Product Information
Introduction
The role of a separator
The Mini Cobra 3-Panel separator is a fine screen shaker with a motor/starter. The separator is
almost always located at the flow line unless it is preceded by a “scalping” or gumbo separator.
The separator removes a large percentage of drill cuttings before the mud is circulated through the
surface mud system, leading to improved performance of downstream solids control equipment.
The separator is designed to do two primary jobs: separate drilled solids from the mud; transport
the solids rapidly and efficiently off the screens.
How the separator works

The three features key to the operation of the separator are the basket angle adjustment system,
the vibrator system, and the screen locking system. These systems work with the uniquely
designed separator basket to give the highest fluid throughput and driest solids in a compact and
reliable separator.

Separator basket and pivot system

The basket’s patented screen configuration is a major advance over previously available
separators. During normal operation, with the basket in the neutral position, the first screen is
evenly flooded with 1 to 2 in (25 to 51 mm) of mud. The pool of mud creates an even hydrostatic
head on the screen surface that increases the amount of mud that can pass through the first three
screens (see Figure 2-1). During normal operation the liquid pool extends to the end of the second
screen, and the third screen is used to remove all excess liquid from the screened particles (dry
the cuttings). During flow surges or changes in flow conditions, liquid can run off the end of the
second screen and onto the third screen (see Figure 2-2).

Primary screening surfaces Discharged solids
Fine screen decks
Figure 2-2. Separator under upset operating conditions
The separator has a manually operated basket angle adjustment system. The angle adjustment
system allows the basket to be tilted upward by as much as 5° and downward by as much as 2°.
During unusually heavy flow conditions the basket can be pivoted uphill to increase the depth of
the pool. This deeper pool allows the shaker to handle the unusual flow conditions without a loss of
whole mud off the end of the shaker.
Sticky clays and gumbo often do not convey uphill and may not convey horizontally with a linear
motion shaker. When sticky clays or gumbo are encountered, the basket can be tilted downward to
make sure the material conveys. The operator can adjust the basket angle while the unit is running
by using the adjustment screw located on each side of the basket.

Page 11 of 58
Vibrator system
The vibrator system includes the two canister type vibrator motors, a motor mounting motion tube,
and a plate. Each vibrator motor contains eccentric weights that generate a circular shaking force
when rotated. During operation the two motors rotate in opposite directions, creating a net linear
shaking force on the basket. This shaking force is directed through the center of mass of the
basket, resulting in equal motion along the entire length of screening surface. The motion conveys
the solids along the screen, even uphill, and off the discharge end of the shaker. The basket
motion has been carefully designed to give the unit optimum performance over a wide range of
drilling conditions.
The angle of the basket’s vibratory motion relative to a line perpendicular to the screen surface is
called the angle of attack (conveyance angle). The angle of the basket’s motion relative to a line
parallel to the screen surface is called the conductance angle. The separator uses a 40°
conveyance angle and a 50° conductance angle. See Figure 2-3 for a diagram of these angles.

Screen wedge system

The separator comes equipped with the screen wedge system, a simple screen hold-down
mechanism. Tighten the screen wedge by using a hammer or by prying the wedge into place (see
Figure 2-4). The screen wedge’s mounted, pre-tensioned screens eliminate the need for a screen-
tensioning system.

Installation
Inspection
Prior to setting up and operating a new separator, inspect the goods as received from the shipping
company. A claim for damage or loss should be reported immediately to the carrier and to NOV
Brandt. Six screen wedges and 18 screen crown rubbers ship in a separate box located in the
back tank of the unit. Also, check the bill of lading for any separately shipped items, including
manuals and CDs.
Once it is confirmed the order has been received complete in undamaged condition, installation of
the separator may begin.
The separator can be lifted with a forklift or via the lifting eyes on each corner of
the unit. When using the lifting eyes, use shackles and a spreader bar to prevent
damage to the unit.
Unit preparation
Read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or damage to the unit.
1. Remove the four shipping bolts and spacers (see Figure 3-1) and store in a safe place for
reuse.
2. Check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners on shaker.
3. Connect power (see Figure 3-2).
4. Install crown rubbers.
5. Install screens (see Figure 3-3).

