1. Technical data
1.1. Functional description
The compact design of the control unit can supply all RNA-control units up to a load current of 6 ampere. It is intended
for individual installation directly at the oscillating drive and completely pluggable. The correcting range for the potenti-
ometer in the front plate has been adjusted in the factory at a reference drive and allows the adjustment of the output
voltage from 40 to 280 volteff .
The illuminated rocking switch in the front plate separates the control unit with 2 poles from the mains. For frequent
switching or operation with a superordinated control unit there is the possibility of wattless disconnection by means a
potential-free contact as well as by 16-30VDC voltage signal. The intervention into the device necessary for that is
described under point 3.5, Release of the function by external components.
The soft start, a time-controlled bringing-up of power to the adjusted value after switching on, is fixed with approx. 0.5
seconds. If necessary this time can be changed in the device.

2. Safety notes
The safety notes shall in any case be read and understood. Their observance secures the conservation of valuable
material and avoids health impairment.
The symbol of the pointing hand is shown in these operating instructions at points, which must be particu-
larly observed, so that recommendations, regulations, notes and the correct procedure of work can be ob-
served, as well as damage and destruction of the machine and/or other equipment parts is avoided.
Electric danger, eg. at work under voltage
Work at electrical equipment of the machine/equipment may only be carried out by a qualified electrician or
by trained personnel under direction and supervision of a qualified electrician according to the electronic
regulations!
All safety and danger notes at the machine / equipment must be observed!!
The electrical equipment of a machine / equipment must be examined regularly. Faults, eg. loose connec-
tions or damaged cables, must be eliminated immediately!
Before opening the device unplug the power plug!
3. Information for starting.
Before the mains connection is made and the control unit is switched on, the following points must in any
case be checked:
•Is the control unit closed properly and with all screws?
•Are the existing plug fixing devices locked into place/screwed down?
•Are all cables and ducts undamaged?
•Is the INTENDED USE guaranteed?
•Does the mains voltage indication comply with the local power supply network?
•Does the mains frequency indication at the oscillating drive comply with the local power supply net-
work?
Is the correct operating mode set at the control unit? (on that read explanation operating mode)
Only if all above mentioned questions can be answered with yes, the control unit can be put into operation.
At initial starts or starts after repair work or exchange of control units/oscillating drives the minimum output
should be set at the control unit before switching on the device. When bringing up the output it must be
taken care for correct function.

3.1. Explanations on the term OPERATING MODE
RNA - Oscillating drives are mechanical spring vibrators, which, according to weight and/or size, are adjusted to an
oscillating frequency near the mains frequency. Two operating modes are possible:
1. Asymmetrical half-wave operation - the oscillating
drive operates with mains frequency.
2. Symmetrical full-wave operation - the oscillating
drive operates with double mains frequency.
From that the following details result for the oscillating frequency:
Mains frequency
50 Hz
60 Hz
Operating mode 1
Oscillating frequency50 Hz = 3000 min-1
Oscillating frequency 60 Hz = 3600 min-1
Operating mode 2
Oscillating frequency 100 Hz = 6000 min-1
Oscillating frequency 120 Hz = 7200 min-1
At a mains with 50 Hz only oscillating drives with 50 Hz or 100 Hz oscillating frequency can be operated, at a mains with
60 Hz, however, only oscillating drives with 60 H7 or 120 Hz oscilllating frequency. The control unit can operate in both
operating modes. It must, however, be switched into the correct operating mode. The mains frequency is of no im-
portance for the control unit.
3.2. Switching over to a different mains voltage
The selection of the operating mode takes place by entering a code into the load plug of the oscillating drive. A jumper
in the plug from connection 3 to 4 switches the control unit into operating mode 2: 100 or 120 Hz. If this connection is
missing, the control unit operates in the operating mode 1: 50 or 60 Hz.
As a standard oscillating transport units are provided with the correct code in the plug. To assist the user, the threaded
cable fitting has distinguishing colours on the connector jack for better recognition
BLACK for operating mode 1, 50 Hz or 60 Hz, GREY for operating mode 2, 100 Hz or 120 Hz.

3.3. Setting the minimum and maximum output voltage
The control units have been adjusted in the factory at a reference drive. In special cases or after modifications a read-
justment may become necessary. Here it must in any case be observed:
The output voltage can only be measured with an oscillating drive being connected!
The measuring device must be designed for real effective measurement. (True-RMS), other measuring
devices indicate random values. The load plug must be plugged in, as otherwise the measurement possibly
takes place in the wrong measuring mode.
As the adjustment of the output voltage requires feeding of the mains voltage, the following safety note is very important:
Feed the supply voltage only by means of a safety transformer! Carry out the measurements in the
rooms/zones permitted for that. This measurement requires the employment of qualified professionals.
After the measuremtn the control device must be put back into the original condition, as otherwise the re-
lease of series is stopped!
Important is the remark that the adjusting devices for the output voltage are not reactionless towards each other. I. e.
that at a change of the maximum voltage the minimum voltage is slightly changed as well - and vice versa. That possibly
means a repeated adjustment of both trimming potentiometers.
3.4. Switching over to a different mains voltage
The control unit can be operated at 230 V, 50/60 Hz as well as at 115 V, 50/60 Hz, must, however, be switched over to
this voltage,
Changing from 230V to 115V:
Take the plug out of the electrical socket and open the device on the right side. Toggle the switch and close the side of
the device. Test run. UMAX may have to be re-adjusted.
(See the layout plan for the adjustable parts, figure 3)
3.5. Releasing the function by external components
The standard adjustment of the control unit provides that the oscillating drive starts, when the mains switch is
switched on. Should it be preferred that the control unit work in start-stop operation, then the control unit should be
opened —observing all of the precautionary measures listed above —and the jumper S1 re-plugged; see layout
plan, figure 3. Remove the dummy plugs on the side of the casing and install a threaded cable fitting M16 with
strain-relief; the cable will be fed through here for release. Release is achieved in two possible ways:
Release by a contact
This simple, cost-efficient solution works in a way that the control unit is released by making the contact and the oscil-
lating drive operates. The connection is made at the terminals 33 - 34. Some points should be observed:
•The connection is fed with mains voltage! Cable type and colour, insulation regulations must be observed, the
contact must of course be potential-free.
•Starting at 2 m and above, the cable must be shielded; the shielding is situated on one side of the control unit on
the protective earth conductor.
•The cable length should not exceed 5 meter.
•The cable may not be installed in immediate neighbourhood to high-energy switching equipments or strong inter-
ference fields.
3.6. Canging the soft start time
The soft start, the time-controlled bringing up of the output to the adjusted value is an effective protection for the oscil-
lating drive against magnet impacts. At small oscillating drives, which start with high cycle times, the standard time is
not necessary in any case, it does even impede the production flow. At the trimmer SOFT START the run-up time can
be adjusted. As the case must be opened for this change as well, the safety notes mentioned above should be ober-
served.

Freigabe
When replacing the fuse the preset value of M 6,3 A is to be used in any case. A fuse which is rated too
high can lead to breakage of the conrol unit.
Release by voltage signal
The connection is done on the fasteners 31 (GND) and 32 (+24 VDC). The drive starts, when a signal is fed between
10- and 30-volt direct current in correct polarity. The input is protected against faulty polarity. The use of an optocoupler
in the control unit makes the input potential-free and allows the installation with unscreened cables of nearly any length.
Here too high-energy interferences should be avoided.
