II. SYSTEM DESIGN
WARNING!
The M2500M Mobile is not designed to collect wet or
oily particulate and should not be installed in
applications collecting coolants, grease, processing
fluids or other types of liquid aerosols. Contact the
Trion Sales Department for special units for these
type installations at 800-884-0002.
The M2500M Mobile Air Cleaner is designed to pick up
and collect dry solid particulate such as weld fumes and
industrial dust. Clean air is then discharged back into
the work space. The unit is equipped with casters, a
source capture arm, a filtration compartment and a
blower compartment. Simply roll the unit to a level
location near the source of pollutants, adjust the arm and
place the casters in the locked position. Then connect
the electrical power and the unit is ready for operation.
In operation, the pick-up arm delivers the contaminated
air to the cartridge filter for collection. Addressed in
detail under filter maintenance, page 4.
III. INSTALLATION
1. UNPACK AND INSPECT
Upon receipt, all shipping containers and their contents
should be examined for damage. NOTE: Any damage
occurring in shipment must be immediately reported to
the carrier, an inspection report completed and a claim
filed with the carrier at the receiving point.
The M2500 Mobile cabinet is shipped assembled.
Please check to ensure all components are included:
• Painted steel cabinet with pre-filter, casters,
and power cord
• Minihelic gauge
• Source capture arm, hood and mounting
hardware (shipped loose)
• A primary filter should be supplied as a
separate item
2. INSTALLING SOURCE CAPTURE ARM
To simplify packaging and reduce the possibility of
shipping damage, the source capture arm is shipped
separately. The necessary mounting hardware is
included with the arm. Using washers and bolts
provided, secure the arm to the cabinet. Weld nuts are
provided in the cabinet for mounting the arm. The
tension is adjustable at each arm elbow (five places).
The hood tension adjustment is located outside the
hood.
3. POSITIONING THE UNIT
Roll the unit to a level floor space in the area in which it
is to be used. When the unit has been properly
positioned, lock the two swivel casters to prevent
movement during operation.
WARNING!
Do not install this equipment in any area where
combustible vapors or gases exist. Do not use this
equipment for the collection of any materials where
there is a risk of fire or explosion.
4. INSTALLATION FIRE HAZARDS
• Due to potential fire hazards, do not mix
combustible materials with those that would be a
potential source of ignition. Examples of
combustible materials include but are not limited
to: wood dust, paper dust, lint from fabrics or
buffing wheels, grinding dust from painted
surfaces and aluminum or magnesium dusts.
Examples of potential ignition sources include
but are not limited to: grinding dust from ferrous
metals or sparks from any source.

• Equipment location, installation and operation
instructed to keep any burning objects, such as
cigarettes, safely away from air inlets leading to
the equipment.
• All those involved with the use of this equipment
should comply with the statements pertaining to
worker safety as noted in this manual.
WARNING!
Electric shock personal injury or death.
IV. ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS
The blower motor is 1 HP requiring a 120 volt, 60 Hz,
1 ph (9.4 amp) source of power. The unit is supplied
with a 10’ (4.7 m) power cord.
V. OPERATION
Plug the power cord into a 120 volt, 60 Hz outlet. Turn
the selector switch to low, medium or high position.
WARNING!
Do not remove the third prong on the power cord.
This unit (as with most electrical appliances) must
be grounded for safe operation.
VI. MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Sharp edges may be located on metal. Wear
protective gloves when handling.
1. FILTER MAINTENANCE
The collecting components consist of a pre-filter and a
main filter. They are accessible through the access
panel on the top of the cabinet, allowing simple, fast
replacement.
NOTE:
Depending on the contaminant collected, it may be
advisable to wear a dust respirator when handling
dirty filters.
Filters are replaced according to the reading on the
pressure gauge. A pressure gage is mounted on the
blower panel at the discharge end of the cabinet. The
initial reading when the unit is new is dependent on the
particular main filter used in the unit.
Note the gage reading at initial start-up. As
contaminants collect on the filters, the pressure reading
will increase until the pick-up or capture zone becomes
ineffective. The “final pressure” is reached when the
pressure reading increases to 1.0” above the initial
start-up reading. At that time the pre-filter should be
replaced. Again, note the pressure reading with the new
pre-filter. The pressure reading should return to near the
initial pressure reading. When replacing the pre-filter
causes the pressure reading to decrease only small
amount (less than 0.1”), allow the unit to operate until
the “final pressure” is reached (initial reading + 1.0”). At
that time, replace both the pre-filter and the main filter.
NOTE:
The unit can continue to run beyond the “final
pressure” reading; however, airflow will be reduced
further.
2. CLEANING AND INSPECTION OF CABINET
After the dirty components have been removed, an
inspection of the cabinet should be made. Remove all
foreign debris and dirt accumulation inside the cabinet.
Check for dirt accumulation on the blower wheel blades
and clean if there is a buildup. Inspect all wiring for
loose connections and cracked insulation.
The bearings of both blower and blower motor should be
checked for signs of unusual wear.
WARNING!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Before cleaning or servicing this unit it is
recommended that this unit be disconnected from
any electrical supply outlet. Failure to follow these
precautions could result in electrical shock, fire,
death or serious personal injury.