Electrical connections
Carefully proceed through this list to assure proper and safe operation of the unit(s). As with any
electrical equipment, all electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician (see Figure
3-2).
Follow all Lockout/Tagout procedures when making electrical connections.
1. Determine the rig voltage supplied to the unit. Ensure that the motor operating voltage
matches.
2. Lockout/tagout power from the power supply cable that will be connected to the unit.
3. Install power supply cable to motor starter. See Figure 3-2 for the starter wiring diagram.
When connecting the power leads to the top of the contactor in the starter enclosure, the
three incoming power leads are connected to the three left hand connections. Do not
connect an incoming power lead to the far right hand connection.

4. Check for proper voltage (labeled on the starter enclosure) and make sure all connections
are tight. The motor junction boxes on the motors are pre-wired for the correct voltage at the
factory.
Wires in the motor junction box must not be allowed to touch the inside of the junction
box. Use the foam cushions supplied with the motor to protect the wires.
5. Remove the weight covers from one side of the vibrator motors.
6. Turn on power supply to unit.
7. Bump start the motors to check the motor rotation direction of the separator as follows:
a. Push the Start button on the starter box, and then quickly push the Stop button.
b. Motors may rotate in either direction, but be sure the motors turn opposite to each other
or follow the arrows on the motors. If the motors turn in the same direction, switch any
two wires on one of the motors in the motor starter box to reverse its direction.
Operation with both motors turning in the same direction results in very poor shaker
performance.
8. Replace the motor weight covers. Bolt down the motor junction box covers and the starter
box cover.
9. Start the unit and check for proper vibration.
There should not be any side-to-side motion of the basket. Check side-to-side motion by placing a
thumb and forefinger on either side of the upper basket rail. The motion of the basket should cause
the rail to slip between the thumb and fingers without touching the fingers.

Installation
The following information provides the proper installation procedures for efficient and safe
operation. Please follow the recommendations closely. As always, adequate working space,
walkways, and handrails should be considered.
Throughout this manual, the “back” of the separator is the feed tank end, and the
“front” is the end where the dried solids fall off. Left and right are determined by
looking at the machine from the front.
Location and suppor t

The separator is shipped assembled on a box type skid with an integral sump and backtank.
Although most of the basket vibration will not be transmited through the coil spring and into the
skid, it is recommended to skip weld or bolt the skid to the support structure on which it is placed.
The support structure must be designed to support the shaker’s dead weight of 3800 lb (1727 kg),
plus a fluid load of 375 lb (170 kg) for a total of 4175 lb (1893 kg) per unit.
Ensure the skid is grounded before welding. Failure to do so can result in

electrical system damage.
The operator needs access to both sides of the machine to change the screens. Allow at least
24 in (0.6 m) of free space around the machine. Catwalks or walkarounds around the entire
machine are very important, because they increase the chances of proper maintenance.
Surfaces of the equipment are slippery. Use caution when working on or around to
avoid falling.
Some other guidelines for locating and installing the shaker include:
1. The unit(s) must be level in both directions to ensure even fluid distribution.
2. Do not weld or attach discharge troughs to the vibrating deck.
3. Do not install the solids slide above the bottom of the front shaker skid cutout.
Flow line connection
The flow line should connect near the bottom and center of the backtank. This minimizes settling
of solids. “Over the top” connection of the flow line to the backtank is discouraged. If necessary,
the pipe must be inserted at least two-thirds to the bottom of the backtank to prevent solids
buildup. Solids buildup in the backtank results in an undesired reduction in the volume of the
backtank and blockage of the dump valve. The drop or slope of the flow line should be a minimum
of 1:12, or 1 ft (0.3 m) of drop for each 12 ft (3.7 m) of the flow line.
The preferred hookup between multiple shakers is to use “Y” or “T” connections between the
shakers. Use valves to regulate flow to each shaker. This way, one shaker can still function while
repairing or changing a screen on the other shaker. For controlling flow, knife gate valves are
preferred over butterfly valves.

