SD Scale Diverter Valve Operator Manual INTRODUCTION Chapter 1 RECEIVING YOUR EQUIPMENT As soon as the SD Scale Diverter Valve is received, it should be carefully inspected to make certain the unit sustained no damage during shipment and that all items on the packing list are accounted for. All damage or shortages should be noted on the Bill of Lading. The purchaser must take immediate steps to file reports and damage claims with the carrier. All damages incurred during transit are the responsibility of the common carrier if the equipment was shipped FOB. Ownership passes to purchaser when the unit is loaded and accepted by carrier. By law, any claims for in-transit damage or shortage must be brought against the carrier by the purchaser. HANDLING AND STORAGE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT If the valve is not going to be installed soon after arrival, it should be stored in a dry location to protect against rust and corrosion. The SD Scale Diverter Valve is shipped from the factory mounted on a heavy shipping skid and with the inlet and outlet ports covered to prevent foreign materials from entering the scale valve during shipping. It is recommended that the valve remain bolted to the skid with the inlet and outlet ports covers in place until just prior to installation. Transport the valve from the unloading site to the installation or storage site by using a forklift or hand-truck to pick it up by the skid. After the valve is removed from the skid, it should be lifted using two heavy lifting straps securely fastened and tied off around the valve body. See Figure 1-1 below for position of the lifting straps. Lifting Strap Locations Figure 1-1 Scale Valve Lifting Locations Revision May 13, 1998 1-3 MAC Equipment, Inc.

Although it may be impossible to prevent all accidents, those involving SD Scale Diverter Valves are completely preventable with the right combination of training, operating practices, safety devices and operator vigilance. The purpose of this safety section is to educate valve users about hazards and unsafe practices, and to recommend hazard avoidance techniques. Signal Words and Symbols It is very important that operators and maintenance personnel understand the words and symbols that are used to communicate safety information. Signal words, their meaning and format have been standardized for U.S. manufacturers and published by ANSI. The European Community (E.C.) has adopted a different format based on the International Standards Organization ( I.S.O.) and applicable machinery directives. Both formats are presented below. Graphic symbols are not standardized, but most manufacturers will use some variation of the ones seen in this manual. The signal words and symbols used in this manual or on the scale valve are described below. Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury and/or property damage. Revision May 13, 1998 2-1 MAC Equipment, Inc. SD Scale Diverter Valve Operator Manual Chapter 2 SAFETY Provides additional information that the operator needs to be aware of to avoid a potentially hazardous situation. Mandatory Lockout Power Symbol. Disconnect, lockout and tagout electrical and compressed air sources and bleed off all residual air before inspecting, cleaning or performing maintenance on this scale valve. Mandatory Lockout Tagout Action Symbol (I.S.O. format). This symbol instructs the operator to disconnect, lockout and tagout all electrical power and compressed air sources and bleed off all residual air before inspecting, servicing or cleaning a scale valve. International Safety Alert Symbol. The exclamation point (!) surrounded by a yellow triangle indicates that an injury hazard exists. However, it does not indicate the seriousness of the potential injury. An exclamation point (!) is used with the DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION warnings. When used in conjunction with these symbols, the potential injury is indicated. Compressed Air Hazard Symbol. This symbol indicates that a compressed air hazard exists and injury could result from contacting an exposed air stream and flying projectiles. The potential injuries include puncture wounds to the eyes, face and other body parts, and could result in blindness. Electrocution Hazard Symbol. This symbol indicates that an electrocution hazard exists. Serious injury or death could result from contacting high voltage. International Electrocution Hazard Symbol.

