IM Sandvik CT8:04 25
3. Installation preparations Sandvik CT8:04 IM
3.1 General
Check that the required service area as shown in the installation drawings
complies with the installation site. See Installation Manual Appendix.
Check that the installation site is accessible for spare and wear part delivery.
Check that the equipment meets the local legislation demands. In case of
doubt, please consult the local authorities and/or local authorized personnel.
If the site does not comply with the specifications in this manual, please
contact Sandvik for guidance.
Use the checklist below as a guide and for documenting the installation
procedure.
3.2 Placement
Install the oil tank unit in a place where it is easily accessible but protected
against falling objects, stones and water, etc. The electrical connection boxes
on the oil tank unit must be protected against direct sunlight and water.
Ensure that there is sufficient room to drain oil from the tank.
With a free flow return system and an open crusher it is important that the
pressure build-up in the crusher does not get too high, as this will result in
lubrication oil overflowing in the crusher. It is also important that the
pressure build-up in the lubrication oil pressure line does not exceed the
limitations of the lubrication oil pump.
Two different pressures must be considered:
• Pressure build-up in the lubrication oil pressure line
• Pressure drop in the lubrication oil return line
These pressures depend on the relative placement of oil tank unit and crusher
and the dimensions of lubrication oil lines as well as on the capacity of the
lubrication oil pump.
For the oil to flow freely in the return line there must be a minimum height
difference between crusher and oil tank. The required height difference
depends on the pressure build-up created by the piping and bends.
The table below shows how to calculate the minimum height difference.
Minimum height difference in mm
1500 cSt (cold start), DN 100 (4") new/
clean stainless steel pipes
Specified flow: 260 l/min
Per meter pipe 275 mm
90° bend R=1xD 410 mm
90° bend R=2xD 220 mm
90° sharp turn 1895 mm
NOTE! The minimum height difference is directly proportional to oil viscosity, so at
750 cSt viscosity the numbers in the table above should be reduced by 50%.
Example:
The specified flow is 260 l/min, and the return line consists of:
15 meters DN 100 (4") piping 15 x 275 = 4125 mm
4 x 90° bends R=1xD 4 x 410 = + 1640 mm
1 x 90° sharp turn 1 x 1895 = + 1895 mm
Minimum height difference needed = 7660 mm
By replacing all bends with 90° R=2xD and shortening the pipe length with 1
meter, the minimum height difference will decrease to 4950 mm.
NOTE! Place bends as far from the crusher as possible since they create a relatively
high pressure drop.
Pressure drop over tank unit (including filters), and 2 air/oil cooling units
(parallel connected) or 1 water/oil cooling unit, including hoses and T-con-
nection between tank and cooling units
Specified flow: 260 l/min
150 cSt (at operating temperature) 380 kPa
400 cSt (at cold start) 740 kPa
The height difference between crusher and oil tank will add to the pressure
build-up with 10 kPa per meter difference.
Example:
The oil tank unit is placed 10 m below the crusher with 15 m DN 50 (2")
piping and 10 x 90° bend R=1xD. Specified flow is 260 l/min at
400 cSt (cold start).
The required pump pressure will be almost 1.4 MPa. If instead sharp turns
would be used in the example above, the pressure build-up would be
increased to almost 1.65 MPa and the maximum pump pressure of 1.6 MPa
would be exceeded. Therefore, sharp turns should be avoided if possible.

Sandvik does not supply modification kits with fan heaters. Select a suitable
heater from any supplier.
The recommended synthetic oils can be mixed with mineral-based oils, but
should be diluted as little as possible. Empty the crusher and oil tank
carefully before refilling with synthetic oil.
To reduce the risk of dilution of a synthetic lubricating oil, the Hydroset oil
should also be synthetic. A grade with a viscosity down to 30 cSt at 40 °C
can be selected for the Hydroset system.
CAUTION! It must be possible to mix the lubricating and Hydroset oils used in the
crusher. Consult the oil supplier if in doubt.
The following synthetic oils are recommended by Sandvik for the Hydroset
system. Other brands can be used after consulting the supplier..

