Oil­level Monitoring System; Heating; Start­up; Checking Procedure - Siemens FLENDER B3 E Series Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

Startup can take place after the oil quantity specified on the respective plate has been filled in
through the oil­filler plug of the backstop and at lubricating point 1 of the intermediate flange.
Always use oil of the same type and viscosity as for the gear unit.
For details regarding the auxiliary gear unit please see the Special operating instructions.
7.1.5 Oil­level monitoring system
This monitoring is designed as a standstill monitoring (gear unit stop) and checks the level of
the oil before the unit is started up. It should be wired in such a way that, when the signal "oil
level too low" is given, the drive motor cannot start and that an alarm is given. During operation,
any active signal should be bridged.
7.1.6

Heating

Never switch the heating on, unless complete immersion of the rod heater in the oil
bath is ensured. Fire hazard!
If heating elements are installed afterwards the maximum heating capacity
(see Table 9 in item 5.11) on the outer surface of the heating element must not be
exceeded.
The correct setting of the switch points must be checked!
7.2 Start­up
All data must be recorded (see items 7.2.1 to 7.2.4).
7.2.1

Checking procedure

The following visual checks must be conducted and recorded when starting up:
Presence of explosion­protection marking
Oil level
The oil level must be monitored by means of the existing oil­level monitoring equipment. To do so, the gear
unit must be shut down.
When the oil is cool, the level should be at the upper mark on the oil dipstick or the middle of oil­sight glass.
When the oil is warm it may slightly exceed this mark.
It must in no case be allowed to fall below the mark. If necessary, top up to the correct
level.
Leaktightness of the oil­cooling or oil­supply lines
Opening condition of the shut­off valves
Effectiveness of the shaft seals
Freedom of the rotating parts from contact.
The alignment dimensions in accordance with items 6.3.2.1 to 6.3.2.4 and the tensioning pressures and
the initial­tensioning forces in accordance with 6.3.2.2 to 6.3.2.4 must also be recorded in this document.
The document must be kept with the instructions.
