SECTION 200-RECEIVING YOUR EQUIPMENT
200.1 The Purchaser’s Responsibility
A visual inspection of your equipment should be performed before it is removed from the truck. Dents,
scratches and other damage should be noted and photographed. The structural integrity of the housing
will be adversely affected by large dents. Farr should immediately be notified of any structural damage to
your equipment. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to file shortage reports and damage claims
with the carrier and your Farr representative. The carrier is responsible for any damage to the
equipment while it is in transit unless specific arrangements are made otherwise.
The Gold Series dust collector is shipped disassembled and must be reassembled by installation
personnel. Unit assembly, with the exception of the electrical and air connections, can usually be
accomplished by anyone with a basic understanding of common hand tools.
Besides a common set of hand tools, a crane, fork-lift and/or chain-fall will be required to position the fan
and motor on top of the unit clean-air plenum and lift heavier components into position.
Farr must rely on the skill and expertise of its customers and the customer's installation
contractor to ensure that all electrical connections are made correctly and air connections and
regulation devices are installed and operating properly.

200.3 How Your Equipment Is Shipped
It is Farr’s goal to ship our products as economically and practically as possible. In order to save our
customers shipping costs, it is our goal to load your collector on as few trucks as necessary. The number
and size of trucks required to transport your collector will depend solely on the size of your unit. The
trucks are loaded to minimize damage to the collector while loading, shipping, and unloading. Typically,
your collector will ship with the hopper, plenum, support structure, fan and other accessories
disassembled. These items will be loaded on the trucks separately and placed on pallets for easy
unloading. A fork-truck or crane may be needed to unload your collector depending on the size of the
unit. All assembly hardware will be located in a box that will be placed in the inlet of the plenum
section of your collector. A picture of a typical collector loaded on a flat bed trailer is shown in Figure
200.2
200.4 Uncrating and Inspection
Each Gold Series dust collector is normally shipped on two or more skids. One skid contains the filter
module section. A second skid contains the hopper section and other skids will contain fans, support legs,
safety monitoring filters, airlocks and custom accessories. Typically, the filter cartridges, control box
and any other user installed components are shipped inside the cartridge area of the bin-vent
section.
Use extreme care when handling the unit and components. Careless handling can damage delicate
parts or affect assembly alignments. Compare the number of items received against the carrier's Bill of
Lading. The project drawing has a listing of all loose components shipped with the job. A copy of this
drawing is included with this manual submittal and can also be found in the small parts box located in the
inlet of the collector. Inspect all items for apparent damage. Immediately report any shortages or
obvious damage to the carrier and to your local Farr Representative or call Farr at 1-800-479-6801.
When all skids are completely unpacked, check all items received against the material list on the project
drawing and or the packing list (if any) sent with the shipment. Further inspect the unit and components
for hidden damage. Again, report any shortages or damage to the carrier and to your local Farr
Representative.
Do not return any damaged components without first contacting your Farr Representative to
obtain Returned Goods Authorization (RGA). Carefully inspect all packing material so that small
parts are not inadvertently discarded.
200.5 Understand Your Serial Plate
Once you receive your equipment, it will be important to have the collector’s part, model, and order
numbers. This information will be helpful when calling customer service or finding original equipment
supplied with the collector. This information should be found on a silver plate above the door on your
collector. You should write this information in this book for easy access. Here is what your serial plate will
show.
Part Number – This will link the unit to the prints and
engineering documents associated with your unit.
Model – This tells us what style unit you purchased.
Product – This information will identify what model of
Farr dust collector you own. Gold Series should be
printed in this area.
Serial Number – This number will provide all of the
same information (part numbers, size, and model) and
will also provide the sold to and ship to addresses. It will also provide all of the accessories sold with the
unit, and the best source of information for ordering replacement parts.

