  • Page 7: Introduction

    1 Introduction 1.1 Scope This User’s Guide is intended to describe the control systems used in Lev-co fume and dust extraction systems employing Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). It does not cover the installation of the ducting, arms or hose reels, dampers or blast gates, motors, fans, filters or other equipment directly related to the extraction process.

  • Page 8: List Of Standard Models

    These are described below. 1.3 List of Standard Models Standard available models comprise the following:  Model 13-12 – Type 1 – VFD as a Contactor Replacement  Model 13-13 – Type 2 – VFD System with Constant Duct Pressure ...

  • Page 9: Model 13-12 - Type 1 - Vfd As A Contactor Replacement

    1.3.1 Model 13-12 – Type 1 – VFD as a Contactor Replacement In this architecture, the VFD operates simply as an enhanced-performance contactor replacement. The benefits are the ability to gently ramp motor speed up and down at start and stop, thereby minimizing motor stresses and extending motor life, as well as eliminating heavy startup surge currents and their attendant wasteful energy costs.

  • Page 10: Model 13-13 - Type 2 - Vfd System With Constant Duct Pressure

    1.3.2 Model 13-13 – Type 2 – VFD System with Constant Duct Pressure In this approach, the Type 1 system is extended to include a pressure sensor in the main duct down- stream of the fan, which allows the VFD to actively control motor speed as a function of duct (negative) pressure.

  • Page 11: Model 13-14 - Type 3 - Type 2 System With Controlled Electrical Dampers

    1.3.3 Model 13-14 – Type 3 – Type 2 System with Controlled Electrical Dampers This system takes the Type 2 approach a step further, making the start/stop damper interlock an inher- ent feature and providing power to electrically-operated/spring-return dampers. The first damper to open causes the fan to start;...

  • Page 12: Model 13-15 - Type 3 Vfd System With Blast Gates

    1.3.4 Model 13-15 – Type 3 VFD System with Blast Gates Blast gates may be used as an alternative to electrical dampers in some installations. The functionality is essentially identical to a standard Type 3 system except for extraction adjustability (HI/LO) at the (up to 8) workstations.

  • Page 13: Model 13-16 - Enhanced Control System For Wet Collectors

    1.3.5 Model 13-16 – Enhanced Control System for Wet Collectors This model is covered in its own User Guide. For reference, its architecture is shown below. Note that the VFD is not shown as it is usually contained within the main control panel rather than being separate- ly-mounted as in most other control systems.

  • Page 14: Model 13-74 - Type 2 System With Vibra-Pulse Cleaning

    1.3.6 Model 13-74 – Type 2 System with Vibra-Pulse Cleaning This system combines the basic Type 2 model with an additional filter cleaning facility comprising drives for two air-blast solenoids as used in the Vibra-Pulse cleaning system. Figure 6 – Type 2 System with Vibra-Pulse Cleaning System Architecture...

  • Page 15: Model 13-75 - Type 2 System With Shaker Motor Cleaning

    1.3.7 Model 13-75 – Type 2 System with Shaker Motor Cleaning This system is similar to the Vibra-Pulse system except that a shaker motor rather than air-blast sole- noids is used for filter cleaning. Figure 7 – Type 2 System with Shaker Motor Cleaning System Architecture...

  • Page 16: Models 13-76 And 13-77 - Type 2 System With Sequenced Solenoids Cleaning

    1.3.8 Models 13-76 and 13-77 – Type 2 System with Sequenced Solenoids Cleaning These systems are essentially identical except for the type of control board and solenoids supported – AC in one case and DC in the other. They provide similar functionality to the two previous systems ex- cept for the use of a series of air solenoids which are triggered in rapid-fire sequence to provide the cleaning function.

  • Page 21: Type 1

    3 Type 1 3.1 Mechanical Installation A type 1 control package comprises two units: a control panel with switch, potentiometer and indicator (and optional fused disconnect and pressure gauge) and a VFD. These may be mounted as desired, al- though care must be observed in selecting the location of the VFD. The VFD must be located within a 50m cable run from the motor for best performance and motor life.

