Initial Start-Up Check
Magnehelic Gauge Operation: Model 2015
Operation Checklist
1. Check for proper fan rotation as noted on the fan or the housing.
2. All access doors should be sealed secure.
3. Check that the dust hopper is properly sealed.
4. Remove any loose items in or near the inlet or outlet of the dust collector.
5. Set the air pressure on the regulator to 80 psi. (Do not turn on the auto pulse box - see below)
6. Turn dust collector fan motor ON.
1. Monitor the physical condition of the dust collector and repair or replace any damaged components.
2. Check the compressed air components for leaks.
3. Monitor pressure drop across filters. Changes in pressure drop may indicate a change in operating conditions. (See Magnehelic
Gauge below)
4. Check the exhaust
5. Check the dust disposal.
The Magnehelic gauge measures differential pressure between the clean air and dirty air plenums of the dust collector and provides
timely information of filter change requirements.
When the Magnehelic reading is between 5-6 on the gauge the filters need pulsing.
To check the condition of the filters using the Magnehelic reading, pulse the filters with the blower fan off for 4 hours and then start the
dust collector blower fan. If the reading continually stays between 5-6 on the Magnehelic gauge it is time to change the filters. (see filter
removal and installation)
NOTE: AFTER THE FILTERS ARE SEASONED THE AUTO PULSE CAN BE TURNED ON AND STAY ON. THE FILTERS CLEAN BETTER
WHEN PULSED WHILE THE BLOWER FAN IS OFF.
See the Magnehelic Gauge printout with this manual for maintenance instructions and trouble shooting.
NOTE: DO NOT TURN THE FILTER AUTO PULSE ON UNTIL AFTER 4-5 HOURS OF RUNNING THE DUST COLLECTOR TO RECLAIM
MEDIA AND/OR REMOVE DUST FROM THE BLASTROOM WHILE BLASTING . THIS IS TO SEASON THE FILTERS & TO PREVENT ANY
PERFORATIONS IN THE FILTER MATERIAL.
