1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Checker™ board diagnostic and control panel
included with the dust collector is a flexible, cost-
effective, and reliable replacement for the solid state
timer, Magnehelic®* and Photohelic®* gages.
1.0.1 Specifications
INPUT VOLTAGE: Low Range – 90 to 130 VAC/
50-60Hz/1 Ø
High Range – 180 to 260 VAC/
50-60Hz/1 Ø
OUTPUT RELAY VOLTAGE AND CONTACT
RATING: The output relays are independent of
the input voltage. The relays can accept power
from any voltage source desired.
VDE – 8 amps, 250 VAC
UL/CSA – 10 amps, 240 VAC; 8 amps, 24 VDC
PULSE WIDTH (ON TIME): 100 milliseconds
(factory set).
PULSE FREQUENCY (OFF TIME): Set at 10
seconds. The off time between pulses can only
be changed by modifying parameters contained in
the microprocessor software (contact the Torit
representative for assistance).
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE: Ambient –
0°F (-18°C) to 140°F (60°C)
RELAYS: There are seven relay positions. Six
can be used to drive solenoids.
1.1 Operational Explanation
The Checker board provides several functions:
• Control of the solenoid valves used for filter
element cleaning.
• Control of the motor starter for the blower
motor.
• Control of the set points used to start and
stop the filter element cleaning function.
• Control of the cleaning mode.
• Continuous monitoring and diagnosis of the
vital functions of the mechanical and
electronic dust collector system components.
• Monitoring of the operating systems.
• Memory storage of the diagnostic readings
for up to one year.
• Ability to accept control, monitoring, and
adjusting of the set points from a remote
computer.
• Visual display of the operating systems.
• Visual warning of abnormal operating
conditions.
• Visual warning of system
mechanical failures.
1.1.1 Functional Detail
A self-cleaning dust collector requires periodic
filter element cleaning. This collector uses pulses of
compressed air to dislodge the collected dust cake,
consequently lowering the pressure drop across the
filter and increasing the airflow.
The Checker board provides cleaning control,
diagnostic review of the operational parameters,
diagnostic review of the physical health of the
system components, and a record of the operational
data and fault conditions for future review.
The operator interface provides control of collector
functions and operational status information.
The design allows for a host computer to remotely
control the collector, accept change to the
operational parameters and check the operational
status. Several collectors may be controlled and
monitored by one external host computer.
*Registered trademarks of Dwyer Instruments Inc.

Donaldson Company, Inc. © 1996 7
The Checker board provides the electronic control
of the pulse cleaning function. This control function
includes starting and stopping the cleaning function
at the assigned (adjustable) set points, initiating the
individual pulses in an appropriate sequence,
providing the correct time interval between pulses,
and energizing the solenoid valve for the proper
length of time. The microprocessor also provides the
logic to control the alternate cleaning modes.
The microprocessor compares the sensor
readings and stored values to determine the
operational health of the system. This comparison
indicates ruptured or plugged filters, cleaning
system component malfunction, excessive
temperature and blower motor overload due to
excess air flow or motor failure. The microprocessor
also has an extensive self-diagnostic test program
that provides valuable information to a Torit service
technician when necessary.
A built-in memory stores operational data at preset
intervals and stores all fault indications that occur.
The memory accumulates data for approximately
one year before overwriting and replacing the oldest
information. This data storage provides information
to a service technician, assisting in accurate
problem diagnosis and providing indication of
intermittent system failures.
The Checker board has an RJ-11 connector which
allows access by a host computer. This connection
provides two-way communication, allowing the host
computer to change the settings, start or stop the
collector, and retrieve all current readings. With the
use of host computer software addressing, one
computer could provide remote set point
adjustment, start/stop, and monitoring of numerous
collectors.
The board also accepts a remote on/off push
button or an external control voltage source to
actuate the board.
1.2 Standard Features
The user interface display consists of several
windows, or panels, each either displaying
information or combining set point adjustment and
information.
1.2.1 Airflow (Figure 3)
The airflow window display uses a light bar to
indicate the relative operating position based on the
calibration information placed in the microprocessor
memory at start-up.
The light bar has 10 segments. From left to right,
the first two are RED, the second two are AMBER,
and the remaining six are GREEN. The initial
reading at start-up should be in the GREEN range.
As the filter elements accumulate dust the airflow
indication will move within the light bar range.
The first AMBER light indicates the collector airflow
is at approximately 40-50 percent of full rated flow.
The first RED light indicates a flow of approximately
25-33 percent of the full rated airflow. One light is
illuminated at a time to indicate the relative position
within the range.

