Operation

Dust enters through the cabinet inlet and passes through 

a fine mesh pre-filter on the outside of the filter. The 

pre-filter is spaced 1-in from the filter cartridge and is 

designed to catch fibrous dust while fine particulate 

passes through to collect on the outside surfaces of the 

filter cartridge. Clean, filtered air flows up through the 

center of the filter cartridge to the blower, through the 

silencer, and exits through the top clean-air outlet.
Model VS is an intermittent-duty collector, which means 

that cleaning starts when the fan is turned OFF and the 

appropriate fan run-down time is complete. The solid-

state timer automatically starts the cleaning sequence 

60-seconds after the fan is turned OFF for the VS-550, 

VS-1200, and VS-1500 and 180-seconds for Models 

VS-2400 and VS-3000. This is the fan run-down time. 

Power to controls must remain ON to operate cleaning 

mechanism.
The vibration motor starts and filter cleaning begins for 

a preset time of 30-, 60- or 90-seconds. A diaphragm at 

the bottom of the filter cartridge opens when the fan is 

turned OFF which allows fine dust particles to fall into the 

dust drawer or optional hopper for disposal.