  • Page 22: Operation

    3.4 Operation The VFD is controlled by the control panel RUN/STOP and SPEED ADJUST controls. The FAN ON indicator shows the motor status – in case of a fault it will turn off. To avoid overheating the motor due to lack of airflow, the fan should never be operated unless at least one damper is open.

  • Page 23: Type 2

    27NPT tap such as Acklands-Grainger part number WSWPT18. Screw in a 3/16” hose barb as supplied by Lev-co in the installation kit – ensure it is tight. Run the tubing back to the control cabinet, through the strain relief grommet in the base, and up to the tee connector which splits the sense line to the pressure sensor and the indicator.

  • Page 24: Electrical Installation

    4.2 Electrical Installation Power wiring must observe the requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1-15. Addition- ally, screened wiring is recommended for the connection from the VFD to the motor. See section 4 of the Invertek Optidrive ECO User Guide (or the appropriate sections for the other drive types) for de- tailed installation information.

  • Page 25: Operation

    4.5 Operation The MANUAL/OFF/AUTO switch on the control panel will turn on the fan motor in either of the MANUAL or AUTO positions. The MOTOR RUNNING light will illuminate once the motor has started. Note that the motor ramps to start and ramps to stop at the specified rate (30 seconds to or from full speed as default) and should be allowed sufficient time to achieve its final state before any other action is taken (such as a restart).

  • Page 26: Type 3

    5 Type 3 5.1 Mechanical Installation This is identical to the Type 2 installation – see section 4.1, with the exception that a Sensocon integrat- ed pressure gauge/transmitter is usually installed rather than a separate gauge and transmitter as in a Type 2.

  • Page 27: Vfd Setup

    5.4 VFD Setup VFD setup is identical to a Type 2 system – see section 4.4. 5.5 Operation Operation is essentially identical to a Type 2 system (see section 4.5), except that in AUTO mode the start/stop interlocks are now integral to the system and not optional. Note that ramp-up and ramp- down times remain.

  • Page 28: Type 3 With Blast Gates

    7 Type 2 with Sequenced Solenoid Filter Cleaning In the most general terms, the Lev-co Type 2 VFD Exhaust System with Sequenced Solenoid Filter Clean- ing is a system comprising a dust extractor as described above and a filter cleaner. The filter cleaner may be one of two types –...

  • Page 29: Mechanical Installation

    All system types are also available to be applied to Type 3 exhaust systems in an identical manner, al- though this is not documented herein. 7.1 Mechanical Installation Mechanical installation for a sequenced solenoid system is similar to that of a normal type 2 or 3 system except for the pressure tubing connection.

  • Page 30: Pressure Sensor Setup

    7.3 Pressure Sensor Setup The A1 pressure sensor has four buttons located on the face of the gauge for set-up and calibration. These are Span, Zero, Units, and Lock. The Units button changes the unit of measure – set this for inch- es wc.

  • Page 31: Operation

    7.5 Operation Operation is identical to a standard system, with the exception of the automatic filter cleaning function. For the Vibra-Pulse cleaning, this takes place automatically ten minutes after the fan stops and requires thirty seconds to complete. If either of these conditions is not satisfied, cleaning either does not start or is aborted.

  • Page 32: Type 2 Or 3 With Shaker-Type Auto Dust Collector

    8 Type 2 or 3 with Shaker-type Auto Dust Collector The general description and functionality of this system is similar to the Vibra-Pulse system described in section 7 above. However, instead of two timed solenoids, this system operates a shaker motor for a fixed (adjustable) period.

  • Page 33: Troubleshooting

    8.6 Troubleshooting This is again similar to a standard system, with the exception that the shaker motor may fail causing an overload trip. The root cause for such a failure must be determined before attempting to reset the overload. 9 Wet Cleaning – Enhanced Control System This control system is a factory- or field-installed enhancement to a standard control system for wet col- lectors, the standard for which comprises a motor starter and a mechanical float for water level control.
