2. Warnings and Cautions
Read all Warnings and Cautions before Installation and Set-up.
2.1 Warnings
• For electrical safety, the vibration switch must be earthed
• For your own safety, disconnect all electrical power to the vibrating machine and ensure the
vibrating machine cannot operate during installation. Follow all safety warnings of the
machine manufacturer
• For 3171S models, if the solenoid circuit is powered from a separate supply that is not
automatically disconnected by the machine isolation device, then regulations require that
the solenoid supply have its own isolation device and also must be identified both at the
isolation device and vibration switch. The solenoid supply must be fused at a maximum of
5A.
2.2 Cautions
• To avoid corrosion inside the vibration switch keep enclosure sealed before and after
installation
• The Cable Entry Cap is for transport and storage and is not suitable for resisting ingress of
moisture if a vibration switch is installed in the field and not wired. Unless the switch is
immediately wired using a suitable cable gland, replace the Cable Entry Cap with Blanking
Plug 0051-002-01 (see accessories).
3. Mechanical Installation
3.1 Introduction
• Installation of the vibration switch shall only be carried out by qualified personnel
• Remove vibration switch from carton
• Vibration switch is factory set to 3 g, unless a preset switch has been ordered
• To reduce the risk of damaging internal components and wiring, installation and wiring must
be performed within a temperature range of -10°C to +50°C
• Do not allow moisture or other airborne contaminants inside the switch as they can cause
corrosion
• When closing the lid, ensure the seal is not lost or damaged.
The following tools will be needed:
• 3mm hexagon key for lid screws
• 4mm hexagon key to adjust SET LEVEL
• Wire strippers and wire cutters
• 3mm flat blade torque screwdriver for terminal block electrical connections
