- Page 3 The electric vibrator can be referred to by its Model or Type designation or by its Item number. The vibrator Model or Type designations referred to in this manual are as follows: MVSS – Continuous duty stainless steel industrial electric vibrator, single or three phase. General Safety requirements Read this entire manual before proceeding.
- Page 4 Installation Before installing the vibrator, make sure that you have everything that you will need and that there is no shipping damage. Any product damage should be reported to the delivery service immediately. Standard metric hand tools will be needed. Carefully handle the electric vibrator. Dropping or impacting the electric vibrator may damage the bearings.
- Page 5 Safety Cable Always install a safety cable metal rope from the electric vibrator to a reliable support should the vibrator become free from its mount and fall more than 6 in. The metal rope should be taut and positioned above the electric vibrator. Reference Figure 2. 6”...
- Page 6 Mounting Hardware & Torque Always use new bolts, nuts and compression washers. The bolts should be Grade 5 or 8 (equivalent international designation is 8.8 and 12.9, respectively). Grade 5 bolts are suitable for a majority of applications. Do not use split lock washers. Use only compression washers. Table I offers suggested mounting bolt torque values.
- Page 7 Wiring Electric Vibrator It is mandatory to comply with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and all applicable local codes. Identify which wiring diagram is applicable by referencing the Diagram designation on the nameplate or by referring to Table II. Remove the four screws with washers securing the wiring box cover along with the foam rubber block and set aside.

- Page 9 Wiring Electric Vibrator Cont. When wiring the electric vibrator, leave enough slack in the cord so that the cord does not become taut during operation causing stress on the connections. It is always best to position the cord down so that should there be any moisture present the moisture would tend to run down instead of into the vibrator wiring box.
- Page 10 Wiring Electric Vibrator Cont. Secure the wire connectors and the shorting bars to the terminal block in the positions shown on the wiring diagram using the hardware provided. It is essential that the hardware be positioned as shown in Figure 7. Note that the closed loop wire connectors provided on the power supply cord are positioned between the two flat washers.
- Page 11 Thermistor Wiring Electric vibrators with Diagram 5A and 5B have thermistor circuits installed in the winding. These devices are intended to protect the winding from over-temperature. Connect the thermistors to the motor starter using a thermistor control module such as Siemens 3RN1012- 1CK00.
- Page 12 Grounding & Bonding Cont. Figure 9. Ground Bonding Screw Overload, Short-Circuit & Ground-Fault Protection In the USA, The National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and all applicable local codes, govern how to properly size, select and install overload protection (sometimes called heaters) and short- circuit and ground-fault protection (fuses or circuit breakers).
- Page 13 Eccentric Weight Adjustment The eccentric weights may be adjusted to produce the desired centrifugal force output. It is always best to operate the electric vibrator at the lowest weight setting that produces the desired result. This will result in lower energy expense and extend the bearing life. The factory setting is 50% which would result in 50% of the centrifugal force noted on the nameplate.
- Page 14 Eccentric Weight Adjustment Cont. Check shaft rotation before replacing weight covers. Start vibrator for 1 second, stop and lockout/tag out. Observe direction of rotation. If desired to reverse the direction of rotation, switch two of the three power supply leads in the wiring box or at the motor starter for 3-phase electric vibrators.

- Page 16 Electric Vibrator Lubrication Cont. The lubrication frequency is every 2000 hours of operation unless specified otherwise in the table. There is an exception - 3600 rpm electric vibrators operating continuously or for long periods of time should be lubricated in ½ the time specified using ½ the grease volume specified.
- Page 17 Electric Vibrator Repair If the electric vibrator needs repair, contact Italvibras USA at 815-872-1350 for instructions. Most electric motor repair shops are not trained to repair our industrial electric vibrators. We recommend that they be returned to the service center located in Princeton, IL. Attempting to repair the electric vibrator or replace the bearings will void the warranty.
