Follow all electrical and safety codes as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC), National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Only qualified personnel should perform all electrical connections and wiring.
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards require specific duct design and dust collector configuration
when collecting potentially reactive metal dusts, such as aluminum, magnesium, and other materials. NFPA also
covers other dusts such as grain and plastics, etc. A guideline for determining the precautions to be taken can be
found in NFPA 497. Other NFPA standards may apply to your specific application. Consult current NFPA
standards, available for NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA, 02269, 800-344-3555, for applicable safeguards
which may be required for the Installation, Operation, and Service of this product.
Additional references are the Uniform Building Code and the Uniform Mechanical Code.

WARNING
1. Avoid mixing combustible materials such as (but not limited to) buffing lint, paper / wood dust, aluminum or magnesium with
dust generated from the grinding of ferrous materials. This creates a potential for fire due to the mixing of sparks and
combustiblematerials.
2. Under no conditions should the machine operator be allowed to put lit cigarettes or any burning object into this or any dust/
mist control system.
3.
Installation of this unit in applications where there is a chance for heated and/or flammable materials to enter the unit
should be evaluated to determine if a fire protection/extinguishing system should be installed. Federal, state or local codes, a
required by organizations such as NFPA and Factory Mutual Insurance or your insurance carrier may require such a system.
Air Cleaning Specialists, Inc. can offer basic guidelines for such an installation; however,
final installation design is the
responsibility of the filtration unit Owner/User.
4. Explosion relief vents are required on some applications. Consult with an insurance underwriter or an NFPA manual to
determine proper vent size ratio. Dust or mist collectors must be located outdoors unless otherwise indicated by NFPA
standards. Dust and mist collectors DO NOT CONTAIN EXPLOSION RELIEF VENTS as shipped from the factory and must
be field installed per NFPAstandards.

SAFETY
READ AND SAVE THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY AND COMPLY AS DIRECTED. THIS MANUAL
CONTAINS PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELATING TO WORKER SAFETY. WORKERS HANDLING
EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEMS SHOULD BE INSTRUCTED TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN A SAFE
MANNER. ALL THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF DUST AND MIST CONTROL SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT
ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO LIST. THEREFORE, OBTAIN THE SERVICES OF A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER.

Initial Inspection
If your new BLUE OX units were shipped in by truck you should inspect the carton for damages or possible
shortages. If there are any signs of possible shipping damages, unpack the units and make a note of the
shortage or damage on the freight bill before signing it. If the carton is opened at a later time and there is
damage to the unit, you should file a concealed damage claim with the delivery carrier. They are responsible for
any damages in shipment or shortages that were actually shipped.
Installing Your New BLUE OX Units
All installations must meet all electrical or mechanical building codes that may apply in your particular area. If
there are no local requirements, you should follow the National requirements. If the optional Drain Plug
was installed in your unit, you can connect an appropriate 3/8” I.D. rubber hose for oil/mist routing.
All chains, hooks, bolts or other items used in the installation must be at least strong enough to support FOUR
times the Hanging Weight of each unit. Unit weights are shown above in the Dimension/Weight chart.
There are many different ways to install your units. The most common method of installing the units is to
support them from the ceiling structure with four chains. Strut channel is then placed underneath the Blue OX
Unit and then hung with appropriate steel chains and Q-Links.
Some units can qualify for Eye-Bolt mounting, which utilized top side mounted eye bolts for simple
installations. Some unit weights exceed safe hang weights for the eye-bolts; please consult our experts to find
the best mounting options for your unit.
The top end of the chains must be secured to the ceiling structure in a safe and acceptable manner and should
be able to support FOUR (4) times the weight of the unit. Unistrut or equal may be utilized.
The next page includes sketches indicating possible methods of mounting your OX7000 cabinets. Please ensure
all installations are secure and meet all local, state, and federal codes. Be sure your unit is connected to the
proper voltage and is protected by correct size fuses or breakers.

Due to the Multi-Unit weights and dimensions, we advise to only hang these units with underneath strut
support, with chain, and eye-bolts, mounted to the ceiling.
The drawing below shows the most common method to hang these units.
All hardware should be able to support 4 (4) times the weight of the unit.
Strut Channel
Please note that other methods are possible, but not offered, supplied, or specified by Air Cleaning Specialists
Inc. All mounting should be done by a professional installer or contractor, in a safe and legal manner.

