3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Universal base.
Suitable for the 0.3 kW (EUROLAB) and the 1.1 kW (UNILAB) electric machines laboratories.
Duralumin alloy varnished structure mounted on anti-vibration rubber feet, provided with sli-
de guides for the fixing of one or two machines and with a coupling guard.
Complete with a device for the locking of the rotor of the slip ring asynchronous machines in
the short circuit test.

4. SPECIFICATIONS
The universal base is composed of:

1 Light alloy base, leveled on the upper supporting planes, with two guides for all the cou-
plings of De Lorenzo machines rated 0.3 kw (EUROLAB) or 1.1 kW (UNILAB). In the lower
section, four high sensitivity shock absorbers are mounted, arranged to be fixed to a sup-
porting plane (on request, shock absorbers may be provided that do not require fixing to
the plane).

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MOUNTING OF MACHINES ON THE BASE

Each machine is provided with:

1 Plate that brings its axis to the standard height (112 mm).
2 Two plates for fixing to the base of the machine.
3 Four screws for fixing the machine. It is recommended not to remove the screws to avoid
disaligment of the machine, that has already been factory calibrated.
4 Coupling joint.

MOUNTING OF THE ACCESSORIES

All accessories (butt, strap, etc.) are provided with machine-fixing flasks.
These flasks have to operate as shown in the next figure.

Working position
When the screw is being tightened, check that the flask (2) is against the sides of the guides so
that, by tightening the screw, the flask (2) will block the motor’s plate on the guides.

COUPLING OF THE MACHINES

¾¾ The coupling of the machines is as shown in the next figure:

For a proper alignment of the machines and a silent operation, it is suggested to keep a distan-
ce of 18 mm. between the two half joints.
This measure may be checked with a scale, and may vary by ±1 mm. Either a greater or a smal-
ler distance may wear the rubber, in case of continuous operation of the
machines.

ALIGNMENT OF TWO MACHINES

Insert the first machine on the base.
Loosen the 4 screws to facilitate the insertion of the guides "A" in the guides "B" (see Fig.1 and
Fig. 2)

Keep one of the joints firm and slightly rotate
the other one, while pushing it forward, to fit
the two joints together.

Fig. 8
Leave a small space of about 2 mm. betwe-
en the two joints in order to avoid excessive
noise in the rotation phase.

6. MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND REPAIR

MAINTENANCE
For safety reasons, only qualified personnel may carry out maintenance and repair activities.
Qualified personnel are those persons who, according to their professional training, experien-
ce and instruction, have sufficient knowledge of:
¾¾ health & safety regulations,
¾¾ accident prevention regulations,
¾¾ guide lines and acknowledged technical standards.
The qualified personnel must:
¾¾ be able to assess the work assigned to them and recognize and avoid possible dangers,
¾¾ be authorized by those responsible for health & safety at work to carry out the required
work.
The base does not need any special preventive maintenance.

STORAGE
Short term storage
If the base is not immediately installed, it can be stored in a dry room and in an area that is free
from vibrations.

Long term storage

If the base has to be stored for a large period of time, it has to be stored in a well ventilated,
dry room. The storage area must be free from dust and vibrations as much as possible.
The base must be well covered to protect it from dust. An improper storage can cause damage
to the base. Take precautions in case of extreme weather conditions or in humid environments
with salt and/or dust.
Choose a storage place that is flood-proof, dry and vibration free. Before storing, repair any
possible damage to the packaging, if this is necessary for proper storage.If necessary, place
the base on pallets, wooden beams or foundations to ensure protection against soil moisture.
Prevent that a collapse occur on the floor. Do not obstruct the air circulation.

CLEANING
Do not wash the base with water or other liquids.
In the event of severe dirt deposits, remove the deposits using suitable cleaning agents.

TROUBLE SHOOTING / REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

A faulty base can only be repaired by qualified personnel at the request of the person respon-
sible for the installation.

7. EUROPEAN CONFORMITY CERTIFICATE

The machine complies with the EN 60034 (IEC34) rule and with the
2006/95/EC (low voltage) Directive, amended with the 2006/42/EC
(on machinery) Directive.
Therefore, it is marked with the symbol on the left.
