Translation of the original operator’s manual in German

1 Foreword

This operator's manual contains information and procedures for the safe opera-

tion and maintenance of your Wacker Neuson machine. In the interest of your

own safety and to prevent accidents, you should carefully read through the safety

information, familiarize yourself with it and observe it at all times.

This operator's manual is not a manual for extensive maintenance and repair

work. Such work should be carried out by Wacker Neuson service or authorized

specialists.

The safety of the operator was one of the most important aspects taken into con-

sideration when this machine was designed. Nevertheless, improper use or in-

correct maintenance can pose a risk. Please operate and maintain your Wacker

Neuson machine in accordance with the instructions in this operator's manual.

Your reward will be troublefree operation and a high degree of availability.

Defective machine parts must be replaced immediately!

Please contact your Wacker Neuson representative if you have any questions

concerning operation or maintenance.

Information which is included in the scope of delivery of your machine.

Also observe the country-specific regulations, standards and guidelines in

reference to accident prevention in connection with electrical equipment and

machines.

External vibrators

SV00079GB.fm 10

Electric power supply with residual current protective device (42 V AC)

Note: The rated voltage is indicated on the nameplate of your machine.

The machine may only be connected to an electric power supply with all machine

parts in proper working condition:

 Mains plug.

 Power cable over the entire length.

There must be at least one of the following safety devices if connected to a

stationary or mobile generator:

 Transformer with safe separation in accordance with EN 60742.

 Motor generator with equally separated windings.

Note: Observe the respective national safety regulations!

Power supply with residual current protective device (> 50 V AC)

Note: The rated voltage is indicated on the nameplate of your machine.

The machine can be connected to a 15 A/16 A shock-proof plug receptacle

(continental type) with a corresponding overload protection.

One of the following fault current protective switches is required:

 Standard fault current protective switch (AC sensitive, type A).

 AC/DC sensitive fault current protective switch (type B).

The machine may only be connected to an electric power supply with all machine

parts in proper working condition:

 Mains plug.

 Power cable over the entire length.

The machine may only be connected to an electric power supply with the

protective earth (PE) connector intact.

There must be at least one of the following safety devices if connected to a

stationary or mobile generator:

 Fault current protective switch

 Isolation (earth leakage) monitor

 IT-net

Note: Observe the respective national safety regulations!

Extension cable

The machine may only be operated with undamaged extension cables!

Only use extension cables with grounded conductor and correct connection of

the grounded conductor to the plug and coupling (not for 42 V machines).

Only use extension cables which are suitable for use at construction sites:

Average rubber hose line H05RR-F or better – WACKER recommends

H07RN-F.

Immediately replace damaged extension cables (e.g. tears in the sheathing) or

loose plugs and couplings.

External vibrators

SV00079GB.fm 11

Protecting the power cable

Do not use the power cable to pull or lift the machine.

Do not unplug the mains cable by pulling on the cable.

Protect the mains cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

If the power cable is damaged or the plug is loose, have it replaced immediately

by your WACKER representative.

2.7 Safety during the operation of external vibrators

Attaching the safety strap

If using the external vibrator in conjunction with a clamp, always attach the clamp

to the formwork using the safety belt supplied.

Attach the safety belt above the external vibrator securely to the formwork. The

safety belt should be taut without slack to ensure the clamp and the external

vibrator are caught by the safety belt in the event of a fall and stopped from falling

too far.

Motor protection against overload

To protect the motor against overload, WACKER recommends the use of a

motor-protective circuit-breaker.

Using stable formwork

Only use stable molds and formwork for attaching the external vibrator. Tighten

the fastening screws.

Molds and formworks that are not firm enough or loose connections may

overload the motor or result in being damaged themselves.

Check whether your formwork is suitable for receiving external vibrators:

 Attachment possibility.

 Sufficient stability for the used external vibrator type (dependent on the

performance).

Your WACKER representative will be happy to assist you.

Using the correct clamp

Attach the external vibrator using the clamp which is suitable for the external

vibrator and the formwork.

2.8 Maintenance

Maintenance work

Service and maintenance work must only be carried out to the extent described

in these operating instructions. All other procedures must be performed by your

WACKER representative.

For further information, please see the chapter Maintenance.

4.1 Operating range

To be used in pre-cast concrete factories for the vibration of forms of

all kinds as well as for installation on vibrating tables, vibrating blocks,

and machines. In building construction and civil engineering to be used

as form vibrators in all pre-cast concrete factories to fit planks, plates,

etc.

4.2 Description of function

In order to be able to mount the external vibrator to the from, resp.

mould, a faced steel plate of approx. 20 mm thickness has to be

attached to the respective mounting point, to which the external

vibrator is affixed by means of four screws M16-8.8. By all means

include washer DIN7989 - B18 for assembly of external vibrator. (see

assembly instructions)

4.3 Note

The form, resp. mould material has to have perfect connections and

closures, which might have to be reinforced for the best possible

transmission of vibration, otherwise increased current consumption or

mechanical damage may result from overload of the external vibrator.

4.4 Connection

Prior to connection please check:

The voltage used has to correspond to the data shown on the rating

plate.

Selection of required cross section for extension of cables and power lines

This procedure takes into consideration:

1. The ohmic and inductive resistance of the line with an admissible loss of voltage of 5% and cos phi = 0,8

as per voltage-frequency-curves.

2. The admissible warming-up of the lines as per VDE standard (table of required minimum cross section).

ATTENTION! The larger one of both cross sections has to be chosen.

Example:

Nominal voltage 3 ~ 42 V, 200 Hz

Rated current 38 A Line length 50 m

38 A x

50 m = 1900 A x m
