Tips for Safe Operation of
VIBROCONTROL 18xx
Safety:
This user manual contains information which must be followed by the user in order to ensure safe
operation.
General:
WARNING!
VIBROCONTROL 18xx and VC-1801 devices can be damaged by a "HOT-Swap."
The VIBROCONTROL 18xx must be disconnected from the main power supply first.
Please carefully read the operating instructions prior to setting up the device. Make sure that your
VIBROCONTROL 18xx device is suitable for your application without any restrictions.
Improper use:
Any improper or non-intended use may lead to malfunctions of the VIBROCONTROL 18xx or to
unwanted effects in your application. If the VIBROCONTROL 18xx is used in a way not described
in the relevant user manual, function and protection may be impaired and serious personal injury,
death or serious, irreversible injuries may result.
Installation and operation:
Installation, electrical connection, set-up, operation and maintenance of your VIBROCONTROL
18xx must only be carried out by qualified/trained personnel (electrician) authorized by the machine
operator in accordance with local and national regulations for the installation of electrical
equipment.
Changing the setup parameters:
Before applying a new set of setup parameters to the VIBROCONTROL 18xx, please make sure
that doing so cannot cause any damage to persons and/or machinery.
Connecting sensors:
Please make sure to meet the safe extra-low voltage (SELV) criteria when any sensors are
connected to the VIBROCONTROL 18xx so that no dangerous contact voltages are applied to the
sensor and/or transferred to the device. The sensor and the power supply of the VIBROCONTROL
18xx are not electrically isolated.
If the VIBROCONTROL 1800 monitor indicates a device error (system status LED is red),
machine protection is no longer ensured. Please carry out a self-test, correct errors, switch off
the device if necessary and protect it against unintentional reuse.
