DCM600 to 1800 - Instruction Manual
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The dust cleaning systems have cartridges, used to draw the abrasive suspended inside the cabinet or
room.
The fan sucks air in from the recycler from 600 to 1800 cfm, depending on the size of the turbine and the
engine. Dust and fine particles pass through the recycler and are retained by the dust and only clean air
is rejected.
The cartridges are cleaned by a pulse of compressed air blowing the inside of it. The pulse reverses
momentarily the flow of air passing through the cartridges and clearing the dust on the outer surface of
the cartridges. The dust falls to the bottom of the barrel and dust recovery thereafter (page 17).
The interval of the pulses is controlled by a timer inside the control box. The timer control time function
(duration of each pulse) and the stop time (downtime between each pulse). Time as a function should
never be adjusted. The higher the setting time off, the lower the time in each pulse will be short.
CAUTION : Do not operate the system cleaning on new cartridges before they are sealed. Emit a pulse of
non-sealed cartridges could cause premature failure of the cartridges or reduce the effectiveness of dust.
The differential pressure indicator shows the difference in pressure between the side coated with dust
and clean the cartridges. The indicator helps determine the appropriate pressure and pulse time setting
off. See page 16.
BEFORE STARTING TO WORK you must wear earing protections, ecient for 80 dB or more.

DCM600 to 1800 - Instruction Manual
1. The dust collector should be located on a leveled area near the back of the cabinet, while respecting
the laws and regulations in your area. Allow access to components such as the pressure gauge, fan,
door and hatch, the barrel, the cartridges and cleaning system.
2. Make sure the equipment is leveled, installed on a solid surface, and well grounded. Do not place
on a wooden floor or a rubber mat, unless a ground wire has been installed. Check with a qualified
electrician.
3. This dust collector requires an electrical connection. The electrical connections depend on the size
and number of motor phases. Refer to the Electrical Drawings on pages 25 to 29.
4. After the installation is complete, verify the direction of rotation of the turbine. To check the direction
of rotation, turn on and turn off the engine quickly to provoke a slow rotation of the blades. Look
inside the slots above the engine where the turbine can be readily observed. The right direction of
rotation is indicated by an arrow. The impeller should rotate toward the blower.
If the rotation is not the same, please notify an electrician so that it performs the necessary change.
INSTALLATION
GROUNDING: To prevent static electricity from accumulation, connect the ground wire of the
dust collector to a connection anchored to the factory ground.
5. Check the amperage on initial startup. If the engine uses too much amperage, gradually close the wall until
the data meets the specied amperage of the motor plate. The partition is located at the fan outlet.
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE ISTBLAST EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST
ADHERE TO THE CODES, STANDARDS, AND PROCEDURES SPECIFIED BY THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION.
THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING APPROPRIATE DISCONNECTING MEANS ADJACENT TO THE
EQUIPMENT FOR EACH INCOMING POWER CIRCUIT..
BEFORE PROCEEDING TO INSTALLATION, THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY MUST BE LOCKED AND TAGGED.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES DUE TO ELECTRIC SHOCK..
NEVER LOOK INSIDE THE EXIT OF THE FAN WHEN THE FAN IS RUNNING. FAN EJECTED DEBRIS COULD CAUSE INJURY.

INSTALLATION CONT’D
6. Connect one end of the tubular transport of abrasive at the exit
of recycling
1
and the other end at the entrance at the bottom
of the scrubber
2
. Secure each end of the hose with clamps
included with the hose.
The wire is removed on the rst 2 or 3 inches. Be careful not
to damage the hose. The wire helps dissipate static electricity
inside the hose. For the static is dissipated, each segment
must be in contact with the metal of which must have a rm
grounding installed.
7. Make sure the dust collecting drum is properly located under
the dust collector and that it has been correctly secured to it.
8. Connect your shop’s air supply line to the dust collector air
inlet. Your air supply must be coupled to the air inlet with
a ¾’’ Chicago male coupling 3for an inlet of ½’’ ball
valve in order to compensate the air restriction. (see
details page 10).
Never use male-female quick couplings. Choose couplings that
offer as little restriction to the airflow as possible.
To properly operate, your IST system must use clean, dry air.
Use proper filters, air dryers, and air purifying systems to ensure
clean and dry air is supplied.
An isolating valve should be installed at the main source of air
to depressurize the system for maintenance.
If you use a rigid conduit for your air duct, a flexible section
must be installed to allow the opening of the door.
IF YOU USE INTERLOCKING CONNECTIONS, LIKE
CHICAGO COUPLINGS, SECURE THEM WITH PINS.
A CONNECTION THAT DISCONNECTS UNDER
PRESSURE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

ADJUSTMENTS
Pressure Module
The pressure regulator located at the entrance of the tank, adjust the pressure pulses. Adjust the pressure
to 70 psi.
Automatic cleaning system
Your dust collector is equipped with an automatic cleaning of the cartridges. A digital display will indicate
the status of dirt cartridges, this indication is expressed on a scale of inches of water vacuum, this value
will indicate the restriction (amounts of dust) on the cartridges. The electronic module will activate the
cleaning cartridges as needed according to the schedule settings and cleaning will stop automatically
when the cleaning is completed. If your dust collector is equipped with a HEPA option please ensure
that preventive maintenance is performed to replace the filters on a regular basis, they could affect the
amount of air cfm circuit and minimize the visibility for the operator blasting cabinet (HEPA system has
no automatic cleaning system).
Programming automatic sequencer
This module can be configured to achieve maximum efficiency of your cartridges, some parameters must
be changed if required Please refer to the section: DCT1000 module on pages 32 to 49.
Use the keys (Select) and (Up) (Down) you will be able to change some parameter.
Note: Your unit has been programmed in the factory, if you change some settings be sure to write down
the initial settings.
OPERATION
ATTENTION: any person operating this equipment must be aware of the dangers related to sandblasting.
Prolonged exposure to dust may cause severe lung damage or death. If you ingest toxic materials such as
lead dust or dust from heavy metals or corrosives this may cause serious respiratory problems or death.
Identify materials to be removed by sanding and get a data sheet of the abrasive used. If lead or other toxic
material is removed by sanding, HEPA lter should be used.
Initial startup
Before to start, the dust collector hatch and the drawer of the recycler must be closed when the scrubber
is operating.
WARNING: do not operate the cleaning system on new cartridges before they are clogged. Emit a pulse
on unclogged cartridges could cause premature failure cartridges or reduce the efficiency of the dust
collector. This initial clogging layer dust will allow cartridges to filter efficiently. It is for this reason that
during the first hours of use, the filter elements of your dust collector will leave some dust escaping from
the air outlet.
Start-up operation
Make sure the front access door is closed securely by using the pull handles and the recycler of the
drawer is locked with latches. Make sure that the sequencer is running.
NOTE: Do not start the cleaning system before the cartridges are pre-clogged.
Shutdown
Let the dust vacuum particles suspended in the blast room fall down.
Turn off the engine of the dust collector.
Turn off lights extra.
Close the air supply.
Empty the dust by trapping in the dust collector or empty the dust collection barrel (See page 10).
DRAINING DUST
Remove dust from the barrel on a regular basis. Before opening the door, make sure you have a container
under the trap to collect dust. If you are equipped with a barrel under your dust collection, open the lid
and empty the barrel.
