OPERATING MANUAL
11. CONTROL VIA THE PLC INTERFACE
Connection diagram SE00136; see appendix.
The PLC interface is equipped with digital inputs and outputs, one analogue
input, one analogue output and the RS-232 communications port for MODBUS
communication.
Using the digital inputs, the ultrasonic can be switched on and the job number
can be selected. To do this, first set in the system settings the function US-ON
(LOn) to OFF (see chapter 9).
They are "ultrasonic active", "generator error" and "load error" signals.
A voltage of 0 - 10 V can be connected to the analogue input of the PLC inter-
face. Please find the voltage values as follows:
• Intensity (20 – 100%):

2 – 10 V corresponds to 20 – 100% (< 2 V = 20%)
• Power (20 – 200 W):
1 – 10 V corresponds to 20 – 200 W (< 1 V = 20 W)
• Pulse duty cycle (10 – 90%):
1 – 9 V corresponds to 10 – 90% (< 1 V = 10%, > 9 V = 90%)
The actual power output can be monitored at the analogue output.
12. TIPS FOR THE SETTINGS
The job 00 is selected as the factory setting. If this setting does not produce the
desired results, we recommend the following procedure:
• First try the pulse and the hopping modes (Job No. 00 – 11).
• Change the pulse duty cycle of the selected job.
Shorter duty cycle produces harder pulses on the wire mesh; longer duty cycle
produces continuous excitation.
• If the powder jumps on the screen, reduce the intensity directly using the PLUS
and MINUS buttons.
• The standard resonance "rES" operating mode corresponds the closest to the
continuous mode of the generators SG-40, SG-42 and SG-45. The intensity is
generally higher than with the generators mentioned; therefore reduce the in-
tensity in order to obtain the same screening result.
• The amplitude modulation "And" operating mode is similar to the standard
resonance mode, however brings additional low-frequency oscillations on the
fabric. This can be beneficial for heavy powders.
• The frequency modulation "Fnd" operating mode can lead to excessive heating
of the screening resonator. Therefore, reduce the intensity if possible.
• You can override all the power limits set in the jobs by adjusting the system
power. For example, if you limit the system power to 20 W, you override the job
power limits of 50 W. Thus, you can apply your generator settings to smaller
and larger screens in an easy way.
• In the case of temperature-sensitive products, we recommend the Hopping
Mode HLN with shorter Duty Cycle Pdu. HLN with 53 Hz at 20% duty cycle
(Pdu) has shown very favourable.
• Heavy products >2 t/m³ react very well to lower pulse frequency, 1 – 50 Hz with
Pdu at 50 or 60%.

13. JUNCTION BOXES
Designation Function
Ref. No. 912 005 261 This junction box makes possible the ope-
ration of existing installations which have
Junction box been operated to date with the SG-40,
1x conventional converter SG-42 or SG-45 generator. ATEX systems
can also be operated (generator outside
the Ex-Zone).
The junction box is plugged in at the HF connection of the generator.

The HF-cable is connected to the screening system at the output of the junction
box.
The total HF-cable length must not exceed 20 m.
14. MAINTENANCE
The generator does not require any scheduled maintenance. If repairs are nee-
ded, the device should be sent to the nearest TELSONIC agent.
14.1 Periodic checking and cleaning
The periodic check includes examining all connecting cables. As soon as any
damage to the cable insulation is noticed, the affected cable must be replaced
immediately. All fastening screws on the generator and the housing cover must
be tightened.
In the case of external damage to the case, the generator must be shut down.
The front panel must never be damaged with pointed objects, otherwise the dust
protection is no longer guaranteed.
The generator must be cleaned at periodic intervals or when needed. Use for
this purpose a rag moistened with all-purpose cleaner. Switch the device off for
cleaning and put the protective caps on the HF and signal socket.

