This bulletin should be used by experienced personnel as a guide to the installation of the Model 017-00464P vibration switch.
Selection or installation of equipment should always be accompanied by competent technical assistance. We encourage you to
contact Evapco or its local representative if further information is required.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE PROCEEDING TO INSTALL AND WIRE THE UNIT, READ AND THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THE SWITCH MODEL NUMBER SHOULD BE CHECKED TO CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT HAZARDOUS
AREA RATING FOR YOUR APPLICATION. SEE HOW TO ORDER INFORMATION "A".
ELECTRICAL RESET AND STARTUP LOCKOUT:
The optional electrical reset circuit consists of an electri-
cal solenoid in series with a thermistor. If the rated volt-
age is continuously applied to the reset circuit at machine
startup, the reset solenoid energizes for a fixed time in-
terval (approx. 30 sec.), after which time the solenoid is
automatically de-energized by the thermistor. This action
provides a trip lockout during machine startup rough-
ness. The voltage must be removed from the reset cir-
cuit when the machine is stopped to allow the thermistor
to cool off. The switch mechanism can then be reset
electrically by a momentary application of the reset volt-
age or it can be reset manually.
NOTE: If the machine is restarted immediately after a
shutdown, the lockout period will be shortened because
the thermistor will be hot. An increase in the ambient
temperature will also shorten the lockout period.
INSTALLATION:
1) The sensitive axis of the vibration switch is perpendicular to the
mounting base. The preferred mounting is with the sensitive axis in
the horizontal plane, since most machines vibrate more in that
plane. Mount the switch solidly to the frame of the machine.
2) Remove the cover and wire the switch(es) into the alarm or shut-
down circuit. Extra care should be taken to not damage the
spring mounted on the underside of the cover. Damage to this
spring could prevent the switch from being reset. Do not exceed
switch contact ratings listed in the specifications. Keep field wiring
away from the moving part of the mechanism.
3) Observe all local electrical codes.
Observe the following for ATEX installations:
4) All power must be switched off before opening of the enclosure in
an explosive atmosphere.
5) The Vibration Switch must be electrical connected by means of a
flameproof cable gland or stopping box certified to EN 50018.
6) For ambient temperatures below –10°C and above +60°C use
field wiring suitable for both minimum and maximum ambient tem-
perature.
7) Reinstall the cover by first insuring the sealing gasket is in place
and properly seated in the grove in the housing. Place the cover on
the unit and install the four cover bolts. Torque the four bolts to 16ft/
lbs. Caution should be used to not over torque the bolts as this could
damage the housing and compromise the seal.
8) The temporary conduit entry plugs are placed in the housing to
provide physical protection for the treads during shipping. Once the
unit is installed in the field these plugs must be replaced. These tem-
porary plugs do not provide adequate environmental protection for
the switch when installed in the field.
SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT:
1) The vibration setpoint adjustment is accessible externally. Turn-
ing the setpoint adjustment clockwise (CW) increases the vibration
setpoint.
2) When the switch is shipped from the factory, the setpoint adjust-
ment is set to 2g when installed in the vertical position and 1g when
installed in the horizontal position (with reference to the setpoint
adjustment shaft).
3) To check factory calibration, place unmounted unit in your hand
and rotate per diagram D. The switch(es) should activate at dead
bottom position. If necessary, adjust setpoint using the setpoint
adjustment screw.
4) To preset switch at other than factory setpoint, start with step
three (3) and then rotate adjustment screw 1/8 turn per g until you
reach the required set point.
5) To adjust setpoint when installed on the machine, mount and wire
the unit. Reset the switch by depressing the reset plunger and start
the machine. When the machine has reached full speed, slowly turn
the vibration setpoint adjustment counter-clockwise until the switch
trips. Then turn the adjustment clockwise a small amount (approx.
1/8 turn). Reset the switch and restart the machine to determine
whether the machine starting roughness will cause the switch to trip,
in which case it may be necessary to increase the setpoint.