1.2.2 Filter Pressure Drop (Figure 4)
A single window selectively displays the filter
pressure drop (∆P*) or the relative set points.
The pressure drop indicator is a ten segment light
bar. From left to right, the first six lights are GREEN,
the next two are AMBER, and the final two are RED.
This display indicates the amount of static pressure
required to move the airflow from the dirty air
plenum to the clean air plenum through the filter
media and through the tube sheet opening.
The display provides a near linear division of the
available static pressure. The filter pressure drop
indicator lights move from left to right in a bar
display. Each light indicates 3/4" ∆P. One light is
illuminated at a time to indicate the relative position
within the range.
1.2.3 Set Point Indicator (Figure 4)
When using the set point adjustments window, the
bar display switches to a set point display with one
or two lights illuminated. When one light is lit, the set
point is indicated. When two lights are lit, the set
point is bracketed by the two lights (half step).
In Sections 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3 and Figures 3 and 4
are descriptions and pictures of two of the windows
located on the cover of the Checker board
enclosure. Packed with the enclosure are two
stickers (1/4" X 4"). These stickers may be used to
indicate airflow in cubic feet per minute. These
measurements can be determined during start-up
and calibration (Section 4.0 Start Up / Calibration
and Adjusting).
Wipe the surface of the control box to remove any
dust. Apply one sticker just below the LEDs on the
Airflow Window.
Write in the appropriate airflow as measured in the
system (see Figure 3). Airflows shown on Figure 3
are shown as an example only.
1.2.4 Blower ON/OFF (Figure 5)
The Blower window has a blower indicator light
(GREEN) and two push buttons. The green ON push
button provides power to the pull-in coil of the blower
motor starter. The light in this panel indicates the
switch closure only. The red OFF button disengages
the power to the motor starter pull-in coil and turns
off the indicator light.

1.2.5 Set Point Adjustments (Figure 6)
This window contains five push buttons and three
indicator lights (AMBER), which provide the means
to adjust the three functions as labeled. The set
points are indicated in the ten light bar graph display
labeled Set Point Indicator. The two arrow keys on
the adjustment display change the set points.
They respond to either single button presses or a
push and hold action. Each single press moves the
indicator position a half step to the right or left as
indicated by the arrow direction. Holding down the
arrow key produces a stepping action. To activate
the arrow keys, first press one of the three
adjustment buttons. As an example, if the START
CLEAN button is pressed, the light above the key
will indicate successful initiation and the Set Point
Indicator bar graph will switch from displaying the
filter pressure drop to show the set point. Use the
arrow keys to change the set point. The lights in the
Set Point Indicator bar graph display will show the
new value. When the adjustment is complete, press
the START CLEAN button again and the indicator
light will go out, showing successful disengagement
of the function. The bar graph will revert to
displaying the filter pressure drop. The Stop Clean
and Service Interval functions operate in the same
manner.
The system logic prevents overlap of the Start
Clean and Stop Clean set points.
If one of the set point functions is left on, the
microprocessor will automatically revert back to
displaying the Filter Pressure Drop after two
minutes.
NOTE
The push buttons must be held down
for approximately one (1) second to
initiate an action. This prevents
accidental activation.

1.2.6 Unlabeled Window (Figure 7)
The unlabeled window below the Set Point
Adjustments window provides the operator with the
ability to modify the filter cleaning mode. The normal
cleaning mode provides cleaning only when the
pressure drop is within the range defined by the
Start Clean and Stop Clean set points.
CONSTANT CLEAN—This mode ignores
the set point for Start Clean and Stop Clean
and operates the filter cleaning system
continuously while the blower is running.
Activate this mode by pressing and holding
the Constant Clean button until the indicator
light (GREEN) illuminates. Deactivate the
mode by holding the button down until the
light goes out.
DOWN TIME CLEAN—This mode allows
the filter cleaning to continue after the blower
motor is turned off. After a delay to allow the
blower to stop rotating, the cleaning mode will
then start, sequentially pulse cleaning until
the end of the preset cycle. At the end of the
cleaning cycle, the system shuts down and
remains dormant until the system is
reactivated. This cleaning mode will remain in
effect until turned off, initiating down time
cleaning each time the OFF button shuts the
system down. To activate this mode, press
and hold the DOWN TIME CLEAN button until
the indicator light illuminates (GREEN).
Deactivate the mode by holding the button
down until the light goes out.
SERVICE INTERVAL LIGHT RESET—
This button resets the indicator light located in
the Maintenance Required window.
The system logic requires that the system
be shut down before the reset button will
function. If the system is on, the reset button
will have no effect. To reset the indicator light,
turn the system off, perform the necessary
maintenance (i.e. emptying the hopper/drum
or changing filters), and reset the light before
restarting the blower.
1.2.7 Maintenance Required (Figure 8)
The Maintenance Required window contains a
group of diagnostic functions which, with the
exception of Service Interval, indicate an abnormal
condition exists. The Service Interval indicator will
allow you to schedule routine service as required by
your system. Each of the fault indicator lights, again
with the exception of the Service Interval, is either
reset each time you press the OFF button or reset
automatically when the abnormal condition ends. A
fault light that resets at shut down remains off only if
the fault condition has been corrected. The Service
Interval light has a separate reset button.
PANEL—This indicates that either the
microprocessor-based printed circuit board
has self-diagnosed a fault in its operation or
the power supply voltage applied to the board
is not within acceptable limits.
CLEANING FAILURE—This indicates that
either a solenoid valve, diaphragm valve, or
relay failed to operate resulting in an improper
cleaning pulse. This light will also indicate
either low pressure or complete lack of
compressed air for the cleaning system.
FILTER RUPTURE—This indicates an
unexplained, sudden decrease in pressure
drop across the filter element. Verify this fault
condition by examining the air discharge from
the collector. The fault light may also come on
as a result of either a sudden closure of an
inlet or discharge damper, or other system
changes that cause a rapid decrease in air
flow.

