All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable National, State, and local electrical code. MicroAir does not determine what is acceptable in any local jurisdiction and cannot be held responsible for wiring that does not meet local codes. Cautions: Avoid mixing combustible materials, such as buffing lint, paper, wood, aluminum, and magnesium dust, and with dust generated from grinding ferrous metals due to the potential fire hazard caused by sparks in the dust collector.

2. Lift the unit with a lift truck or overhead crane using the four lifting lugs located at the corners of the unit (see Figure 1 & 2). Assembly of Unit: 1. Determine the location where the unit is to be installed. Be sure to allow sufficient room to access the unit for servicing and maintenance on all sides. 3. Bolt on each of the legs. The two lower bolts at each corner will be removed and used to attach each corner leg (see Figure 3). Attach middle legs with provided hardware (see Figure 4). 4.

HOLES COMPRESSED AIR INLET 3/4” FEMALE NPT BASE PLATE FIGURE 5 Compressed Air Installation The compressed air inlet for the Roto-Pulse cleaning system is at the top of the piping assembly located on the backside of the unit (see Figure 6). A minimum of a 3/4 inch line and plant air at a pressure at 80 psi is required for proper operation of the Roto-Pulse cleaning system. A single 3/4” air line, branched to each manifold, is sufficient to the entire unit.
Electrical Installation Unit Operation 1. Turn the blower on. This action will cause the filter unit to activate and start cleaning filters. NOTE: All electrical work must be done by a qualified electrician. NOTE: Some particulate may pass through the cartridge filters and blower upon initial start-up. This will end once the filters have been seasoned and a power cake has formed on the filter.
differential across the filters. If you can not maintain this minimum level of differential across the filters the time between cleaning pulses should be increased until this can be achieved. 1. For proper cleaning, the compressed air pressure should be regulated at 80 psi maximum. 2. During normal operation the Roto-Pulse cleaning system is factory set to clean two (2) cartridge filters for a period of .07 seconds every 5 seconds. 3.