Screen installation
Screen installation requires minimal time or effort. However, if you do not follow these basic steps,
the result may be poor screen life and solids bypassing into the active system.
1. If mud is circulating, open the backtank bypass valve or divert mud to other shaker.
2. Wash down the screens while the shaker is running.
3. Shut down shaker.
4. Remove the screen wedge on each side of the basket for the screen being removed. Each
pre-tensioned screen on the separator may be removed individually without removing the
others.
5. Place screen wedges outside the basket in a safe place so they cannot fall into the sump of
the separator or into the mud tanks.
6. Remove the screen panel.
Wash down the screen support area prior to installing a new screen.
7. Replace worn or missing screen seals, screen supports, and crown rubbers. Screen seals
must be replaced in pairs and crown rubbers in sets.
Do not operate the machine without all screen seals and crown rubbers in place. See
section titled "Replacing seal strips and crown rubbers" on page 31.
8. Carefully lay in the new pre-tensioned screen panel.
9. Install screen wedges in designated slots on each side of the basket.
10. Check to see that the screen is straight across the basket and is engaging the retainer pins.
If your screens do not have holes to accommodate the retainer pins, contact your
NOV Brandt representative for assistance in retrofitting your screens. To locate the
NOV Brandt office nearest you, see Chapter 8, titled "Worldwide Locations".
11. Tighten screen wedges using a hammer or pry bar.
12. Check that screen wedges are tightly secured.
13. See Figure 3-3 for the correct screen installation.

Storage
Store the separator in a cool, dry place with the ability to test the unit for three hours once a month.
During storage
If the separator is to be stored after receipt instead of being immediately installed and operated,
the following steps should be taken to ensure that the unit does not degrade during storage.
When stored in a cool, dry location with adequate power:
1. Keep shipping bolts on the shaker at all times while in storage, if movement is possible. The
only exception is when the shaker is tested once a month. After the test or before shipment,
replace the shipping bolts. (See Figure 3-1.)
2. Test the operation of the shaker once a month. This requires connecting power to the
shaker, removing the shipping bolts, and running the shaker for three hours.
3. Open the starter box cover and spray the components with a water displacing solvent (for
example, WD-40®). Allow the solvent to dry, and then close the starter cover tightly. Keep all
other connections intact.
4. Replace the cable with a water-resistant material or short piece of cable if the power source
cable is removed from the starter box coupling. The starter box must be sealed at all times.
When stored outside or with inadequate power:
1. Cover the shaker with a protective tarp if possible.
2. Keep shipping bolts on the shaker at all times while in storage.
3. Replace the cable with a water-resistant material or short piece of cable if the power source
cable is removed from the starter box coupling. The starter box must be sealed at all times.
4. Remove the starter box cover and spray the components with a water displacing solvent (for
example, WD-40®) once a month. Allow solvent to dry then put the starter cover back on
tightly. Keep all other connections intact.
Retur ning to ser vice
Before returning the shaker to service after three or more months of storage, complete the
following steps:
1. Remove motor covers and rotate shafts by hand.
2. Continue to rotate motor shaft while installing 5.7 grams (4 shots from a 400 g grease gun)
of Kluber Isoflex® Topas NB52 or NB152 grease into each bearing.
3. Remove shipping bolts and connect power to the machine.
4. Turn on power supply to unit.
5. Bump start the motors to check the motor rotation direction of the separator as follows:

performance.
6. Run shaker for three hours and monitor motor bearing temperatures. At startup the motors
can run very hot, but after approximately three hours they should not operate at more than
70° F (21° C) above ambient temperature.

