2. Safety directives
We have taken great care in design and manufacture of our hoppers in order to ensure smooth and safe operation. You,
too, can make an important contribution towards safety at work. We therefore ask you to read the brief operating instructions completely prior to commissioning the system. Observe the safety directives at all times!
Make sure that all persons working with or at the equipment also read the following safety directives carefully and follow
them!
These Operating Instructions only apply to the equipment types indicated on the cover page.
Notice
This hand indicates useful tips for operation of the linear feeder.
Attention
This warning triangle indicates safety notices. Non-observance of such warnings may cause serious injury or
even death.
Machine hazards
• Hazards arise mainly from the electrical components of the hopper. If the hopper comes into contact with moisture or
liquids there is risk of electric shock.
• Make sure that protective earthing of the power supply system is in perfect condition!
Intended use
The intended use of this hopper is the storage and controlled supply of bulk materials.
Intended use also includes observance of the operating instructions and compliance with the maintenance rules.
For the technical data of your hopper please refer to the table 'Technical Data'. Make sure that the rating data of the vibratory feeder, control system and power supply are compatible.
Notice
Operate the hopper in perfect condition only.
Never operate the hopper in areas subject to explosion hazards or in wet areas.
Operate the hopper only in the configuration of drive unit, control unit and vibratory system agreed with the manufacturer.
The hopper must never be subjected to any loads other than the parts for which this special type has been rated and dimensioned.
Rhein-Nadel Automation GmbH 8
VT-MA-BV-EN_2019 / 24.01.2019 SJ
Attention
It is strictly forbidden to disable any guards or safety devices!
Equipment user's duties
• Observe the directives given in the operating instructions for any kind of work (operation, maintenance, repairs, etc.).
• Refrain from any working practice that affects the safety at the hopper.
• Make sure that only authorised personnel work at the hopper.
• Give immediate notice to the management of any changes that have occurred on the hopper affecting safety.
Attention
The hopper must be installed, put into operation and maintained by professional personnel only. Ob-
serve the legally binding provisions for the qualifications of qualified electrical workers and instructed workers
as defined by standards IEC 364 and DIN VDE 0105, part 1.
Caution: Electromagnetic field
Magnetic fields may affect a cardiac pacemaker. Therefore, persons wearing a cardiac pacemaker are recommended to keep a distance of at least 25 cm.
Noise emission
The noise level at the place of use depends on the complete line into which the hopper will be incorporated and on the material to be conveyed. If the noise level at the place of use exceeds the permissible, sound-insulating hoods can be installed
which we can offer on request.
2.1. Applicable directives and standards
The hopper has been manufactured in accordance with the following directives:
• EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
• EC Low-Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
• Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU
We assume that our product will be incorporated into a stationary machine. The requirements of the EMC Directive must be
satisfied by the user.
The applicable standards are specified in the Declaration of Incorporation.
The hopper is controlled by a low-loss electronic control unit (type ESG 2000 or ESG 1000).
The hopper controller is supplied as a separate item. The controller has a 5-pin connector on its front panel for connection
to the hopper.
For assignment of the socket pins refer to the technical data.
Notice
For comprehensive information on the full range of control devices please refer to the 'Control Units' operating
instructions.
All control devices have two essential operating elements:
• The power switch is used to energize and de-energize the linear feeder.
• A rotary knob (or buttons) can be used to set the feed rate of the system.
• Tuning of the hopper can also be done by means of frequency controllers. For detailed description of the tuning pro-
cedure refer to the frequency controller operating instructions.

3. Shipment and installation
3.1. Shipment
Notice
Take care that the hopper cannot collide with other objects during handling operations.
3.2. Installation
The hopper should be mounted on a stable substructure (available as an accessory) at the point of use. This substructure
must be dimensioned to ensure that no vibrations from the linear feeder can be transmitted.
Make sure that the linear feeder cannot touch other devices during operation.
For further details on the control unit (drilling template, etc.), please refer to the separate operating instructions manual of
the controller.
4. Commissioning
Attention
Make sure that the machine frame (rack, substructure, etc.) is connected to the protective earth conductor
(PE). Protective earthing has to be provided by user as necessary.
Verify that
• the hopper is arranged freely without contact to any solid body.
• the hopper connecting cable is plugged into the control unit.
Attention:
It is imperative that the vibrating motor is connected to the equipotential bonding system of the overall
equipment before commissioning. The adaptation points are marked with earth symbols.
See also: DIN EU 60204 / VDE 0100-540
Attention
Electrical connection of the hopper must be made by trained professional electricians only! When making
any change to the electrical connection make absolutely sure that the 'Control Units' operating instructions
are duly observed.
• The available electricity supply (frequency, voltage, power) must correspond to the connection data of the control
system (see rating plate on the control unit).
Plug the cable of the control unit into a power socket and operate the power switch to energize the control unit.
Notice
For hoppers that are supplied as a completely set-up system the optimum feed rate has been factory-set. It
is marked with a red arrow on the dial of the rotary knob. In this case set the rotary knob to this mark.
Optimum tuning is achieved when the desired feed rate is obtained with a controller setting of 80 %. In case of larger deviations (> +/- 15%) you should re-tune the system.
5. Maintenance
Hoppers basically require no maintenance. They should be cleaned when soiled or after coming into contact with liquids.
• Before starting such work be sure to pull the mains plug.
• Clean the inside of the hopper (dismount components as necessary), and in particular the air gap of the coil.
• After remounting the components and plugging in the mains plug the hopper is again ready for operation.

6. Spare parts and customer service
For an overview of genuine spare parts available please refer to the separate spare parts list.
In order to make sure that your order is processed swiftly and correctly please specify the device type (see rating plate), the
quantity required, the spare part designation and the spare part number.
For a list of Service Center addresses refer to the back cover page of this manual.
7. What if... (Advice on troubleshooting)
Attention
Only professional electricians are allowed to open the control unit or connector. Pull the mains plug before
opening!
Fault
Potential cause
Remedy
Hopper does not
start on power up
Power switch off
Mains connector of control unit not plugged-in
Connecting cable between hopper and control
unit not plugged-in
Defective fuse in control unit
Close power switch
Plug in the mains connector
Plug-in 5-pin connector on control unit
Replace fuse
Only slight hopper
vibration

Shipping locks or braces not removed
Wrong vibration frequency
Attention
If the hopper is operated in connection with
a basic linear feeder of type SLL 400, make
sure that the jumper is inserted in the 5-pole
connector. Otherwise there is a risk of damage to the magnet and controller in case of
overload.!
Set controller to 80 %
Remove shipping locks or braces.
Check that coding in plug connector of the linear
feeder is correct (see rating plate and 'Technical
Data' (Section 1))
Hopper makes loud
noises
Foreign matter in air gap
Switch the hopper off and eliminate foreign matter
