Product catalog summary
Intended Use
The VIBTRONIC connector sets, types SA...-2 and SAE...-2, are designed as alternating voltage regulators for controlling magnetic vibrators using phase regulation. They are suitable for mains networks with 50 or 60 Hz frequency and sinusoidal voltage. These sets should not be used in explosive environments.
Safety Information
The manual highlights three types of safety symbols: DANGER for life-threatening risks, WARNING for potential equipment damage, and NOTE for additional information. Users must ensure no contact with live components and avoid using the sets in explosive environments.
Copyright and Liability
The manual and the VIBTRONIC connector sets are copyright protected by AVITEQ Vibrationstechnik GmbH. Reproduction requires written consent. The manual is verified for accuracy, but the publisher is not liable for damages resulting from its application.
Table of Contents Overview
The manual includes sections on general notices, transport, function description, installation, commissioning, maintenance, troubleshooting, and an index.
Installation and Commissioning
Installation should be performed by qualified personnel. The manual provides detailed instructions for mechanical and electrical installation, including connection diagrams and safety precautions.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Regular maintenance is advised to prevent issues. The troubleshooting section provides guidance on identifying and resolving common faults.
Contact Information
For questions or installation issues, contact AVITEQ Vibrationstechnik GmbH at their Hattersheim, Germany office.
Product Liability and Warranty
The connector sets are designed for long service life and adhere to current engineering standards. They are tested for guaranteed functions before delivery. AVITEQ Vibrationstechnik GmbH offers a 12-month warranty from the delivery date, provided the operating manual is followed. Warranty exclusions include unauthorized manipulation, inappropriate use, and non-compliance with safety notices. The products are not intended for use in the USA or under US laws.
Fields of Application
VIBTRONIC connector sets are used with AVITEQ magnetic vibrators or compatible models. They should not be used in explosive environments, extreme temperatures, or high altitudes. Only compatible devices should be connected to avoid damage.
Maintenance and Repair
The connector sets contain no serviceable components and should not be opened. In case of failure, they should be sent to AVITEQ for repair. High voltages present a danger when connected to mains.
Installation and Operating Personnel
Installation and maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with the operating manual. AVITEQ assumes no responsibility for negligence.
Transport, Delivery, Disposal
Connector sets are delivered in protective packaging. Storage should be in normal conditions to prevent damage. Upon delivery, check for completeness and damage. Disposal should follow local regulations, and AVITEQ offers a return guarantee for certain models.
Function Description
Connector sets operate on voltage regulation principles and are designed for specific oscillation rates and mains frequencies. They support various regulation types, including voltage and working stroke regulation. The command value for the working stroke can be preset using a potentiometer or external control input.
Overview of VIBTRONIC Connector Sets
Series and Specifications: Three series of VIBTRONIC connector sets are available, each with different characteristics:
  • Type SU(E): No voltage regulation, suitable for currents up to 6 A.
  • Type SC(E): Includes voltage regulation, suitable for currents up to 14 A.
  • Type SA(E): Includes voltage and working stroke regulation, suitable for currents up to 43 A.
Note: This document focuses on the SA(E)...-2 series.
Models: The connector sets come in sizes F, G, and H, with two main variants:
  • Cabinet Unit (SA...): Enclosed housing for wall or frame mounting, with front-side controls.
  • Panel Mounting Unit (SAE...): Controller block for installation in switching cabinets.
Technical data for these models are detailed in Table 3-a, including mains frequency, vibration frequency, nominal voltage, and current.
Installation Instructions:
Mechanical Installation:
  • Panel Mounting Unit: Install vertically in switching cabinets, ensuring no voltage is present before installation. Avoid heat sources and ensure ambient temperature does not exceed +50°C.
  • Cabinet Unit: Suitable for vertical wall or frame mounting, with similar precautions regarding temperature and vibration sensitivity.

Binding Post Assignment: Detailed instructions are provided for connecting magnetic vibrators, vibration sensors, and external control inputs. Key points include:
  • Ensure proper connections to avoid damage.
  • Use shielded signal lines for electromagnetic compatibility if lines exceed five meters.
  • Specific configurations for dosing and filling processes are recommended.

Electrical Connection: Only trained personnel should perform electrical connections, adhering to safety regulations. Key components include mains fuse protection and connection diagrams.
Additional Features:
  • Vibration-Width Adjuster: Operated with a linear potentiometer, included in the delivery.
  • Actual-Value Display: Optional digital display for working stroke, with specific connection and installation instructions.
Specifications and Installation
The document outlines the installation of solder bridges for decimal point settings as per Figure 4.3. The scaling factor can be adjusted by approximately ±20% using potentiometer PI for measurement-value matching. Dimensions and measurement inputs are detailed in Figure 4.14. The installation steps include switching off the current supply, fitting the front cutout, installing the display, soldering connections, and fine-tuning with potentiometer PI. The display has IP 00 protection on the rear and IP 50 on the front.
Electrical Connection to the Magnetic Vibrator
A connection diagram is provided in Chapter 4.3.2 (Figure 4.11). Connections must be made between mains, connector set, command value circuit, and magnetic vibrator. The connector sets comply with EMC directive 89/336/EWG and standards EN 50081-2 and EN 50082-2. The maximum permissible line length is 300 m, and the voltage drop must not exceed 5%.
Commissioning
The commissioning process is detailed for both AVITEQ and non-AVITEQ magnetic vibrators. For AVITEQ vibrators, follow the operating manual and ensure the DIP switch block is correctly set. For non-AVITEQ vibrators, check and adjust the mains voltage as necessary. The commissioning process involves setting a small working stroke initially and gradually increasing it while monitoring for hammering noises.
Maintenance
The connector sets are generally maintenance-free but should be checked for dust accumulation, which can affect cooling and cause short circuits. Regular cleaning is recommended, and precautions should be taken to prevent dust-air mixtures from becoming explosive.
Troubleshooting
This section provides guidance on addressing issues that may arise during installation and commissioning. Users are advised not to disassemble the connector set as it poses life-threatening risks and may damage the device.
Specifications and Standards:
The document outlines the specifications for AVITEQ Vibrationstechnik's connector sets for magnetic vibrators, including compliance with European directives on electromagnetic compatibility (89/336/EWG and updates). It confirms adherence to harmonized standards EN 50081-2 and EN 50082-2, with full technical documentation available.
Faults and Remedies:
A detailed table lists potential faults during installation or operation, their causes, and remedies. Common issues include no mains voltage, blown fuses, interrupted supply lines, and defective components. Solutions range from replacing fuses and correcting interruptions to consulting AVITEQ for repairs.
Help by Telephone:
AVITEQ offers telephone support for fault determination and correction. A checklist is provided to gather necessary information before contacting support, including device type, number, and operational history.
Installation and Maintenance:
The document includes sections on installation, maintenance, and operational guidelines. It emphasizes the importance of correct connector set selection and settings, as well as regular checks for secure connections and absence of obstructions.
Safety and Compliance:
Safety notices in the operating manual must be observed. The document includes an EC Declaration of Conformity, certifying compliance with specified standards and directives, though it does not guarantee specific characteristics.
Index:
An index is provided for quick reference to topics such as fault causes, maintenance, safety, and technical specifications.
