differential pressure across the filter elements and dust cake. Rising pressure on the gauge 

shows that dust is being collected. When the gauge shows 2-3 in W.G., the fan damper or 
blast gates may be adjusted to their normal position. At this time, the power to the timer 

should be turned on. 

 

Check the controller again. It should read between 2 to 3” w.g. with slight fluctuations 

each time a pulse occurs. This indicates that the factory setting of the differential pressure, 
or  timer,  is  correct.  Excessive  pulsing  can  cause  premature  cartridge  wear.  On  demand 

pulse units do not change on time pulsing interval, but instead change the pressure settings. 

 

11.2

 

 Normal operation

 

The  operation  of  the  OptiFlo  RC  is  fully  automatic  and  does  not  require  constant 

supervision. 

 
The OptiFlo RC is assumed to be part of a system that will include a fan and possibly 

other components, supplied by AAF or other companies.  

 

For successful operation of the OptiFlo RC, it must be ensured that: 

 

1.

 

A  suitable,  dry  compressed  air  supply  to  the  compressed  air  manifold(s)  is 

available and connected to the collector at all times. 
 

2.

 

The power supply to the pulse controller is on. 

 

3.

 

There is awareness of the  operation of  the dust disposal equipment so that 

collected dust is not retained in the hopper(s). 

 

4.

 

The fan is operating at the specified conditions. 

 

A record of operational data should be made and kept up to date. This is covered in 

the maintenance section of this manual.

 RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE 

12.1

 

 Record Keeping 

It  is  suggested  that  a  record  is  kept  of  operational  data  and  that  all  servicing 

maintenance is recorded. A maintenance log is included in this IOM.