1. AREA OF APPLICATION
The SG46 may be used in zone 21.

It is part of a system that includes the components sieving resonator (welded to
the screening frame), converter (permanent or removable), ATEX HF-cable and
generator.
The system may be operated at 150 W max. generator power, depending on the
screen dimension. From the process engineering perspective, we recommend
lower power outputs as described in the operating instructions.
Maximum generator power allowed based on the screen dimension:
Internal diameter of the Single system (W) Multiple system (W)

screen
Ø 280 mm – Ø 400 mm 50 W 50 W
Ø 400 mm – Ø 600 mm 120 W 120 W
Ø 600 mm and larger 150 W 150 W
2. GENERATOR AMBIENT CONdITIONS
Relative humidity 20% – 80%

Ambient temperature 0°C – 35°C (40°C)
At ambient temperature of 35°C, the generator system power must not exceed
150 W. At system power of 100 W ambient temperature must be below 40°C.
System power is set in the system menu (please refer to chapter 9 of the manual
"Changing System Settings).
3. SAFETy INSTRUCTIONS
The generator must not be used in areas in which charging operations that can
generate a propagating brush discharge can be anticipated.
Do not position the generator near heat sources such as heaters or hot air outlets.
Direct sunlight and heavy dust formation are also to be avoided. The mounting
of the generator on a large metal surface such as e.g. a steel girder also helps to
dissipate heat.
Do not install the ultrasonic generator on oscillating/vibrating elements of your
installation.
In the case of external damage to the case, the generator must be shut down.
The keyboard membrane must never be damaged with pointed objects, other-
wise dust protection is no longer guaranteed. The keyboard membrane is to be
protected from a mechanical shock > 4J respectively > 2J in the display.
The periodic check includes examining all connecting cables. As soon as any
damage to the cable insulation is noticed, the affected cable must be replaced
immediately. All fastening screws on the generator and the housing cover must
be tightened. The generator must be cleaned at periodic intervals or when
needed. Use for this purpose a rag moistened with all-purpose cleaner.Switch the
device off for cleaning and put the protective caps on the HF and signal socket.

ATEX APPENdIX
4. CONNECTION CABLE
All plugs must only be disconnecte when the mains power is OFF.
The line cable and the HF-cable are to be mounted securely outside the product
stream and in accordance with EN 60079-14. The cables must be routed in a
way to avoid electrostatic charges.
4.1 Mains cable
The mains plug as delivered is not suitable for use in ATEX-rated zones and must
be removed when used in an hazardous areas.
Make sure that the mains cable cannot be disconnected while in operation.
The following solutions among others are possible:
1. Install the entire generator set-up in a control cabinet.
2. Remove the plug and connect directly to the terminals.
3. Use an ATEX-suitable socket having a mechanical latching device to
prevent accidental unplugging, in compliance with the relevant standards.
4.1.1 Earthing
The operator must make sure that the generator's earthing via the main cable
is permanently ensured. Ensure that a regular check of the earth potential is
conducted.
4.2 HF-cable
The sieving resonator is connected to the generator by a special HF-cable.

The cable length may only be changed after consultation with the manufacturer.
Only original replacement parts may be used.
The HF-cable must not be disconnected while in operation.
When operating a screening system in an Ex-area, it is obligatory to activate the
screen recognition (see chapter 9 of this manual).

ATEX APPENdIX
4.2.1 Latching device to prevent accidental unplugging
The HF-plug is provided with a latching device to prevent accidental unplugging.

Proceed as follows to install:
1. Remove protective cap on the generator.
2. Plug HF-plug into the socket and tighten up the locking ring in the
clockwise direction. Pay attention to the alignment of the plug coding
(see operating instructions).
There are a push/pull as well as a screwable plug version.
3. Drive in the set screw with an Allen key size of 1.5 mm to the point
that the locking ring can no longer be loosened by hand.
The generator is to be immediately taken out of

operation in case of damage to the housing and
NOTE keyboard membrane.

6. JUNCTION BOXES
The junction box makes possible the operation of existing installations which
have been operated to date with the SG-40, SG-42 or SG-45 generator.
The box is connected to the generator as described in chapter 4.2 as well as in
chapter 13 of the operating manual.
