VII. Fan / Blower Maintenance
A high pressure blower requires a certain amount of resistance which will prevent motor
over amperage.
Make sure power source matches wire voltage configurations.
Check set screw and key in fan wheel, make sure fan wheel is secure. Fan blower should
not vibrate.
1. E ectrica - Failure to follow instructions and safe electrical procedures could result in serious injury or death.
Disconnect all power and discharge all capacitors before servicing. Install and ground per local and national
codes. Consult a licensed electrician with questions or if repairs are required.
Electrical Connections -
A.) All wiring, fusing, and grounding must comply with National Electrical Codes and local codes.
B.) To determine proper rotation and voltage connections, refer to the Wire Diagram of this manual.
C.) Use the proper size of line current protection and motor controls as required by the National Electrical Code
and local codes. Recommended use is 125% of full load amps as shown on the nameplate for motors with
40 degrees Celsius ambient and a service factor over 1.0. Recommended use is 115% of full load amps as
shown on the nameplate for all other motors. Do not use protection with larger capacities than recommended.
Three phase motors must have all three phases protected.
2. C ean iness - Keep both the interior and exterior of the motor free from dirt, water, oil, and grease.
3. Safety - Motors should be installed, protected and fused in accordance with latest issue of National Electrical
Code, NEMA Standard Publication No. MG 2 and local codes. Rotating parts such as pulleys, coupling, external
fans, and unusual shaft extensions should be permanently guarded. Keep hands and clothing away from
moving parts. Electrical repairs should be made by trained, qualified personnel only.
4. Service - Notice - If lubrication instructions are shown on the motor nameplate, they will supercede this
general instruction.

cartridge.
Caution: Fine dust collected in filter is hazardous
to your health! Do not breathe!
The External Filter can be cleaned using the following methods:
Wait a few minutes for internal dust to settle in
dust pans or 55 gal. drum, then unclip and
carefully empty dust bin.
All steps should be done with a dust mask and eye protection and System off.
1. Compressed air from outside.
Blast air along pleats of the filter at about a 20
angle. Blast air out and away from you or anyone
in the general area. DO NOT remove dust pan
before blowing.
Keep air nozzle at least 6 from filter. Closer
blasts may damage filter material. 6
Filter must be cleaned regularly or filter
damage may result. If gauge reaches 3,
it is time to clean your filter. Never allow
gauge to reach 5. You could destroy your
filter. See page 16.

IX. Accessories
Dust Bin Options - (May require Custom Mounting Stand.)
1. Hoppers -
Large capacity hoppers from .5 cu. yd. to 3 cu. yd.
3/16 reinforcing angle for added support - 3/16 plate body is 100% continuously
MIG welded on inside - 3/8 rear cross brace angle (not 3/16) - three 3 base
channel - All angles are structural not formed.
Supplied stand will accomodate up to a 2 yd. hopper w/o modification. Larger
stands available.
2. Air Locks -
Rotary air locks provide an
alternative to an air tight dust bin
for larger volume capacity and
less maintenance.
Magnetic Motor Starters - The 7.5hp Direct Drive dust collectors do not come
wired or with an on/off switch. Because of the voltage and amperage requirements
of the system, an industrial switch must be used.
OAS offers Square D Full Voltage Non-Reversing across the Line Starters,
Nema Type 1 Enclosure with Start/Stop in cover, and class 10 overload. Industrial
switches can also be purchased through your local electrician. Due to varying
electrical codes, OAS cannot specify exact wiring requirements. When wiring
the collector you should always hire a licensed electrician.
Bin Le el Monitor - AIB000000 - Provides level sensing for dry bulk solids.
The monitor operates by using a 1 rpm synchronous motor to rotate a paddle.
When paddle rotation is impeded by material surrounding it, the motor is de-
energized and triggers a SPDT snap switch. The snap switch can be used in
conjunction with a motor starter to turn equipment off or provide alarm functions.
Bin Le el Sensor Assembly w/ Strobe Light
- AXB000000
Pre-assembled package Includes
- Bin-level sensor, pre-wired to junction box
- Blue strobe light
- Modular cord connections from strobe light to junction box
- Junction box with pigtail wires to connect 110V supply power
3. Cone w/ Clean Out -
Optional cone with clean
out plate for use with
airlocks..

