VI. Assembly Instructions (Cont.)

5.Attach flex hose to bottom of collector and to lid of dust bin. Securely fasten hose clamps. There must be an air tight seal between the collector and dust bin.

6.Make sure the dust bin lid sits securely and the rubber gasket on the bin lid is in place on the barrel. Maintain an air tight seal between cyclone and dust bin to prevent motor from overloading.

IMPORTANT:

Do not operate the collector until the dust bin is in place and the connector is air tight or motor damage could result! Stay clear of fan exhaust while collector is operating.

7.Attach the ductwork from the woodworking machines to the inlet of the collector.

8.On external filter models, attach the Plenum Assembly or connect to your own plenum box.

9.Attach feet of Angle Iron Stand to floor.

Note: Assembly with Tube Filters - Note plenum height requirements of Tube Filters - 6’ tubes - 8’ plenum / 8’ tubes - 10’ plenum / 10’ tubes - 12’ plenum. Adjust system height accordingly.

A high pressure blower requires a certain amount of resistance which will prevent motor over amperage.

Make sure power source matches wire voltage configurations.

Check set screw and key in fan wheel, make sure fan wheel is secure. Fan blower should not vibrate.

1.Electrical - Failure to follow instructions and safe electrical procedures could result in serious injury or death. Disconnect all power and discharge all capacitors before servicing. Install and ground per local and national codes. Consult a licensed electrician with questions or if repairs are required.

Electrical Connections -

A.) All wiring, fusing, and grounding must comply with National Electrical Codes and local codes. B.) To determine proper rotation and voltage connections, refer to the Wire Diagram of this manual.

C.) Use the proper size of line current protection and motor controls as required by the National Electrical Code and local codes. Recommended use is 125% of full load amps as shown on the nameplate for motors with

40degrees Celsius ambient and a service factor over 1.0. Recommended use is 115% of full load amps as shown on the nameplate for all other motors. Do not use protection with larger capacities than recommended. Three phase motors must have all three phases protected.

2.Cleanliness - Keep both the interior and exterior of the motor free from dirt, water, oil, and grease.

3.Safety - Motors should be installed, protected and fused in accordance with latest issue of National Electrical Code, NEMA Standard Publication No. MG 2 and local codes. Rotating parts such as pulleys, coupling, external fans, and unusual shaft extensions should be permanently guarded. Keep hands and clothing away from moving parts. Electrical repairs should be made by trained, qualified personnel only.

4.Service - Notice - If lubrication instructions are shown on the motor nameplate, they will supercede this general instruction.

Warning: Rotating Fan Blades. Keep Objects Clear of Inlet and Outlet.

5 & 7.5 HP Direct Drive Cyclonic Dust Collectors specifications

Oneida Air Systems is a recognized leader in the field of dust collection technology, offering a range of powerful solutions for both professional woodworkers and serious DIY enthusiasts. Among their impressive lineup, the 5 HP and 7.5 HP Direct Drive Cyclonic Dust Collectors stand out for their exceptional performance and engineering.

These dust collectors are designed to efficiently capture and remove airborne dust and debris generated during woodworking and industrial processes, promoting a cleaner and safer work environment. One of the primary features of these units is their direct drive motor system. Unlike traditional belt-driven models, the direct drive technology provides a more compact design with fewer moving parts, resulting in increased reliability and reduced maintenance.

Another key characteristic of the Oneida 5 HP and 7.5 HP models is their cyclonic separation design. This innovative technology allows for the effective separation of fine dust particles from larger debris. The cyclonic action creates a vortex that forces heavier particles downward into a collection drum, preventing clogging in the filter system. This not only enhances the efficiency of the dust collection process but also extends the lifespan of the filter by significantly reducing the amount of dust that reaches it.

Both models are equipped with powerful industrial-grade motors that deliver impressive airflow capabilities. The 5 HP unit provides approximately 1,800 CFM, while the 7.5 HP model exceeds 2,700 CFM, making them ideal for handling multiple machines connected via ductwork. Furthermore, these collectors feature dynamic impeller designs that maximize suction while minimizing noise levels, making them suitable for use in a variety of workshop environments.

User-friendly features such as quick-release collection containers and integrated caster wheels for easy mobility add to the practicality of these systems. The Oneida Air Systems dust collectors also come with a range of accessories, including ducting, blast gates, and HEPA filter options, allowing users to customize their setup according to their specific needs.

In summary, Oneida Air Systems’ 5 HP and 7.5 HP Direct Drive Cyclonic Dust Collectors offer unparalleled performance, innovative technology, and user-centric design. They are engineered to meet the demands of serious woodworkers and industrial applications, ensuring a cleaner workshop and a safer working environment. With their robust construction and efficient dust collection capabilities, these models are an investment in quality that pays off in both productivity and health.