SECTION 310-ASSEMBLING YOUR GOLD
SERIES
310.1 Hardware
Refer to Figure 310.1 for typical assembly points of a
standard collector. Refer to the General Dimension
drawings for specifics, such as item part numbers, inlet
and outlet locations, foundation dimensions and
accessories.
Locate the cartons containing the installation hardware.
The cartons will be labeled with the part number and are
normally located inside the inlet. The carton containing
the hardware to be used for the support legs and cross
braces will be labeled “hardware kit for structural
support”. The carton(s) to be used to bolt the bin-vent to
the hopper(s) will contain 3/8-16 thread cutter screws and
roll(s) of gray rope caulk. Separate the hardware for ease
of location during assembly.
310.2 Hoppers
Locate the hopper(s) and support legs. Remove the
hopper(s) from the skid(s) and place on a flat, level
surface. Note: GS24 and smaller units will ship with the
support legs, cross braces and hopper(s) pre-assembled.
If your collector includes multiple hoppers place them in
the correct configuration as shown on the General
Dimensions drawing. Using a tape measure or string line,
square the hopper(s) as necessary. Bolt the hopper(s)
together using the corner support brackets and hardware
as shown on Figure 310.2.
310.3 Support Legs and Braces
Refer to Figure 310.2 for general assembly and your
support structure drawing for specific parts. Locate the
support legs and bolt them to the corner support
brackets. Locate the cross braces and bolt them to the support legs. If your collector contains knee
braces, bolt one end to the support leg and the other end to the corner support bracket. Note: Do not
tighten any of the bolts until all bolts have been started.
310.4 Hopper/Support Structure Assembly
Lift the completed hopper/support structure assembly with a forklift or chain hoist and carefully overturn
into an upright position. Note: The slots for lifting in the corner support brackets –Figure 310.2.
Move the assembly into final position. Ensure that inspection panels or optional device connections are
in the desired orientation. Note: On GS6, 10 & 20 collectors, the bin-vent to hopper(s) bolt-holes are
not symmetrical. Turn the hopper/support structure assembly so that when the “Match Line”
label(s) on the hopper(s) line up with the “Match Line” label(s) on the bin-vent, the collector is in
the desired orientation. The “Match Line” labels do not have to line up perfectly; they are intended
only for general hopper to bin-vent orientation –Figure 310.3.
Level the hopper flange(s) with a transit or carpenter’s level. Grout the support leg bases as necessary.
Anchor the support legs to the floor using appropriate concrete anchors (by installing contractor).
310.5 Filter Module

mount fan, remove the upper side panel from the side you intend to make your fan duct flanged
connection. Remove any old rope caulk that did not come off with the upper side panel.
Clean the fan flange and apply rope caulk, ensuring a continuous seal.
If you have a top mount fan, lift the fan onto the filter module roof. Bolt the fan to the fan mount panel
using the hardware included –Figure 310.1. If you have a remote mount fan refer to section 320 (Remote
mount fan discharges) for further instructions.
Remove any dirt or other accumulation from the hopper flange. Line the hopper flange with rope caulk as
indicated in Figure 310.3. Ensure that there is a continuous seal on the flange.
Lift the filter module, using the lifting lugs provided and approved lifting equipment – Figure 310.3. Failure
to connect lifting cable to all (4) lifting lugs may result in damage to the collector. On larger collectors,
adequate cable length or a spreader bar is required to prevent damage to the collector.
Clean the filter module flange and set onto the hopper flange, taking care not to damage the flanges or
rope caulk. Ensure that the orientation of the collector is as desired for your installation. Note: On GS6,
10 & 20 collectors ensure that the “Match Line” label(s) on the filter module, line up with the
“Match Line” label(s) on the hopper(s) - Figure 310.3.
Attach the filter module to the hopper, using 3/8-16 thread cutter screws – Figure 310.3. Use a drift or
alignment pin to align holes as necessary. Insert bolts into each of the four corners without tightening
them. Insert the bolts from the corners to the center of the collector. Note: Do not tighten bolts when
starting to align hopper. Wait until all bolts have been started before tightening. Keep most of the
weight on the crane or forklift supporting the filter module. This will allow you to move and adjust the filter
module as necessary.
310.6 Discharge Accessories
Locate the hopper discharge accessory supplied with your collector. This will be a drum kit/slide gate,
rotary airlock or screw conveyor. Install the accessory to the hopper discharge flange(s) using the
General Dimensions drawing and Section 320 as a guide.

320.1 Inlet Duct Design
When you run ducting to your collector, it is important to follow these guidelines.
1. The straight length of duct entering the inlet should be a minimum of 2 duct diameters.
2. The transition angle from the duct to the inlet flange should be a minimum of 45°.
In figure 320.8, the “RECOMMENDED” design shows a vertical section of duct, a 90° elbow and a
horizontal length of a least 2 duct diameters before entering the inlet. The air direction will cause the
dust to be evenly distributed to the filters. In the “NOT RECOMMENDED” design, the duct enters the
inlet at an angle. The air direction will force dust already in the hopper (previously pulsed off the
filters), to be re-entrained into the air stream.
In figure 320.9, the “RECOMMENDED” design shows a straight section of duct that is at least 2 duct
diameters long, before entering the inlet. The air direction will cause the dust to be evenly distributed
to all of the filters in the collector. In the “NOT RECOMMENDED” design, the duct is not long enough
to allow the air to straighten out before entering the inlet. The air direction will force the dust to one
side of the collector, resulting in uneven dust loading on the filters.

