Before you begin

The drive
may only be
installed if

• The information on the nameplate of the drive matches the approved on-site explo­sion application range (equipment group, category, zone, temperature class or max­imum surface temperature).

• The information on the nameplate of the drive matches the voltage supply system.

• The drive is undamaged (no damage caused by transportation or storage).

• It is certain that the following requirements have been met:

• Ambient temperature between –20 °C (–4 °F) and +40 °C (+104 F°)

• No oils, acids, gas, vapors, radiation, potentially explosive atmospheres, etc.

• Enclosure has been verified.

4.5 Preliminary work

Variable speed

Installation

• The variable speed gearmotor may only be mounted or installed on a level1), vibra­tion-damping and torsionally rigid support structure. Do not tighten housing legs and
mounting flanges against each other.

• VARIMOT® version HS (handwheel with position indication) must be mounted

so that the adjusting spindle is horizontal; otherwise the position indication
will not function properly.

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

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

• Do not hit or hammer the shaft end.

• Ensure an unobstructed cooling air supply and that air heated by other apparatus
cannot be drawn in and reused. The cooling air may not exceed a temperature of
40 °C (104 °F).

• VARIMOT
in damp areas or outdoors. Any damage to the coating (e.g. on the breather valve)
must be repaired.

Cable entry,
cable gland

Painting the
gear unit

• All cable entries are provided with ATEX certified plugs.

• To establish the correct cable entry, the plugs are replaced by ATEX certified
cable glands with strain relief.

• Select the cable gland according to the outer diameter of the cable used.

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

• Coat the threads of cable glands and filler plugs with sealing compound and tighten
them well – then coat them again. Properly seal the cable entry.

• Properly clean the sealing surfaces of the terminal box and terminal box cover before
reassembly. Replace brittle gaskets.

If all or some of the surfaces of the drive are to be painted, make sure that you carefully
mask over the breather valve and the oil seals. Remove the strips of tape after com­pleting the painting work.

4.7 Gear units with solid shafts

Only use ATEX approved input and output components.

Input and output elements such as belt pulleys, couplings, etc. must have protec­tion against contact.

• Never drive belt pulleys, couplings, pinions, etc. onto the shaft end by hitting
them with a hammer (this will cause damage to bearings, housing and the
shaft).

• With belt pulleys, ensure the belt is correctly tensioned according to manu­facturer's specifications.

Assembly is easier if you first apply lubricant to the output element or heat it up briefly
(to 80 – 100 °C [176 – 212 °F]).

Installation and setup of optional equipment

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 features a blue connection lead and must
conform to DIN 19234 (NAMUR). The corresponding inspection number may be
attached to the voltage encoder or the connection cable.

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 its
supply voltage.

The cause of the problem must be eliminated and the operation of the variable
speed gear unit must be stopped for at least 15 minutes before restarting the vari­able speed gear unit. If incorrect operation by the operating personnel cannot be
ruled out, this interval should be triggered by an automatic restart lockout.

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

If no circuit state change occurs at the voltage encoder with rotating shaft of the variable
speed gear unit operating at switching interval X, then the switching interval can be
changed. The circuit state change is indicated by the yellow LED on the front side of the
speed monitor (page 24).

1. If the yellow LED on the speed monitor is constantly lit, turn the voltage encoder a
half turn counterclockwise at a time and check to see if it is functioning.

2. If the yellow LED on the speed monitor is not lit, turn the voltage encoder at most two

times (for D16/26) or six times (for D36/46) by 90 degrees in clockwise direction.

Do not screw the voltage encoder more than half a turn (for D16/26) or 1.5 turns
(for D36/46) into the mounting hole because the voltage encoder would be
destroyed by a collision with the rotating recesses of the friction ring carrier.

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

Observe the applicable wiring regulations for potentially explosive areas during
the electrical installation of optional equipment.

The contactless digital remote speed indicator, which is included in the scope of delivery
with the WEXA version, is connected to the pulse output of the speed monitor type

6 Inspection and Maintenance

Strict adherence to the inspection and maintenance intervals is absolutely neces­sary to ensure safe working conditions and explosion protection.

• Strictly observe the safety notes in the individual sections.

• All maintenance work must be carefully performed by qualified personnel.

• Work on the gear unit only when the machine is not in use. Prevent the drive
unit from unintentionally starting up (for example, by locking the keyswitch or
removing the fuses from the power supply). Place an information sign by the
on-switch to warn that the gear unit is being worked on.

• Use only OEM spare parts from the appropriate and valid spare parts list;
otherwise, the explosion rating of the variable speed drive becomes void.

Measuring the temperature of the anti-friction bearing

6.6 Measuring the temperature of the anti-friction bearing

To ensure safe working conditions and explosion protection, it is necessary that
the temperature of the anti-friction bearing does not exceed 100 °C (212 °F) at test
points T1 and T2 (see following figure).

If the temperature exceeds 100 °C (212 °F), replace the affected anti-friction
bearing.

The temperature of the anti-friction bearing can be measured with commercially
available temperature measuring probes. Important: Only use temperature mea­suring probes with a maximum diameter of 4 mm (condensation drain hole).

Fig. 17: Measuring the temperature of the anti-friction bearing

50055AXX

1. The temperature of the bearing may only be measured during standstill.

2. Insert the temperature measuring probe [2] through the condensation drain hole [1]
directly after the variable speed gear unit has stopped.

• Depending on the type of variable speed gear unit, the condensation drain hole

has the following diameter:

Variable speed gear unit type á Condensation drain hole

D 16 6.6 mm
