SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

DANGERS:

Highvoltagese xistandare accessible in theController.
Return the unit to your dealer for servicing.

Do not operate mixers where explosive v apors or
flammable materials exist. Death or serious injury
could result. Check NEC and local codes before
installing.

W ARNING:

Neverclean the Controller or MixerHeadwhile poweris
applied to the system.

W ARNINGS:

Use only those mixer shafts that are properly sized for
the Mixer Head being used. Refer to Mixer Head
specifications for the propershaft diameter or range to
be used. Sizes other than those specified can cause
injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

Disconnect the AC power input line cord before
connecting the Mixer Head cable.

Exercise extreme care when adjusting Mixer Height
and/or position to avoid personal injury. Never make
these adjustments while the mixer shaft is rotating.

Never insert or remove the mixer shaft/impeller while
the mixer shaft is rotating.

Check that all cords are clear of any moving parts and
not subject to splashes or spills.

Usecare when setting the operating speedofthemixer.
Operationat high speeds in small mixingvesselscould
result in hazardous splashing on the operator and
equipment.

When running at full speed and load at higher ambient
temperatures, the Mixer Head may get very hot to the
touch.

Use of mixing shafts and impellers larger than those
recommended could result in poor product
performance and shortened service life.

Mixer shafts must be inser ted into high speed
through-shaft mixers at least 3 in and the collet
hand-tightened firmly to insure adequate shaft
retention. Keep mixer shafts as short as possible to
reduce resonant vibrations caused by the shaft flexing
at higher speeds.

The Mixer Head is to be used only for mixing. It is not
intended for any other purpose.

INTRODUCTION

The heavy duty modular mixing system covered in this manual consists of four
different Mixer Heads and a Precision Controller in two different line voltages.

ThePrecision Controller isusedtoset the mixingspeedwithin±0.2% despite
changes in viscosity, temperature or power line voltage.The timer mode lets
you reproduce mixing runs of up to 100 minutes.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP PROCEDURE

The Mixer Heads are equipped with an adjustable-tilt Mounting Assembly.The
Mounting Assembly is designed to be attached to an optional mixer Support
Stand, or Tank Clamp. Components supplied as part of the mixer package
include the following:

Mixer Head with 6-ft cable

·

Precision Controller with 6-ft line cord

·

JACOBS

·

0.375 inch collet on high speed mixers

·

Adjustable-tilt Mounting Assembly with Support Rod

·

Installation of Adjustable Tilt Mounting

W ARNING: Neverinsert orremovethe mixer shaft/impeller

while the mixer shaft is rotating.

Perform the following steps.

1. Attach Mixer Head to adjustable-tilt Mounting Assembly as follows:
a. For models 50003-10, 50003-15, 50003-20, and 50003-25 attach

Mounting Assembly with four screws and lockwashers.(See Figure 2.)

Note: The mixeris now ready to be attached toa SupportStand or to aTank

Clamp (not supplied). Recommended stands, T ank Clamps, and a
double (rod) clamp are available through your dealer. Part numbers
are listed in the ACCESSORIES section.

Installation Using a Support Stand

1. SetupSupportStandin accordancewith themanufacturer’sinstructions.

2. Attach a double (rod) clamp to the vertical rod on the Support Stand and
tighten clamp screw. (See Figure 4.)

3. Slide rod of adjustable-tilt Mounting Assembly into clamp and secure with
clamp screw.

4. Select an impeller and shaft for the required operation and install as
follows:

a. Place impeller on shaft and tighten set screw.
b. Forhigh-torque MixersHeads,slidetheshaft of the stirring device into

the JACOBS

c. For high-speed Mixer Heads, slide the shaft through the collet and

hand tighten collet.

5. Place SupportStand legs around vessel.Tilt angle is adjustablefrom 0 to
30 degrees.

W ARNINGS: Exercise extreme care when adjusting Mixer

Head height and/or position to avoid personal
injury.Nevermakethese adjustmentswhilethe
mixer shaft is rotating.

Mixer shafts must be inserted into high speed
through-shaftmixers at least 3 in and the collet
hand-tightened firmly to insure adequate shaft
retention. Keep mixer shafts as shor t as
possible to reduce resonant vibrations caused
by shaft flexing at higher speeds.

6. Position the height of the Mixer Head by moving the clamp up or down on
the Support Stand or on high-speed models by loosening the collet and
positioning the shaft.

Figure 4. Typical Mixer Setup Using a Support Stand

Note: The Controller can be placed on any flat surface within 6 feet of the

MixerHead orcanbe mounted on a Support Platform (not supplied)or
a Pivot Mount (not supplied).Refer to the ACCESSORIES section for
part numbers.T oattach the Support Platform proceed with step 7.T o
attach the Pivot Mount proceed with step 8. If Controller is placed
elsewhere proceed with step 9.

7. To install the Support Platform proceed as follows:
a. Attachadouble (rod)clamp totheverticalSupportRodand positionso

that platform will be clear of Mixer Head.

b. Slide the mounting rod of the Support Platform into the double (rod)

clamp and tighten clamp.

c. Place Controller on platform and proceed to step 9.

8. To install the Pivot Mount proceed as follows:
a. Remove the two cap nuts from the mounting studs on bottom of

Controller.
