FAQ

Will the 3HP motor work with 208 volt single phase power?

Yes. The V-3000 dust collector can be operated at a voltage range of 208V to 230V in single phase.

How often should I clean the dust collector's cartridge filter?

This can vary widely depending on how often your dust collector is used and what kind of dusts it's exposed to but you should typically clean it only once you've noticed a considerable drop in suction performance. In our experience this can be around once per year, but with heavy amounts of sanding it could be as often as once per month. A meter such as our Filter Efficiency Gauge can also be used to monitor pressure buildup and inform you when the filter needs to be cleaned.

What is the floor space required for the V-1500 w/ 35 gallon drum?

On the floor, the V-System's stand is a 30" x 30" square. How wide the overall system is depends on the orientation of your filter plenum. If the plenum is oriented ninety degrees clockwise from the system's inlet, then the overall width would be 47". Please refer to the owner's manual for more detailed dimensions.

Can the V-System be used with a smaller dust bin to lower the total height?

With the stand, the V-System's overall height cannot be lower than 87" (for 1.5HP) or 88" (for 3HP). Oneida Air Systems does offer wall-mounting brackets for the V-System. This would allow you to mount the V-System dust collector at a lower height for use with smaller containers. Please note that you may have to empty the smaller drum much more frequently depending on your workflow.

What is the height of the V-System 3000?

The V-3000 dust collector measures 88" tall. You can find more detailed dimensions by referencing the Owner's Manual, posted on the product page under the "Documents" tab.

What do I need to know about NFPA regulations?

Fire protection regulations are a complex and ever-changing set of rules that differ from facility to facility. However, all of Oneida Air Systems' dust collector are NFPA Compliance Ready and we provide best practices and guidance for assisting customers - read our NFPA Reference Guide for more information.

What dust can be collected with your collector?

Oneida Air Systems' dust collectors are designed and tested for wood and wood dust. They can and have been used effectively for various other debris, including drywall dust, paper dust, agricultural dust, and metal chips. Please note that some common materials when cut, ground or processed by machinery may become highly toxic, flammable, or deflagrable and explosive. Customers must ensure that their particular use of a dust collection system is in accordance with national, state, local, NFPA, OSHA and all other applicable codes.

What is a static dissipative material?

Static dissipative (SD) refers to the material's electrical conductivity. SD materials are superior to anti-static (AS) materials, but not quite as good as conductive or static conductive (SC) materials in terms of reducing static charge build-up.

How do I troubleshoot an air leak with my cyclone?

Even a small leak can significantly affect the overall separation performance of the cyclone. If you can't audibly pinpoint where the leak might be coming from, one of the simplest ways to check for air leaks is with a smoke test. Click "Read More" for further instructions and tips.

What are the dimensions for this product?

General system dimensions are shown in the Specifications tab on each product page. More detailed information can be found in the product's Owner's Manual, located under the Documents tab.

Why does the bin level indicator flash when the bin is empty?

Because the Dust Sentry works via an adjustable infrared sensor, it can sometimes show false positives with an empty container because of the reflective surface at the bottom of the steel drum. This issue will go away soon after the system is used; once the bottom of the drum has sawdust on it, the Dust Sentry should no longer give a false positive. It can also be resolved by painting/coloring the inside bottom of the drum so that it is no longer reflective enough to affect the sensor.

How do I adjust the bin level sensor?

Adjust the detection of the dust level of the infrared sensor by rotating the Level Set Screw. Turning it towards the plus sign (+) will lengthen the range of the sensor; turning it towards the minus sign (-) will shorten the sensor’s range. DO NOT force the level set screw.

What's the recommended range I should set the bin level sensor at?

We recommend that the sensor be set to alert at a distance of 4-6". To test the range, place your hand in front of the sensor, while the Dust Sentry is plugged in, to represent the dust drum filling up.

Should the inlet reducer for my dust collector be crimped or straight?

The inlets on all of our dust collectors are sized to fit standard ductwork. If you need a reducer to connect to ductwork that’s smaller than your collector’s inlet, the end of the reducer that connects to the inlet will need to be crimped, so that it will fit inside the inlet.

Can I lengthen the Bin Level Sensor power cord?

The 8' power cord can be extended to any length using wire of the same gauge or higher.

Can Dust Sentry Panel be mounted outside in weather?

No, there is electrical components inside and if it got wet there is a potential it would short circuit.
