DANGER
Disregarding the order-specific zones
– Make sure the machine is in the zone where it is supposed to oper-
ate. You can find this in your product documentation folder.
1. Read the product documentation thoroughly.
MULTICOR K is intended for use in areas where explosive mixtures of

dust and air are likely to occur occasionally or rarely, depending on the
design.

Safety notes
MULTICOR K is intended for industrial above-ground use as defined in

the EC guideline 94/9/EG, resulting in the following classification:
Equipment group II
Categories 2D and 3D (category or categories, depending upon the or-
der-specific design). From the operating company's perspective, that
means the following zones:
Dust: 21, 22 (zone(s), depending on the order-specific design)
The external areas of MULTICOR are designed for operation in compli-
ance with the specified characteristics while providing a high level of
safety. The MULTICOR operator defines the zone where MULTICOR is
supposed to be operated for specific orders.
You have to find the specific zone(s) MULTICOR is suited for in the data
for specific orders.
Always comply with the documents for specific orders for the zone(s)
MULTICOR is suited to.
1.7.2 Internal Areas

There might be a constant, long-term or frequent explosive atmosphere
consisting of mixtures of dust/air inside MULTICOR.
MULTICOR K is classified as category 1D in terms of the EC guide-
line 94/9/EG in the area in which components come into contact with the
bulk materials.
From the perspective of the operating company this is zone 20 (dust).
An explosive atmosphere made of mixtures of air and gases, fumes or
mists cannot develop on the inside of MULTICOR. The inside parts of
MULTICOR offer a very high level of safety when the specified design
parameters of the MULTICOR are complied with.

Safety notes
1.7.3 Range of Bulk Materials

MULTICOR K has been designed for continuous feeding and transport of
dustlike combustibles, such as e.g. hard coal, brown coal, petrol coke,
alternative fuels and flue ash, as well as any mixtures of these materials,
as are used primarily for firing rotary kilns for the manufacture of cement.
Only those bulk solids may be fed or transported that Schenck Process
have intended for the MULTICOR K and which are specified in the order-
specific data.
Please observe the following bulk material properties:
▪ Minimum ignition power greater than 3 J at maximum dust tem-
perature.
▪ Minimum ignition temperature ≥ 400 C.
Maximum bulk materi- Maximum surface tem- Maximum smoldering

als temperature Ts [°C] perature Dust EX [°C] temperature [°C]
80 135 210
100 155 235
Tab. 1 : Surface temperature dependent on the maximum bulk materials temper-

ature
The smoldering temperature of the relevant deposited dust must be at

least 75 K above the maximum surface temperature of the equipment.
No electrostatically chargeable materials may be fed/transported as
there is danger of ignition from electrostatic discharge. If you intend to
feed such bulk materials nevertheless, contact Schenck Process before-
hand.
Feeding of pyrophoric, chemically unstable or catalyzing bulk ma-
terials is prohibited as there is a risk of spontaneous combustion. If you
intend to feed such bulk materials nevertheless, contact
Schenck Process beforehand and ensure that the operating company
has sufficient chemical expertise.
Appropriate steps should be taken to avoid foreign particles enter-
ing the bulk material or smolder spots.

Safety notes
1.7.4 Acceptable Limit Speed
DANGER
The presence of ignition sources inside of the machine by exceed-
ing the acceptable limit speed
Explosion with risk of fatal injury.
– Ignition sources must not be allowed to develop inside the machine.
1. Make sure that the acceptable limit speeds are observed.
⇨ Safe operation.
The limit speeds indicated here must be strictly observed and must not
be exceeded.

Max. speed [min-1] 441 400 423 231
Max. peripheral speed [m/s] 6.7 6.7 8.42 5.56
Maximum drive output [kW] 0.55 0.55 1.1 2.2
Tab. 2 : Limit speeds
1.8 Non-Intended Use

Improper use of MULTICOR applies when:
▪ bulk solid that has not been approved by Schenck Process or is not
specified for MULTICOR is conveyed or fed.
▪ MULTICOR is not operated when closed so that bulk solids can es-
cape or foreign particles can penetrate including media not intended
for processing with MULTICOR (such as bulk solids or fumes).
▪ The dimensioning limits are exceeded.
▪ Ignition sources are introduced into the MULTICOR (e.g. foreign par-
ticles that could cause strike sparks, smoldering material and similar
sources).
▪ MULTICOR is operated without the required monitored air supply.

