General information NEA/NEG from housing size 100 upwards are suitable for use in potential- ly explosive areas of the category 2D in the zone 21 and 22. In particular the standards DIN EN IEC 60079-0 and DIN EN 60079-31 (IEC 60079-31) are observed. Before using the NEA/NEG the operator must exclude the possibility that the introduction of vibrational energy poses the risk of explosion.

General information Notes IMPORTANT indicates actions, methods or notes that are not relative to safety, e.g. use- ful information and tips. Environmentally safe disposal indicates the obligation of environmentally safe disposal. Explosion prevention indicates information on explosion prevention. When operating the NEA/NEG in potentially explosive areas all notes, ATEX-notes marked with the Ex-symbol , must be observed.
Safety Safety The NEA/NEG are intended for generating circular vibrations. Intended use General applications are: loosening, conveying, sorting, compacting, sepa- rating bulk materials and reducing friction. NEA/NEG are used for empty- ing bunkers, as drives for conveyor troughs, sieves and vibrating tables. The NEA/NEG are designed for installation in machines and may only be put into operation, if it has been assured that the complete machine com- plies with the regulations of the machinery directive.

Safety Hot surface WARNING Hot surface If the permissible operating conditions and the maintenance requirements are not observed or if the vibrator does not fit the application, the housing surface may become very hot. In Ex-zones there is a risk of ignition of an explosive atmos- phere due to hot surfaces.
Page 10
Safety Falling parts WARNING Falling parts The NEA/NEG or parts of the construction can come loose due to vibra- tion. Falling parts can lead to severe personal injuries. ➢ Use only suitable fastening screws and safety washer to attach the NEA/NEG.
The sound level is determined to a great extent by the surface upon which the NEA/NEG is mounted (e.g. sheet metal). The sound level will be amplified by non-silenced sheet metal. * Higher temperatures are only possible after consultation with and written approval from the application techni- cians of NetterVibration.

Installation Installation Observe the safety instructions in Ch. Safety, from page 6 on. Please refer to the brochure for weights and dimensions. Important: For NEA/NEG with housing size 101 to 120 the terminal box is Fastening integrated in the housing foot. These vibrators must be electrically con- the NEA/NEG nected before fastening.
Page 16
Installation Electrical The following requirements and conditions must be met to connect the connection NEA/NEG electrically: • The permissible operating conditions must be met. Please refer to chap. Technical data, page 11 for operating conditions. • A suitable overload protection (1) must be pre-connected to each vibrator.
Page 17
Installation • The electrical parameters U, I, P on the type plate must be ob- served. • Tighten terminal plate nuts with pre- scribed torque, see chap. Technical da- ta, from page 11. Remember to put the safety washer between the ring and the nut and the vibration-damping insert back.

Start-up and operation Start-up and operation Observe the safety instructions in chap. Safety, from page 6 on. Please refer to chap. Technical data, page 11 for permissible operating Permissible conditions. operating conditions • When commissioning the NEA/NEG, the rules and regulations of the Regulations local associations for electrical engineering (e.g.
Page 20
Start-up and operation Check that the cables are undamaged and laid according to the known regulations and standards. Check that all permissible operating conditions have been observed. Check that all protective measures on the system have been ob- served. Eliminate possible errors before start-up. Screw connections must be checked and, if necessary, retightened after 1 h operating time (after initial start-up) and thereafter regularly (generally monthly).
Page 21
Start-up and operation Procedure: Switch off the NEA/NEG at the main switch, secure against uninten- tional starting and ensure that there is no voltage. Loosen both unbalance covers. Loosen the locking nuts or locking screws. Bring the unbalances to the desired setting according to the following descriptions for the various unbalance discs.
Page 23
Start-up and operation Unbalance The centrifugal force is adjustable with the unbalance discs (lamella) of discs type XL in the following steps: type XL 1: Number of unbalance discs per side 2: Default number of unbalance discs per vibrator 3: Centrifugal force in % There are 2 possibilities to adjust the unbalances: The unbalance adjustment (fine adjustment) is carried out by remov- ing one unbalance disc on each side.
Page 24
Start-up and operation Unbalances The centrifugal force is adjustable with the unbalance discs (lamella) type type XLs XLs. Adjustment of the unbalances is carried out according to a scale disc or the supplementary sheet in the terminal box of the NEA/NEG. By rotating the outer, adjustable unbalance disc(s) to another position, the percentage of the centrifugal force changes as shown in the illustration below.
Page 25
Start-up and operation Example: NEG 50120 / 50 Hz has a total of 6 unbalance discs (3 discs per side: 2 fixed, 1 adjustable). If a centrifugal force of 88% is desired, the adjustable unbalance discs are rotated anticlockwise on both sides into the fourth grid position. centrifugal force 100 % centrifugal force 88 % Unbalances...
