Functional description

The dust extractor uses negative pressure (suction) to force the air through a suction cover/nozzle, hose system, pre-separator and dust separator. Coarse separation is carried out in the machine’s cyclone, providing very effective separation of any coarse dust. Fine dust is separated in the units filter. Reverse-pulse filter cleaning ensures extended filter life. The machine is fitted with a HEPA filter.
DC Tromb 400 is used for spot extraction (with maximum throttling Ø 15 mm) in many contexts e.g. when grinding, welding, personal clean-up and cleaning. The DC Tromb 400 is powered by two 1-phase, 2-stage fans. The dust extractor has the following discharge options:
c – Plastic bag: The extracted and separated material is collected in a plastic bag that can be detached in one simple operation.
The material can easily be recycled or disposed of.
a – Container: A cylindrical container for collection of separated material.
L – Longopac: The machine is equipped with a flexible bag system, in which the dust is collected in a closed system.

Operation

Connection
Connect the machine to an electrical outlet with a voltage as per the machine’s rating plate specifications. If using an extension cord, it must be water-resistant.
CAUTION
The container is held in place with fasteners, which means that a clamp must be placed on the machine’s ground braid.
This is ensured by aligning the red opposite arrow markings.
Filter cleaning
The machine has a filter status indicator that lights up when the filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. The filters must be cleaned
1-2 times a day with continuous use .

1. Keep the machine switched on and close the throttle at the cyclone inlet. Reset the filter cleaner button.
2. Wait for 5-10 pulses.
3. Switch off the machine.
4. Open the throttle at the cyclone inlet and reset the filter cleaner button.
5. Switch on the machine.
6. Check that the pressure gauge indicates green or that the filter indication lamp is off. If not, repeat the procedure. If the gauge indicates red or the light is on even after repetition, the fine filter needs to be replaced. If it, despite the filter change, still indicates red, the vacuum valve must be checked.

Emptying
a – Container
The container underneath the cyclone should be emptied when about 2/3 full.
c – Plastic bag
You must clean the filters before replacing the plastic bag. It should be replaced when the dust level is about 5 cm below the discharge flap.
Dust-free bag change The machine should be switched for the duration of the bag change. Remove the bag. The bag must be sealed as soon as it is removed from the machine. Only use Dustcontrol’s original bags.
Fit the new bag. Use the strap for dust-free work. Use the hooks for simple suspension of the bag.
Clean the filter and use the dust extractor.
L – Longopac
Close the bag using the supplied cable ties when you believe that it has been filled to a suitable level. Another cable tie is used a little further up. This forms the bottom of the next bag. The filled bag is then cut off, and the machine is ready to be used again.
Changing the bag magazine

1. Rotate the holder to the position in which it can be pulled down.
2. Insert a bag magazine into the holder and refit it.
3. Cut the four tapes that hold the bag magazine together and pull the inner end of the bag upwards over the rubber strip. Then secure the bag with the strap. Pull the outer end over the holder, and tie a cable tie in place as a bottom closure.

Service/Maintenance

Cleaning
The machine must be switched off and unplugged before cleaning and maintenance.
Filter replacement
The fine filter must be replaced at least once a year. Only OEM filters may be used. HEPA filters must be replaced after 300 hours.
WARNING
Filter replacement may only be performed by trained personnel. Use a protective mask and suitable equipment.
CAUTION
When replacing the filter, no tools/sharp objects can be used as these may damage the sealing surface of the filter.
Release and lift off the upper part for free access to the filter. Lift the filter straight up. If appropriate, fit a plastic bag over the cyclone to prevent the dust in the filter from spreading. Check the gasket when replacing the filter. A worn gasket can allow hazardous dust to escape. Never use old gaskets or non-OEM parts. Place used filters in a plastic bag and seal the bag. See instructions below. Motor
The typical service life of a fan motor’s original brushes is 600-700 hours. The brush can be replaced. The service life of the second brush set is approx. 400 hours, while that of the third set is approx. 300 hours. After this time, the motor is considered worn out and should be replaced.
Overheating
If the machine is at risk of overheating (for example, as a result of powerful throttling), the temperature guard will trip and the machine will stop. The operator must then press the power switch to the OFF position, unplug from the mains and wait 3-5 minutes for the machine to cool down. Then reset the temperature guard by pressing the RESET button. Reconnect the power cord to the electrical outlet and restart the machine by pressing the power switch to the ON position. Regular checks
Regularly check the power cord for damage.
The machine must be tested and inspected at least once a year due to its use with hazardous materials. Worn parts must be replaced. Never risk functionality and service life. Only use genuine parts.

Consumables

Warranty

The warranty period is two years and covers manufacturing defects. The warranty is valid on condition that the machine is used in the normal way and receives the required service. Normal wear and tear is not covered. Repairs must be carried out by Dustcontrol or personnnel authorized by Dustcontrol. Otherwise, the warranty is void.
