ROBOVENT • VISTA360 SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL 7
SECTION 200
Features of the RoboVent Vista360 Collector
1. Filtration System
RoboVent Vista360 cartridge collectors are designed
for a down-flow air pattern, from the intake into
the vertical cartridge filters as shown in Figure 1,
maximizing airflow near the top of the cartridge
plenum. This design helps overcome re-entrainment
of the dust back onto the filter cartridge after it
has been removed by the Dynamic Pulse Filter
Cleaning System. Air is brought in through the
intake (1) or through the optional, integrated Delta3
spark arrestor (2) The air is then evenly distributed
throughout the cartridge plenum (3). Formed dust
cakes are pulsed off the high efficiency media and
captured into the particulate containment below
(4). After passing through the Endurex Cartridge
Filters, clean air is then returned to the plant past
the blower wheel and motor (6) and through the
exhaust vents (7). Collected dust can be removed
through the vacuum connection clean out ports (5).
2. High Performance Blower Design
Each RoboVent Vista360 Collector comes with
a high output airfoil blower and direct drive
motor. This highly efficient blower design and
direct drive system maximizes the airflow (CFM)
delivered by the motor power requirements.
3. Pulse Cleaning Cones and Nozzles
RoboVent Vista360 Collectors utilize a special
cleaning cone and vertical pipe combination which
optimizes the cleaning pulse by ensuring that
the developed overpressure in the filter is even
throughout the filter elements. (see Figure 2).

4. Control Panel
The built-in Control Panel of the RoboVent
Vista360 contains all the electrical control
devices, including the motor starter with thermal
overload relay, on/off selector switch and service
disconnect switch. Extra space is available for the
optional E-Drive VFD and for integration of the
environmentally-friendly Fire Suppression System,
Supprex-200. (see Figure 3).
5. eTell Intelligent Controls
eTell, a cloud-based control system, provides
you access and control via an App on your
smartphone or tablet. It allows control of all
aspects of the collector's function including the
blower, filter differential pressure and Dynamic
Pulse system. It provides constant monitoring with
in-plant systems, tracks and predicts maintenance
and includes diagnostic features. (see Figure 4).
6. Sturdy 11 GA Reinforced
Collector Housing Construction
This heavy-duty construction secures a lifetime of
industrial use. Seams are robotic welded and sealed
to assure there are no leaks or cracks that could
contaminate the facility air system. Each unit is pre-
tested for air leaks during construction and again
before installation.
7. Dust Containment - Vacuum Port
To empty the dust out of the Vista360 collectors,
first remove the black rubber stoppers underneath
the filter door (Figure 5), have a vacuum available.
Place vacuum hose up to hole and empty the dust
from the containment area.
8. SnapLock Front Load System
RoboVent’s SnapLock Front Load System uses a
specially designed clamping mechanism and a
spring-loaded top mount that locks the cartridge
filters in place with the two hand operated levers.
RoboVent’s SnapLock System allows filters to be
loaded and unloaded in the fraction of time of
conventional systems. (See Figure 6)

ROBOVENT • VISTA360 SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL 9
SECTION 200
Features of the RoboVent Vista360 Collector
9. Acoustic Motor Plenum
High-density sound materials and Bass Trap
Acoustics have been implemented as part of the
blower compartment. The acoustically designed
plenum greatly reduces motor and blower noise
levels and decreases ambient noise into the facility.
10. Front Door Filter Access
Cartridge filters are easily accessible through
an oversized front door. Filter replacement is
made easy and requires less time and effort than
traditional side loading systems. (see Figure 7).
11. SafeSensor Particulate Monitoring Device
The SafeSensor particulate monitoring device
detects a leak past your filters. If a leak occurs, the
system shuts the equipment down and sets off an
alarm. The SafeSensor also monitors smoke, and
in case of a fire, will automatically shut down the
motor, blower and all electrical controls. It will also
change the andon light to red and sound a high
intensity audible alarm. (see Figure 8).
12. Endurex A13 Filters (option)
The Endurex A13 is RoboVent’s high quality
cellulose/polyester blend that provides superior
filtration efficiency and long life in welding
applications. Every filter is fire retardant and uses
Nanofiber technology to achieve a MERV 13
efficiency rating. Endurex A13 filters are highly-
efficient for particulate down to 0.1 micron in size.
13. E-Drive Auto VFD (option)
The E-Drive system uses a sensor that constantly
monitors the airflow. Using a VFD, it automatically
adjusts the RPM of the motor to compensate for
filter loading. This reduces energy peaks, resulting
in 20%-30% energy savings, and extending filter
life. The eDrive is key for a system that is quieter,
can operate at maximum operating efficiency and
saves you money. (see Figure 9).