X. Troubleshooting
Motor Overheating
The m t rs internal circuit breaker will trip if the m t r is verheating.
Air leaks between the collector and dust bin
- The lid of the dust bin and the cyclone must be in place and sealed when operating the dust collector.
- Make sure flex hose is not torn and the hose clamps are tight.
- Check drum lid; cover should have a foam seal and be well seated.
- Check for holes or leaks in the dust bin barrel.
Caused By
Motor not properly wired. Check wire connections.
- Check motor rotation - See wire diagram
Check breaker box. Make sure power supply is 110V if wiring 110V or 220V if wiring for 220V.
Poor Dust Pick-Up at Woodworking Machines
Caused By
Check length of duct runs and duct diameters compared to ductwork design guideline.
Make sure all ductwork is sealed. Large air losses will occur even through small cracks in the
ductwork. Use silicone, duct tape or duct mastic compound as a sealant.
Check for air leaks between collector and dust bin.
Close all unused blast gates at your woodworking machines.
Examine hood design for weaknesses according to the ductwork guide.
Check for a restricted pipe, too small a hood port or too small a branch line. See branch line
diameter chart in ductwork guide.
Be sure that your filters are clean. See filter cleaning directions.
Fi ters fi ing with arge chips and excessive dust
Caused By
Air leakage between cyclone and dust bin. Cyclone and dust bin must be air tight. Even small leaks will cause
poor preseparation in the cyclone.
- Check drum for any leaks.
- Make sure drum lid forms a good air tight seal with the drum.
- Check flex hose connection. Make sure hose clamps are tight. Seal with silicone.
- Make sure dust bin has not over filled. Dust bin should be emptied before the dust reaches
top of the container.
- Make sure clamp around cyclone is tight and sealed with silicone.
- If there is not enough air entering system, open more blast gates.
- Minimum 4 diameter pick up at tool location. Less than 4 will restrict air flow into collector and
will increase filter maintenance.
O.A.S. 2008
c
5 - 7.5 HP Direct Drive Owners Manual

Improper motor rotation - Running backwards wi reduce suction by 30%.
Excessive vibration
Caused By
Loose mounting bolts, set screws, bearings or couplings.
Bent shaft due to mishandling or material impact.
Accumulation of foreign material on the fan wheel.
Excessive system pressure or restriction of airflow due to closed blast gates.
Inadequate support structure.

XI. Fire Hazards -

Fire or explosion may occur!
Never collect sparks from a bench grinder into a wood dust collector.
Never introduce sparks or sources of ignition into the dust collector.
Personnel should keep at least 20 feet away from unit.
Check dust bin frequently and before leaving the shop for smoldering material.
Keep portable Fire Extinguishers handy.
The ABC type (dry chemical) is generally a good choice for small wood shops.
Additional information on portable extinguishers can be found in NFPA 10 (Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers).
Be especially careful with sanding units. They can produce concentrations of dust in the combustible range. Make
certain enough air volume is at the suction point to capture all the particulate generated.
This high air volume will dilute the mixture below the lower limit of flammability. Be careful not to generate sparks into
the sanding dust.
Empty dust bin and clean filter often, especially when sanding.
Dont overload woodworking equipment, especially sanders. Excessive frictional heat can spontaneously ignite dust.
Sparks can be generated in several ways
High-speed sanders and abrasive planers may strike foreign material
Saws and edgers may strike foreign material and create a red hot metal fragment.
Knots in hardwood can create frictional sparks.
Tramp metal when drawn into the collector can spark against ductwork.
Check wood stock for old nails and screws which can create red hot metal fragments.
Avoid using excessively large wood waste storage bins.
Always check storage bins for smoldering material before leaving for the day.
Electrically ground all equipment and ducting. Static sparks can ignite wood dust. (Avoid using PVC drainpipe)
Dont allow accumulation of layers of fine dust on horizontal surfaces. (Especially overhead lights, electrical boxes,
and fuse panels which can ignite dust)
Oneida Collectors are designed for WOOD DUST only!!
Wood shaping and cutting processes generate wood chips, shavings, and dust. These materials are considered
combustible. Air borne wood dust below 420 microns in size (.017 of an inch) in certain concentration ranges when
ignited can deflagrate (burn quickly).
An ignition source such as a spark, or ember, can ignite a dust mixture resulting in an expanding flame front, which
can cause an explosion if tightly contained. A disturbance that raises a cloud of accumulated fine dust can raise additional
dust clouds, which can cause a series of explosions that can level an entire building. Until this type f fire has been
witnessed, it is difficult t believe the devastati n. This type f fire is rare but w rth safeguarding against.
The best way to avoid a wood shop fire is to keep the shop clean. A shop ankle deep in dust with layers of fine dust
everywhere is an accident waiting to happen. A good dust collection system reduces overall fire hazards but also adds
new concerns. A fire hazard is still present. Combustible material is now in the dust collector and storage container.
It is the buyers responsibility to follow all applicable federal, state, local, OSHA, NFPA, or authorities having
jurisdiction codes and regulations when installing and operating this dust collector.
Fire Marshalls may want the unit located outside of the building. If the collector is located inside the facility,
controls such as spark detection, suppression, or explosion venting may be required.
Most local jurisdictions consult or adopt NFPA ( National Fire Protection Agency) codes. However, other codes
may apply. Local codes may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
NFPA 664 Code book, Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and Woodworking
Facilities, applies to woodworking operations that occupy areas of more than 5,000 sq. ft. or to areas where
dust producing equipment requires an aggregate dust collection flow rate of more than 1500 cfm (Cubic Feet
per Minute). This exempts some small operators from the NFPA code 664, but other codes may apply in your
jurisdiction. Consult your local Fire Marshall for help. Additional information can be found in NFPA Code Book
664.