SD Scale Diverter Valve Operator Manual Chapter 2 HAZARD REVIEW & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY The most common scale valve hazards and their potential injuries are described below. Although this is not an exhaustive list, it does cover those hazards which are most likely to be encountered. Crush/Pinch Point Hazard SD Scale Diverter Valves contain moving parts that could crush or pinch body parts and shear them off. Contact with a moving blade could amputate fingers, hands, arms or legs. Crush and pinch point hazards are dangerous. The pinch point hazard is located inside the SD Scale Diverter Valve and is not exposed during normal operation. Crush or pinch accidents can occur when operators reach into a valve inlet or outlet port and inadvertently contact a moving blade. These accidents can be prevented by locking out the air supply and bleeding off residual air in the air cylinder and connected air lines prior to servicing or inspecting the valve. Compressed Air Hazard Scale valve actuators store compressed air that, if released uncontrollably, could eject small particles and cause puncture wounds to the eyes, face or other body parts. A compressed air hazard is created when compressed air stored in the actuator or plant air system is released in an uncontrolled manner such as when disconnecting or cutting an air line. The escaping gas can pick up and hurl small particles at high velocities. These flying particles can puncture eyes or skin, causing severe injury. This hazard can be avoided by locking out the air supply and bleeding the residual air off slowly prior to servicing or inspecting the scale valve. Always wear safety glasses, gloves and long sleeve shirts when working on a scale valve to provide additional personal protection. Revision May 13, 1998 2-5 MAC Equipment, Inc. SD Scale Diverter Valve Operator Manual Chapter 2 SAFETY Electrocution Hazard Severe burns or death may result from contact with exposed high voltage sources. Electrocution accidents are most likely to occur during maintenance of the electrical system or when working on or near exposed high voltage wiring. Solenoids and position proof switches are typically the only devices found on an SD Scale Diverter Valve that may use high voltage power sources. This hazard does not exist when the electrical power has been disconnected, properly locked and tagged out. Automatic Start Hazard This valve may actuate without warning, causing serious injury. STAY CLEAR. SD Scale Diverter Valves are usually controlled by an automated system and may start without warning. However, automatic startup by itself is not a hazard. Failure to properly disconnect, lockout and tagout all electrical energy and compressed air sources while inspecting, servicing or attempting to dislodge material creates this very hazardous situation. Serious personal injury may result. Revision May 13, 1998 2-6 MAC Equipment, Inc.

SD Scale Diverter Valve Operator Manual Chapter 4 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION SD Scale Diverter Valves are specialized switching devices used in a pneumatic conveying line. Normally it is used to divert material from a pneumatic conveying line into a scale hopper. PROCESS DESCRIPTION When actuated, the two separate blades rotate from a horizontal position to an inclined position. As they do, the direct path through the valve is closed off and the alternate path through the outlet at the bottom of the valve opens. Material and air are directed into the scale hopper. At the same time, convey air is allowed to escape through a second port on the bottom of the valve and down the conveying line. The figure below shows the two positions of the blades and the flow lines. Flow Direction Thru Position Flow Direction Divert Position Figure 4-1 SD Process Illustration Revision May 13, 1998 4-1 MAC Equipment, Inc. SD Scale Diverter Valve Operator Manual Chapter 5 INSTALLATION Inspecting the Scale Valve Support INSTALLATION This SD Scale Diverter Valve is shipped with internal components pre-assembled at the factory. However, installation of the valve in the system is the responsibility of the owner and consists of: z Inspecting the valve z Installing the valve on the scale hopper or other hopper z Connecting the upstream and downstream conveying lines z Plumbing plant air to the control valves z Wiring the solenoid and position proof switches Make an inspection of the SD Scale Diverter Valve before proceeding with the installation: 1. Remove the packing material. If the valve is mounted on a shipping skid, leave the skid in place temporarily. 2. Be sure there is no foreign material lodged inside the valve. 3. Be sure the solenoid valve and position proof switches have not been damaged. The SD Scale Diverter Valve is supported by the scale hopper. This hopper and associated support structure must be designed and supplied by the owner. It must be designed to carry the weight of the valve. Figure 5-1 Mounting a SD Valve Revision May 13, 1998 5-1 MAC Equipment, Inc. SD Scale Diverter Valve Operator Manual Chapter 5 Grounding INSTALLATION It is important to provide a ground path from the convey line to the SD Scale Diverter Valve. One way this can be done is to wrap a ground wire around the flex hose. The distance between the coils should not exceed 6 inches. If this is not done, a static charge can build up and discharge periodically. These sparks could ignite an explosion if the right conditions are present. Figure 5-2 Flex Hose Connection 1. 2. 3. 4. Installation Steps Convey Line Hose Clamp Ground Wire Flexible Hose Only trained and authorized persons should be permitted to install, service, or maintain electrical components. It is the buyer’s/installer’s responsibility to ensure that all applicable electrical codes are met. Care must be taken when interlocking any type of motion or position sensing device to the control circuits of upstream and downstream systems. Failure to fully understand and account for the requirements of the entire system can create hazardous conditions resulting in personal injury and/or property damage. Revision May 13, 1998 5-2 MAC Equipment, Inc. SD Scale Diverter Valve Operator Manual Chapter 5 INSTALLATION Disconnect, lockout and tagout electrical power and compressed air sources and bleed off residual air before installing and wiring this scale diverter valve. Procedure Revision May 13, 1998 The installation steps below assume that the SD Scale Diverter Valve is being installed on a scale hopper. The procedure is virtually identical when connecting to other types of hoppers. Connect the valve as follows: 1. Clean the surface of the mounting flange on the scale hopper. 2. Install the flange gasket on the scale hopper mounting flange. If a flange gasket is not available, a bead of silicone caulk placed on the flange surface can be used as a substitute. 3. Lift the valve into the proper position on top of the scale hopper. 4. Insert and alternately tighten the flange bolts until they are secure. 5. Connect the valve to the conveying lines with an intervening flexible hose. Care must be taken to ensure that there are no loads transmitted from the convey line to the valve. If there are, these loads will adversely affect the accuracy of the associated scale system. All connected convey lines must have rigid structural supports located within 24" of the flexible hose connection. 6. Connect a bare grounding wire to the convey line and valve. 7. Connect a compressed air supply to the 1/4" NPT port of the solenoid valve. 8. The compressed air supply should have a lockout compatible valve, pressure regulator and filter just ahead of the solenoid connection. 9. Connect control wiring to the solenoid valve. Ensure the control power is of the proper voltage. Refer to the label on the solenoid for power requirements. 10. Connect control power to the position proof switches. 11. Connect either the N.O. or N.C. contact terminal to the control system depending on the logic requirements. 12. Energize the solenoid. 13. Confirm that the valve actuates and is in the proper position. 14. Verify that the position proof switch is made and that the proper signal is being relayed to the control system. 15. De-energize the solenoid. 16. Confirm the valve actuates and is in the proper position. 17. Verify that the position proof switch is made and that the proper signal is being relayed to the control system. 5-3 MAC Equipment, Inc.

