The trolley is constructed with removable channels. These channels are disassembled from
the main trolley frame. The main trolley frame may now be lifted into place using soft slings.
Note: Care should be taken when positioning the trolley. Special notice should be given to the
position of the motor and any junction boxes relative to where you intend the supply
cabling to run.
The trolley may now be reassembled around the supporting structure. The main trolley
frame should be supported throughout this process.
Note: When refitting the channels ensure all connecting bolts are tightened to a minimum of 90
Nm.
Note: The oil level in the magnet should be checked prior to installation. See Section C.4.3 -
Checking Magnet Oil Level for details.
The magnet is supplied complete with two (2) sets of four (4) lifting lugs, located on the top
surface of the magnet body. Using appropriate lifting equipment, the magnet should be lifted
into position using the set of four (4) outer lifting lugs.
Note: Care should be taken when positioning the magnet. Special notice should be given to the
position of the pressure relief valve, terminal box and heat exchanger (if applicable). In all
cases, the pressure relief valve must be located at the high point of the magnet.
With the magnet suspended in position, the permanent suspension slings may now be
attached to the set of four (4) inner lifting lugs and to the trolley.
The suspension slings provided with the magnet are adjustable in order to get the correct
suspension height. If necessary, the magnet position should be adjusted before removing
the lifting equipment.
For information on handling the cubicle, refer to Section A.1 - Packing and Handling Details.
30mm heavy duty track is supplied in 4 metre lengths. The track may be cut to length to suit
the application. Joining of the track using the track coupler will require the use of the drilling
jig (provided) for location of the mounting holes.
The track support arms are attached to the support structure using the girder clips provided.
The track is suspended from the track support arms via track support brackets. The drilling
jig will again be provided when attaching the track to the track support brackets.
The track must also be drilled to accommodate the end stop, and end clamp.
The towing trolley, cable trolleys, end clamp and end stops may now be positioned on the
track. The towing arm may be fixed to the trolley in a suitable location.
Warning: The end of the towing arms must pass through the towing trolley such that the towing arm
initiates movement of the catenaries’ trolleys. Not doing so may cause damage to the
cables due to over tensioning.
The flat cables(s) are positioned on the catenary trolleys as shown in Figure 1 - Catenary
Cabling.
Warning: Where cabling is to be provided by others, care should be taken to ensure that the cable is
suitable for the electrical current being carried. Reference should be made to the supplied
drawings and B.1 - Technical Information for details on the electrical requirements for each
item of equipment.
Warning: The terminals housed within the magnet terminal box are a permanent seal between
the magnet coils and the atmosphere. Over tightening of the lock nuts can cause the
epoxy seal within the terminal to displace and allow oil to leak from the magnet.
Please ensure that two spanners are used and the lock nut is not pulled down on the
ceramic top.
Warning: Damage to cabling may occur if the cabling is allowed to protrude below the bottom
face of the magnet. Ensure that cabling is routed such that this cannot occur.

B.1.4 Trolley
Model No: 10 Tonne Single Rail
Mass: 350kg
The tramp magnet system is used to remove tramp metal from the burden of a conveyor.
Under normal operation the magnet is turned on and placed over the conveyor as described
in Part A - Installation and Commissioning Instructions and turned on. When a DC voltage is
supplied to the electromagnet, a strong magnetic field is generated. Tramp metal removed
from the burden will accumulate on the face of the magnet.
At regular intervals the magnet must be manually cleaned of this tramp metal to ensure the
best possible magnetic performance.
Warning: Over time, a buildup of tramp metal will occur on the magnet face. Tramp metal attached
to the magnet face acts to short circuit the magnet. This means that the magnetic field
generated will not be as deep into the burden, thereby decreasing the magnets
performance.
The magnet is supplied with a suspension trolley. It is recommended that the tramp metal
be deposited into a tramp metal bin located beside the conveyor. The trolley allows the
magnet to be moved from its normal location over the conveyor to a position over the dump
bin. The magnet may then be switched off. When power is removed from the
electromagnet, the magnetic field collapses, and any attached tramp metal will dislodge from
the face of the magnet into the tramp metal bin.
Warning: The magnet should not be switched on for at least 60 seconds after it has been switched
off. Doing so may result in damage to the rectifier unit.
Note: The magnet may operate without the heat exchanger operational. The only effect is to
reduce the magnetic performance by 15%..
Heat Exchanger On Push Button Black Turns the Heat Exchanger On.
Heat Exchanger Off Push Button Black Turns the Heat Exchanger Off.
Warning: The operation of the magnet system is inherently dangerous failure to understand
and observe the following operational requirements could create a dangerous
situation causing injury or death.
Personnel requiring access to the magnet shall, prior to gaining access, obtain authorization
from the person responsible for safety within the area in which the magnet is located.
If there is a danger of falling objects to personnel working below the trolley, the area below
shall be isolated from surrounding areas and a hazard warning sign displayed.

C.3 Troubleshooting
Warning: The measured resistance of the magnet is affected by temperature. The magnet
should be tested in the cold condition. Please allow magnet to cool down before
testing.
Dielectric tests, carried out using a 500V megameter may indicate a ground or short inside
the magnet. A reading of five (5) or less may indicates an insulation breakdown. If this
occurs, please contact your supplier.
The oil should remain clear and free of contaminants. If oil is turbid or cloudy it should be
replaced. See C.4.4 - Replacing Magnet Oil.
.
Note: To assist in draining the old oil into a suitable container, the magnet may be
suspended above the ground using its suspension lugs.
5. Replace 1” BSP Drain Plug and seal with Dow Corning RTV 732 Silicon sealant or
equivalent
6. Remove ¼” BSP oil level plug.
7. Fill magnet with Inhibited Transformer Oil. The magnet is full when oil just dribbles
from ¼” BSP oil level hole. Refer to B.1 - Technical Information for more details on oil
volume and type.
8. Replace all and seal all plugs as previously described.
Warning: When manually operating the pressure relief valve, air may escape at up to 90
degrees Celsius if the magnet has been operating. All necessary precautions to
prevent injury should be taken.
The valve may be operated manually by lifting the spring loaded cap. If the valve feels tight
to operate, lubricate with WD40 or equivalent. If the valve operation continues to feel tight, it
will require replacement.
