    Compare the collector(s) received to the description and/or drawing of the collector(s) ordered. Immediately report any differences or missing items from the order to AAF International. Remove loose items or components before lifting the collector from the truck.
  • Page 14: Damaged Goods

    5.4 Damaged goods If there is any visible damage to the packaging or the equipment notify the carrier and AAF before proceeding further and, if appropriate, file an immediate claim with the carrier against such damage. Be aware that damage to packaging may indicate hidden damage to the product that is not immediately discernable.
  • Page 15: Storage And Protection

    All lifting operations must be made in compliance with the relevant HSE legislation. STORAGE AND PROTECTION In the event the PulsePak Prime is not placed in service within 30 days after receipt, the Panel Pak cartridges must be removed and stored in a clean, dry place to prevent possible moisture accumulation in the media.
  • Page 16: Anchoring

    Safe and efficient operation of the PulsePak Prime depends on proper installation. AAF recommends that the ductwork going into the collector be as straight as possible, with at least 5 diameters of straight run recommended. Authorities with jurisdiction should be consulted before installing the PulsePak Prime to insure local installation laws, codes, regulations and procedures are followed.
  • Page 17: Flanged Joints

    Flanged joints exist where housing modules must be bolted together and where accessories are bolted to the outer faces of the housing. In all cases, AAF will provide sufficient tubes of sealant which must be applied to one of the opposing faces just prior to the faces being brought together.
  • Page 18: Installing The Access Components

    Refer to the electrical drawings issued with the general arrangement drawing. When the AAF Control Center or Pressure Demand controller is to be used, select a location for fixing the enclosure within 15ft of the static taps located on the PulsePak Prime side panels.
  • Page 19: Installation Of The Filter Elements

    AAF provides plastic tubing for the pulse controller to be located 15ft from the static taps. A more remote position is acceptable if additional tubing is obtained. A practical limit of 30ft applies. Once the pulse controller is fixed in position, connect two parallel lines of plastic tubing to the 2 connection taps on the pulse controller and the other ends to the static taps located on the side wall of the PulsePak Prime.

    6. Once all filters in a column are installed, reinstall the mandrel support braces over the threaded rod. Tighten the retaining knob on the rods until the gasket is fully compressed against the back wall. 9.2.8 Installation of accessories When accessories, such as sprinklers, hopper discharge device(s), and airlocks, are ordered with the PulsePak Prime, separate installation instructions will be provided with the collector.
  • Page 21 To power up the DCT controller, connect power line to L1 and L2. Control Wiring must be field installed between the solenoid valves and the pulse output terminals as shown on the electrical connection diagram that is supplied with the specific PulsePak Prime collector ordered.
  • Page 22 power requirements 85-270V/50-60Hz/1Ph. operating temperature range is -40F to 140F. Continuous cleaning operations do not require external inputs and can be used for time based cleaning by placing a jumper wire across the manual override and common, or across the high limit input and common. For on-demand applications, program the DCT controller by going through each selection available, setting up each step.
  • Page 23: Compressed Air Connections

    When setting up the DCT, the “high limit” is normally set at 2.5” w.g. and the “low limit” is normally set up at 1.5” w.g. Different applications require different settings. Please contact AAF International for assistance. For troubleshooting and for further information, see the Dwyer DCT controller IOM.
  • Page 24: Explosion Vents

    The following only applies to AAF-supplied explosion vents. Additional and/or different steps, equipment, etc. may be needed for vents and other equipment not supplied by AAF. Further, the following is a non-exhaustive list of recommendations, and users must carefully read, among other things, the manufacturer’s explosion vent guide for further instructions.
  • Page 25 CAUTION: The edges of the explosion vent can be sharp. CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the explosion vent can cause the panel to not open at the rated burst pressure. Place the explosion vent over the protruding bolt holes of the frame. Make certain the dome is protruding outwards.
