Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Dalamatic Insertable Dust Collectors – Series DLM V
INSTALLATION
14 Attach controller on preferred side of collector body using 6 x M8 fixing bolts
and nuts.
15 Note from fig. 11 the manner in which the solenoid pilot valves projecting
from the controller are to be connected by tubes to the diaphragm valves
under the compressed air manifold. Cut tubing to suitable lengths.
16 Push-fit the tubing to the diaphragm valves in the manner shown in
fig. 11.
17 Pass the tubes through the holes in the side of the collector body and push-
fit to the corresponding solenoid pilot valves projecting from the controller
(valves on the controller are numbered in sequence from the left, see
fig. 11 and fig. 12 for typical arrangement).
18 Ensure each tube is firmly connected to the valves.
19 Replace header cover if applicable (fig. 1).
Compressed air requirements
Dalamatic Insertable dust collectors require an independent supply of clean,
dry, oil-free compressed air. Details of atmospheric pressure and quantity are
given in Table 6 (refer to ‘Specification’ section). A design label is also attached
to each manifold. Where an existing factory mains system is to be used it may
be necessary to install an additional moisture separator in the supply line to the
collector. If a compressor is being installed to supply the Dalamatic, then the
following conditions should be observed as far as possible:
Type of compressor
Use a compressor of ample capacity – an overloaded compressor tends to
produce excessively contaminated, moisture-laden air.
Location of air intake
Avoid locating the air intake in an excessively polluted area and install an adequate
air intake filter. The compressor air intake should be sited, if possible, on the
