INTRODUCTION
The vibrators power supply has been designed to keep in vibration the feeded system giving it

.c
the necessary energy exactly when required.
The most common application of this device is the feeding of the electro-magnets excitation
coils which are installed in the vibrating system, linear and circular, usually employed as feeding
devices in automation systems.
ck
All the feeders traditionally used supply the load with a fixed frequency depending on power
mains.
he
As we have to fit the springset to the feeding frequency we don’t have satisfactory
results.
To approach as soon as possible the resonance condition, the manufacturer of this feeding
system is obliged to do many adjustments on the springset supporting the container of the pieces to
kC

feed.
This complicated operation seldom reaches the resonance condition1.
Using the vibrators power supply, to change the feeding frequency in order to reach the
oc

resonance condition, it is sufficient to regulate the 4 rotating switches placed on the front panel.
Having the possibility to adjust the feeding frequency to the springset the improvements
reached are immediately verifiable.
As the regulation above mentioned can be made while the system is in motion, in a few
St

minutes you can find the best feeding frequency and obtain from the system the best performances.
This device proved utility also after the first installation because as the springset change its
elasticity on the time in consequence of the enervation of the material.
It is possible to keep unchanged the system performances by the years.

1RESONANCE CONDITION: It is the frequency by which the feeding system delivers the minimum energy to
obtain the maximum vibration: The system is composed by the springset and the container of the products to be
feeded.

 DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The vibrators power supply is very compact and easy to install.

With reference to the drawing at the bottom of this manual, it will be very simple to identify the
most important components.
Two holes (diam. 6 mm) will allow to fix the box to the structure which will support the device.
Electrical connections are made with a 6 and with a 9 poles terminal box (see wiring options
table at page 9).
The mains supply is protected with fuses inside the box.

om
The vibration frequency is selected with 4 rotating selectors (SW1) located on front panel (the
most left digit are hundreds of Hz, the second are tens, the third are units and the most right are
tenths of Hz).

.c
The vibration intensity may be regulated with a potentiometer or through a voltage reference 0-
5V (the minimum and maximum limits of potentiometer may be regulated with trimmers MIN e
ck
MAX accessible on front panel).

Overloads are limited electronically (by a circuit with autoreset) and are signaled from a red led.
he
The power supply is shipped with autostart on power-on (switch SW2 on front panel = up).

Note: The guts of the vibrator must be grounded with a appropriate wire.
Before supplyng the device verify that there are not ground dispersions on
St

wires connecting the power supply to the vibrator; The power supply will be
damaged if one of the two output wires is grounded.

 STARTUP

• Verify that mains breaker is in OFF position

• Put the voltage reference at about 20%
• Verify switch SW2 (red) lever status (if is up the power supply will start as soon as
supplied, if is down the external start command is required)
• Verify if the trimmer P1 (min) is rotated fully counterclockwise and if the trimmer
P2 (max) is rotated fully clockwise

om
• Verify that all connections are fastened
• Put rotating switches SW1 at 050.0 if a output frequency of 050.0 Hz is required
• Connect the mains breaker (230 Vac)
• If start command is active the vibrator will be supplied at the frequency selected

.c
with rotating switches SW1 (50 Hz) and at the voltage defined from the voltage
reference. ck
In practice, the search of the resonance frequency is made by checking the effects on the
product feeding obtained by regulating the selectors SW1 values.
Usually the resonance frequency is not too far from the rated (for a 50 Hz vibrator should be
between 45 and 55 Hz), but also a little frequency change will determine a significant speed change.
he
Than, proceed by further guesses until you find the position of the rotating switches SW1
which determines the resonance condition.
Then, after having reached it increase (or decrease) the reference value to obtain the required
kC

vibration level.
During the research stage it is suitable that the reference voltage remains at 20% of the
end of scale (about 1 volt).
If, increasing the reference value, the green led DL1 switches off whereas the red one DL2
oc

switches on and the vibrator stops, it means that the device is in overload; decrease the reference
value and the power supply will automatically reset the overload condition.

OPENING INSTRUCTIONS
As on the electronic card there are some capacitors with high voltage applied (presence of
residuary energy, danger of strike) you must wait at least 4 - 5 minutes after the device is
C

disconnected from the power supply, before opening the box.

Remove the four screws on the panel.
