Bin Opening Size
Required for Installation
The head section is the largest piece of a standard “X” Series Sweep. The
dimensions for a 16" head section are 23-1/2" x 55-1/4". If the bin wall is not too thick,
this unit should fit through a 23-1/2" x 47" opening. The dimensions for a 12" head
section are 21-1/4" x 51-1/2". Again, if the bin wall is not too thick, the section should
fit through an opening 21-1/2 x 45".
Voltage Specification
The “X” Series Sweep is designed to operate using 460 Volt 3 Phase 60 Hz,
380V 50 Hz or 600V 60 Hz . The voltage must be within plus or minus 4% for
proper operation.
Voltages outside of this range may cause excessive power draw or other operating
problems. Please contact the factory for applications outside of these parameters.
Electrical Requirements
Electrical controls and wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. The motor
disconnect switches and conductor cables should comply with the National Electric
Code and any local codes which may apply.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position
should be used. This is integrated into the control panel for the “X” Series Sweeps.
Disconnect and lock out the power before servicing the equipment, entering the bin
or resetting the motor overloads.
The control panel MUST be mounted OUTSIDE the bin near the door. It must be
located so the operator has a full view of the equipment and can see that all
personnel are clear. It must
NEVER be installed inside the bin. Motor thermal
protection leads must also be wired into or plugged into the control panel before the
sweep will operate.
