Operation of the filtering cartridges

1.  Electropneumatic device
2.  Filter cartridges
3.  Timer

The filtering cartridges (2) serve the purpose of filtering the intake air. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a fully automatic electro-pneumatic device (1) to alternately clean the filtering cartridges (2), which guarantees continuous service. Powered with a 24V rating, is complete with cyclic timer (3) to regulate the following times:
T3= time between one cleaning cycle and the next, set on 0 seconds;
T2= time between one cleaning operation of the cartridge (2) and the next, set on 20 seconds;
T1= opening time of the solenoid valve for backwashed air exhaust into the cartridge, set at 2 ÷ 3 tenths of a second. The shorter the time, the more energetic the cleaning action will be. Check the arrows on the knobs of the timer (3) for the exact regulation.

Factory setting should not be changed if without consulting Blastrac.
The three solenoid valves of the electropneumatic device control the cleaning of the relative filter cartridges.
