Dust Collector Installation for All Units
CAUTION
– Dust collectors have a high center of gravity. Careful
handling is required to avoid overturning during moving. The collector
must be kept in the up-right position when moving or damage may occur.
WARNING – Fire Hazard
When dust collectors are used to collect explosive or fire risk dust, the dust
collector should be located outside the building. An individual familiar with
fire extinguishing equipment, flammable material hazards and local fire codes should
be consulted for recommendations and installation of the proper fire extinguishing
equipment.
WARNING
– Explosion relief vents are required for some applications.
Consult with an insurance underwriter or a NFPA Manual (NFPA 68
Venting of Deflagrations - NFPA 91 Blower and Exhaust Systems) to
determine proper vent size and ratio. Vents installed on dust control
equipment within a building must be vented to the outside with ducting
that meets the following specifications:
• Cross section area no smaller than the vent
• No longer than 10’
• Straight with minimal bends (to minimize chances of secondary explosion)
• Fabricated from 16-gauge (or thicker) sheet steel
Consult the proper authority to determine proper methods of venting. Dust
collectors do not contain explosion relief vents.
Consult and comply with all National and Local Fire Codes and/or the appropriate
codes when determining the location and operation of dust collection equipment.
Place the dust collector as close as possible to the dust source in non-hazardous
applications.
NOTE
– Various inlet sizes are available. Please specify size required at the
time of ordering your Neutro-Vac System. If unit is operated with more
than maximum permissible inlet area, the fan motor may become
overloaded or dust may settle within the ductwork due to low carrying
velocities.
Electrical Installation
WARNING
– A qualified electrician must perform all electrical work.
1. Make electrical connections to disconnect switch (customer-supplied), fan
starter, fan motor and control box (reference Figures 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10). See
electrical wiring diagram inside the control box cover (reference Figure 11). Fan
access is located through the top door of the cabinet.
