Table 330.3.2 shows the number of solenoids and automatic timer controller outputs for the standard models. For GSX2 through GSX60 models, there are at least as many timer outputs as there are solenoids. Each timer output connects to an individual solenoid. For GSX72 through GSX120 models, there are more solenoids than timer outputs.
Figure 330.3.1. The heater can be wired to the 110V power supply for the standard Camfil APC FDC controller, but it MUST NOT be wired from the timer board. (The heater is rated @ 100 watts.) 1.
The factory supplies two 1/4” black polylines for the differential pressure connections. These lines are labeled to match the pressure taps on the collector. The polyline fittings on the bottom of the Collector Timer Control provided by Camfil APC are labeled in the same manner. Simply connect the “Dirty Air/High Pressure” and the “Clean Air/Low Pressure ports on the collector to the same ports on the Timer Control, using matching polylines.
The airline should be equipped with a manual shut-off valve, a filter/ separator, an air regulator and a pressure gauge, all located close to the unit. Camfil APC recommends that the compressed air supply be kept at a dew point of -40 F.
330.6 Sprinkler Connections If your collector is equipped with a sprinkler system, locate the sprinkler connection coupling(s). Refer to the General Dimensions drawing for locations. Figure 330.6.1 shows a side wall sprinkler head system. Figure 330.6.1 shows a single sprinkler head system. A single 1/2”...

Apply Teflon tape to the supply pipe and connect it to the sprinkler connection coupling(s). Turn on the water supply and inspect all connections for leaks. Note: Water leaks in the collector will cause cartridge failure and hopper flow problems. Figure 330.6.3 Figure 330.6.3 shows an internal sprinkler system, which is used on large collectors.
National Fire Protection 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.
that the complete system is designed and installed in accordance with the NFPA standards and recommendations. 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. •...
• 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 opera- tion.
340.7 Vent Inspection and Maintenance • Camfil APC incorporates rupture diaphragm style explosion vents on their dust collectors. Explo- sion vents should be inspected every three months. The inspection and maintenance points are outlined below.
Refer to section 700 - Replacement Parts List for replacement filter and various parts identification. Care should be taken to make sure the correct Camfil APC original equipment replacement filters are used to insure continued satisfactory performance of the unit. For genuine Camfil APC replacement parts call 800-479-6801.
360-PRECOATING OF FILTERS In applications where the dust particles are larger than 0.5 μm, pre-coating of the filters is not necessary. In applications where the dust particles are smaller than 0.5 μm, pre-coating may result extended filter life. This is because maximum efficiency of the filter is not achieved until a dust cake is formed on the media, which may take weeks without pre-coating.
For larger units (1 high x 4 wide or larger), a transition will need to be used. This can be supplied by Camfil as an option. These will typically have diffusers built into them. The transition will bolt directly from the blower or silencer to the SMF housing.
370.2 MAGNA PAC / HEPA FILTER SMF (SAFETY MONITORING FILTER) INSTALLATION Transitioning – Applies same as the Glide Pac / Riga Flo SMF. Insure all flange joints are sealed with either rope caulk or silicone. Filter Assembly: Prefilter 2” Dp: This filter should be installed in the 2” wide track on the air entering or upstream side of the housing.
380 - OVERBAG ASSEMBLY If overbags are required for your application, they should come pre-installed on your first set of filters inside your collec- tor. The following instructions apply to replacement cartridges. If your filters require precoating, do this operation before assembling your new overbags.
Variations in environment, changes in operating procedures or extrapolation of data, may cause unsatisfactory results. Since Camfil APC has no control over the conditions of service, it expressly disclaims responsibility for the results obtained or for any consequential or incidental damages of any kind incurred.
400.2 Filter Cleaning The filter 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 dia- phragm valve.
400.3 Cleaning System Components HEADER (COMPRESSED AIR PRESSURE RESERVOIR) A header is provided with a 1 in. NPT coupling at each end. Supply the header with clean, dry compressed air between 90 and 105 psi. The air supply line should be equipped with a manual shut-off valve, a filter/separator, an air regulator and a pressure gauge, all located near the unit.

400.4.4 System Overview The Camfil APC Dust Collector Controller’s flexible design allows it to be adapted to many dust collector configurations. The Core Timer Control Module will sequentially pulse up to ten outputs in “On-Demand” mode based upon the Pressure Switch closure on the Pressure Differential Meter.
400.4.5 Installing the Controls The Camfil APC Dust Collector Controller is designed to be mounted in most industrial environments. Its NEMA 4X enclo- sure also allows it to be mounted outdoors as well as in dusty environments.
400.4.7 Dust Collector Controller Operation The Camfil APC Dust Collector Controller is shipped from the factory with the default program (see details below). Power must be applied and solenoid(s) connected, in order to have a functioning system. From this point, Program Items can be tailored to the specific application.
If there are multiple alarm events, this sequence of three knob presses will step through all of the outstanding alarm events currently detected by the controller in order of occurrence. A High ∆P alarm occurs when the ∆P exceeds the “High Alarm Set Point”.
Select the "Offline Cleaning Time Delay" program item as described above. This value sets the delay from the time the "Of- fline Cln" switch is opened until the Offline Cleaning sequence begins. This time is adjustable from 60 to 600 seconds. Standby Select the "Standby"...

400.7.3 Installation Camfil APC recommends you place a disconnect near to the control panel of your dust collector for ease of service and maintenance. Connect the rotary air lock to your hopper flange with the supplied bolts in your start up kit. Ensure that you use supplied rope caulk between the flanges to prevent air or dust leaks.
400.10 Recommended Timer Settings The following settings apply to any model timer that is shipped with a Camfil APC dust collector. These settings represent a recommended starting point and the optimum operation settings may vary for your application.
Page 67
Note: these adjustments may have to be adjusted as the filters age. CAUTION: Over cleaning the cartridges will result in higher emissions, shorter cartridge life, and higher energy costs. Pulse Duration (on time) 150 milliseconds This is Camfil APC’s recommended setting. Pulse Frequency (off 15 seconds Increasing this value will decrease compressed air consumption.
The most common cause of premature bearing failure is improper lubrication. The fan motor provided with Camfil APC dust collectors may vary. Camfil APC often provides the fan with the collector, occasionaly the fan is provided by other sources. Camfil APC provided fans come in two types. One type has sealed-for-life bearings and requires no maintenance.
