Chapter 2: Installation » These installation instructions are intended for people with skills in electrical and mechanical areas due to their training, experience and received instructions. Personnel using these installation instructions must be educated about regulations for accident prevention, operating conditions and safety regulations. Make sure all personnel are informed accordingly. The installation instructions provided in the corresponding operating instructions apply for all connected equipment.
2-1 General Information Unpack all parts of the single conveyor unit and make sure that every thing is available: • conveyor hopper with level sensor (1) • control and maintenance unit (2) • one venturi assembly (3) • one section of vinyl flexible hose (4) with two hose clamps • compressed-air hose • operating instructions The XSV-05/2R comes with two venturi assemblies. The XSV-05/2R comes with two sets of vinyl flexible hose and four hose clamps.
2-2 Installing the Conveyor Hopper The single conveyor unit is insensitive to shocks and can be installed directly on the processing machine. Make sure that all connections are tight so that the conveying performance is not impaired. The conveyor hopper is equipped with a universal flange. Depending on the position, drill the holes for fastening the conveyor hopper to the processing machine. Mount the conveyor hopper on the processing machine.
2-3 Installing the Control and Maintenance Unit Install the control and maintenance unit at a freely accessible site. Check the length of the connection cable and the length of the supplied hoses to the venturi assemblies. Figure 2: Control and Maintenance Unit During installation, check the length of the air supply lines.
2-4 Connecting the Compressed Air Supply Before connecting the compressed air supply, check the following: Check compressed air piping for correct installation and assembly. Check the fittings, length and quality of the hose connections for agreement with requirements. Check all compressed air lines for leakages. You need a compressed air supply with 70-90 psi (5-6 bar) system pressure. The air should be free of oil and water. 1. Find the compressed air hose, which has been supplied. 2.
2-5 Electrical Connection Check with the local electricity board for regulations. The operating voltage is 110 V, AC, PE, 50/60 Hz. Special voltages available by request. The connected load is approximately 15 W. The connection is made using a mains connector. A separate protection of the socket is not necessary. Connect the plug of the sensor cable to the control unit. Plug the main connector into a corresponding socket.
Chapter 3: Functional Description This functional description is intended for the operating personnel of the equipment. General knowledge of operating conveyor units is required. Ensure in each case that the operating personnel are sufficiently informed. The XSV-05/R and XSV-05/2R are designed for conveying dust-free plastic granules and regrind material. Only the XSV-05/2R is capable of conveying two materials. 3-1 Method of Functioning The single conveyor unit works according to the Venturi Principle.
3-2 Control and Maintenance Unit A. The unit is switched ON and OFF at the control and maintenance unit. B. At the regulator, the operating pressure is adjusted. A water separator is integrated. C. Regularly inspect the compressed air filter to make sure that it is clean and functioning properly. Clean or replace this filter as needed. For information, see Section 5-1: Maintenance.
Chapter 4: Setup » This chapter is intended for the operating personnel of the equipment. General knowledge of operating conveyor units is required. The functional description must be read and understood. Make sure that in each case the operating personnel are sufficiently informed. 4-1 Preparations Check to see if the venturi assembly is inserted in the material to be conveyed. Switch the compressed air supply ON at the compressed air source.
4-3 Basic Setting of the Filling Level in the Conveyor Hopper The filling level in the conveyor hopper is mainly determined by the level sensor. Figure 6: Conveyor Hopper Filling Level Too Low 1. Using a screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw of the level sensor (A) ¼ rotation counter-clockwise. 2. Check the filling level during the next conveying procedure. 3. Repeat the process until the desired filling level in the conveyor hopper is reached. Filling Level Too High 1.
Fine Adjustment of the Filling Level in the Conveyor Hopper Before the fine adjustment, carry through a basic adjustment. During operation, use a screwdriver to carefully turn the adjustment screw (A) of the level sensor until the desired filling level is reached. Clockwise rotation makes the filling level fall. Counter-clockwise rotation makes the filling level rise.
Chapter 5: Maintenance This chapter is intended for persons with skills in electrical and mechanical areas due to their training and experience. Personnel using the information in this chapter must be educated about accident prevention, operating conditions, and safety regulations. Make sure that all personnel are informed accordingly. For maintenance work taking place at heights of over approx. 6 ft., use only ladders or similar equipment and working platforms intended for this purpose.
Disconnect the equipment from main electrical supply before starting maintenance procedures to ensure that it cannot be switched on unintentionally. Depressurize all compressed air piping of the equipment before starting maintenance work. Please observe the maintenance intervals. Before starting maintenance work, clean the equipment of oil, fuel or lubricants. Ensure that materials and incidentals required for operation as well as spare parts are disposed of properly and in an environmentally sound manner.
5-2 Cleaning/Replacing the Filter Cartridge Switch the unit OFF. Disconnect the main electrical plug.
Disassembly 1. Remove the filter cartridge (A). 2. Blow out the filter cartridge (A) from the inside out using compressed air or replace the filter. 3. Open the toggle-type fastener (B) and fold the hopper lid upward (C). 4. Check the screen (D) within the lid for material residue. (If you are disassembling the screen for cleaning, draw the screen out of the fit of the gasket ring). 5. Clean the screen (D) using compressed air. 6. Replace the screen and gasket ring as needed if damage you detect damage.
5-4 Troubleshooting PROBLEM REMEDY (See Test Steps Below) The unit is not conveying and is not active. A, B, G, H The unit is not conveying; the compressed air valve is switched when the device is switched on. C, F The unit is not conveying; the compressed air is flowing. C, D, E, F, I, J, K The unit is overfilled. G, L, M The unit is not filled properly. C, D, E, F, I, J, K, L Test steps: Make sure the unit is switched ON. Make sure the unit is plugged in and the proper voltage is present.
