of the out-put voltage. For oscillating conveyors the oscillating
frequency can be adjusted variably between 20-99Hz, in the standard configuration
the adjustment will be made via the keyboard.
When the operating voltage has been switched on the integrated, adjustable smooth
start will be made after a forced dead time and guarantees a smoothened run up of
the output voltage up to the adjusted voltage level. Via a limiter stage at the switch-
on moment the charging current is limited to capacities of 4A. This eliminates possi-
ble switch-on peaks. Also the smooth start as well as the smooth run-out will become
effective via the control input or the keyboard when the output voltage is switched on
or off. In this way the transporting capacity can be increased or decreased in a time-
dependent way. So bulk material that has already been positioned will not lose its
position. Both time values can be adjusted separately.
The control input makes it possible to have the device switched on or off by another
system (SPS, approach switch, sensor etc.)
The control device provides its own supply voltage of +24 V DC for this purpose. It is
also possible to switch the device on or off via external voltage of + 24 VDC. This in-
put internally influences the PWM.
The control input control the runtime of the oscillating conveyor in a way that avoid
unnecessary runtimes.
You can determine via the keyboard whether the device is to work in the opener
mode or in the closer mode.
NOTE
Miniature magnets can also be operated safely at the IRG 1-S con-
troller!

CAUTION
In the case of applications that require the oscillation conveyor to
be switched ON and OFF constantly (e.g. dust switching, hopper
control system, etc.), the prescribed controller input must be
used. If the load circuit is disconnected with a switch or a relay
the controller may be damaged.
If the controller is switched on, never insert or remove the plug at
the vibration conveyor being operated. This can damage the ap-
pliance.
NOTE
Repairs may only be carried out by qualified technicians. We rec-
ommend that all repairs are carried out by the manufacturer
WARNING
Procedure by the high-voltage test.
-L and N have to be together related.
-Test voltage must not higher be as 1000V AC.
-Each controller must be individual checked.
At noncompliance above mentioned criteria can take the frequency-
control-device of damage and goes out the guarantee!

3Assembly instructions
Installing the unit
There are four holes on the underside for mounting the controller. The holes are sep-
arated from the interior of the housing.
-Unscrew the cover fastening screws.
-Remove the cover.
-Insert the fastening screws into the channels and use them to attach the con-
troller to a vibration-free base.
-The drive cable has to be shielded
Connection possibilities
NOTE
The connection between control device and oscillating conveying
unit must be realized with a shielded cable!