FILTER PLUGGED—This indicates that
the pressure drop across the filter element
exceeds the Start Clean set point and that the
cleaning system can not lower the pressure
drop measurement below the upper limit set
point. If the pressure drop does not appear
excessive, check the Start Clean set point for
proper adjustment.
TEMPERATURE—This fault is preset at
the time of shipment. It will signal that the air
stream temperature has exceeded the
maximum temperature recommended for the
filters installed.
SERVICE INTERVAL—The Service
Interval feature can be based on either a timer
function or an external event. If the Set Point
Adjustment for Service Interval responds, the
unit is configured as an elapsed time indicator
and is intended to signal proper service
intervals for the dust collector. The timer can
easily signal any routine service required by
the system design. If the Set Point
Adjustment function does not work, the unit is
configured to respond to an external signal,
such as a high level indicator. For information
on the use of external signals, see Section
2.5.4 EXT IN (External Input #1).
BLOWER OVERCURRENT—This
diagnostic light indicates that the blower
motor is exceeding the recommended
horsepower output, including any service
factor. This will usually indicate that the
system airflow exceeds the rated operating
range. Changing the damper settings or
increasing the external static pressure are
both ways of reducing the airflow. Operating
the collector either prior to installing the
ductwork, with filter elements removed, with
the door(s) removed, or with the hopper open
to the atmosphere will also create excess
flow conditions.

• Compare the items received
against the packing slip.
2.0 INSTALLATION (Figure 1)
Mounting Instructions—Remote Checker Board
The enclosure for the Checker board should be
mounted in a location convenient for the operator or
maintenance personnel. Since the display provides
visual warning of problems and operating conditions,
much of its value is lost if the location does not
permit continuous observation. For the longest, most
trouble-free operation, mount the enclosure to a wall
or column with little or no vibration.
(See Figure 9)
In order to get reliable signals to the sensors, the
Checker board's pneumatic sensor lines should not
exceed 250 feet. Lengths in excess of this may
weaken the signals to the point that they are not
readable. Contact the Torit representative for
assistance if the sensor lines must be longer than
250 feet. Thirty-five feet of each of the pneumatic
tubing lines ship with the remote Checker board.
(See Figure 10)
Field wire from the terminal strip in the Checker
board enclosure to the terminal strip in the SDF
electrical located at the top-front of the collector.
Follow the "Remote Wired" or "Remote Partially
Wired" Point-to-Point wiring diagrams shipped
with the collector.
Use properly grounded shielded twisted pair wire
to connect the temperature sensor, preferably in a
metal conduit. The shielded twisted pair wire ships
with the collector.

CAUTION 2.4 Pre-Installation—
Remote Checker Board
Before installing the Checker board prepare an
area that is clean and away from static discharges
that could damage the components. Choose a
location for the enclosure that will provide easy
access to the interface panel on the outside of the
enclosure and will allow the cover to be opened fully
for service. The distance away from the collector is
limited by the length of tubing and twisted pair cable
that is provided by Torit. If additional tubing or
twisted pair are required, please contact your local
Torit representative (s ee Section 2.0.1 Mounting
Instructions).

2.5.1 Blower Motor Current Sensor Setup Table
(See Figures 12 & 13)
The motor amperage located on the motor
nameplate is necessary for positioning the jumpers.
Determine the voltage input to the motor. The
specific voltage will indicate the amp draw on the
nameplate. Refer to the column "Blower Motor Full
Load Amps" in Figure 12. Choose the amperage
that matches the amp rating on the motor. Choose
the letter corresponding to the amperage required
and refer to Figure 13 for the jumper position.