General recommendations and

information
Use the same mesh screen on all four panel sections. The cut point is normally determined
by the coarsest mesh screen. If a coarser mesh screen is installed for any reason, it should
be installed at the discharge end.
Use finer mesh screens, rather than coarse mesh screens, where gumbo or sticky clays are
encountered. Finer mesh screens provide a much smoother and wetter surface than coarse
mesh. Gumbo and clay tend to convey better on smoother wetter surfaces and using finer
screens often provides an immediate solution to conveying problems.
Experiment with the basket angle to determine the best setting because conveyance rates
vary with drilling rates and hole conditions.
Use the weir diverter plates in the backtank to balance the flow between two or more
shakers hooked to a common flow line. The weir diverter plates can also be used to change
the flow of the liquid onto the screen surface. Adjust the weir plates to get a less curved
horseshoe to improve overall shaker performance.
If the solids being discarded are channeling to one side of the end screen, the shaker may
be out of level. Correct this situation by shimming the corners of the shaker skid until it is
level.
Close the feed tank bypass valve during normal operation. After opening and closing the
valve, check to make sure that the valve is fully seated. Gravel or hard cuttings may prevent
the bypass valve from providing a positive seal.
Add replacement or makeup water while drilling as required. Adding the water to the feed
tank generally reduces the mud viscosity and allows more efficient screening.
Operate the separator screens wet. Running with dry screens may result in premature
screen failure. Lower the deck angle or install finer mesh screens to extend the liquid pool.
The end of the pool should be on the third screen.
Do not allow substantial amounts of mud to build up inside the vibrating deck. This may
affect the unit’s performance. A buildup of solids on or around the motors may cause
overheating.
Check basket springs for bottoming-out. Worn or weak springs may allow the vibrating deck
to fully collapse the springs under heavy mud loads. This causes unusual vibration patterns
and damage to the unit. Replace springs in pairs, front or rear pair, or all four springs
immediately. Slow bouncing or rocking movements on the basket may indicate spring
problems.
Inspect and replace worn or missing wear strips and crown rubbers. The wear strips provide
a positive seal around the screen panel. Worn or missing seals result in solids bypassing
into the active system. Worn crown rubbers reduce screen panel support, causing poor
conveyance throughout.
Wash down screens before shutting down the unit for any length of time or before storing the
screens.
Do not walk or lay tools on the screens.

Operation
Start up and operation

The following sections provide instructions for normal operation. Before operating the unit(s) make
sure that you performed all steps in section titled "Installation" on page 18. The unit is factory set to
provide a G-force suitable for most drilling applications. Once the unit has been installed, the only
changes or adjustments that should be made are screen mesh and basket angle. Screen selection
depends upon your specified drilling parameters, such as circulating volume, mud viscosity and
penetration rate.
Screen selection is discussed in section titled "General recommendations and

information" on page 22.
Basket angle
The pivoting system is used to change the angle of the screening surfaces relative to the neutral
position (see Figure 4-1).

Figure 4-1. Basket angle adjustment

www.nov.com/brandt
Revision 4 4: Operation
Page 24 of 58
To change the basket angle:

1. Be sure the shipping bolt has been removed. For more information, see Figure 3-1 on page
15.
2. Loosen the jam nut to allow movement of the adjustment bolt.
3. Turn the adjustment bolt counterclockwise to lower the basket, or clockwise to raise the
basket.
4. When the basket is at the desired angle, tighten the jam nut to the base of the adjustment
bracket.
For normal drilling conditions the unit should be operated with the basket tilted between 2° uphill
and 2° downhill so the end of the liquid pool is near the discharge end of the third screen.
Additional uphill incline can be used to handle an increased surge from bottoms up or an
increased rate of penetration. Increasing the basket angle moves the end of the liquid pool toward
the back of the basket, and allows the shaker to handle higher flow rates and/or produce drier
cuttings. The disadvantage of running the basket steeply uphill is the reduced conveyance and a
thicker solids bed. A thicker solids bed causes solids to be ground into smaller pieces, wears out
screens faster, and may increase the amount of fine solids returned to the active mud system.
Cuttings are generally dry enough for most applications when the end of the liquid
pool is near the end of the third screen.
When gumbo or sticky clays are encountered, it may be necessary to lower the basket angle to get
the solids to convey properly. Although some baskets can be lowered to as much as 5° downhill,
running the shaker at a lower angle than necessary requires use of coarser screens to prevent
excess drilling fluid loss.
Screen blinding
If the screen’s openings plug (blind) with sand, there are several methods by which the screen
may be unplugged. If the screens are installed in the separator, rub the screens in a circular
motion with a cloth rag or cloth gloves. Or, with the screen removed, you may try blowing out the
solids from the bottom using high-pressure air or water.
Never use a wire or stiff fiber brush on the screens.
Changing to a finer mesh screen may cause the near size sand that is blinding the screens to be
removed and discarded. Changing to a larger mesh screen may solve the blinding problem, but
increases the amount of solids returned to the active system.
Often it is necessary to experiment with several mesh sizes to minimize blinding while
drilling through unconsolidated sand formations. As a general rule, try finer screens
first.
Salt-water muds sometimes cause calcium deposits to coat the wires in the screen. As the layer of
calcium increases in thickness around the wires, the openings become plugged off. This usually
results in flooding. Steam cleaning usually removes the calcium deposits.

