DFPRE 4 Dust Collectors

TABLE 1 – FAULT LOCATION

Symptom

Possible cause

Action

Part loss of 

suction 

(excessive 

pressure 

differential).

Compressed air 

malfunction.

If compressor stopped, rectify compressor fault; check interlocks; 

check motor and supply; check drive.

If compressor OK, check pulses at manifold pressure gauge.

Clean filters, dismantle and clean moisture separator.

Check for excessive water or oil in compressed air supply, and 

possible accumulation in manifold.

No pulses of air to 

valves.

Refer to ’Fault location’ table in controller manual supplied with 

dust collector.

Unit blocked.

Check dust container is not overfull. Check starter overloads, 

fuses and interlocks.

Run unit clear*, then remove each cartridge in turn and renew any 

that are damaged.

Motor speed low.

Check line voltage, phases, fan motor connections. 

Incorrect fan motor 

rotation.

Check electrical connections and transpose if necessary.

Airflow damper 

incorrectly adjusted

Check airflow in duct. Adjust damper control until correct airflow 

is achieved.

Access panels open or 

incorrectly secured

Check all access panels are in place and correctly secured. 

Ensure dust container is properly sealed.

Fan exhaust area 

restricted

Check fan exhaust area for obstructions.

Total loss of 

suction.

Fan motor stopped.

Check motor supply overloads, fuses and interlocks (if fitted).

Check motor connections and windings.

Unit blocked.

Check that dust container is not overfull. Check starter overloads, 

fuses and interlocks.

Run unit clear*, then remove each cartridge in turn and renew any 

that are damaged.

Ducting blocked.

Check throughout and clear.

Visible effluent in 

clean air outlet.

Filter cartridges not 

properly sealed.

Check cartridge access covers are seated and seal properly.

Damaged filter cartridge. Damaged cartridges can be identified by the dust present in clean 

air chamber. Withdraw cartridge and renew. 

*To run unit clear, switch off main fan only and allow the controller to perform several complete 

cleaning cycles before switching off compressor etc.