There is one jumper plug on the main printed
circuit board, located as shown in Figure 13.
The third column refers to the number of times that
the motor leads are passed through the current
sensor coil(s). Please refer to the wiring diagram
supplied with the Checker board.
2.5.2 Primary Voltage
• Switch Position (See Figure 14)
Position the voltage switch to correspond to the
incoming power. When pushed to the left, the
switch is set for 90 to 130 VAC. When pushed to
the right, the switch is set for 180 to 260 VAC.
The user must provide a control transformer
for all other voltages.
• Incoming Voltage (hot) (See Figure 14)
IN/OUT HOT
This is the primary voltage source for the
board. Acceptable voltages are 90 to 130 or 180
to 260 VAC/50-60Hz/1 Ø. The "hot," or phase,
wire connects to the IN terminal. The OUT
terminal provides a convenient point to connect
the "line" voltage to the other output connections
that will operate on the same voltage, such as
solenoid relays.
• Incoming Neutral (See Figure 14)
IN/OUT NEUTRAL
This is the neutral connection for the primary
voltage source. The primary connections should
attach to the IN side, using either the IN or OUT
side to provide "common" connections to the
other outputs (such as the relays).
2.5.3 ON/OFF
(See Figure 14)
This remote ON/OFF circuit provides an
optional switch for applications that need
automatic interlocked starting and stopping, and
for applications with the panel out of physical
reach of the operator. Momentary voltage,
impressed across the ON/OFF terminals,
switches and latches the circuit. If the collector is
ON, it shuts down; if the collector if OFF, it will
start. A second momentary connection causes
the circuit to revert to the original operational
state.

2.5.4 EXT IN (External Input) #1
(See Figure 8 & 14)
(See SERVICE INTERVAL Section 1.2.7)
External Input #1 (EXT IN #1) permits the
customer to control the SERVICE INTERVAL fault
light in the MAINTENANCE REQUIRED panel
with an external device, such as a high level
control in a dust storage container, instead of
using the internal timer. One terminal connects to
neutral; the second connects to a voltage source,
either 120 VAC or 24 VDC, connected through a
normally open switch provided by the external
fault indication device. This external output only
functions if the configuration in the
microprocessor was factory-set to read this
input rather than use the internal clock
method of indicating a time-based service
interval.
If the SERVICE INTERVAL light is controlled by
the internal clock timer, EXT IN #1 does not
function.
2.5.5 SER I/O (Serial Port Input/Output)
(See Figure 15)
This RJ-11 socket provides the connection for the
monitoring and control of multiple collectors.
Contacta Torit representative forfurther information.
2.5.6 SER I/O TO COMPUTER (See Figure 15)
This RJ-11 connection (the one closest to the
edge of the printed circuit board) provides the
computer interface, allows remote ON/OFF,
adjusting of set points, and monitoring of
conditions by a host computer. Contact a Torit
representative for information related to
communication requirements.
2.5.7 TEMP 1 (Temperature)
(See Figures 10 & 16)
This is the connection for the thermistor
monitoring the air stream temperature in the clean
air plenum.
2.5.8 TEMP 2 (See Figures 10 & 16)
This is intended for future use.
2.5.9 CUR 1 (Current) (See Figures 11 & 17)
This is a mounting position for a current sensor.
See Figure 11 for proper connections. The current
sensor measures the amp draw of the blower
drive motor, providing airflow information through
the light bar display.

2.5.10 Solenoid and Motor Starter Relays
(See Figure 18 & 20)
Relay #1 is always used to control the pull-in
coil on the motor starter that activates and stops
the system blower. Relays numbered 2 and higher
provide control of the system solenoid valves
used for element cleaning.
The relay outputs can be either 115 Volt AC or
24 Volt DC. The 24 VDC version has a
transformer to supply DC current to the relays.
The 24 VDC version leaves Relay #2 blank to
provide separation of the 115 or 230 VAC motor
starter voltage from the 24 VDC used for the
solenoid valves.
Relays used for solenoid control can operate up
to three solenoids each. Do not connect more
than one solenoid on any air manifold to a
common relay.
2.5.11 Signal Terminal
(See Figure 21)
The Signal terminal provides a means to export
a logic signal to a PLC from a transistor-type
Optocoupler, indicating that one or more of the
Maintenance Required lights are illuminated
(see Figure 8). Any fault light, except the
SERVICE INTERVAL light, causes the
Optocoupler to pass a DC logic signal to a
connected PLC for approximately 0.5 seconds.
Typical circuits to use this signal are illustrated
in Figure 19.
