The GS Integrated HEPA Filter is used down stream from a Farr Gold Series Dust Collector to provide high efficiency filtration in applications requiring air recirculation. It contains a Camfil APC XH HEPA Filter that is 99.97% efficient on 0.3 μm Particles. The filter is housed in a Farr Gold Series frame which bolts directly to the roof of your FGS Collector.
Substituting filters other than original OEM filters would violate the NFPA standards and void the performance based certification of this filter system. Reference Camfil APC’s bulletin for the iSMF for more detailed information. 310.9.3 — Differential Pressure Monitor A Magnehelic Pressure Monitor must be installed to monitor the differential pressure across the filters.
Section 320 — Attaching Duct Work to Your Farr Gold Series 320.1.1 — Inlet Duct Design (Side View) This section covers flange details and design guidelines for ducting to your Farr Gold Series dust collector. When you run ducting to your collector, it is important to follow these guidelines. 1.
320.1.2 — Inlet Duct Design (Top View) In Figure 320.1.2.1 the Recommended design shows a straight section of duct that is at least 2 duct diameters long, before entering the inlet. The air direction will cause the dust to be evenly distributed to all of the filters in the collector.
320.2 — Inlet Flanges Depending on the size and orientation of your Farr Gold Series collector, the inlet will have one or more of three inlet designs. These inlets are configured and classified with the number of modules that the collector uses to support the inlet plenum. Larger collectors may have more than one inlet plenum and vary in the size of the inlet.

Agency (NFPA) provides comprehensive guidelines for dealing with explosive dusts. Following is a list of publications that are highly recommended by Camfil APC for use in determining if the installation of your dust collection system meets all of the NFPA recommendations with regards to conveying, collecting and processing explosive dusts.
340.2 — General Explosion Vent Guidelines • It is important to note that venting does not prevent a deflagration. Venting can, however, minimize the destructive effects of a deflagration. • Refer to NFPA 654 Standard for design requirements for the complete dust collection system. •...
• Appropriate signs should be posted to provide warning as to the location of a vent. Replacement decals are available from Camfil APC and are listed in the spare parts section of this manual. • A vent closure should be inspected and properly maintained in order to ensure dependable operation.
340.8 — Vent Inspection and Maintenance • Camfil APC incorporates rupture diaphragm style explosion vents on their dust collectors. Explosion vents should be inspected every three months. The inspection and maintenance points are outlined below.
To reach the inside cartridges Camfil APC provides a telescoping extraction pole with a hook on the end. 5. Remove a new cartridge from the shipping carton, taking care not to cut or otherwise damage the filter media.

Figure 350.0.4 350.1 — Clean Seal Filter Upgrade The enhanced Gold Cone top pan features gaskets placed at the edge of the pan to prevent dust from accumulating on the top.
Section 360 — Precoating of Filters In applications where the dust concentration is high and/or the dust particles are large (more than 0.5 μm), pre-coating of the filters is not required. In applications where the dust concentration is low and/or the dust particles are small (less than 0.5 μm), pre-coating will result in a higher initial efficiency and extended filter life.
Section 370 — Glide Pack / Riga Flo SMF Installation Figure 370.3.1.1 370.1 — Transitioning: Top Mounting Arrangement If a small unit (up to 1 high × 3 wide), a transition plate and air diffuser are supplied on the air entering side of the filter housing. Typically this plate is supplied with the cutout to match the blower or silencer opening with bolts attached.
370.4.1 — Magna Pac / Hepa Filter SMF Installation: Transitioning Applies same as the Glide Pac / Riga Flo SMF. Insure all flange joints are sealed with either rope caulk or silicone. 370.4.2 — Filter Assembly: Prefilter Figure 370.4.2.1 This filter should be installed in the 2” wide track on the air entering or upstream side of the housing.
Section 380 — Overbag Assembly If your application requires cartridge overbags your initial set of filters with your collector will already have these installed. This instruction is for replacement cartridges. If your filters require precoating, do this operation before assembly your new overbags. This operation is much easier with two people performing the assembly.
Section 400 — Operation of Your Equipment Camfil APC has prepared this proprietary user’s manual for the exclusive use of its customers. The recommendations contained herein are based on proven techniques and on test data believed to be reliable. It is intended that personnel having specialized training in accordance with currently accepted practice and normal operating conditions use this manual.
400.2 — Cleaning Filters Figure 400.2.1 The Gold Cone cartridge elements are sequentially cleaned by back flushing with air. This momentary airflow reversal is induced by a short burst of compressed air. The air is released from the compressed air reservoir by a fast-acting, high-flow diaphragm valve. This “pulse” of air dislodges the accumulated dust from the filter element.

400.9 — Startup Procedure 1. Make a routine check of the fan, discharge devices, ductwork, electrical wiring, cartridges (clamped in position) and compressed air connections. 2. Make sure the collector doors are closed and latched and the slide gate is in the open position. 3.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the dust collector stabilizes at 2 to 3 in w.g. These adjustments may have to be reversed as the filters age. Recommended Settings Pulse Duration (on time) 150 milliseconds This is Camfil APC’s recommended setting. Increasing this value will decrease compressed air consumption. Decreasing this value will increase compressed air consumption.
Farr Gold Series dust collectors may vary. Camfil APC often provides the fan with the collector, but many times the fan is provided by other sources. If Camfil APC provided the fan, it will be one of two types. One type has sealed-for-life bearings and requires no maintenance. The other type motor provided with the fan has grease fittings on the top and bottom of the motor.
An inspection log should be maintained to assure that a proper maintenance routine is followed. The following page is an example of a commonly used inspection log. Copy and use this inspection log or contact Camfil APC, Customer Service Department (1-800-479-6801) for a copy.

Camfil APC valves are tested per the EU standard since it is the only test protocol for flow activated flap valves. Camfil APC valves are not ATEX certified at this time but will be in the future.
Camfil APC equipment is a part. It is the responsibility of the end user of this equipment to take the necessary precautions to minimize the inherent risks.
Installation Performance Limits Isolation valves must be installed within their tested performance limits. Following are the limits for the Camfil APC ST series Flap Valves: Specifications: Flow Capacity (cfm) Model Size: inches NFPA Compliant: Length (inches) Dust Classification: ST1 - Kst < 200 bar m/s...
An optional inlet inspection duct with access door will provide access for routine inspection of explosion of wear and build up of dust in the valve. This is available from Camfil APC or an access door isolation devices. could be installed by the ducting contractor in the pipe in front of the valve. This offers a quick See section on and easy way to provide access to the interior of the flap valve.
Flap Blade Replacement If the wear liner is worn or if there has been an explosion you will need to replace the flap Cover removed blade. If there was an explosion refer to the section on explosions and valve activation to determine if other parts are damaged.
Activation Sensor Your Camfil APC flow activated flap valve, the Stinger, may be equipped with an activation sensor. This sensor will signal if the valve has been activated due to a deflagration. It should not signal when the valve closes during system shut down. If a signal is received when the system fan is shut down then the valve latching mechanism is not working properly and should be inspected and adjusted immediately.