The oil tank unit is equipped with an overpressure air system to prevent dust
from entering the oil tanks and contaminating the oil. Overpressure air is
supplied by an electrically powered fan or from a compressed air system via
a regulator and a filter.
CAUTION! Install the fan in a dustless environment. Dust will damage the fan and
may contaminate the oil. The air introduced into the tank must contain
as little moisture and dust as possible.
a) Install the fan (1) in a dustless environment. The fan can be mounted
either horizontally or vertically, but a regulator assembly (2) must
always be installed horizontally. If possible, the regulator and filter
should be installed in a heated space.
NOTE! Install the blower at least 0.5 m above the oil tank unit. This will ensure that
oil cannot run back to the blower.
b) Make sure that the power supply to the fan is correctly connected and
that the direction of rotation of the fan motor corresponds to the arrow on

6.1.1 Safety requirements
Read section 2. Safety precautions before carrying out any work on the
equipment or making any adjustments.
Any work with electrical equipment must be performed only by skilled or
instructed technicians.
Electricians should be certified according to local regulations and have
experience of similar types of installations, proven skills in reading and
working from drawings and cable lists, and knowledge of local safety
regulations regarding power and automation circuits.
See section 2. Safety precautions for further information.
6.1.2 Introduction
Electrical drawings are included in Installation Manual Appendix.
If in any doubt about the connection, testing and operation of the electrical
equipment, please contact Sandvik.
Connections for pump motors and other equipment are routed through
connection box -CB9 on the oil tank unit. The air/oil cooler fan and
overpressure air fan motors are connected directly.
The overall control logic for the oil tank unit is provided by the Tank
Instrumentation Monitoring System (TIMS), described in section 6.3 TIMS
installation. Connections to the TIMS are made to a connection box (-LC10)
which is mounted on the oil tank unit.
To provide galvanic separation between the TIMS and the customer’s
electrical system, relay box -LC10.2 must be used. This relay box is supplied
with the TIMS.
Air/oil cooler
Drive motor can be restarted
Oil heating
The TIMS unit is built into an encapsulated box (-LC10) mounted on the
outside of the oil tank unit. The plant control system is connected to -LC10.
There are three other connection boxes:
• -CB9, to which the various power cables for the tank unit’s motors and
heaters are connected.
• ASR-CBT, to which all connections from the tank unit and the crusher
for the ASRi system are made.
• -LC10.2, which contains relays for galvanic separation between the
TIMS system and the customer’s electrical system.
A separate connection box (-LC11) contains the differential pressure
sensor (-PT1).
This box also contains relay units for the level monitor (-LM1) and the
speed monitor (-SM1). PT1 is connected to the TIMS, but the two relays for
-LM1 and -SM1 are not.
NOTE! On CH890 and CH895, the differential pressure sensor PT1 is mounted on
the crusher and connected to TIMS.
See the connection diagrams and circuit diagrams in the Installation Manual
Appendix for the tank unit.