320.2 Inlet Flanges
Depending on the size and orientation of your Gold Series collector, the inlet will have one or more of
three inlet designs. These inlets are configured and classified with the number of modules that the
collector uses to support the inlet plenum. Larger collectors may have more than one inlet plenum
and vary in the size of the inlet. Figures 320.1, 320.2 and 320.3 show dimensions of the one, two, and
three module inlets respectively. When attaching ductwork to these flanges always be sure to caulk or
place gasket material between the duct and collector before bolting them together.
320.3 Remote Mount Fan Discharges
Remote mount fans, provided by Farr, will be ducted to the collector by removing an upper panel and
attaching the ductwork to the frame of the Gold Series dust collector. The ductwork will be attached to
the flange details on Figures 320.4-320.7. These dimensions are the bolt patterns for the panel and
frames. Either the side panels, on the upper section of the dust collector, or top panels can be
removed. Figure 320.4, is the bolt pattern for the full sized side panel, while Figure 320.5, is for the
half sized side panel. Figure 320.6 and 320.7 are for the full and half sized top panels respectively.
When attaching ductwork to these flanges, always be sure to caulk or place gasket between the duct
and collector before bolting them together.
320.4 Top Mount Fan Discharges
Top mount fans, provided by Farr, are field mounted on the top of the Gold Series collector. All Farr
provided fans will have a fan damper supplied with the fan. When attaching ductwork to this flange,
always be sure to caulk or place gasket between the duct and damper outlet before bolting them
together.
320.5 Discharge Hopper Flange
Accessories will be attached to the hopper discharge flange. See your General dimensions drawing for
the dimensions for your flange.

WARNING! Failure to perform an approved Lock-out/Tag-out procedure may result in a sudden
release of energy resulting in property damage, personal injury or death! Ensure that the circuit
you are working with is off before you make these or any other electrical connections. Serious
injury may result if you do not take proper safety precautions!
Farr can supply the fan, motor starter, and rotary air locks (or other discharge devices) for our dust
collectors. However, the customer or Farr representative may elect to supply the fan and other
accessories. It is imperative that all equipment installed complies with your local electrical code. Check
your paper work and information plates to determine electrical specifications for your equipment.
Mount the motor starter enclosure in a convenient location for operation. Use the enclosure as a template
for marking and drilling mounting holes. Possible locations include a support leg or plant wall near the
collector.
Run conduit and wiring (supplied by others) from the motor starter to the fan motor and from the power
source to the motor starter. The wiring diagram for the motor will be either on the motor or inside the
motor junction box. Connect the wiring from the motor starter to the fan and from the power source to the
motor starter. A qualified electrician should only make these connections.

330.2 Timer Control
This discussion refers to standard equipment that uses 120/220 VAC, single phase, 50/60 Hz power.
Refer to your General Dimensions drawing to confirm the electrical requirements of your equipment.
Connection instructions are the same regardless of the voltage source. Refer to the documentation
attached to this manual and the timer control box for further information regarding the installation of your
specific control.
If equipped, mount the Automatic Timer Control on a wall or stand close to the collector. It is important to
mount the timer near the collector so that you can monitor the performance. Keep in mind that both
pressure gage and electrical connections need to be made to the timer control. Note: Do not mount the
timer control to the dust collector! Vibration from the pulsejets may damage the sensitive
electronic equipment.
330.3 Solenoids
To wire your solenoids, follow Figures 330.1 and 330.3.1. Each solenoid will have two wires attached –
one specific for the numbered row of cartridges and a second wire that will be attached to all of the
solenoids (called the Common). The Common is factory pre-wired on the solenoids, therefore only one
connection will need to be made. Once the solenoid has been wired, the corresponding wires will then be
attached to the control board as shown in Figure 330.3.2. The Common will share a terminal with the L2
terminal (120 volt “return” power line). Note: The Controllers will have a separate Common
connection terminal on the board; this terminal is internally connected to the L2 power terminal
and has the same effect as wiring into the L2. Connect the first wire (other than the Common) from a
solenoid on a row of cartridges, to the corresponding numbered terminal on your control board. Once this
is done for all of the rows, you can connect the L1 and L2 Terminals (L1 is “Hot”, L-2 is “Return”) to your
120-volt power source. For more information on the diaphragm and solenoids see the attached
specification sheets.

Table 330.3.1 shows the number of solenoids and automatic timer controller outputs for the standard
Gold Series models. For GS2 through GS60 models, there are at least as many timer outputs as there
are solenoids. Each timer output connects to an individual solenoid. For GS72 through GS120 models,
there are more solenoids than timer outputs. These models also have two headers (compressed air
reservoirs). If your collector is one of these models, you must connect some of the timer outputs to two
solenoids. When you connect a timer output to two solenoids, make sure the solenoids are connected to
diaphragm valves on different headers, as shown in Figure 330.3.3.
