1. INTRODUCTION
NOTE:
The present manual is updated for the product it is sold with in order to grant an adequate
reference in operating and maintaining the equipment.
The manual may not reflect changes to the product not impacting service operations.
This electro-mechanical sieve shaker features efficient sieving action, heavy duty and
simple design.
Main features of the equipment are:
xDouble-effect electro-mechanical sieve;
xSuitable for up to 12 sieves 200/203 mm dia. or 12 sieves 250 mm dia or 10 sieves
300/315 mm dia;
xErgonomic and fast clamping system;
xTimer function included.
The series of sieves is held at the top by a rubber spherical seat and rotates eccentrically
at the bottom ensuring uniform shaking of the sample across the whole surface of the
sieves.
Upon each revolution, a simple mechanical mechanism imparts hits at the base of the
sieves so as to re-set the sample material on the sieves and guarantee a very efficient
overall sieving action.

1.4 Intended use and improper use
The machine can only be used for sieve analysis of aggregates using sieves of the
specified diameter and with maximum quantity of aggregates indicated, in order to obtain
the particle size distribution.
The equipment is designed to be used by a single operator, who is in charge of loading-
unloading the sieves and the material to sieve.
During normal operation the working area of the equipment is the front side where the
operator’s controls and the display are located.
The operator is responsible for switching on the machine, carrying out the operations for
which the machine was designed and manufactured, switching off the machine at the end
of the test or in the case of an emergency.
The operator must be trained on the correct use of the machine and the relative safety
aspects of its use.
The machine should be used following the procedures described in this manual.
Never use the machine for reasons other than those for which it was designed and
manufactured. Any other use of the machine is to be considered improper, not foreseen
and hence dangerous.
CONTROLS will not be responsible for improper use of the machine.

The following table lists those parts of the equipment that may present some residual
risks for the safety of the personnel if the instructions provided in this manual are not
duly followed.
Personnel Area with residual risks
Operator Area between the external frame of the headframe and the shafts of the
sieves clamping mechanism during the functioning of the equipment; keep
the hands away from this area.
Noise generated by the material contained into the sieves during the
functioning of the equipment; sse proper hearing protection devices (e.g. ear
plugs or ear muffs).
Technical personnel Above listed areas
Areas around compartments closed by removable panels
Areas around compartments that contain electrical parts
For continued fire protection, replace fuses with same type and rating. Also,
in case of failure, components may only be replaced by using original spare
parts. It is in the responsibility of the purchaser to insure that fire prevention
policies are properly implemented according to the CE provisions.
Personnel
responsible of
transportation and
moving of the
equipment
Raising and moving of the equipment from the wooden crate must be

Here follows a list of all WARNINGs present in the manual; please see relevant chapters
for full details on each related safety issue.
WARNING:
When operating with the covers open/removed and the unit is attached to the mains line,
care must be taken as high voltage is present in some parts of the unit (e.g. electrical
panel). Only authorized and qualified service technicians are allowed to open /remove
covers.
WARNING:
All safety devices must be functional at all times. Damaged protective covers or devices
must be replaced immediately. When safety components are replaced, the protective
devices are to be properly attached and tested. Any manipulation of the safety devices
endangers the operating personnel.
WARNING:
Raising and moving of the equipment must be performed by people properly trained and
equipped with suitable personal protection devices (e.g. gloves, helmet, etc.). Failure to
follow the instructions above may endanger the personnel involved.
WARNING:
The wooden crate is high; be careful in balancing while raising it.
WARNING:
If the instructions to remove the equipment from the shipping box are not carefully
followed, damages to the equipment cabinet may result. This will void the warranty terms
of the equipment.
WARNING:
Do not stand under suspended loads
WARNING:
Considering the weight of the equipment and the footprint (see chapter 2.3), check the
maximum allowed floor load before installation.

WARNING:
Make sure to use proper fixing bolts according to the type of floor of the installation
place. CONTROLS cannot be considered responsible in case of injures to the operator or
damages to the equipment if the above instructions are not duly followed.
WARNING:
If the equipment is brought from a cold environment into a heated room, condensation on
and in the unit can constitute a danger and lead to malfunctioning of the unit when
started. Wait to connect and operate the unit until it is at room temperature.
WARNING:
The general grounding must comply with the rules in force; a wrong quality of the
grounding could be dangerous for the operator’s safety and cause bad function of the
electrical devices.
WARNING:
Covers/doors can only be removed/opened by maintenance people, by using relevant
tools/keys. These tools and keys are for use by maintenance personnel only. Never leave
the tools and keys attached to the unit as this may endanger operator safety.
After performing maintenance/repair, make sure that all covers/doors are properly closed
and locked.
WARNING:
Do not use the sieve shaker when empty.
Ensure that the sieves are correctly placed and blocked in position on the shaker.
WARNING:
The noise level will vary depending upon the material being sieved. In some cases,
sieving dry aggregates, the noise level may be disturbing; it is therefore recommended the
use of personal protection devices (e.g. ear plugs or ear muffs).
WARNING:
In the CONTINUOUS mode the sieve shaker will continue to function until stopped
manually (by pressing STOP). We recommend that this mode is only used with the
operator present and in any case do not use the machine for more than 30 minutes of
continuous use. If longer sieving times are necessary, it is necessary to check the correct
blockage of the sieves after 30 minutes of sieving action. (see chapter 4.1).

Failing to perform the recommended maintenance actions or maintenance performed by
unauthorized people can void the warranty.
CONTROLS will not be responsible for maintenance and service actions performed by
unauthorized people.
WARNING:
Before opening/removing the covers, disconnect the mains supply to the device and wait
at least 5 minutes.
WARNING:
For continued fire protection, replace fuses with same type and rating. Also, in case of
failure, components may only be replaced by using original spare parts. It is in the
responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that fire prevention policies are properly
implemented according to the CE provisions.
WARNING:
Avoid pouring water, even accidentally, or other liquids into the device, as this could
cause short circuits. Before cleaning the device, disconnect it from the mains line.
WARNING:
Refer to qualified service organization authorized by CONTROLS to carry out the
maintenance actions described in the chapter “Authorized service engineer maintenance
action”. CONTROLS has not to be held responsible for damages to the equipment and/or