Maintenance & Repair
Maintenance
The separator requires very little maintenance. However, there are several maintenance checks
that, if done on a regular basis, provide extended service and performance.
Lubrication
Motor
Lubricate each bearing on the motors once every operating month (750 hours) per the following
instructions. Use only Kluber Isoflex® Topas NB52 grease (P/N 46AS) for operation in cold
ambient temperatures of -20°F to +50°F (-29°C to +10°C). You may use either NB52 or NB152 (P/
N 46AY) for ambient temperatures of 50°F to 100°F (10°C to 38°C). For hot ambient temperatures
above 100°F (38°C), you must use Isoflex Topas NB152 grease.
Using any grease other than Kluber Isoflex® Topas will void the motor warranty.
Do not mix Isoflex grease with any other grease.
1. Clean vibrator case around grease plug with a clean shop towel.
2. Remove grease plug from vibrator housing.
3. Install 1/8″ NPT grease fitting (P/N 33B) into the vibrator housing. Always use a new grease
fitting. Even small amounts of another grease may cause a negative reaction with the Isoflex
grease.
4. Install 5.7 grams (0.2 oz.) of grease with a grease gun into each grease fitting. 5.7 grams
equals 4 shots from a 400 gram grease gun.
5. Replace the grease fitting with the grease plug.
Do not leave the grease fitting(s) in the vibrator housing.
6. Do not lubricate for another operating month. Too much grease will ruin the motor and void
the warranty.
If the motor has been running and has not been lubricated for more than three months, put
20 shots in each bearing and then four additional shots each month per the above instructions.

13. Reinstall the motor weight covers.

14. Return the shaker to service.
15. After 30 minutes of operation, retorque the motor mounting bolts.
Replacing seal strips and crown rubbers
To replace long wear strips:
1. Remove the old fasteners with a screwdriver and back-up wrench and remove the seal.
2. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly.
3. New seals should be formed prior to installation. When received from the factory, they are
straight, but should be bent upward at each bolt hole.
4. Tighten the seal from the center outward, alternating from side to side. Overtightening the
seal causes deformation and forms a gap between the frame and the seal, which can lead to
screw installation problems or leakage.
To replace side pinned wear strips:
1. Remove the hardware and seal.
2. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly.
3. Insert the new short wear strips with new fasteners, but do not tighten. Note that the pin is
located off center. The clean strip must be mounted with the pin closest to the basket wall.
4. An alignment tool pin is required to set the pin spacing.
5. Place the alignment tool over the pins on both wear strips with the butt of the extended end
against the basket wall. The other end does not touch the basket wall.
6. With the alignment tool still in place, tighten the hardware on one strip and then the other.
The alignment tool may then be removed.
7. Proper installation of the screens is now possible.
To replace crown rubbers:
1. Remove the crown rubbers.
2. Clean the metal support thoroughly.
3. Replace with new crown rubbers.

Martin Engineering M3603-12/01 ii MARTIN® CDX Electric Vibrators

Introduction
Introduction
General MARTIN® Explosion-proof Electric Vibrators, Models CDX, IMX and VMX
are designed and manufactured to ensure the best performance and reliability
in severe-duty applications. These vibrators have an ambient temperature
rating including mounting surface temperature of -4 to 131° F (-20 to 55° C).
If operating the vibrator in environments beyond these temperatures, call
Martin Engineering, as the vibrator may require rating reduction, more
frequent lubrication, or lubrication substitution.
These explosion-proof vibrators have been tested and approved by a European

Notified Body (DEMKO) and Underwriter’s Laboratories Incorporated® (UL)
for U.S. and Canadian installations. These vibrators are approved for use in
Class I, Groups C and D, and Class II, Groups E, F, and G hazardous locations
along with the flame-proof rating of EEx d IIB 120° C (gas and dust-Zone 21)
for Gas Group IIB for a maximum ambient of 40°C (104°F); and for use in
Class I, Group C and D hazardous locations along with the flame-proof rating
of EEx d IIB 160°C (gas) for Gas Group II B for a maximum ambient of 55°C
(131°F).
The following letter designations are used in the model designation:

• CDX (continuous-duty, explosion-proof)
• IMX (continuous-duty, explosion-proof) with a hole pattern identical to
mounts on Invicta Vibrators.
• VMX (continuous-duty, explosion-proof) with a hole pattern identical to
mounts on Vimarc® Vibrators.

