Safety
The NTS are intended for generating linear vibrations.
General applications are: loosening, conveying, sorting, compacting, sepa-
rating bulk materials and reducing friction. NTS are used for emptying
bunkers, as drives for conveyor troughs, sieves and vibrating tables.
The NTS are designed for installation in machines and may only be put
into operation, if it has been assured that the complete machine complies
with the regulations of the machinery directive.
The NTS may also be used outdoors and in dusty and humid environ-
ments. The NTS may not be submerged in bulk materials or in liquids.
Any other use is considered improper.
Installation, commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting of the NTS
may only be performed by authorised qualified personnel.
All handling of the NTS is the responsibility of the operator.
WARNING
Falling parts
The NTS, construction parts as well as fastening and housing screws can come loose due
to vibration. Falling parts lead to severe personal injuries.
➢
Check the fastening and housing screws after one hour of operation and thereafter at
regular intervals (generally monthly).
➢
Retighten the fastening and housing screws, if necessary.
➢
A safety device with a safety cable is mandatory for critical mounting situations.
WARNING
Sound level
Near the NTS or in the vicinity of the constructions connected with the NTS, the sound
pressure level may exceed 80 dB(A). The human ear can be permanently damaged by the
high sound level.
➢
When working in the noise area, use ear protection if 80 dB(A) is exceeded.
WARNING
Risk of injury while handling heavy parts
Risk of serious injury due to weight during transport and installation of the NTS.
➢
Observe the weight information in Chapter Technical data, from page 4 on.
➢
Only qualified personnel may transport and install the NTS.
➢
Use suitable load handling devices and slinging equipment.
➢
Wear suitable personal protective equipment.
