Page 4: Presentation
Ceiling mounted air filtration units 3 PRESENTATION The MAXITOP ceiling installed filtration unit is a dust collector with pulse cleaned filtration that cleans the whole surface of the cartridges. The dust collector offers high efficiency while requiring low energy consumption. The cartridges are cleaned one row at a time and in sequence. The MAXITOP dust collector is largely used where airborne pollutants are a nuisance. Main applications are welding, buffing and sanding, pharmaceutical and food plants, handling of volatile particles, etc. The MAXITOP unit can be equipped with or without fume arms, pulse with timer board or differential pressure controler, etc. -

Page 10: Electrical Connection For Dct-1000 Sequencer
Ceiling mounted air filtration units 10.3 Electrical connection for DCT-1000 sequencer The MAXITOP dust collector is equipped with 115V solenoids which activate the cleaning valves. These solenoids are grouped in a NEMA 4 ½ panel installed behind the cabinet, above the air tanks. A differential control panel (DCP) may also be included on the electronic panel. Wiring for these solenoids is factory assembled. The DCT-1000 activates the solenoids in sequence in response to either cartridge pressure drop or a continuous bases. Figure 2 represents a typical connection with a starter to a DCT-1000 sequencer card. The electronic panel is activated in parallel with the fan startup. This operation will regulate the pulsation required as per the status of the filters. 10.4 DCT-1000 board specifications (figure 2) DCT-1000 controller: Number of connectors: 6, 10 & 22 Down time accuracy: ±1% of setting Weight: 1 lb, 3.0 oz (538.6 g).

Page 11: Compressed Air Connection
Ceiling mounted air filtration units 10.5 Compressed air connection WARNING! Compressed air must be free of oil and humidity. Contamination of compressed air may result in a poor cartridge filtration, decreased cleaning and reduced life time. Purge the compressed air line to remove any debris prior to connecting air line to the dust collector air tank. Shut off the compressed air system and purge all air lines prior to servicing or maintaining the collector. • Locate the pneumatic air tank behind the MAXITOP dust collector. • Connect air line to the tank using pipe seal. Check for possible leak(s). Note : the use of an air dryer is strongly recommended to avoid any problem related to humidity in the compressed air system. Install a shut off valve, pressure regulator and filter on the compressed air line. Those components are not supplied by A.Q.C. unless required by the customer. All components must meet a maximum 90 psig pressure. NEVER ALLOW MORE THAN 100 PSIG. Damages to components may occur. 10.6 Electrical connections check and initial start-up 1 . -
Page 12: Shut Down
Ceiling mounted air filtration units 12 SHUT DOWN To shut down the system, follow these steps. Stop the MAXITOP from the remote on-off switch. Shut off compressed air to unit and sequencer. Close inlet and outlet dampers in order not to have dirty air back into the collector and avoid risks of explosion. 13 SPARK PRODUCING ACTIVITIES If sparks are generated, they could cause a fire on the cartridges. Do not use the MAXITOP dust collector if sparks are generated or install a certified spark trap. Applications such as metal and wood should not be mixed on the same system. 14 MAINTENANCE WARNING! Refer to the Safety section prior to proceeding with any maintenance or inspection on the dust collector. A preventive maintenance program should dismiss most emergency shut downs and extend the expected life time of the system. The charts contained in this chapter explain the maintenance operations and procedures in case of problems with the system. The schedules and delays in between operations may be modified with conclusive experiments or with a specific use of the collector. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call an A.Q.C. Inc. representative. 14.1 Cartridge replacement The life expectancy is limited by it’s resistance to the particles to be filtered and will require periodical replacements. -
Page 13: Dust Disposal
Ceiling mounted air filtration units Follow theses steps to remove the cartridges. WARNING! The use of safety equipment and adequate protection is needed for the changing of cartridges. The dirty cartridges may be heavier than expected. Use caution when removing the cartridges to avoid injury. Do not drop the cartridges. 1 . Remove the cartridge round access door by unscrewing the knob. Ensure that you do not damage the rubber gasket seal around the access door. Start this procedure from the top row of cartridges. 2 . Slowly twist the cartridge half a turn to remove the deposit of dust that could be on top of the cartridge. 3 . Gently slide out the cartridge along the yoke. Repeat steps 3 and 4 if it is a modle with two (2) cartridges deep. 4 . Disposal of dirty cartridges must be done according to environmental regulations. 5 . Check for any excessive dust accumulation in the hopper and clean if necessary. Follow these steps to install the new cartridges. Note: older type MAXITOP dust collectors are equipped with open/open and open/closed type cartridges. More recent type MAXITOP dust collectors are equipped with open/open and open/ open type cartridges. Ensure you order the proper type of cartridges for replacement. 1 . Ensure that you have the same cartridges as originally installed in the collector. 2 . Slide the cartridges onto the yokes starting the open/open type. Check for the integrity of the cartridge seal. -
