Introduction

Introduction
General MARTIN® Electric Screen Vibrators, Models SV and SVX are designed and
manufactured to ensure the best performance and reliability in severe-duty
applications. The screen vibrator has an ambient temperature rating including
mounting surface temperature of -4 to 104°F (-20 to 40°C). If operating the
screen vibrator in environments beyond these temperatures, call Martin
Engineering, as the vibrator may require rating reduction, more frequent
lubrication, or lubrication substitution.

The explosion-proof screen vibrators (SVX models) have been tested and
approved by a European Notified Body (DEMKO) and Underwriter’s
Laboratories Incorporated® (UL) for U.S. and Canadian installations. The
SVX screen vibrator is approved for use in Class I, Groups C and D, and Class
II, Groups E, F, and G hazardous locations along with the ATEX flame-proof
rating for Gas Group IIB of Ex d IIB T4.

! 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 screen vibrator rotation. If screen 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. See Figure 9 or 10 for proper rotation.
4. Replace weight cover, taking care not to pinch o-ring.

After Installation

1. Close power supply disconnect switch and allow screen vibrator(s) to

checking line operate.
current 2. If vibrator makes unusual or excessive noise, make sure mounting bolts
are tight.

! WARNING
Vibrator may produce loud noise during operation when
mounted on structure. See OSHA 1910.95 for guidelines. If
required, wear ear protection to avoid impairment or loss of
hearing.
3. Check decibel level of vibrator noise during operation. See OSHA
1910.95 to determine whether noise exceeds safe limits. If required, wear
ear protection to avoid impairment or loss of hearing.

! CAUTION
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 screen vibrators can be supplied with a pulse-width
frequency inverter modulated variable frequency inverter. NEVER operate the
screen vibrator at a frequency higher than that specified on
the nameplate. Damage to vibrator can result.

Do not operate screen 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.

Maintenance

Maintenance
Lubricating
vibrator IMPORTANT
Read entire section before beginning work. Allow vibrator to
cool to ambient temperature before working on it.

NOTE
All vibrators are lubricated at the factory.

! CAUTION
Use only prescribed grease in vibrator. If a different grease is
used, vibrator can be damaged and warranty will be void.
Use only prescribed amount of grease to lubricate vibrator.
Too much grease will cause bearings to overheat and result in
premature bearing failure.

1. Unless specified otherwise, lubricate the vibrator with 6.5 grams of

Kluber Isoflex Topas NB 52 grease after the initial 500 hours of
operation, and 13 grams every 1000 hours thereafter.
2. If screen vibrator housing temperatures exceed 194°F (90°C), cut
lubrication time and amount in half for every 18°F (10°C) increment that
meets or exceeds 194°F (90°C). For example, for operating temperature
of 204°F (96°C), use 6.5 grams of grease per bearing every 500 hours.
(Maximum bearing temperature allowed is 248°F [120°C].)

NOTE
Kluber grease may be purchased from Martin Engineering by
calling 800-544-2947 or from Kluber Lubrication by calling
888-455-8237.
3. For SV and SVX Model Vibrators, lubricate with Kluber Isoflex Topas
NB 52 grease only. Lubricate as follows:
a. Clean vibrator at each pipe plug in bearing flanges to remove dirt and
debris. Remove pipe plug in each flange. Insert 1/8 in. NPT grease
fitting. Add grease. Remove grease fittings; tightly replace pipe plugs.

Repairing screen
Maintenance

Repairing vibrator or replacing bearings yourself during the

vibrator and warranty period may cause the warranty to be void. Contact
replacing bearings Martin Engineering if motor needs repair or if bearings need
to be replaced.

If screen vibrator needs repair or if bearings need to be replaced, call your

local representative or Martin Engineering at 800-544-2947 for instructions.

Inspecting At least quarterly, inspect cable and connections as follows:

vibrator
! WARNING
Before inspecting vibrator, 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. Inspect cable for damage including cuts and abrasions. Replace if
damaged.
3. Inspect ground connection. Make sure resistance from ground connection
to screen vibrator enclosure does not exceed 0.1 ohm. Ensure screw on
ground terminal is tightened to proper torque (see Table I).
4. Make sure all nuts on connections on terminal block are tightened to
proper torque. Do not overtighten (see Table I).
5. Check mounting bolt torque. See “Mounting Vibrator Onto Screen.”