BLUE OX products are designed to improve your environment. OX7000 series collects dust, smoke, oil mist, oil
smoke, and other atmospheric pollutants in industrial plants, shops, schools, and factories with high efficiency,
2 or 3 stage filtration. It is a complete air filter packaged unit that can be installed easily and used as a free
hanging air filter unit to clean the ambient pollutants, smoke and haze.
The OX7000 Series consists of a 4” pleated pre-filter that traps dust and larger particles. The second stage,
micro-glass multi-pocket bag filter has 98% arrestance and either 65 or 95% efficiency (depending on the
application) on the atmospheric dust spot test, removing smoke and other submicron size particles from the air.
Changing out the filters is easy as it requires no tools. The 4” pre-filter pulls from the unit and can be replaced.
The main filter is located directly behind the 4” pre-filter and pulls out also. For light odors, there is an optional
2” 50% bypass charcoal after-filter available.
MOTOR
The OX7000 Series are belt driven units. The motor must be protected externally via breaker and disconnect
switch.
OPERATION
Do not operate your unit(s) without filter for more than a few minutes at a time.
MAGNEHELIC PRESSURE GAGE OPTION
This is an option to help determine when to change the filters. As the bags fill with contaminants, the needle on
the gage will rise. We recommend changing the bags between 1.25 – 1.50 above the reading with clean filters. It
is normal to change the pleated twice (or more) as much as the inside bag filter. After the pleated has been
change and there is no longer a drop in pressure, then it is time to change main filter. The reading may vary
depending upon the contaminants. Please consult your Sales Engineer for further information.
FILTERS
All units are equipped with replaceable type media filters. In some cases, where contaminants being picked up
are dry, it is possible to blow the pre-filters and reuse them. Filters are available in a number of different
degrees of efficiencies. The filters in your new OX7000 unit have been selected by your representative to best
collect your particular type of contaminant.
Media type filters actually become more efficient as they load with contamination. However, as the filters load
up, the air flow volume will decrease and eventually will reach a point where they must be replaced to restore
the original air flow. Changing the filters in your new OX7000 air cleaner is really easy. Old filters are simply
pulled out of the entrance end of the unit and new filters are installed. No tools are required. Turning the unit
on when installing new filters will help to pull them into place.
GENERAL NOTE: CLEANING AND INSPECTION OF CABINET
After the dirty components have been removed, inspect the cabinet interior. Remove foreign material, wipe
interior, and clean all filter seating surfaces.
When installing new filters the opening in the bag filter and the pre-filter should be in a vertical position. Be
sure the cloth part of the bag does not bunch up between the bag header and the angle iron filter stops on the
cabinet. The prefilter should be installed with the wire mesh to the inside of the unit. Replacement filters can
be supplied by your representative.
LOUVERS
Four way lovers are provided on all units to permit you to direct the discharge air away from pilot lights on
heaters and to help you obtain the best air flow pattern for maximum cleaning.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Remedy
Motor starts with a whine and does not
reach full speed.
If three-phase powered, stop motor
immediately. It may be “single phasing”
and will overheat, possibly damaging
internal windings. Check fuses and/or
wires for an interruption in one of the
lines. The motor may be operating on
two phases only.
Motor makes a scraping or knocking
noise.
Check motor cooling fan and its cover. It
may have been damaged or shifted in
transit and motor fan is rubbing. Check
for loose blower wheel on motor shaft –
tighten if necessary.
No suction or pressure, or some suction
but not as required (low or no airflow).
Check and open all dampers, if installed.
Check ducting for blockage, if installed.
Check for dirty or blocked filters (refer to
Maintenance section). Check rotation of
fan.
Excess vibration.
Check structural support members.
Tighten all bolts on legs and cross
braces. Make sure entire structure is
solid. Check for loose blower wheel –
tighten if necessary.
Contaminants blowing through unit.
Check for torn or damaged filters.
Check filter seals. If carbon module is
used, make sure filter sock in place.
Check door seals.
Motor over-amping nameplate.
Access door open, close doors.
Incorrect filters or no filters in the unit.
Ductwork faulty.