SECTION 200
Features of the RoboVent Vista360 Collector
13. AutoSaver Auto On/Off (option)
The AutoSaver feature (if equipped) allows your
RoboVent Vista360 air filtration system to rest
when not needed, saving energy dollars. The
AutoSaver turns the system on when cutting,
welding, or process operations start and turns it off
after the specified duration of being idle.
14. Supprex-200 Fire Suppression System (option)
The Supprex-200 Fire Suppression System is
engineered to our exacting high standards for
safety and effectiveness. Supprex is a dual stage
system activated by smoke and heat. If heat is
detected, FM-200 gas is released to extinguish
the fire. With the Supprex-200 System there is
little or minimal clean-up after a fire, should one
occur. (see Figure 10).
FIGURE 10

ROBOVENT • VISTA360 SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL 11
Receiving
RoboVent Equipment is typically shipped on skids or in crates. The number of skids/
crates will vary, depending on the type, size and accessories ordered. These skids/crates
are too heavy to lift by hand, and will need to be unloaded by an industrial fork-truck or
similar equipment.
Inspection
A visual inspection of your equipment should be performed before it is removed from
the truck. Dents, scratches, and other damages should be noted on the shipping
documents, and also photographed. The structural integrity of the housing can be
adversely affected by large dents. RoboVent should be immediately 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 with your RoboVent Representative.
The carrier is responsible for any damage to the equipment while it is in transit unless
specific arrangements are made otherwise.
Compare the number of items received against the carrier’s bill of lading. Inspect all
items for apparent damage. Immediately report any shortages or obvious damage to the
carrier and to your local RoboVent Representative, call the factory at 1-(888)-762-6836,
or email: [e-mail].
When all skids are completely unpacked and uncrated, check all items received against the
packing lists. Further inspect the unit and components for hidden damage. Again, report
any shortage or damage to the carrier and to your local RoboVent Representative.
The filter cartridges are typically shipped installed in your collector. Be sure to check them
for alignment, as they may have shifted during transit. If they have shifted, it is possible that
damage may have been done. Remove all filter cartridges and inspect thoroughly.
Note: Do not return any damaged components without first contacting your RoboVent
Representative to obtain a Returned Goods Authorization (RGA).
Small Parts
Carefully inspect all packing material before it is discarded, to be sure that no small parts
have been missed.

SECTION 400
General Description: RoboVent Vista360
FIGURE 11
RoboVent Vista360 Collectors are compact, self-
contained units specifically designed for industrial
dust collection systems. Every feature has been
engineered for optimal performance in a high
demand environment. Each self contained unit comes
outfitted with an internal high-efficiency blower and a
built-in electrical system. See Figure 11.
General Operation
Smoke, dust and sparks first enter the collector via
the intake plenum where dust laden air is then drawn
through the Premium efficiency Endurex Filters and
returned into the facility as clean air.
Particulate and by-product contamination is
immediately stopped in its tracks by the Endurex
media where it is retained until pulsed off by the
Dynamic Pulse Filter Cleaning System. This reverse
pulsing system uses a sophisticated electronic
controller to send synchronized high pressure pulses
into the core of each cartridge filter. Stubborn dust
cakes are dislodged from the filter media to fall into
the containment area where it is stored for removal.
Clean, totally filtered air travels downward through a
path of high and low frequency sound traps where
motor and blower noise is reduced up to 70%. This
makes the RoboVent Vista360 the industry’s safest and
most environmentally-friendly dust collector.

ROBOVENT • VISTA360 SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL 13
FIGURE 12
1. Verify all components are at hand, as per Figure 12.
2. Place the collector in the correct location where it
will be installed.
3. Hang threaded rod from the ceiling
(recommended 3/4") in the 6 areas you will be
hanging the equipment from (match-up bolt hole
pattern on mounting frame).
4. Hang mounting frame (as shown in Figure 13)
from the threaded rod and ensure it is level.
5. Mount the Vista360 unit to the frame lifting it with
a fork truck by the pallet that it is mounted to.
6. If ductwork is to be installed on exhaust air, install
square to round on end panel, and then connect
the rest of the duct as shown in Figure 14.
7. Connect compressed air to the top of cabinet
using the supplied air regulator regulate the air to
85 psi (Figure 15).