A-alarm is a serious fault which shall stop the crusher’s drive motor. When
an A-alarm has been indicated it is necessary to go out to the oil tank unit and
investigate the fault. When the fault has been corrected, the operator must
press the RESET ALARM push button on the TIMS box before the crusher
can be restarted.
The signals “Low flow in the return oil line” (-FS1), and “Low flow in the
main oil supply to the crusher” (-FT4) are very serious alarms which must
stop the crusher drive motor immediately. All other A-alarms should first
stop the material feed with by cancelling the signal “Material feed to the
crusher permitted” about 1 minute before the crusher drive motor is stopped.
Examples of A-alarms:
• Low flow in the return oil line (FS1)
• Low flow rate in the main oil supply line to the crusher (FT4)
• Low pressure (lubrication oil – pinionshaft) (PT3)
• High temperature in the return oil line (TT1)
• High temperature (limit value 2) in spider bearing (TT5)
B-alarm
B-alarm is less serious and does not shut down the crusher’s drive motor.
However, it indicates that a fault has occurred which should be corrected as
soon as possible. The operator must press the RESET ALARM push button
to cancel the alarm. If nothing has been done to correct the fault, a new B-
alarm will of course be registered almost immediately, so it is recommended
to correct the fault right away.
Examples of B-alarms:
• Low oil level in main tank (LT1)
• Filter blocked (FU1/M2)
• Filter blocked (FU2/M9)
• Low overpressure (PT1)
• High temperature (limit value 1) in spider bearing (TT5)
(Continued)
• If this signal is not present – i.e. there is some fault in the circulatory oil
system – the crusher’s drive motor must not be allowed to run.
• If the “Crusher operation permitted” signal is not given, the alarm panel
on the TIMS box indicates which monitor is not ready (FS1, FT4).
• When the “Crusher operation permitted” signal is given, TIMS sends a
start command for the overpressure fans:
(OUT “Overpressure fans ON”)
The plant control system now starts the overpressure fan motors -M8.1 and -
M8.2.
• The crusher drive motor can now be started by the plant control system.
When the contactor closes, a confirmation signal must be sent back from
the contactor:
(IN “Crusher in operation”)
• The TIMS then generates a command signal to start the pinionshaft
lubrication oil pump:
(OUT “Pinionshaft lubrication oil pump ON”)
• The plant control system must start the pinionshaft lubrication oil pump
and send a confirmation signal back from the contactor:
(IN “Pinionshaft lubrication oil pump in operation”)
• If no confirmation signal is received back from the contactor by the
TIMS within 3 minutes, an alarm signal is generated by TIMS:
(OUT “Pinionshaft lubrication oil pump low pressure”)
During operation
• During operation, the flow of oil to and from the crusher is constantly
monitored. If the signal from any of the sensors (-FS1, -TT1, -FT4 or
-TT5) goes outside the permitted limits, an A-alarm is generated.
The “Crusher operation permitted” signal immediately disappears and
the crusher’s drive motor must stop. The TIMS alarm panel indicates
which sensor has initiated the alarm.
• When the crusher is operating the main lubrication return oil temperature
will rise, and when the temperature exceeds the limit value the oil must
be cooled. A command signal is generated so that the plant control
system can start the air/oil heat cooler:
(OUT “Cooling fan 1 ON”).
If the oil temperature continues to rise, a command signal is generated to
start the second air/oil cooler:
(OUT “Cooling fan 2 ON”).
When the return oil temperature drops below the limit value, the second
cooler must be stopped. If the return oil temperature continues to drop, the
first cooler must also be stopped.
The temperature settings for the two coolers are given in the Operator’s
Manual.
• To reduce contamination of the lubrication oil by dust there are two fans
which introduce air at a slight overpressure into the crusher and into the
oil tank. The air pressure at the inlet to the crusher is monitored by a
pressure transmitter (-PT1). If the pressure drops below the limit value, a
B-alarm is generated:
(OUT “B-alarm”)
• After the feed has been stopped, the crusher must continue running for a
few minutes to allow all material to pass through the crusher. This time
delay depends on the layout of the plant. If in doubt, please contact
Sandvik.
• When the time delay has elapsed, the crusher’s drive motor can be
stopped. The confirmation signal from the contactor (IN “Crusher in
operation”) disappears.
• The pinionshaft lubrication oil pump must be stopped at the same time as
the crusher’s drive motor.
• After the crusher's drive motor has stopped, there must be a delay of two
minutes before the command signal for the main lubrication oil pump
(OUT “Main lubrication pump ON”) disappears. This is to ensure that
the crusher’s bearings continue to be properly lubricated while the
crusher is slowing down.
• After the crusher’s drive motor has stopped, there is a delay of three
minutes before the command signal for the overpressure fans (OUT
“Overpressure fans ON”) disappears. This is in order to allow all dust to
disappear from the crushing chamber before the crusher has come to a
complete stop.
If the oil cooling fan is in operation when the crusher's drive motor is
stopped, it will be stopped by TIMS at the same time as the main lubrication
pump is stopped.

6.3.9 Communication
TIMS communicates with the plant control system via a number of 24 VDC
digital inputs and outputs. Some of these inputs and outputs are essential for
the operation of the system, while others are optional.
In some plants it is desired to integrate the TIMS more completely into the
plant control system. For this reason, the TIMS incorporates a
communication port. The standard communication protocol is Modbus via
RS 485. Other communication protocols are available on request – please
contact Sandvik.
