Gyro-Tec Safety; Power Surge And Fluctuation Protection - Euroboor ECO.60S+ User Manual

4.7 GYRO-TEC safety

This Euroboor magnetic drilling machine is equipped with GYRO-TEC safety functionality. It features a
gyroscopic sensor which detects acceleration and displacement in any direction. Whenever the
machine recognizes a sudden or unwanted movement the motor will be shut down automatically by
the machine's electronics. This safety functionality offers protection to the user in various
circumstances, such as:
- Sudden loss of magnetic force while in operation;
- Excessive vibration caused by incorrect drilling procedure, worn-out cutting tools, etc.;
- Sudden displacement of the workpiece to which the magnetic drilling machine is attached.
By the motor shutting down automatically, risk of damaging or hurting the machine, tools, workpiece
and operator is reduced.
Every time the motor is started, the machines electronics need a moment to run a systems check and
initiate the safety system. The GYRO-TEC safety feature engages three seconds after the motor is
started.
It is very important to note that this functionality raises the safety level, but does not prevent the
operator from using the machine incorrectly. The operator should always follow instructions
described in this manual and take all necessary safety precautions.

4.8 Power surge and fluctuation protection

This machine is equipped with power surge and fluctuation protection, making the machine suitable
for use in areas and workplaces where power supply is of less quality.
The machine will shut down part of the electronics and the motor by itself when the machine cannot
cope with insufficient or unreliable power supply. This prevents the control unit(s) in the machine
from breaking by cause of power supply, and thus unexpected downtime and high repair cost. In
such a situation the magnet will remain switched on.
Power surge protection
The machine is able to cope with voltage spikes up to 4,000V (1-2μs).*
Power fluctuation protection
The machine is able to cope with voltage and frequency fluctuations ranging from:
110 Volt to 130 Volt - 45 Hz to 65 Hz
220 Volt to 240 Volt - 45 Hz to 65 Hz
When the frequency is too high or too low, so it falls outside of above mentioned range, the motor
will not start. If the frequency of the power supply falls outside the range or fluctuates strongly
during your drilling job, the motor will shut off automatically.*
