3. PREPARING FOR OPERATION Make sure to read and understand the following warnings and cautions when preparing for the operation of the dust collector. WARNING ! Never install the dust collector at or near hazardous areas forbidden by laws and regulations.
■ Installation Precautions Please follow all precautions given below when using this dust collector. Otherwise, you will not have the full performance of the dust collector, or even may suffer from malfunctions, which could lead to causing an accident to occur. •...
(2) Connecting the Power Supply CAUTION • Connect the power cord to a 3-phase power supply following the steps given below. Make sure the specifications of the power supply to be used meet the requirements given on the identification plate affixed to the body unit. Power supplies of different specifications must not be used for this machine.
<Check on rotation direction> Operate the fan to check it the motor rotates in the proper direction. Give a push to the [ON] switch to start to fan rotation. Immediately, turn on the [OFF] switch. When the fan slows down, you can see in which direction the fan motor rotates.
(4) Connecting the Manometer (For J Type only) The evaluation of filter clogging is made on the differential pressure of the suction air between before and after-filtration. If the differential pressure is large, the filter should have got clogged. The manometer is used to measure this differential pressure.
(5) Setting for Remote-Operation In addition to the operation with switches on the control panel, a remote operation through external signals is also possible with this machine. If you desire to operate the machine from a remote location, make the following connections.
4. SETTING THE DATA Before running the machine, users should make settings for certain functions as follows from the control panel. This chapter mainly relates to settings for pulse jet operation (filter dust removal operation). Setting items should vary by the type of machines (U, M, J). See the table below. Note: Settings for remote control (at page 25) must be made before starting operation.
Item Content Function In addition to the operation with switches on the control panel, a Remote remote operation through external signals is also possible with n-06 ○ ○ ○ operation this machine. If you desire to perform remote operation, make this setting valid.
(2) Setting the pulse starting U M Clogged filter will cause a decrease in the volume of air intake. Here, the setting is made to perform automatic removal of the dust (pulse operation) from dust accumulation on the filter surface that is the cause for lowering of air intake efficiency.
(3) Setting the pulse jet operation mode U M J This setting is made to select a mode of filter dust removal operation. ① Press the DISP CHANGE key several times to locate ▲ just under “Mode”. ② The setting item “n-00” appears on the display. If not, continue pressing on keys until the target item appears.
(4) Setting “ON TIME” U M J This sets the continued operating time of automatic dust removal (pulse operation). The setting is made effective when the pulse mode, explained in the previous page, is set to “001”, “002”, or “003”. ①...
⑤ Press the SET key or leave the screen as it is for 10 seconds. The screen will return to the previous screen (with prompt “n-02” displayed). If you desire to continue updating “n-03” and the subsequent items, select the next target item number with keys.
(7) End pulse U M J This setting enables the dust removal operation to be performed at the time the dust collector stops running. Set the desired number of cycles of that operation. ① Press the DISP CHANGE key several times to locate ▲...
(8) Setting the pulse stop target differential pressure U M This setting enables automatic stop of the pulse jet operation. Enter the amount of filter differential pressure to be deducted from the pulse-jet-operation starting differential pressure value in order to effect pulse-jet-operation stop.
(9) Setting the remote operation U M J This equipment can be operated not only by switches on the control panel, but remotely by external signals. For the remote operation, the system needs to be set up accordingly. In an outdoor type model, the remote operation mode is set as default, and such setting must not be changed unless a special instruction is made by the maker.
(10) Setting the abnormal filter differential pressure U M If the filter differential pressure increases exceedingly, an error indication (Er 13) is given on the display. Specify the set point at which the error display is started. The initial value has been set to 2400 Pa. If the error indication is displayed repeatedly even after the execution of the pulse operation, it should be taken as an indication of the time for filter replacement.
(11) Other settings Do not make change in settings for the items “n-07” and the subsequent (for n-08, see the description in the previous section). A wrong setting in any of these may impede proper operation of the safety device (operational fault/error detection device). When you make a mistake in setting operation, do not press the ENTRY key, but press the SET key to change the screen back to the “DISPLAY SELECTION”...
5. OPERATION Make sure to read and understand the following warnings before operating the dust collector. WARNING ! Do not suck the following materials. ・Explosive material … Such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, epoxy, flour, toner. ・Flammable materials …… Such as gasoline, thinner, benzene, kerosene, paint. ・Dust containing sparks …...
CAUTION ! Do not suck the following materials. ・Sticky substances …………Soluble mist, oil mist, etc. ・Other materials ……………Fluid, such as water and oil. If ignored, the performance may be deteriorated. Do not operate the dust collector with the suction and exhaust ports closed or blocked. Such operation may cause an overheating, resulting in the occurrence of a fire.

(4) Dust Removal from the Filter Press the [PULSE] switch on the control panel to carry out dust removal from the filter. CAUTION • Before pressing the PULSE switch, make sure the filter inspection cover is closed. If the switch should be pressed with the door open, the dust removed off the filter by the pulse jet would scatter outwards through that opening.
CAUTION • In cases the dust collector cannot be restored to normal operation by resetting, or current interruption is often caused by the trip of thermal relay, contact Amano, or your dealer of Amano representative. • If the cause of the thermal relay trips should be attributable to any other factors than this machine, conduct an on-the-spot current/voltage investigation by the qualified electrician on your side.
6. MAINTENANCE Make sure to read and understand the following warnings and cautions before performing maintenance. DANGER ! Never operate the machine with its cover removed. This could cause serious injury. Never insert your hands into the rotary unit area. This could cause serious injury.
(1) Discharging the Collected Dust [ Standard bucket type ] At the end of every working day, the collected dust should be discharged from the dust collector inside. If this caution is not observed and an ignition source is put in the accumulation of dust, a fire can be caused to occur. The discharged dust, then, should be disposed of appropriately according to your in-company rule or the related local regulations.
