3.1 Mini compact terminal description The Schmalz mini compact terminal SCTMc, or SCTMc for short, is a compact unit of multiple vacuum gen- erators known as ejectors. Thanks to its modular design, up to 16 individual ejectors can be controlled and configured independently.
— — 3.4 Description of the Ejector Every SCTMc mini compact ejector has an electrical connection to the voltage supply and to communica- tion with the control for the superordinate machine. The compressed air supply is connected centrally for all ejectors.
Product Description The venturi nozzle on the ejector is activated and deactivated using the suction command: • In the NO (normally open) variant, the venturi nozzle is deactivated when the suction signal is re- ceived. • In the NC (normally closed) variant, the venturi nozzle is activated when the suction signal is re- ceived.

Maintenance 2. To disconnect the disc elements and end plates, pull on the compressed-air distributors in the direction shown. Save the included O-rings. These should be handled with care and reused during mount- ing. 3. Place a small flat screwdriver on the new ejec- tor as shown and loosen the clamp.
Page 28
Maintenance 5. Then remove the silencer from the ejector. 6. Remove the exhaust air collector on the ejec- tor to be replaced as shown above. 7. Insert it into the holder of the new ejector and fasten it with the clamp .
Page 29
Maintenance 9. Check that the exhaust air collector is held tightly by pulling on the housing (hand-tight). ð The exhaust air collector is installed. 10. Place the ejector at the desired position in the terminal. Make sure that the O-rings are com- plete and in position.
Maintenance 11.4 Replacing the Silencer When the silencer at the end of the exhaust air collector is open, a heavy infiltration of dust, oil, and so on, may contaminate it and reduce the suction capacity. We do not recommend cleaning the silencer be- cause of capillary action in the porous material.
