I. System Start-Up Information

1.Read the installation and maintenance instructions as well as the recommended safety practices in this manual.

2.Install Ductwork completely:

A.) Seal ductwork with silicone sealant or duct tape.

B.) Have Dust Bin in place and sealed before running Dust Collector.

3.Wire Fan / Blower according to wire diagram on pg. 11 in this owner’s manual.

4.Have a licensed electrician check current draw on motor with all gates open. Current draw should not exceed maximum motor amperage. (OAS is not responsible for destroyed motors.)

Caution

The Direct Drive Fan / Blower makes the system top heavy!

Use extreme care when setting the unit up!

Warning

Do not operate Fan / Blower unless Cyclone and Dust Bin

are in place. Motor will over heat!

Warning

Check amperage draw during operation with all blast gates open. Make certain amperage is not outside operating limit indicated on motor plate!

Warning

If amperage is too high - shut down immediately!

(See troubleshooting section.)

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.
