system start-up Information
Before Purchasing or installing a dust collection system the process owners/operators are cautioned to do so in accordance with prescribed Federal, State, Local, OSHA, NFPA, and any other applicable codes or regulations relating to the type of dust(s) you are collecting.
This manual contains specific precautionary statements relative to worker safety. Read thoroughly and comply as directed. The most up to date safety information can be found on our website: oneida-air.com/safety
WARNING
1. READ and understand ALL instructions and warning labels BEFORE using the dust collector. 2. REPLACE warning labels if they become obscured or removed. 3. ALWAYS follow all applicable federal, state, local, OSHA, NFPA, or authorities having jurisdiction codes and regulations
when installing and operating this dust collector. 4. ENSURE that all users of this dust collector are informed of all warnings and precautions, safe use, and maintenance
procedures. 5. FULL mental alertness is required. The machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. 6. DO NOT allow use by or near children. 7. DO NOT allow it to be used as a toy. 8. NEVER leave the dust collector running while unattended. 9. TURN OFF and UNPLUG the dust collector BEFORE walking away, servicing, or cleaning. Allow the fan blower motor to
come to a COMPLETE STOP before walking away or performing any maintenance, service, cleaning, or adjustments. This eliminates the risk of injury from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components. 10. ENSURE that your dust collector is turned OFF and UNPLUGGED during installation. This eliminates the risk of injury from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components. 11. COMPLETELY INSTALL ductwork/flex hose before operating collector. a. Seal ductwork with silicone sealant or duct tape if leaks are found. b. Have dust drum in place and sealed. c. NEVER operate without filter and cowling in place. This machine has high speed rotating elements than can cause
severe injury. 12. ONLY use the dust collector for its intended purpose as described in this manual. DO NOT force it or an attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed. Consult this owner’s manual or reach out for recommended accessories. 13. ENSURE enough air volume is at the suction point to capture all the particulate generated. 14. NEVER make modifications without prior approval from Oneida Air Systems. Modifying the dust collector or using it
differently than intended will void the warranty and may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that leads to serious personal injury or death! DO NOT allow use as a toy.
2 Oneida Air Systems, Inc.

system start-up Information (Continued)
15. DO NOT locate or operate the system in moist, wet, poorly lit, or cluttered environments. Operating in these areas can create shock hazards, increase the risks of accidents and injury, and/or lower the operating lifespan of the dust collector.
16. DO NOT install in classified hazardous atmospheres without an enclosure rated for the application. System location must account for wind, seismic zone, and other load conditions. Codes may regulate acceptable locations for installing dust collectors. Consult with the appropriate authorities having jurisdiction to ensure compliance with all national and local codes regarding dust collector installation. Equipment must be anchored in a manner consistent with local code requirements. Anchors must be sufficient to support dead, live, seismic, and other anticipated loads. Consult a qualified engineer for final selection of anchorage.
17. ENSURE exhaust air is properly vented. It should NOT be vented into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space of a building. Personal injury, death, and/or property damage can result from material discharge during venting. The risk of personal injury and/or property damage can be minimized or avoided by locating vented equipment outside buildings and away from normally occupied areas. If exhaust air is vented outside, you must provide make up / return air. Flue gases (carbon monoxide) can be drawn into the shop from furnaces, water heaters, or other appliances.
18. INSPECT and MAINTAIN REGULARLY. Keep the dust collector in proper working order. A machine that isn’t properly maintained, not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water could malfunction leading to serious personal injury or death!
19. AVOID CORD DAMAGE. DO NOT pull or carry by cord. DO NOT use cord as handle. DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grab the plug, NOT the cord. DO NOT close door on cord or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. DO NOT run dust collector over cord. DO NOT handle cord/plug with wet hands. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
20. ALWAYS check for damaged parts. A part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Immediately repair or replace damaged or mis-adjusted parts before operating machine.
21. DO NOT put any object in openings. DO NOT use with any opening blocked. (Except when pulsing – See Maintenance Section for more information.)
22. ALWAYS wear a NIOSH approved respirator when emptying dust bins and during operation. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other long-term respiratory damage.
23. ALWAYS keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body AWAY from openings and moving parts. 24. ALWAYS wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery and when emptying
dust bin. 25. ALWAYS wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

