Safety Precautions: WARNING - Cutting oil in the machining process should not be used unless a fire suppression system has been installed on the machine tool by a certified fire prevention company. WARNING – Tri-Mist shall not be used in flammable environments. WARNING –...
208-230 VAC, 50/60Hz, 2 Amps, Single Phase OPTIONS 440 VAC, 50/06Hz, 1 Amp, Single Phase NOTE: Tri-Mist units are not dual voltage. See schematic on the inside of the cell access door to determine the voltage of your Tri-Mist 850 G2.
3. Mount the Tri-Mist 850 G2 as far from the chip conveyor opening as possible. 4. The Tri-Mist 850 G2 is equipped with a 21ft power cord. Make sure the power source is within 10 ft of the Tri-Mist unit and that the power source voltage is compatible with the Tri-Mist 850 G2 that was ordered.
DIRECT MOUNT TO MACHINE ENCLOSURE The Tri-Mist 850 G2 can be mounted directly to the enclosure on a machine tool. The collected mist droplets drain back into the machine tool through the air inlet of the Tri- Mist 850 G2.
2. Use a K or 9/32” drill bit to drill the mounting holes for the ¼-20 bolts used to secure the Tri-Mist 850 G2 to the machine tool. There are 14 holes in the inlet flange of the Tri-Mist 850 G2. It is recommended that a minimum of four be used to secure the Tri-Mist 850 G2.
DUCTED INSTALLATION When direct mounting the Tri-Mist 850 G2 is not possible or desired, the Tri-Mist 850 G2 can be installed with a plenum option bolted to the Tri-Mist 850 G2 inlet. This plenum has a drain and collars to connect to flex ducting.
INSTALLING THE PLENUM / STAND Tri-Mist 850 G2 with machine mount inlet plenum Typically, the plenum stand is installed at the factory. If it is to be installed in the field, attach the plenum to the inlet opening using the supplied gasket and ¼ -20 hardware.
INSTALLING THE PLENUM 1. Install the supplied covers and collars to the plenum using the supplied hex nuts. 2. Attach the plenum to the inlet opening using the supplied ¼ - 20 hardware provided. Note that the plenum can be rotated 180 degrees for the desired port location.
CEILING MOUNT WARNING For ceiling mounting, you must consider the weight of the Tri-Mist system, the ductwork and oil being collected. All ceiling support members must be sized to properly support the unit, ductwork and drain hardware. The ceiling hanging kit option provides 4 brackets and eyebolts. This allows the Tri-Mist 850 to hang from the ceiling structure.
DRAIN INSTALLATION The Tri-Mist 850 G2 plenum has a ½ inch pipe thread (female) fitting for a drain. A P- trap is required for the metal working fluids to drain properly. Prime the P-trap with the metal working fluid to avoid air being drawn through the plenum.
INSTALL HEPA FILTER OPTION 1. Install the two anchor brackets to the center of both sides of the unit. The ¼ - 20 bolts must be removed from the side panel and reused to install the brackets. Please note on the right-hand side it is best to remove and discard the center sheet metal screw so that the anchor bracket will sit flush on the side cover.
The Tri-Mist 850 is equipped with a 21-foot power cord. The 115 / 120-volt model includes a standard 15 amp rated plug. The 208–230-volt model is shipped with a 21- foot power cord with a 615-PA 2 pole plug. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TRI-MIST 850 G2 IS NOT DUAL VOLTAGE.
2. The indicator lights should be on when the impeller/blower is running. 3. The Tri-Mist 850 G2 is equipped with two test buttons to verify that the electronic filtration system is energized. Push each test button and listen for an arcing...
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not perform any service other than filter cleaning unless power to the Tri-Mist 850 G2 and the machine tool has been safely disconnected and you are qualified to do so.

Table 1: Recommended Maintenance Schedule ITEM INSTRUCTION FREQUENCY ESP Cells Clean per instructions in manual Every 500 hours Impingers Clean per instructions in manual Every 500 hours Inspect inside Tri-Mist machine, year Inner Body detergent to clean any oily residue from the Required walls.
Parts Washer Method The mist impingers and electronic cells can be cleaned with a parts washer. Make sure that the cleaning fluid used is aluminum safe and the maximum pressure does not exceed 65 psi. I would recommend an aqueous parts washer rather than a solvent based washer.
3. Rinse cell with hot water making sure that no detergent residue remains. 4. Check that the Ionizer wires are clean and smooth. 5. Replace cell back into Tri-Mist unit after allowing cell to drip dry for 20 minutes. Manually Cleaning the Electronic Cells with a Spray Bottle Important Make sure that the detergent used is safe for aluminum and that all of the detergent is rinsed off with hot water.
Electronic Cell Inspection 1. Check that all 9 ionizer wires are in place and that there is no buildup of dirt on the wires. The ionizer wires should feel smooth. If they feel rough, then there is a coating on dirt on the wires that needs to be removed either rewash the cells and wipe the wires with a cloth our use 600 grit emery paper and carefully go over the wires.
REPLACING IONIZING WIRES Broken or bent ionizer wires can cause an electrical short to ground, often resulting in visible arcing. Do not use cells until the broken wires are removed. Cells can be used with one missing wire, but replace the wires as soon as possible. Replacement wires are supplied cut to length with eyelets on both ends for easy installation.
Trouble Shooting the Tri-Mist 850 G2 & 1000 Normal Operation of Tri-Mist 850 G2 & 1000 Turn the control switch on by rotating the control knob clockwise. The impeller (fan/motor) should come on as well as the Indicator Lights that confirm that the High Voltage Power supplies that energize the electronic cells are functioning properly.
Page 28
To determine if the problem is with the High Voltage Power Supply or the Electronic Cells, remove the Electronic Cells and turn the unit on.
Page 29
If the Indicator Lights turn on, then the High Voltage Power Supplies are fine, and the problem is with Electronic Cells. Proceed to Electronic Cell inspection below. If the Indicator Light does not come on with the cells removed from the unit, then the problem is with the High Voltage Power Supply.
Page 31
Checking the Electronic Cell Visually check the cell for: 1. Broken ionizing wires 2. Bent or loose collector plates 3. Dirt accumulation on the collector plates If the cell looks clean, then use a compressed air gun to blow air through the collector plates.
