Martin Engineering M3286-8/01 1 MOTOMAGNETIC ® Electric Vibrators
Introduction
General MARTIN ® MOTOMAGNETIC ® Electric Vibrators (CD models) are designed
and manufactured to ensure the best performance and reliability in severe-
duty applications. The vibrator motor has a recommended operational
ambient temperature and mounting surface temperature range of -22 to 104° F
(-30 to 40° C). If operating the motor in environments beyond these
temperatures, call Martin Engineering, as the vibrator may require rating
reduction, more frequent lubrication, or lubrication substitution.
The explosion-proof MOTOMAGNETIC ® Electric Vibrators (CDX models)
have been tested and approved by Underwriters Laboratories Incorporated ®
(UL) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for use in Class I, Groups
C and D, and Class II, Groups E, F, and G hazardous locations. CDX Vibrators
have been approved by KEMA for Gas Group IIB and have the flame-proof
rating of EEx d IIB T4. CDX vibrators are rated for a maximum ambient
temperature of 104°F (40°C).
This manual provides instructions for installation onto steel bins and hoppers
only. For installation onto other structures, call Martin Engineering or a
representative.
