1.10  REQUIREMENTS FOR STANDARD e/o ATEX INSTALLATION

The hydromechanic coupling is a partly completed machine exclusively designed 

for use in industrial environments and its installation must be in compliance with the 

following requirements:

-   indoor use in a protected location/room,
-   ambient temperature between –20°C and +60°C (suitable types of oil must
  be used),
-   atmosphere of the operating zone void of corrosive or acid mists
-   plant including a coupling equipped with a safety device TF (Fusible Plug) and 

provided with both protection guards and fluid collection containers, should the 

fluid leak due to overheating,

-   mandatory use of appropriate biologic mineral oil to safeguard the environment
-   installation  room  provided  with  interlocked  protections,  which  prevent  any 

access when voltage is supplied,

-   suitable  room  layout  to  prevent  objects  from  falling  or  any  access  to  the 

coupling during operation,

-   installation location far from intense vibration sources,
-   installation location far from heat irradiation, hot air streams or electrostatically
  charged air,
-   easily accessible location for safe maintenance works,
-   installation in potentially explosive atmospheres, where methane concentration 

is lower than 1%.

-  correct identification of 

•  enviorment: 

 

 

I mining / II surfaces ind.

CAUTION

This handbook must be forwarded to the final user of the machine 

or partly completed machine, where the hydromechanic coupling will be 

incorporated, because it provides information for its safe use and correct

maintenance schedule.

The installation of the ROTOMEC constant-fill hydromechanic coupling must be 

compliant with the data reported on the identification plate, the manufacturer’s 

instructions in the TECHNICAL DATA SHEET and in this Use, Maintenance and 

Installation Handbook. For use in environment with characteristics different from 

what pointed out above, please call the WESTCAR Technical Department.

CAUTION

Should oil leak after intervention of the fusible plug (TF), it is 

mandatory to stop the motor as soon as possible; RISK OF OVERHEATING 

of non lubricated bearings and gasket seals.

-  When using a coupling in over see machines, it is required to stop the motor 

within 3 min.

- When using a coupling in machines without operator, it is required to install 

an automatic shutdown device to immediately stop the engine.