Safety notes
1.9 Zone Entrainment
DANGER
Dust deposits on or in the area of the machine
Danger to life from the explosion of a flammable combination of dust/air.
– There may not be any dust deposits on or in the area of the ma-
chine.
1. Never clean with compressed air! The turbulence can cause a
flammable mixture of dust/air!
2. Check the machine and drive groups for dust deposits on a regular
basis.
3. Vacuum the deposits of machine surfaces and the drive sets. Use a
vacuum cleaner suited and approved to the Ex zone!
4. In case of doubt, get in contact with the manufacturer.
A potentially explosive atmosphere can also form when there are leaks
caused by damage, even if the machine is operated in an area with no
potentially explosive atmosphere.
There is a potential risk of explosion due to e.g.:
▪ dust deposits in the form of smoldering material on hot surfaces ca-
pable of igniting a dust/ air mixture,
▪ sudden swirling dust producing a dust/ air mixture that can come into
contact with an ignition source,
▪ an ignitable mixture of dust and air created when MULTICOR is
opened for service work.
Perform routine inspections to ensure that no substantial dust deposits
as defined in explosion protection guidelines are able to form on or near
MULTICOR. Take appropriate measures to ensure that a potentially ex-
plosive atmosphere does not develop.

Safety notes
1.10 Explosion Shock-Pressure Resistant Construction
Safety Concept
Follow the data with the safety concept in the manual BV-H 2021. The
MULTICOR K is designed for an explosion overpressure of up to 16 bar.
Maximum operating pressures up to 0.6 bar are allowed during normal
operation.
An explosion decoupling mechanism (e.g. flameproof starfeeder)
must be included between the storage hopper and the
MULTICOR K, depending on system configuration, to prevent flames
from passing into the MULTICOR K or into downstream conveyor lines in
case of a dust explosion in the storage hopper.
DANGER
Disregarding the inspection and maintenance intervals
Danger of life from explosion. Explosion pressure shock strength is no
longer guaranteed.
1. Observe the inspection and maintenance intervals.
2. Read the manual carefully.
DANGER
Incorrect or faulty installation into the higher-order system
Danger of life from explosions. Explosion pressure shock strength is not
guaranteed.
1. Comply with the assembly instructions in this manual.
2. Read the manual carefully.
In particular, all seals, screw connections, housings and their flanges

must be in good condition. The machine may be operated in a closed
state only.

Important Operating Instructions
3 Important Operating Instructions
3.1 Electrical Equipment

All electrical operating equipment has to be checked, certified and wired
for the category or zone it is supposed to be used in (plant wiring).
3.1.1 Control signals with malfunctions
DANGER
Unacceptable MULTICOR control
– MULTICOR may only be used together with the control unit sup-
plied.
1. Only use the control unit supplied.
⇨ Safe operation.
For instance, the control unit supplied indicates a fault from being out-
side of the measuring range where the measuring rotor is grinding unac-
ceptably against stationary components (such as due to foreign particles
or damage).
Please proceed as follows in this case:
▪ Stop the machine immediately.
▪ Check the measuring rotor.
▪ Replace damaged parts immediately.
▪ Restore the intended state for MULTICOR before starting it up.
3.2 Air Supply
DANGER
Incorrect operation of the MULTICOR K
– Follow the instructions in the manual.
1. Read them thoroughly and contact the manufacturer in case of any
questions.
⇨ Safe operation.
MULTICOR K is to be used only in combination with a secured air flush-

ing mechanism for the shaft and measuring bearing seals for explosion
protection. The equipment supplied is therefore equipped with an inte-
grated air supply monitor which immediately stops the MULTICOR K in
the event of an interruption of the air supply.

Important Operating Instructions
The required quality of the air supply must be guaranteed during opera-
tion. Follow the instructions in the manuals BV-H2021 and BV-H2273.
The air supply is necessary for safe operation over time in terms of ex-
plosion protection.
Operation of the machine without the proper air supply will result in the
degrading of the measuring function and increased wear of the shaft
seals.
A pressure switch monitors the pressure pending in the compressed-air
pipe for the air flushing of the bearing seals. The device is switched off if
the pressure falls below a minimum.
3.3 EMC Requirements

Always comply with the EMC conditions necessary for operation. You
can read other information in the product documentation folder for the
electrical equipment.
3.4 Converter Mode

Converter mode electrical motors have to be suited for and certified for
their category. Any limit speeds specified in the "Intended use" section
must not be exceeded in converter mode under any circumstances.
For converters installed by the customer, appropriate measures must be
taken to prevent unwanted adjustment of the permissible limit speeds.
3.5 Lightning Protection

Secure the plant against overvoltage and implement it as per local and
state regulations. Overvoltage can be induced by lightning strikes in the
vicinity of the supply and measuring lines or the network cable.
We therefore offer additional protection modules and additional protec-
tive measures for the required protection that are described in the manu-
al BV-H2059.