Martin Engineering M3603-12/01 1 MARTIN® CDX Electric Vibrators

Introduction
Materials required In addition to metric hand tools, the following materials are required to install
this equipment:
• Rigid beam or mounting plate
• BBAC Cable Kit, P/N 32271, or equivalent
(Mount Kit for Electric Vibrators, P/N 32401-XX includes W-Beam Mount,
mounting hardware, and BBAC Safety Cable Kit.)
Storage Store vibrator in an ambient temperature not less than 41°F (5°C) with a
relative humidity not more than 60%. If the vibrator has been stored for 2 or
more years, remove bearings, wash them, and repack them with new grease
(see “Lubricating Vibrator”).

Before Installing Vibrator
Before Installation
IMPORTANT
The delivery service is responsible for damage occurring in
transit. Martin Engineering CANNOT enter claims for
damages. Contact your transportation agent for more
information.
1. Inspect shipping container for damage. If damage has occurred, report
damage to delivery service and fill out delivery service’s claim form.
2. Remove vibrator from shipping container.
3. If anything is missing, contact Martin Engineering or a representative.
! WARNING
Turn off and lock out/tag out all energy sources.
4. Before installing vibrator, turn off and lock out/tag out all energy sources
to mounting structure according to ANSI standards (see “References”).
! WARNING
Gas level or dust content must be tested before using a cutting
torch or welding. Using a cutting torch or welding in an area
with gas or dust may cause an explosion.
5. If using a cutting torch or welding, test atmosphere for gas level or dust
content.
6. Make sure mounting surface is strong and flat, 0.010 in. (0.25 mm) across
vibrator feet. (This will minimize internal stress to vibrator casting when
tightening mount bolts. Welding in the area of the mounting surface could
affect flatness.)
7. Make sure mounting surface and vibrator are clean and free of debris,
paint, and oxidation.

Installing Vibrator
Installation
IMPORTANT
Mounting vibrator Read entire section before beginning work. This manual
onto structure provides instructions for installations onto steel bins and
hoppers only. For other installations, call Martin Engineering
or a representative.
! CAUTION
If installation instructions are not followed, structure and
vibrator can be damaged. Abusing or dropping vibrator will
accelerate wear and cause bearing damage.
1. See Figure 1. Locate vibrator in lower 1/4 to 1/3 of structure slope length.
If second vibrator is required, mount 180° from first vibrator and halfway
up slope.
Figure 1. Locating Vibrator on Hoppers
! CAUTION
Never weld structure with vibrator mounted and wired.
Welding may cause damage to motor windings and bearings.
IMPORTANT
The object of rotary vibration on bins, hoppers, and chutes is
to transmit vibration through the wall into the product
contained inside. If structure is not made rigid, vibrator may
draw high amperage and move material less efficiently.
Make sure structure is free of paint before mounting vibrator.
2. If using customer-supplied mounting plate to mount vibrator onto
structure, do the following:
a. Make sure plate is at least the size of vibrator base.
b. Locate plate so that vibrator can be positioned as shown in Figure 2.
c. Weld mounting plate onto structure.
Installation
3. If using MARTIN W-Beam Mount (or equivalent) or T-beam to mount
vibrator onto structure (see Figure 2), do the following:
a. Locate beam so that vibrator can be positioned as shown in Figure 2.
b. Extend beam at least 3/4 the length of sloped wall. Cut off end(s) of
beam if necessary to fit on structure.
c. Skip-weld beam in place: Weld 3 in. (76 mm), then skip 2 in. (51 mm).
Repeat for entire perimeter of beam. Do not weld last 1 in. (25 mm) of
either end of beam or any corner.
d. Install vibrator onto W-beam mount or ECF bracket.