system start-up Information (Continued)
Process owners/operators retain all responsibility for the suitability of fire and explosion hazard mitigation, suppression, and isolation strategies and to follow all applicable federal, state, local, OSHA, NFPA, or authorities having jurisdiction codes and regulations when installing and operating this dust collector.
Improper operation of a dust control system may contribute to conditions in the work area or facility that could result in severe personal injury and product or property damage.
Oneida Air Systems assumes no responsibility or liability for the suitability of any fire and/ or explosion mitigation strategy, or any items incorporated into a collector as part of an owner/operators hazard mitigation strategy.
FIRE HAZARDS
1. THIS UNIT IS NOT RATED FOR USE IN COMBUSTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS. 2. DO NOT operate the dust collector in areas where explosion risks are high. Areas of high risk include, but are not limited to,
areas near pilot lights, open flames, or other ignition sources. 3. ONLY operate dust collector in locations that include a fire suppression system or have a fire extinguisher available nearby.
a. The ABC type (dry chemical) is generally a good choice for small wood shops. b. Additional information on portable extinguishers can be found in NFPA 10 (Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers). 4. DO NOT allow accumulation of layers of fine dust on horizontal surfaces. Especially overhead lights, electrical boxes and fuse panels which can ignite dust. Keep the floor around the system clean and free of scrap material, oil, grease. 5. ENSURE all equipment and ductwork is electrically grounded. 6. DO NOT use PVC drain pipe. 7. ALWAYS consult an electrician or qualified service personnel about wiring practices and electrical codes in your area. ONLY allow an electrician or qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work. 8. ALWAYS disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment. Improper wiring can cause fire, electrocution, injury, or death. 9. DO NOT use to pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes. 10. DO NOT use to pick up liquids, flammable liquids, or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present. 11. DO NOT use excessively large wood waste bins. Wood dust mixtures are highly flammable and can be explosive 12. ALWAYS check your dust bin for smoldering materials before leaving the shop. 13. NEVER introduce sparks or sources of ignition into the dust collector. Sparks can be generated in several ways: a. High speed sanders, abrasive planers, saws, and edgers may strike foreign material and create a red-hot metal fragment. b. Knots in hardwood can create frictional sparks. c. Trapped metal, when drawn into the dust collection system, can spark against ductwork.
4 Oneida Air Systems, Inc.

system start-up Information (Continued)
d. Check wood stock for old nails and screws which can create red-hot metal fragments. 14. DO NOT overload woodworking equipment, especially sanders, as excessive frictional heat can spontaneously ignite dust.
Sanders can produce concentrations of dust well into the combustible range. 15. ALWAYS check that all dust collection equipment is properly selected and sized for the intended use. Authorities with
jurisdiction should be consulted before installing to verify local codes and installation procedures. In the absence of such codes, install collector according to the National Electric Code, NFPA No. 70-latest edition and NFPA 91, NFPA664 Code (NFPA 654 if combustible dust is present).

Maintenance

UNpLUG yOUR UNIT BEFORE SERvICING OR CLEANING
Cleaning the Filter
Proper filter cleaning should not be neglected as a dirty filter can significantly affect your dust collector’s performance and the overall lifespan of your filter. The following steps should be done while the filter is still attached to your system:
1. WEAR A DUST MASK AND EYE PROTECTION WHILE CLEANING THE FILTER.
2. Turn off the dust collector and wait for the system’s fan blower to come to a complete stop.
3. Use a hand-held, compressed air nozzle with a pressure between 30 to 60 PSI to blast air along the filter’s exterior pleating. Hold the air nozzle at a 20 degree angle and at least 6″ away from the filter; Closer blasts may damage the filter material. Direct air out and away from anyone in the area.
4. Wait a few minutes for the dust to settle, then remove the fine dust bin at the bottom of the filter.
5. Dispose of dust carefully and then reconnect the dust bin.
Emptying the Drum
When first using the dust collector, check the drum regularly to get an idea of how often it needs to be emptied. If the drum becomes overfilled, the dust will be sucked into the intake barrel and into the filter. How quickly the drum will fill up is based on the type of work being done at the time. For example: fine dust from a sander or table saw will slowly fill the drum while curly shavings from a planer or jointer will quickly fill the drum.

Lubricating the Motor

Per the motor’s specifications, their 2-pole motors (3,600 RPM) are to be lubricated every 5,500 hours. Refer to the Table below to determine if your motor’s lubrication interval must be adjusted. For example, a system operating in a moderately corrosive area with an ambient temperature of 109° F (43° C) would qualify as the “Severe” service condition, and should instead be lubricated every 2,750 hours.

A right angled grease coupler will be needed for this operation.
1. Motors can be greased while running or, if the the ambient temperature is less than 176 F (80 C), while stopped.h.
2. Clean the motor’s grease fitting, or if equipped with slotted grease screws, clean the area around the grease hole. If the motor has a purge plug, remove it.
3. Apply grease gun to fitting (or grease hole). Add 0.3 ounces (8.4 grams) of Mobil Polyrex grease by weight, or 0.6 cu. in. (2 teaspoons) of Mobil Polyrex grease by volume.
4. Slowly apply the recommended amount of grease, taking one minute or so to apply. Too much grease or injecting grease too quickly can cause premature bearing failure.
5. Operate the motor for 20 minutes; Reinstall purge plug if previously removed.

