Dust Collectors - Series CPV
COMMISSIONING
It is a requirement of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992 to
provide adequate isolation and emergency stop facilities. Due to the varied
nature of site installations this cannot be provided by Donaldson but instead
is the responsibility of the customer.
Installation check list
Ensure the dust collector body is securely bolted over the aperture.
Ensure collectors fitted withan earthing post are suitably earthed.
Open the access door(s) and ensure the seal is intact, then close and secure
the door(s).
Ensure collector is connected to the correct voltage and the pulse interval and
duration settings are correct. For 24V DC ensure poarity is correct. It is essential
that the controller is earthed for both AC and DC connections.
Ensure electric power is available.
Ensure the compressed air manifold has sufficient protection for over-pressure.
Start the compressor an check that the air supply is maintained at the
recommended pressure.
Switch on th econtoller and check that all valves operate in sequence (listen for
exhaust pulses). As each each valve operates, the air pressure reading should
drop to approximately 50% of the initial setting and then return to the initial value.
If fitted, start up the main fan and check for correct rotation, check if the full
load current is not exceeded (refer to fan rotation label located on rear panel of
fan section).
Verify operation of the interlocks and audible warning system if fitted.
If any of the above check boxes are not ticked, then the reasons why should be
investigated. (Refer to fault location table in ‘Maintenance’ section).
Start-up sequence
Having completed all the necessary checks, the equipment may be put into operation.
A typical installation should be started up as follows:
1. Start up compressed air supply.
2. Set the equipment being served, if applicable, in motion.
3. Switch on controller.
4. Start main fan (if fitted).
