Donaldson Company, Inc.
Standard Equipment
The Centrifugal Mist Collector is normally installed
horizontally; however, it can be installed vertically with
the inlet end down.
1. Remove the inlet cover’s retaining ring and remove
the cover. Discard the cardboard spacers between
the casing and the rotating drum, if installed. The
drum should now rotate freely. Replace the inlet
cover and secure with retaining ring.
2. Remove the carriage bolts or lag screws securing
the collector base to the pallet. Retain the four
washers tied to the pedestal.
3. Secure the base to the mounting surface with
four 1/2-in machine screws. Use the four washers
retained in Step 1 as shims under the mounting bolts
if necessary.
Ducts
1. Attach one end of the flexible hose to the inlet cover
and secure with a hose clamp.
2. Connect the opposite end to the machine hood or
enclosure with a hose clamp. Flange connectors
are available to connect the hose to most hoods or
enclosures.
Keep flexible hose length and
number of bends to a minimum.
Maintain a slope to prevent deposits of oil
from settling at low points and blocking the air
passage.
3. If rigid duct is used, connect an 18-in length of
flexible hose to the unit’s inlet cover for easy cover
removal.
Electrical Wiring
Electrical installation, service,
or maintenance work must
be performed by a qualified electrician and
comply with all applicable national and local
codes.
Turn power off and lock out electrical
power sources before performing service or
maintenance work.
Do not install in classified hazardous
atmospheres without an enclosure rated for
the application.
All electrical wiring and connections, including electrical
grounding, should be made in accordance with the
National Electric Code (NFPA No. 70-latest edition).
Check local ordinances for additional requirements that
apply.
The appropriate wiring schematic and electrical rating
must be used. See collector’s rating plate for required
voltage.
An electric disconnect switch having adequate amp
capacity shall be installed in accordance with Part IX,
Article 430 of the National Electrical Code (NFPA No.
70-latest edition). Check collector’s rating plate for
voltage and amperage ratings.
Refer to the wiring diagram for the number of wires
required for main power wiring and remote wiring.