SD Scale Diverter Valve Operator Manual Chapter 10 REFERENCE MicroSwitch Manual Installation Instructions for Heavy Duty Position proof Switches MOUNTING All Heavy Duty Limit Switches (HDLS) have exactly the same mounting dimensions. Mount by either of two methods: (a) use two #10 screws from the front, or (b) use two #10-32 UNF screws from the back. HDLS offers the advantage of front mount construction. The electrician will find a complete switch, with no parts missing and ample wiring space. WIRING Use size # 12AWG or smaller solid or stranded wire to connect to the pressure type connector terminals. Spades may be up to .312" wide, rings up to .312" dia. With spade or ring type connections, pre-insulated connectors or heat-shrinkable tubing should be used to provide insulation between terminals. Circuit diagram is shown on the nameplate. Figure 1 It will be easier to wire the double-pole units by connecting lead wires to the terminals nearest the conduit opening first. A grounding screw is located in the housing near the conduit opening. With plug-in construction, wiring and conduit connection is made to the base receptacle. This feature also reduces downtime, since plug-in unit can be removed without disconnecting wiring or conduit. To mount either switch, merely tighten mounting screws, tighten plug-in unit or cover screws, and make sure conduit section is sealed. Use of sealant (teflon tape, pipe dope, etc.) Is recommended to seal conduit connection. Because of moisture condensation problems, it is not good practice to mount the switch upside down or at the low point of conduit runs. Switch units with an indicator light in the cover are furnished with the lead wires from the light connected to the normally-open male terminals (#3 and #4) unless otherwise specified on the order. Wires can be unsoldered and reconnected to the normallyclosed male terminals or they can be ordered connected to the normally-closed terminals by using a modification code (refer to Catalog 40). Always connect these wires to the same set of terminals used for the load. Across the normally-open male terminals (#3 and #4) the light will be On (Fig. 1). Across the normally-closed terminals (#1 and #2) the light will be Off. ADJUSTING INSTRUCTIONS Actuator head. For application flexibility, actuator head may be positioned in any of four directions. Loosen the four captive head screws, place head in the desired position, and then securely tighten the four screws. Double Pole Non Plug-In Type Revision May 13, 1998 Reversing the roller lever.

SD Scale Diverter Valve Operator Manual Chapter 10 REFERENCE PROPER APPLICATION OF LIMIT SWITCHES To achieve greatest reliability and longest life possible, limit switches should be installed as outlined in NEMA ICS2-225. Cam or dog arrangements should be such that the actuator is not suddenly released to snap back freely.9 For limit switches with pushrod actuators, apply actuating force as nearly as possible in line with pushrod axis. GRAVITY RETURN HDLS Listings beginning with LSS are gravity return devices. During installation and setup, not the following: 1. Operate and release points exchange location when shaft is rotated 180( (Fig. 9). 2. Switch is near operate-release points when shaft slot is parallel to switch’s long axis (Fig. 9). 3. The switch should be installed so gravity return of the actuator releases the switch. Revision May 13, 1998 10 - 6 MAC Equipment, Inc.
