Installation and Operating Instructions for an FKL 100 mi
Our (FKL mi) pneumatic vibrator complies with the EU Machines Directive 98 / 37 / EG, as well as with ATEX 100a under 94 / 9 /
EU. Chap. II, Art. 8, b, ii. Particular heed has been paid to the EN 292 norm, parts 1 and 2.
Important information
FINDEVA AG declines any responsibility for damage to persons or property, should technical alterations have been made to the
product or no heed have been paid to these instructions.
The installation of pneumatic vibrators and their operation must be carried out by experienced staff.
Risk of injury!
•
Compressed air units, such as vibrators, filters, oilers and air supply hoses, may be subject to very high
pressures. Before undertaking any work on such units, the system has to be disconnected from the
compressed air supply and be depressurized.
•
Compressed air can generate extremely high noise levels. For this reason, ear defenders must be worn
without fail in the vicinity of the vibrator.
•
Observe any national or local regulations and legislation concerning the installation and usage of
pneumatic systems.
Noise levels
•
The noise level for an unshielded vibrator mounted on sheet metal exceeds 85dB (A), if you only take
into account the sound of a single operation cycle. Depending on the frequency, the continuous noise
level will be below this. The sound emanating from the device can be deadened by means of cladding.
•
Ear defenders are required in the noise zone.
Attachment of the vibrator
•
Vibrators and parts of their construction can work loose during operation. Screw locking devices are to
be employed and their torque is to be checked periodically.
Lubrication
Our FKL 100 mi pneumatic vibrator can be operated by dry compressed air and thus not require lubrication. However, if the
choice is made to operate the vibrator using oily compressed air, then there is no way back from this, since the vibrator’s initial
lubrication during manufacture will have been washed away by the oily air. The vibrator in its standard version can be worked at
temperatures between -20°C and 80°C.
Air filter and pressure regulator
All compressors are equipped with air filters. However, only those that permit the passage of particles of less than 5 µm should
be used. This will help extend the life of the vibrator.
Compressed air lines
Connection to the vibrator is made by means of quick-release devices. The vibrator is supplied with a ready for use throttle
valve. Only the drive mechanism and the connection hose need to be provided by the customer.
