Key Features

• Genuine OEM Electrical Compliance — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original 230V circuit protection specifications, so the bodyguard system functions exactly as the equipment was designed to operate.
• Retrofit-Ready Installation — Engineered as a drop-in retrofit, this kit installs directly onto compatible IRFU and FUflex4/230 converters without reworking existing wiring or housings.
• Broad IRFU Series Coverage — Fits IRFU30, IRFU38, IRFU45, IRFU58, and IRFU65 models in 5A, 10A, and 15A ratings, plus GV variants and the FUflex4/230, covering both standard and ground fault protected configurations.
• Electrical Overload Protection Restored — A functioning bodyguard system protects operators and equipment from electrical faults on 230V vibrator circuits; a degraded or missing unit leaves the converter and connected vibrator vulnerable to damage and unsafe operating conditions.
• Operator Safety on 230V Systems — Bodyguard protection on electric internal vibrators is a critical safety layer; using the genuine OEM retrofit kit ensures the protection circuit meets the original design intent for shock and overload prevention in wet, demanding concrete placement environments.

The bodyguard system on a Wacker Neuson 230V internal vibrator converter acts as the primary electrical protection device for the operator and the equipment. It monitors the circuit for fault conditions — such as ground faults or overcurrent events — and interrupts power before damage or injury can occur. When this protection component wears out or fails, the vibrator may continue to run but without the safety shutoff that guards against electric shock and converter burnout, making prompt replacement with a correctly specified retrofit kit essential.