Operation
Before operating your RoboVent Vista360 Dust
Collector, double check the following items:
1. Be sure all electrical connections are secure and
wired properly.
2. Double check blower rotation.
IMPORTANT! Blower rotation of the unit is
checked by jogging the motor. Rotation can be
checked by either removing the blower access
panel or by using a flashlight to look down into
the motor cooling fan. Blower rotation should be
COUNTERCLOCKWISE when viewed from above
the unit, also indicated by the rotation decal on
the outside of the units’ motor compartment. The
blower will still draw air if the motor is running
backward but the air draw will only be a fraction
of what it should be! See Figure 17. A visual
inspection will verify that the motor is turning
clockwise when viewed from above the unit..
3. Check the compressed air connection.
RoboVent Vista360 collectors come complete with full electrical controls and automatic
pulsing system. The entire contents of the control systems are installed inside the electrical
enclosure.
The Electrical Control Panel inside the equipment cabinet contains the Service Disconnect,
Motor Starters and Controller. With the Service Disconnect in the “ON” position press the
“SYSTEM START” button on the touch screen (this may either be remote, or mounted on the
unit) to energize the control system, then continue through the “MAN FAN” and “LIGHTS”
and/or “START MODE” screens (if these options are applicable) to the “BLOWER CONTROL” to
engage the Motor Starters and start the system blower.
AutoSaver
If your system is equipped with the AutoSaver Feature, a “START MODE SELECTOR” screen
will appear during the above process. Touch the selector switch image to toggle between
HAND and AUTO. In the “AUTO” mode, the blower is cycled automatically when triggered
by welder operation and automatically turns the unit off after approximately 3 minutes
of inactivity. To adjust this duration, refer to “Appendix A - eTell Instructions”, System
Settings, Remote Start Adjust. The “HAND” position overrides this function and the blower
operates continuously.

simply use the blower start button and the Robovent
will switch to manual mode and the blower will
operate continuously. Refer to “Appendix A - eTell
Instructions”.

ROBOVENT • VISTA360 SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL 17
SECTION 600
Operation
eTell Automatic Pulse Controller
Vista360 Collectors come equipped with the eTell Intelligent Controls, which includes
automatic control of all pulse cleaning functions. The Controller constantly measures the
pressure across the filter surface and provides a display in kilopascals (kPa). This Pressure
Differential value shows the pressure drop across the filters, helping to gauge filter life. Once
the pressure across the filter has risen by a pre-set factor, the Dynamic Pulse Filter Cleaning
System will begin to operate. (see APPENDIX A).
On-Line Cleaning vs Off-Line Cleaning
The On-Line Cleaning Cycle pulses the equipment while it is running by a pre-set time
programmed into the controller. (see APPENDIX A). The on-line default setting is 90
seconds. Once the differential pressure between the clean and dirty sides of the filters has
reached a pre-determined pressure, a signal will be sent to one of the pressure valves and
compressed air will back-flush that line of cartridges. This helps keep the dust loose so that
the off-line cleaning can remove the dust from the filter.
Off-line cleaning happens automatically every time the system is shut down. This is the
most effective means of removing the dust from the filters. The duration and frequency of
this cleaning cycle is programmed into the controller. (see APPENDIX A).
Andon Light
The andon light is located on the control panel door of the Vista360 collector. The andon
light displays the following:
1. Solid Green – Motor is running
2. Flashing Green – Machine is on but motor is NOT running
3. Flashing Orange – Maintenance Alert on the ePad
4. Flashing Red with Audible Alarm – SafeSensor Tripped meaning either a fire or
Particulate blow-by in the collector; or Estop is tripped.
IMPORTANT!
The off-line cleaning cycle is extremely important for extended filter life! Therefore,
it is important that power to the eTell Controller is not disconnected via the main
disconnect switch on the control panel. The unit should be powered on via the eTell
touch screen. Turn off the main disconnect only when servicing the unit.
A record of this pressure differential should be recorded periodically and kept for future
reference. During use of your RoboVent Vista360 Series Collector the differential pressure
will increase as the filters load up. (Cartridge filters should be replaced when the gauge
reads approximately 2.7 kPa. to 3.4 kPa.) To change cartridges follow the procedure for
“Cartridge Filter Maintenance”.
Note: 1 kPa is equivalent to approximately 4 inches of water gauge.

