4.6 Installation

• The variable speed gearmotor may be mounted or installed only in the specifiedposition on a level1, vibration-free and torsionally rigid support structure. Do nottighten housing legs and mounting flanges against each other.

• Carefully align the variable speed gear drives to avoid overloading the output shafts(observe permitted overhung loads and axial forces!).

• Do not hammer or hit the shaft end.

• Ensure adequate supply of cooling air and that heated air from other units is notdrawn in. The cooling air may not exceed a temperature of 40 °C.

Installation in damp areas or in the open

• VARIMOT® gear units are supplied in corrosion-resistant versions (design B) for usein damp areas or in the open. Any damage to the paintwork (e.g. on the breathervalve) must be repaired.

Cable entry, cable fitting

• All cable entries are supplied with ATEX certified plugs.

• To establish the correct cable entry, the plugs are replaced by ATEX certifiedcable screw fittings with strain relief.

• Select the cable screw fitting according to the outer diameter of the cable being used.

• All non-required cable entries must be sealed with an ATEX certified plug aftercompleted installation.

• Coat the threads of cable screw fittings and sealing plugs with sealant. Tighten welland apply another coat of sealant. Properly seal the cable entries.

• Thoroughly clean the sealing surfaces of the terminal box and terminal box coverbefore re-assembly. Replace porous seals!

Painting the gear unit

If the drive will be overpainted or partially repainted, ensure that the breather valve andoil seals are carefully covered with tape. Remove tape strips after the paint work isfinished.

1 Maximum permitted flatness error for flange mounting (approximate value with reference toDIN ISO 1101): with → flange 120 to 600 mm max. error 0.2 to 0.5 mm

VARIMOT® design HS (handwheel with position indication) must be mounted sothat the adjusting spindle is horizontal; otherwise the position indication will notfunction properly.

• The breather valves must be easily accessible! The plastic plug of the conden-sation drain hole at the lowest position must be removed before operation(danger of corrosion!)

5Installation and setup of optional equipmentStartup

Installation and adjustment of other speed monitors

If other speed monitors are used, they must feature an intrinsically safe sensor input(identification color: blue) for evaluation of sensors according to DIN 19234 (NAMUR)and be approved for use of this sensor in potentially explosive atmospheres.

The voltage encoder (sensor) generally has a blue connection lead and must conformto DIN 19234 (NAMUR). The corresponding inspection number may be attached to thevoltage encoder or the connection lead.

If the switching speed of the variable speed gear unit is less than that in the table(see previous page), the drive motor must be immediately disconnected from itssupply voltage.

Before re-startup of the variable speed gear unit, the error must be corrected andthe variable speed gear unit must be stopped for at least 15 minutes. If incorrectoperation by the operating personnel cannot be ruled out, this interval should betriggered by an automatic restart lockout.

If vibrations or increased operating noises are noticeable after restarting thevariable speed gear unit, the friction ring was damaged during the blocking andmust be replaced (see Sec. "Inspection / maintenance" Replacing the frictionring").

nstallation and setup of optional equipmenttartup

Installing / connecting the IGEX voltage encoder

1. Rotate the output shaft of the variable speed gear unit until the machined cast ironsurface of the friction ring carrier can be seen through the tapped hole in the gear unithousing.

2. Voltage encoder:

• Carefully screw the voltage encoder into the thread of the variable speed gear unithousing until the voltage encoder [3] rests on the friction ring carrier.

• Turn the encoder back by one turn and secure with lock nut [2].

The switching inverval X is now set as follows:

• For VARIMOT® D16/26 to 1 mm• For VARIMOT® D36/46 to 2 mm

This means, the voltage encoder supplies six pulses per revolution during operationat this switching interval.

3. The voltage encoder is connected to the WEX speed monitor as follows:

• VARIMOT® D16/26 via terminal strips in the terminal box • VARIMOT® D36/46 via plug connector

5Installation and setup of optional equipmentStartup

Changing switching interval X

If no circuit state change occurs at the voltage encoder with rotating shaft of the variablespeed gear unit operating at switching interval X, then the switching interval can bechanged (figure 9). The circuit state change is indicated by the yellow LED on the frontside of the speed monitor (page 17, figure 8, position 4).

1. With constantly lit yellow LED on the speed monitor, turn the voltage encoder a halfturn counterclockwise at a time and check its function.

2. If the yellow LED on the speed monitor is not lit, turn the voltage encoder at leasttwo times (D16/26) or six times (D36/46) by 90 degrees each in clockwise direction.

3. If a circuit change still does not occur, check the voltage supply of the voltageencoder using the evaluation electronics (with WEX design).

Contactless digital remote speed indicator

The contactless digital remote speed indicator, which is included in the scope of deliverywith the WEXA design, is connected to the pulse output of the speed monitortype KFU8-UFC-Ex1.D by Pepperl + Fuchs.

Do not turn the voltage encoder more than half a turn (D16/26) or 1.5 turns(D36/46) into the tapped hole because it would be destroyed by a collision with theopening of the friction ring carrier!
