1.0 - Safety Precautions
1.1 - Caution
This indication refers to matters that have high risk of serious injuries if the system is
installed or operated incorrectly.
All users of Diversi-tech Equipment should comply with all National and Local Fire Codes and/or
other appropriate codes when determining the location and operation of dust control
equipment.
Do not use any voltages other than the ones indicated
Do not cut or damage power cord. Damage to power cord may cause fire or electrical
shock
Flammable Objects-in the event a foreign object should happen to get inside the
cabinet, please take the following actions:
Turn Power Off
Unplug AC cords
Remove object
Resume Operation
Do not disassemble or modify the system –this may impact the warranty clauses
2.0 - Principles of Operation
2.1 - Injection Cleaning System
Principle of Operation:
The Injection Cleaning System (ICS) operates an air nozzle that cleans air filter cartridges. This is
accomplished by extreme compressed air originating from the inside-out through the filter. The
nozzle rotates 360° while moving up and down to insure cleaning of all the surface area of the
air filter.
The cleaning cycle is controlled by a microprocessor based Printed Circuit Board located in the
control box. The microprocessor has been programmed to turn on the cleaning system once
the filter is sealed (“Ready to Clean” appears on the LCD), the start button is pressed and
released. The nozzle will travel from its home position (located at the bottom) through the top
and then back down to home. The home and top positions are sensed by a limit switch and
proximity sensors. Simultaneously, when the gear motor is engaged, an in-line solenoid opens
and allows compressed air to reach the nozzle and the air pulse system. If for some reason the
Cabinet lid is open before the cleaning system has had a chance to terminate the cycle, the
system will shut itself down and resumes from where it left off once the lid is closed and the
filter is sealed.

3.0 - Installation
3.1 - Upon Arrival
The Green Filter Cleaning Machine is shipped on a crated skid. The skid should be inspected for
any visible damage that may have occurred during shipment. Please advise the Transport
Company as soon as possible if the unit appears to have been damaged during shipping.
NOTE: Dust or debris in the machine or cyclone is due to factory testing. Each unit is tested
prior to shipping.
Always disconnect power supply before servicing the motor or working
with the unit for any reason. All electrical connections must be made
by a qualified electrician.
Use suitable floor anchors to securely bolt the machine to the floor.
Failure to anchor the machine may result in the machine tipping due to
the high center of gravity.
1. Bolt the four legs on the cyclone assembly.

3.2 - Compressed Air Installation
NOTE: Only dry compressed air is to be used with the machine. The unit requires a minimum
of 80 CFM at 90 PSI to operate properly.
Connect compressed air (90 PSI) to the ½” inlet fitting located on the back of the unit. It is
recommended to install a cut-off valve on the line for safety purposes. A regulator will be
necessary to step down the supply air if the shop pressure is above 100 PSI. NOT complying
may result in damage to the unit’s components and reduce performance. A 1/2” NPT supply
line is required.
3.3 - Installation of the Barrel
Step 1: Slide barrel under cyclone cone.
Step 2: Apply liberal amounts of silicone sealant to the barrel inlet collar.
Step 3: Slide the flexible hose over the collar.
Step 4: Fasten the flexible hose to the collar using the provided hose clamp.
If Cyclone to Barrel connection is not fully sealed, the cyclone will not
operate properly.

3.5.4 - Reduce Time of operation
A full 23”-32” cycle takes approximately 5 minutes to end. The cycle time could be reduced by 25-to-
50% if and only if the filter is open on both ends and the height of filter is equal or less than 22”.
This could be accomplished by setting the filter height (Figure 5) to 0-16” or 17”-22”. One should
note that loading the filter defers from the usual procedure. (Read procedure below)
Step 1: Install the filter
Step 2: Add the required spacers on top of the filter (Rather than adding them at the bottom)
3.5.5 - Dry Run
Dry Run is to operate the GFCM without any air supply. This is only to observe any
malfunctioning components or to trouble shoot issues that the GFCM may encounter.

