The weight of the dust collector and all auxiliary
equipment, including the optional hopper, must be
considered when planning for the foundation. See
individual Specification Control Drawing for dust
collector weight and anchor bolt location.
The anchor bolts must extend 1-3/4 inch above
the foundation. The collector should be located
with consideration for side removal emptying of
the hopper, 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drum;
shortest run for location of ductwork; electrical
connections and maintenance. In the case of
hazardous dust, consult with an Industrial
Hygienist and/or your insurer for location of the
unit.

Locate the RVS collector as near to the dust
source as possible, except in cases where the dust
is explosive or a fire hazard.
The control timer is automatically energized to
start the cleaning sequence 60 seconds after the
fan is shut off for the RVS. This pause allows the
fan to run down. Note that there is a delay built
into the timer. The main blower fan must run for
30 seconds with all doors and openings on the
collector closed to start timing sequence. The
vibrator motor starts and runs for a preset time of
30, 60 or 90 seconds, shaking dust from the filter
cartridge. A diaphragm at the bottom of the filter
cartridge opens after the fan is shut off, allowing
fine dust particles collected on the filter media to
escape. The dust falls down into the dust pan or
optional hopper for disposal as shown in Figure 2.
Optional re-entrainment louvers below the filter
prevent dust from being re-entrained on the filter
when the blower is started.

The RVS collector is normally shipped by
common carrier and should be checked for any
damage that may have occurred en route. Any
damage should be noted and the carrier notified
immediately.

No special foundation other than a solid, level
surface is necessary unless your RVS collector has
been ordered with the optional hopper.
When moving the collector, do not
lay it on its side or back, as damage
to the fan housing and filter
element panel seal may result.
All hardware and fasteners on the
RVS dust collector require metric
wrenches and sockets.
The collectors have high centers of
gravity. Careful handling is
required to avoid overturning the
collector during movement.
