SAFETY RULES
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). Qualified personnel should perform all electrical connections and wiring only.
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.
DISCLAIMER
Although instructions and recommendations are included for installation or your mist or dust collector equipment, the manufacturer does not
assume responsibility for the installation of this equipment nor shall be held liable for direct or consequential damages resulting from improper
methods, structural failure or inadequate supports.
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 combustible materials.
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. BSE can offer basic guidelines for such an installation;
however
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 NFPA standards.
BSE warrants all products sold, only to purchasers for use in business or for resale, against defects in workmanship or
materials under normal use for 3 years after date of purchase from BSE. This warranty does include standard warranties
from purchased parts such as blowers, motors, valves, etc. All purchased items will fall
and returned to BSE or
authorized service facility, as BSE designates, shipping cost prepaid, will be, as the exclusive remedy, repaired or replaced,
at BSE option. Any liability for consequential and incidental damage is expressly disclaimed. BSE liability, in all events, is
limited to and shall not exceed, the purchase price paid.
Title and risk of loss pass to buyer on delivery to the common carrier. If product is damaged in transit, recipient must file
claim with carrier. BSE will make a good faith effort for prompt correction or other adjustments with respect to any
product that proves to be defective within the warranty period.

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. A FIRE PROTECTION
EXPERT SHOULD BE OBTAINED IN THE EVENT THE PRODUCT IN INTENDED FOR USES, WHICH
PRESENT A POTENTIAL RISK OF FIRE OR FIRE PROPOGATION. REFER TO APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES
AND DISCUSS YOUR INTENDED USE WITH YOUR BSE REP.
Initial Inspection
If your new BSE 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 Unit
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.
All chains, hooks, bolts or other items used in the installation must be at least strong enough to support FOUR
times the weight of each unit.
There are 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. If you are going to use this method, you should drill 4 holes down
through the top of the unit approximately 6 1
secured to the ceiling structure in a safe and acceptable manner. Be sure your unit is connected to the proper
voltage (110-115VAC) and is protected by correct size fuses or breakers.
The next two pages are sketches indicating possible methods of mounting your A-1100.

BSE products are designed to improve your environment. -11 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 filtrations. 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 BSE --glass
multi-pocket bag filter has 98% resistance and 95% efficiency on the atmospheric dust spot test, removing smoke
prefilter pulls from the unit and can be washed. The foam prefilter can used several times before needing
al filter available.

MOTORS
All direct drive motors are protected with automatic restart overload protection.
All belt driven units must be protected externally.
OPERATION
Do not operate your units 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 wash the prefilters and reuse them. Filters are available in a number of different
degrees of efficiencies. The filters in your new BSE unit have been selected by your representative to best
collect your 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 BSE air cleaner is 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 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.
Replacement filters can be supplied by your representative.
LOUVERS
Four-way louvers 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.
