Page 11 Plenum: an enclosed chamber where a treated substance collects for distribution, as heated or conditioned air through a ventilation system. Pulse Cleaning System: In RoboVent’s Spire Dust Collectors, dust and fume enters from the side or back of the unit and flows from outside to inside the cartridge filters.
Page 12 This allows the dust collector to maintain a consistent airflow throughout the life of the cartridge filters while also saving energy by eliminating the need to run a collector at full speed with little to no filter resistance. ROBOVENT • SPIRE SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL...

Page 16 (see Figure 9). 12. A15 PleatLock Filters (Standard, alternate medias are available) The A15 PleatLock filter media 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 15 efficiency rating.
Page 17 The effectiveness of this suppression system is greatly enhanced with the safe sensor smoke detection that is standard on all RoboVent Spire collectors. Once smoke is detected, the unit goes into an emergency alarm state, immediately shutting off the blower and activating the motorized dampers to a closed position.

Page 20 Receiving & Inspection Receiving RoboVent equipment is typically shipped on skids or direct loaded. The number of skids will vary, depending the type, size and accessories ordered. The skids or direct loaded equipment are too heavy to lift by hand. The items will need to be unloaded by an industrial forklift, crane, or overhead crane.

Page 32 SECTION 700 System Balancing (Model MLS-01-5500-10 ONLY) Before fully releasing your new RoboVent into production, RoboVent recommends a system balance. Balancing is recommended to ensure the designed velocity and airflow is being pulled from each drop on the system. The following process is a high-level view of how to balance an industrial ventilation experts.

Page 54 6. Cartridge filters are loaded. Check the Controller reading. Any reading of 6” Water Column (Collector loading level maximums can vary depending on application, contact Robovent for specifics on your unit if in doubt) or greater signals that the cartridge filters could be loaded. Initiate a manual cleaning cycle (see “Operating your Spire Collector Using the Control Pad”) before replacing cartridges.
Page 55 This will cause the cartridge filters to load up prematurely. In this situation the best solution is to remove most of the oil from the steel before it is processed. Call the RoboVent Service Department at 1-888-762-6836 for more information.
