XII. Troubleshooting

Motor Overheating

The motor’s internal circuit breaker will trip if the motor is overheating.

Caused By:

Air leaks between the collector and dust bin

-The lid of the dust bin and the cyclone must be in place and sealed when operating the dust collector.

-Make sure flex hose is not torn and the hose clamps are tight.

-Check drum lid; cover should have a foam seal and be well seated.

-Check for holes or leaks in the dust bin barrel.

Motor not properly wired. Check wire connections. - Check motor rotation - See wire diagram

Check breaker box. Make sure power supply is 110V if wiring 110V or 220V if wiring for 220V.

Poor Dust Pick-Up at Woodworking Machines

Caused By:

Check length of duct runs and duct diameters compared to ductwork design guideline.

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.

Check for air leaks between collector and dust bin.

Close all unused blast gates at your woodworking machines.

Examine hood design for weaknesses according to the ductwork guide.

Check for a restricted pipe, too small a hood port or too small a branch line. See branch line diameter chart in ductwork guide.

Be sure that your filters are clean. See filter cleaning directions.

Filter Clogging

Caused By:

Large chips clogging the filter

-Check for a leak in the dust bin, flex coupling or lid. Check for split or torn flex coupling. (See also: Motor Overheating Section above)

-Make sure dust bin has not over filled. Dust bin should be emptied before the dust reaches top of the container.

-Interruption of air flow, such as vacuuming chips with a flex hose connection, will increase filter maintenance.

-Minimum 4” diameter pick up at tool location. Less than 4” will restrict air flow into collector and will increase filter maintenance.

Note: If you continue to experience difficulty with your collector call Oneida Air Systems at 1-800-732-4065 for assistance.

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.