Assembly/Installation
4 Assembly/Installation
DANGER
Disregarding the applicable installation regulations for operating
equipment in explosion hazard areas
1. Comply with the instructions in the manual.
Read the MULTICOR K manuals BV-H2021 and BV-H2273, which can

be found in your product documentation folder.
4.1 Mechanical System
DANGER
Disregarding the instructions on maintenance and inspection
Personal injury and severe damage to property.
1. Please read the reasons for required inspection and all instructions
on maintenance and repair in the manuals and product documenta-
tion folder.
2. Read the information thoroughly.
Only assemble and set up MULTICOR according to the specifications

from documentations. MULTICOR always has to be firmly connected
with the upstream and downstream plant components to prevent such
things as bulk solids escaping at the joints.
4.1.1 Compressed Air Connection
DANGER
Incorrect operation of the MULTICOR
questions.
⇨ Safe operation.

DANGER
Connect and operate the machine as detailed in the product docu-
mentation folder
Only in this way is it possible to ensure safe operation.
– All connections must be correctly made and sealed.
1. Read the product documentation for your machine and contact the
manufacturer if there are any questions.
⇨ Safe operation.
Ensure that the MULTICELL has been connected and is operated ac-
cording to the instructions in the manuals and that all connections are
sealed.
4.2 Electrical System

The MULITICOR mass flow rate measuring instrument should only be
used in connection with the electronic evaluation equipment supplied. It
registers any friction and impact processes caused by faults as an unu-
sual measurement error and automatically turns the machine off.
The machine's measuring function registers any friction or impact pro-
cesses caused by faults as an unusual measurement error. This meas-
urement error automatically turns off the machine with the hardware con-
trol mechanism.
This is guaranteed by the fact that the parameters of the supplied elec-
tronic evaluation equipment and evaluation software are set at the facto-
ry. A power failure does not produce any hazardous situation in the
MULTICOR mass flow rate measuring instrument.
4.2.1 Potential Equalization

MULTICOR is equipped with potential equalization lines for switching on
upstream and downstream plant components on the housing. They have
to be incorporated into the external potential equalization for the entire
system as per the building regulations in force.
4.2.2 Cathodic Corrosion Protection

If a plant is equipped with cathodic corrosion protection, a small amount
of current continuously flows over the housing construction. This is not
allowed for use on the MULTIDOS standard variant, unless special
measures have been taken. Please consult Schenck Process if you are
planning to implement cathodic corrosion protection.

4.2.3 Pipes
Only use lines suitable for the application and observe the standards
specified by the valid erection regulations.
4.2.4 Shieldings
Shielding have to be used as per the building regulations and connected
to the low external voltage ground at low impedance at least in the safe
area.
Shielding may also be connected to ground in the explosion danger area
if they
▪ are connected through a (small) capacitor (refer to building regula-
tions) or
▪ are protected by a stronger parallel PA (no hazard from sparks
and/or heat from electricity).
4.2.5 Motor Protective Switch

Please proceed as follows:
▪ Precisely adjust the trigger for the motor protective elements to the
machine.
▪ Do not forget adjustments in height.
▪ Note the parameters set in the documents.
▪ Design on-site trigger characteristics for drives with the "increased
safety" ignition protection type.

OBSERVE
The time intervals are average values
The periods of time should be kept shorter depending on the bulk solids.
– The time intervals have to be coordinated to the bulk solids.
1. The expert personnel have to define time intervals for explosion pro-
tection.
⇨ Safe operation.
The time intervals can be extended as long as they do not cause any
explosion hazard.

Inspection
5.2 Thoroughness of the Inspection Steps (V, P, D)
STRICTLY OBSERVE
The procedure for inspection
The sequence of inspections.
– The intervals are selected in such a way that also a visual inspection
is performed during the close inspection and that during the detailed
inspection also visual and close inspections are to be carried out.
1. Please maintain the sequence.
⇨ Safe operation.
S = visual inspection
A visual inspection is an inspection where visible faults are discovered
without using tools or accessing equipment, for instance such things as
missing screws or damage.
N = close-up test
This is an inspection where faults are discovered in addition to the as-
pects of visual inspection such as loose screws that can only be identi-
fied by using tools and access equipment such as steps (wherever nec-
essary). Usually, you need not open a housing for close inspections nor
disconnect the equipment from the mains.
D = detailed inspection
This is an inspection where faults are discovered in addition to aspects
of the close-up test such as loose connections that can only be identified
by opening the housing and/or (wherever necessary) using tools and
testing equipment.

The measuring gear can be inspected indirectly as the measuring sig-
nals react rapidly and sensitively to any damage in the interior of the
measuring gear.
Observe the following criteria when indirectly checking the measuring
gear (assuming that there are no other causes for the deviations):
▪ The evaluation electronics' zero point wanders.
▪ Control measurements of the feed results are inaccurate because
– Measuring bearing is damaged or soiled, or
– there are foreign particles in the measuring rotor that are causing
grinding.
▪ There are audible abnormal operating noises.
▪ The measuring gear has a temperature of over 100 °C for bulk mate-
rials with temperatures of ≤ 80 °C.