to ensure that contact occurs. This can be achieved doing a “Dry Run”.
Step 1: Open the top by releasing both latches.
Step 2: Remove filters/spacers inside the Cabinet.
Step 3: Cut air supply to the unit.
Step 4: There is a Maintenance switch on the side of the Cabinet below
the Control Box, turn this switch on.
Step 5: Once the LCD reads “Ready to Clean”
Step 6: Press the start button
Step 7: Let the unit run up & down.
Once this checklist is verified, please turn OFF the switch on the side of the Cabinet
below the Control Box. This switch is for maintenance only.
2. Hardware
Bolts and nuts should be checked periodically and tightened.
3. Dust Barrel
Empty out the contents of the dust barrel periodically. Please ensure that the
materials are disposed of properly in accordance with local disposal laws.
Important Note: Barrel should not be more than ¾ full.
4. Exhaust Filter
After cleaning filters visually inspect the exhaust filter located behind the cyclone.
Replace the filter when necessary.
Important Note: Do not place Exhaust filter into the machine.
5. Cabinet debris

5.0 - Troubleshooting List for Injection Cleaning System
PROBLEM
CAUSE
SOLUTION
System is NOT turning
Power is not supplied to PC board.
Ensure the unit is plugged in; ensure there is no loose or short
wiring between primary & secondary of transformer and the
24VAC power inlets of PC Board.
Filter is not sealed properly
Check the compression mechanism on top of the inner chamber
lid. Insert appropriate Spacer. (Refer to Filter Spacer Chart)
Loose connection between PC board
and motor.
Check motor connection. When the “UP” light is ON, the motor
should be rotating the nozzle upwards; and downwards when
the “DOWN” light is ON. (Refer to the electrical diagram)
This could be a result of the nozzle
being jammed, or of something
restricting free movement of the
nozzle.
Locate and repair the cause of the physical restriction before
operating the system.
Limit switch needs alignment
Push limit switch forward or backwards to align with the Nozzle
Assembly switch disc
System is NOT turning and no air
comes out of the nozzle.
Solenoid is not opening.
Upon a cleaning cycle, the “SOLN1” light turns ON indicating
power is being supplied to the solenoid.
Check the wiring between the PC board and the solenoid for
any possible bad connections.
Check if solenoid is operational. This can be done by jumping
the solenoid leads to the secondary side of the transformer.
(24VAC)
If both wiring and solenoid are in order, the PC board might
need to be changed.
System turns but no air comes out
of the nozzle.
Low air supply pressure.
Ensure that air pressure is 80-100psi and Minimum 80CFM
The nozzle is blocked by dirt or
other contaminant.
Remove blockage from the nozzle.
Check if pneumatic filter is filtering air properly. Its filter unit
might need to be replaced.
Not enough air coming out of the
nozzle.
There is an air leak in the pneumatic
system.
Verify pneumatic system for leaks and tighten or change hose
clamps or hoses.
For any other inquiry, please contact Diversi-tech at 1-800-361-3733.
5.1 - Debugging
Things to check
When the machine is first plugged in, the mechanism will move to a “home” position. Once the nozzle is at home
position, the system is ready. The cleaning cycle is controlled by a microprocessor based PC board located in the
control box. The microprocessor has been programmed to turn on the cleaning system once the start button is
pressed and released, and the filter is sealed. The nozzle will travel from its home position (located at the bottom)
through the top and back down to home. The home and top positions are sensed by Limit Switch and Proximity
Sensor respectively. Simultaneously, when the gear motor is engaged, an in-line solenoid opens and allows
compressed air to reach the nozzle or the pneumatic vibrator motor. If for some reason the lid is open before the
cleaning system has had a chance to terminate the cycle, the system will shut itself and the unit will resume from
where it left off once the Cabinet lid is closed.

1. Cyclone Assembly
a. Dust Collector Motor 5HP
i. Depending on the voltage used the running amperage differs on every machine
ii. Look for Maximum Amperage (Max. AMP.) on Serial Number Sticker located on left side
of the Control box. (e.g. For a 460V/3P/60Hz the maximum amperage is 6.1A)
iii. Hook an Amperage meter to the T1 in the control box. The running amperage readout
should be below the Maximum Amperage. (e.g. For a 460V/3P/60Hz the running
amperage is around 5-to-5.5A). If the amperage is higher, shut down the power and
invert the L1 with L2.
iv. Rotation of Motor is Clockwise from the top view.
b. Dust Collector Motor 5HP is not starting
i. Verify the Male and Female connector plug. Insure they are
well connected.
2. Mechanism check
a. During operation verify that the Amperage readout on the LCD is
not higher than 5Amps. The machine must be shut down and
maintenance clean up should be performed on cleaning mechanism
of the GFCM.
b. Maintenance Switch located under the Control Box. Cut air supply
to the GFCM and turn on the maintenance switch. Observe the
cleaning mechanism while it goes up and down. If an error appears
see section 3.5.3 Errors
