attention to the anchor bolt location. Anchor bolts
(M16) must extend at least 60 mm above foundation.
If you intend to secure the unit by using expansion

When FilterMax C 25 has been

installed an earth control measuring
must be done (see page 9).

In case of fire
Switch off the safety switch and ensure that the fan
stops. Caution, if the door is opened, more oxygen
will be let into the filter and there is a risk that the fire
intensity will increase.
Suitable fire extinguisher is minimum class AB.

Material recycling
The FilterMax must after its life be dismantled to its
different material types which must be handled
according to relevant local regulations.

Use necessary personal

safety equipment.

Carry out the work in a carefully ventilated room with

filtered exhaust air. After finished work, the working

STARTING THE SYSTEM
1. Turn on the compressed air supply to FilterMax C 25.
Adjust to 0,5 - 0,6 MPa (5 - 6 bar, 72 - 87 psi) of pressure.
2. Close the regulating damper halfway.
3. Important! Check fan impeller rotation direction in the
following way: Regulating
• Loosen the fixing screws on the access door. damper
• Start the FilterMax C 25.
• Stop the FilterMax C 25.
• Open the access door and check through the fan inlet
the impeller rotation direction.
Contact a qualified electrician if the impeller rotation
must be reversed.
4. Adjust the fan for the proper system airflow that is
desired by adjusting the regulating damper. The air flow
can be measured with a fixed airflow meter (or a pitot tube)
and a micro-manometer.
IMPORTANT! Too much airflow can dramatically reduce
the life of the filter element. WARNING!
Risk of personal injury!

ly with a set interval time between each cleaning pulse (facto- blower fan exhaust area as debris can be
ry set of 60 seconds). Check operation of the solenoid valves exhausted and cause injury.
in the following way: Set the pause time on tst (see below).
NB! This is only a control setting and should not be used for
normal operation. Start the system and count the number of
air pulses. It should be 4 pulses.

MONITORING SYSTEM, SETTINGS

CLEANING DURING OPERATION
FilterMax C 25 is in its standard design equipped with a fully auto-
matic compressed air cleaning of the filter cartridges. A piping sys-
tem directs, by a system of solenoid valves, air pulses of 100 ms into
the filter cartridges. The pause time between the air pulses is factory
set at 60 s, but can be set between 5 s and 90 s.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PAUSE TIME SETTINGS

The pause time setting depends on the load at which the filter is working.
Light load - A dust that is easy to clean off the filter cartridges, such as dry Load
stone dust or grinding dust. Light Normal Heavy
Normal load - Applications such as welding fume or light dusts in
heavy concentrations. 90 s 60 s 30 s
Heavy load - Typically metal cutting with laser or plasma and
The paus time is factory set at 60 s.
heavy welding.
With light load the cleaning pressure could be reduced to 0.5 MPa
(5 bar). Check that the filter pressure drop does not rise too quick.
If so, the pause time could be reduced with one step and the cleaning
pressure could be increased, but maximum to 0.6 MPa (6 bar).

Setting the pause time

pt 30 Push the P-button until pt is shown in the display.
Set one of the following values for pause times with
the 0/1-button. tst = test position, all valves will be
opened 1 time with 1 s interval.

12
 C 25
CLEANING AFTER OPERATION
It is possible to choose cleaning after operation, that is when the fan
has stopped. This is more efficient than cleaning during operation
and is therefore recommended. The pause time at cleaning after
operation is always 15 s.
If cleaning after operation has been chosen, one has to set the desired
number of cleaning cycles, where one cycle means the cleaning of all
filter cartridges. 2 - 3 cycles are recommended depending on the dust
load (light - normal) When cleaning after operation it is recommended to
use an after cleaning damper (see accessories page 22).

Setting the cleaning cycles

most filters that are remotly started from a machine or a process eg. it is
convenient to choose Aut.
The remote start control should be connected to strip no. 1 and 5 (see

1. Switch off the FilterMax C25.

2. Loosen the dust container by realising the excentric locks. Let the container down on the floor.
3. Tie the plastic bag with a string according to picture.
4. Remove the plastic bag with impurities. Disposal of dust should be in accordance with local
regulations. Make sure no impurities get into the environment.
5. Check that the gasket between the filter unit and dust container is not damaged.
6. Put a new plastic bag in the dust container.

CHECK WHEN EMPTYING THE DUST CONTAINER

Check if there is water (or oil) in the filter regulator. In that case, the compressed
air is not dry enough and there is a risk of damage to the filter cartridges. Check
that the pressure is set to 0.5 - 0.6 MPa (5 - 6 bar, 72 - 87 psi). If there is water

10. Inspect the filter housing and look for damage,

dust layers etc. Clean inside the filter housing.
A vacuum cleaner is recommended.
11. Handle the new filter cartridges carefully to avoid
damage.
12. Insert the new filter cartridges. NB! The mark on the
back end of the filter cartridge should be put on the angled
sheet-metal plate just inside the filter housing.

13. Hang the filter holders on the screws and

fasten the nuts.
14. Check the access door seal. Shut the door
and fasten the two fixing screws.

15. Turn on the compressed air supply.