Caution: Keep grease clean. Mixing dissimilar grease is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

pROBLEM

CAUSE

Motor Overheating/System Tripping
(The motor’s overload will trip if the motor is overheating)

Air leaks between the dust collector and dust bin
Motor not properly wired

Poor Dust Pick-Up at Tools/ Ductwork issues System Lost Suction

Filter Clogging

Large chips clogging the filter

Fine dust clogging the filter

System Will Not Turn On

VFD may need to be reset

SOLUTION
1. The lid of the dust drum must be in place, have a foam seal, and be well seated when operating the dust collector.
2. Make sure flex hose is not torn and the hose clamps are tight. 3. Check for holes or leaks in the dust barrel.
1. Check wire connections. 2. Check fan impeller rotation. 3. Check breaker box to make sure power supply is correct for motor.
1. Check length of duct runs, duct diameters, and hood design compared to ductwork design guidance.
2. Make sure all ductwork is sealed. Large air losses will occur even through small cracks in the ductwork. Use silicone, duct tape or duct mastic compound as a sealant.
3. Check for air leaks between collector and dust drum. 4. Close all unused blast gates at your woodworking machines. 5. Check for a restricted pipe, too small a hood port, or too small a branch line. 6. Be sure that your filter is clean.
1. Check for a leak in the dust bin, flex coupling, or lid. Check for split or torn flex coupling.
2. Make sure dust bin has not over filled. Dust bin should be emptied before the dust reaches top of container.
3. Interruption of air flow, such as vacuuming chips with a flex hose connection, will increase need for additional filter maintenance.
1. Air flow to the collector may be restricted. The collector needs the equivalent of at least a 4″ diameter cross-section open to allow adequate air volume and speed for pre-separation in the cyclone stage of the collector. If you are using a woodworking machine with only one 2″diameter dust port, partially open another blast gate to compensate.
2. Check for excessive elbows at cyclone inlet. 3. Heavy sanding with a drum sander or fine grit paper will cause the pleated filter
media to blind sooner than with larger sized dust. Clean filter more often with compressed air.
1. Remove the cowling and press the reset button. 2. If there is no room to remove the cowling, unplug your system for 1 minute.

F.a.Q.
What dust can be collected?
Oneida Air Systems’ dust collectors are designed and tested for wood and wood dust. They can and have been used effectively for various other dusts and chips, such as drywall dust, paper dust, agricultural dust, metal chips and other forms of debris. The customer is, however, cautioned that some common materials when cut, ground or processed by machinery may become very dangerous: highly toxic, flammable, or deflagrable and explosive. The user must ensure that the dust collection system is used in accordance with national, state, local, NFPA, OSHA and all other applicable codes.
Can this be used for wet applications as well?
No. This system is designed for use collecting dry materials only.
What is a static dissipative material?
This term refers to the range of conductivity that a material has. Static dissipative materials range from 106-1012 Ohms.
How often should I clean the dust collector’s cartridge filter?
This can vary widely depending on how often your dust collector is used and what kind of dusts it’s exposed to; but you should typically clean it only once you’ve noticed a considerable drop in suction performance. In our experience, this can be around once per year, but with heavy amounts of sanding, it could be as often as once per month.
When should I replace this filter?
With regular maintenance, our cartridge filters can easily last up to 5 years. Your filter should only be replaced if thorough cleanings do not help to restore your suction performance.
How do I clean this filter?
Clean this filter using compressed air blown from the outside of the filter. For further instructions see the Maintenance Section.
How do I troubleshoot an air leak with my cyclone?
Even a small leak can significantly affect the overall separation performance of the cyclone. If you can’t audibly pinpoint where the leak might be coming from, one of the simplest ways to check for air leaks is with a smoke test.
Should the inlet reducer for my dust collector be crimped or straight?
The inlets on all of our dust collectors are sized to fit standard ductwork. If you need a reducer to connect to ductwork that’s smaller than your collector’s inlet, the end of the reducer that connects to the inlet will need to be crimped, so that it will fit inside the inlet..
Is this product compatible with Quick-Clamp Duct?
Yes, but you will first need to install a machine adapter into the dust collector’s inlet. These adapters are smaller on the raw end than traditional ducting so that they can slip into the ports on systems and tools (i.e. a 5″ QuickClamp Duct Machine Adapter will measure ~4.9″ O.D. on the raw end).

F.a.Q. (Continued)
Where do I mount the included Dust Sentry?
The strobe can be mounted anywhere convenient that is within reach of the wiring.
Can I lengthen the Dust Sentry’s power cord?
The 8′ power cord can be extended to any length using wire of the same gauge or higher.
Why does the Dust Sentry’s Indicator flash when the bin is empty?
Because the Dust Sentry works via an adjustable infrared sensor, it can sometimes show false positives with an empty container because of the reflective surface at the bottom of the steel drum. This issue will go away soon after the system is used. Once the bottom of the drum has sawdust on it, the Dust Sentry should no longer give a false positive. It can also be resolved by painting/coloring the inside bottom of the drum so that it is no longer reflective enough to affect the sensor..
How do I adjust the Bin Level Sensor?
Adjust the detection of the dust level of the infrared sensor by rotating the Level Set Screw. Turning it towards the plus sign (+) will lengthen the range of the sensor; turning it towards the minus sign (-) will shorten the sensor’s range. DO NOT force the level set screw.
Can the Dust Sentry be mounted outside?
No, the Dust Sentry is for indoor use only.
Is this remote IR or RF?
All of our current remote control products operate via Radio Frequency (RF).
What type of battery does the Remote (M) use?
The remote control keyfob uses an A23 type battery.
