Check all control functions.
Check that all connections have been correctly made and that the appropriate power sources are
available.
It is IMPERATIVE that the unit is installed and adjusted to ensure that the stated airflow is not
exceeded - excessive air volumes can seriously affect filtration efficiency and element life.
Note: Unless otherwise specified, the cleaning control and manifold have been tested and confirmed
to be fully functional prior to despatch from Hycontrol. With the exception of power supply to the
controller and fan (if fitted) along with a compressed air supply to the manifold no other connections
are required.
4. OPERATION
General operating parameters
To complete installation, insert the complete element into the filter plate. Reposition the clamps and
tighten until the clamp bottoms on the spacer - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Once the clamp is tight
against the spacer the cartridges are sealed and further tightening will only cause damage. Maximum
tightening torque is 22 Nm.
Whilst retaining hold of the cowl handle, release and secure plunger in withdrawn position and lower
the cowl. Please take care if the cowl is exposed to high winds. Fit the two M12 retaining bolts.
Commissioning
Any work carried out on the equipment should be carried out by competent persons.
Check that all packaging and protection materials are removed prior to start up. This can include
remote controls taped inside unit, protection around explosion relief panel, etc.
Ensure all cartridges are correctly fitted. Ensure access door is sealed.
We recommend commissioning of the unit is carried out by experienced and competent personnel.
Commissioning requires adjusting the system airflow to the design duty and taking static pressure
readings as a basis point for reference and future thorough examinations and tests.
DO NOT plug or make connections to the solenoid valve vent ports as this may inhibit the operation of
the valves.
It is important that the silo on which a filter unit is mounted is not overfilled, as this can cause blinding
and over-pressurisation. Transfer from lorry tanker to a silo must be correctly controlled to ensure that
excessive volumes of air are not introduced into the silo, this can cause premature deterioration of the
media.
The compressed air manifold has been designed and manufactured to the operating limits of
temperature and pressure as stated on the manifold data plate. The limits of temperature, in
particular the upper limit, are specific to the manifold fabrication and do not imply that all other
components associated with the manifold or dust collector are capable of operating at such
temperatures. If a unit is to be utilised in an operating temperature range other than that for which it
was originally intended. Please contact Hycontrol to ascertain suitability.
The cleaning controls are NOT preset at works to suit any specific application, although under
inspection these will normally be left set at approximately 100 millisecond duration and 15 second
interval. As no two applications are the same, filtering process must be monitored and the controls
adjusted to suit the particular application, as outlined in section 5.