18 ROBOVENT • VISTA360 SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL
SECTION 700
Maintenance
Safety
Changing or emptying the drum, performing monthly service, or changing filters
requires PPE to minimize exposure to metal dust. At a minimum, wear disposable
coveralls with hood, non-porous gloves, P100 mask and safety goggles when performing
these procedures. Consult your company’s policies to develop MSDS and PPE related
documentation and procedures.
Dust collected by your machine may be hazardous. Toxicity testing must be performed
by your local waste service provider and dust disposed of according to local disposal and
workplace safety regulations.
A ladder or lift is required to access the machine disconnect and Delta3 spark arrestor
during service. Use height access safety equipment and follow all safety regulations.
Cutting stainless steel creates a hexavalent chromium (hex
chrome) dust which is a carcinogen (causes cancer). Special
care including wearing a respirator and wearing a Tyvek suit is
necessary when performing maintenance like changing filters,
emptying barrels, etc. See Appendix D: OSHA's Hexavalent
Chromium Standards for further information.

ROBOVENT • VISTA360 SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL 19
SECTION 700
Maintenance (continued)
Standard Maintenance Procedure
Note: To be performed with the blower ON while there are no operations occurring.
1. Record ∆P/Static pressure reading from the controller while the unit is operating
2. Turn off the system (Blower motor only!)
3. Clean the entire inlet plenum including the Delta3 Intake (if collector has optional
Delta3 installed). Make sure to brush or blow down the inside of the Delta3 to ensure
there is no build-up of particulate accumulating on the sidewalls or lips.
Note: Dry dust and particulate can usually be vacuumed out; however, if it is high in
oil content, it will tend to smear. If smearing occurs then a commercial degreaser can
be used to assist in cleaning. The cleaning does not have to return the system to new
condition, but should be void of pockets of particulate.
4. Set the controller to Maintenance/Pulse mode for filter cleaning. Filters will be
continuously pulsed to discharge captured particulate.
Note: The amount of cleaning is directly proportional to the time devoted. A minimum
of 1⁄2 hour is necessary. There is no maximum time limit.
5. Set the controller to Automatic to stop the pulsing (DO NOT start the motor.)
6. Empty the dust containment by hooking a vacuum hose to each vacuum port under
the filter door.
7. Turn on the collector and record the new ∆P/Static Pressure.
8. Open the petcock valve on the compressed air filter regulator and verify that there is no
moisture in the compressed air stream.
9. Check for excessive motor/blower vibration.
10. Check overall system for any loose bolts or screws, and also door latches, hinge wear.
11. Verify that compressed air pressure is set to 85 PSI
12. Clean off any dirt or smudges on the exterior of the machine.
13. Clean up any fallen debris from the system service.
14. For welding, metal cutting or grinding operations, observe the process when possible
and determine if sparks are getting near the inlet.
15. Check and inspect Fire Suppression System (if applicable)
16. Replace Smoke Detector (every 4-5 years)
Notes:
- Any single spark has the potential to cause a fire. Observation is always the best way to
determine if potential exists or if something has changed.
- If welding parameters change, (i.e. weld wire size, shielding gas mixture, new parts or
supplier) then we should verify spark containment away from the inlets.

20 ROBOVENT • VISTA360 SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL
SECTION 700
Maintenance (continued)
Note: To be performed while there is no operations occurring
1. Record ∆P/Static pressure reading from the controller while the unit is operating
2. Turn off the system (Blower motor only!)
3. Turn off the main power disconnect.
4. Open the dust collector filter door.
5. Empty the Dust Containment with vacuum.
6. Remove the Endurex (pleated media) Cartridge Filters.
7. Access the filter cabinet to clean the unit. The goal is to remove all pockets of built up
particulate.
Note: Regular monitoring of the particulate containment is necessary to verify that it is
not overflowing.
8. Install the new filters purchased from RoboVent into the collector.
9. Close and secure the filter door.
10. Turn on the main power disconnect.
Note: Anytime that the filter access door is open, the main power disconnect should
be turned off. This is to prevent accidental solenoid firing of the compressed air through
the cleaning mechanism.
11. Turn on the collector and record the new ∆P/Static Pressure.
12. Open the petcock valve on the solenoid accumulator and verify that there is not
moisture in the compressed air stream.
Note: Any oil visible in the accumulator will be blown into the system and onto the
filters causing premature filter failure. Water, though not preferred is less damaging and
will evaporate over time. A lot of water may necessitate shutdown of the collector so as
to not damage the paper filter pleats.
13. Check for excessive motor/blower vibration.
14. Check overall system for any loose bolts or screws, include door latches and hinge wear.
15. Verify that compressed air pressure is set to 85 PSI
16. Clean off any dirt or smudges on the exterior of the machine.
17. Clean up any fallen debris from the system service.
18. For welding or metal cutting or grinding operations, observe the process when possible
and determine if sparks are getting near the inlet.