! CAUTION
Before running cord to vibrator, make sure cord voltage
rating equals or exceeds the voltage at which you will be
operating the vibrator. It must have a minimum temperature
rating of 222°F (105°C).
1. Remove wiring cover, O-ring, and rubber compression block. Install
elbow or conduit fitting as appropriate. Install cord so that cord jacket
extends into wiring compartment approximately 1 inch. Complete
installation of wiring kit #2 or #3 in accordance with their installation
instructions.
IMPORTANT
When wiring vibrator, leave slack in electrical cable so that
cable does not become taut during vibration cycle and cause
stress on wire connections. On applications where moisture is
present, leave enough slack in power cable to prevent moisture
from running down cable into vibrator.

3. If overload trips during operation, fix problem before resetting.

Installation
! CAUTION
For equipment using two vibrators, the two vibrators must be
electrically interlocked. If using a single contactor, each
vibrator must be provided with separate overload protection.
The vibrator control circuit must be arranged so that if one
vibrator becomes de-energized, the other vibrator will
automatically and immediately become de-energized. Failure
to properly interlock vibrators could result in damage to
equipment if one vibrator fails.
4. If using two vibrators, interlock the two vibrators and install separate
overload protection for each.

After Installing Vibrator
After Installation
IMPORTANT
Read entire section before beginning work.
Checking shaft 1. Remove one weight cover.
rotation
! WARNING
Before checking shaft rotation, make sure area is known to be
non-hazardous.
! CAUTION
DO NOT run vibrator with eccentric weights removed.
Running vibrator with eccentric weights removed will
damage bearings.
! WARNING
When checking shaft rotation with weight cover removed,
keep hands away from swinging weights. Weights can crush
fingers.
2. Start vibrator(s) only for a few seconds, then stop.
3. Observe direction of vibrator rotation. If vibrator is not rotating in correct
direction, lock out/tag out energy source and reverse rotation. To reverse
rotation of three-phase vibrator, reverse any two of the three power supply
wires.
4. Replace weight cover, taking care not to pinch o-ring.

NOTE
After Installation
Adjusting All Vibrators have one set of eccentric weights on each end of
eccentric weights shaft. Eccentric weights are set at 50% at factory. See Figure
10.
The percentage increments on the weight adjustment disks are
percentages of the total force pounds listed on the nameplate.
For example, if the nameplate shows 8340 lb, setting the
weights to 50% would produce 4170 pounds of force.
IMPORTANT
For the most efficient operation, vibrator eccentric weights
should be adjusted to the lowest force setting required to move
the material. This will increase vibrator life and reduce energy
costs.
! WARNING
Before adjusting eccentric weights, turn off and lock out/tag
out energy source to vibrator.
1. Turn off and lock out/tag out energy source to vibrator according to ANSI
standards (see “References”).
2. Remove weight cover.
3. Loosen nut or screw (A, Figure 9) so adjustable weight (B) will rotate
around shaft (C).

If vibrator is operated continuously with line current above
nameplate rating, vibrator can be damaged.
4. After a few hours of operation, check each line current. If reading is
higher than nameplate rating, check for correct phase voltage ensuring
that it is correct and balanced. If phase voltages are correct (± 10% of
nameplate rating) and balanced, recheck wiring, ensure that mounting
bolts are correctly installed, or contact Martin Engineering for assistance.
After making adjustments, check line current again to ensure line current
does not exceed nameplate rating.
5. After first 8 hours of use and periodically thereafter, check mounting bolt
torque and tighten if necessary.
! CAUTION
Variable All vibrators can be supplied with a pulse-width modulated
frequency inverter variable frequency inverter. NEVER operate the vibrator at a
frequency higher than that specified on the nameplate.
Damage to vibrator can result.
Do not operate vibrator at frequency higher than specified on nameplate.

Throughout frequency range, verify that each line current does not exceed
current rating on nameplate. If reading is higher than nameplate, consult
inverter manual. If necessary, adjust inverter. After making adjustment, check
line current again to ensure line current does not exceed nameplate rating.
