Stationary Model. No special foundation is required. A level concrete floor or pad is recommended, although any other substantial floor is satisfactory. The Industravac base should be placed on rubber isomode pads furnished with the unit.
In selecting an installation site for a stationary Industravac model, be sure the unit is readily accessible for servicing by allowing several feet of clearance around the machine. The exhaust should discharge outdoors or into a room having ample volume and sufficient ventilation to allow air toescape. Avoid placing the Industravac unit in an enclosed room where a substantial heat buildup might occur. The ambient temper- ature should not exceed 104°F (40°C).
Unpacking
1.Uncrate the Industravac unit, saving all literature, boxes and parts.
NOTE: The D Series Industravac is shipped on two skids: the frame with vacuum producer on one skid, and the separator horizontally mounted on the other skid. To assemble the two units, attach the rubber inlet sleeve to the vacuum producer inlet; lift the separator at the lifting points, position it on the frame and align the rubber sleeve and bolt holes. Secure with bolts provided.
2.Remove packing materials, plugs, etc.
3.Use the packing slip to check off and confirm the pres- ence of all ordered components.
4.Lower the dirt can by raising the bail arm in front of the separator and look inside for parts and optional accessories (e.g., equalizing line, dirt can bags, motor starter, hose, tools) which are often shipped loose in this location.
5.Read all instructional and warning labels on the machine before operation.
Industravac Setup
1.Vacuum producer. The upblast exhaust tubing on A, B and D Series units will accept, if required, an air gate (throt- tling valve), discharge silencer, tubing connection and weather cap. The C Series has a bottom exhaust with silencer, Patent No. 4,874,410, as standard equipment. (Optional adapter P/N PLT90023 can be purchased to pro- vide a 6" O.D. tube connection.) The V Series equipped with
exhaust diffuser for weather protection and a relief valve for load control. If any optional items have
been purchased for field installation, they should be mounted
on the exhaust tubing with the air gate first, followed by a flexible connector (see diagram and caution below), silencer and weather cap or tubing.
CAUTION: Tubing connected to the vacuum producer should be properly aligned and supported so there is no stress on the machine casing. The tubing must not touch the vacuum producer. Use a flexible connector to create an isolating gap of approximately 1" minimum and clamp it in place for an
2.Separator. Open the separator access door to confirm that the door gasket and filter bags are in place and secure. With the door open, operate the external bag shaker to check for proper action.

inadvertently, and check that the dirt can gasket is in place beneath the separator. Raise the dirt can, making sure it seals tightly against the gasket. Inspect both separator inlet ports to be sure they are clear.
If optional dirt can liners will be used, install one liner in the dirt can and make sure the equalizing line is in place, properly connected to the separator and dirt can.
CAUTION: The dirt can liner must not be used without the equalizing line (the liner will be sucked out of the can, up against the filter bags) and vice versa (without the liner in place, mechanical and environmental damage may result)
CAUTION: If the separator is equipped with an optional explosion relief port, it must be installed in accordance with the National Fire Code and all applicable safety regulations. The port should be positioned away from nearby personnel and ducted to the outdoors.
3. Electrical.
NOTE: All wiring and electrical adjustments or installations should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes.
The standard electrical motor furnished with the A, B and D Series Industravac vacuum producer is a NEMA design B, open drip proof induction type motor suitable for 60 Hz, 3- phase,
CAUTION: The electrical service at the installation site must supply the voltage stamped on the motor name- plate. Operation at an incorrect voltage will result in a damaged motor.
Industravac portable units are furnished with a starter and
Electrical Accessories. Certain optional accessories such as an Electronic Modulating Bleed Control and motorized filter bag shaker require 115VAC,
A grounding lug is provided for those Industravac units having optional grounded filter bags. In order to effectively bleed off static electricity charges, this lug should be securely connected to an electrical ground.
4.Motor Rotation. Perform a
A rotation direction arrow is located on the vacuum producer casing. To see if the motor is wired correctly, momentarily start the motor. "Bump" or jog the start button and observe the direction of rotation at either the end bell of the motor or the motor shaft, whichever is visible. If the rotation is incor- rect, the motor wiring must be reversed.
