1.1 Product marking

The dust collector type MJC is marked according to the following scheme:
MJC AAA/BB/CC-D
where:
MJC - constant part of the marking which identify the dust collector type
according to NEDERMAN product naming system.
AAA - one, two or three digit number which means the approx. value of filter
area expressed in m2. This is also an unit model (size) identification according
to NEDERMAN product naming system.
BB - two digit figure indicating the filter cartridge size: 40 or 66.
CC - one or two digit number indicating the number of rows in which the
cartridges are arranged (maks. 14),
D - one digit number indicating the number of filter cartridges being arranged
in one row (maks. 8). Therefore, the product of CC × D determines the total
number of filter cartridges used in the unit.

5 Description
5.1 General description and intended use
The MJC is a range of dedusters incorporating the tubular filter cartridges
with reverse jet cleaning designed to separate dry dust from air and certain gas
streams and to collect the dusty material or return it to the process. They are
designed for continuous use.
24 QMM003(05)
MJC EN
Wide range of filter media is available to suit various applications.

Free standing dust collection units, incorporating hoppers and discharge or
collection devices are normally provided with supports that should be securely
fixed to the ground or floor.
Optional versions available:
• Open base venting unit with mounting flange at base of dirty air chamber,
• Insertable venting unit with mounting flange at base of clean air chamber.
All MJC units have generously sized integral pre-separation chambers
to increase their dust load capacity whilst reducing the load on the filter
cartridges.
Units may be supplied with a fan fixed to one side of the clean air chamber, or
with a prepared outlet spigot.
Apart from the standard MJC dedusters, adequately designed special versions
are intended for extraction of combustible dusts, which form explosive
atmospheres inside the machinery - see Chapter 5.4.
5.2 How it works

Normal operation
1. During normal operation, the dust laden air from the plant travels down
the supply duct [1] - see Fig. 12.
2. A vertical slotted baffle [2] separates the inlet section that slows the
airstream and directs dust downward into the hopper [3], protecting the
cartridges [6] from direct abrasion but allowing air to pass horizontally
between the cartridges.
3. The lighter dust collects on the outside of the tubular cartridge [6] as clean
air passes inside of the cage to the clean air chamber. The clean air then
travels through the air handling fan [5] where it can be returned to the
plant or exhausted outdoors.
4. The heavier dust settles in the hopper section [3] where it can be
discharged into a metal bin [7] or through a rotary valve (air lock).
Cleaning
1. The MJC dust collector can utilize an electronic cleaning driver with
delta-p (differential pressure) gauge to control the compressed air
cleaning. In essence, the system cleans the cartridges when they need to.
2. A compressed air line must be connected to one end of the compressed air
manifold [8] - see Fig. 14.
3. A solenoid valve opens to allow compressed air from the manifold into the
jet tubes [9]. The jet tubes are aligned above each row of filter cartridges.
4. The downward blast [10] blows the dust off the tubular filter cartridge
(from the inside out) [4] where it settles into the hopper section to be
collected in the metal bin [7] or discharged through a rotary valve (air
lock).

5.4 Application in explosion risk zones

Standard design of the MJC deduster does not allow for use in the case of gases
that make up explosive mixtures with dust, or for installation in explosion
risk zones. In case of processes, in which dust leading to creation of explosive
mixtures is generated, adequately designed special versions are intended for
extraction of combustible dusts, which form explosive atmospheres inside the
machinery. Such design of MJC itself ensures the sufficient level of protection
against the consequences of an explosion, which may occur inside the unit
body. These dedusters are designed for extraction of flammable dust, which
forms explosive atmosphere inside the machinery continuously, for long
periods or often (zone 20).
In order to comply with the Directive on Equipment and Protective Systems
Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres (No. 94/9/EC -
ATEX95) and its associated harmonised standards, a complete MJC unit,
representing the product range was externally examined by Health and Safety
28 QMM003(05)
MJC EN
Laboratory, Buxton, United Kingdom (Report No. EC/98/17) and finally

considered to be complied with the provisions of the Directive.
Protection against uncontrolled destruction, in the event of dust explosion, is
provided by one or more, pressure relief bursting membranes fitted to the unit.
The size of each explosion vent varies according to the St rating of the dust
for which the filter is designed and it also depends on a volume of the filter
chamber itself. A limited amount of venting will also occur through the extract
fan and silencer.
The required explosion ventilation area is based upon the explosion strength of
the vessel (pred) and its volume (V). This data is linked with the explosibility
of the dust (Kst), the maximum possible explosion pressure for the dust and the
maximum release pressure for the ventilation device. This data is combined in
the calculations used to determine the area of the ventilation panels.
Significant amounts of flame may be emitted from the explosion vent and from
the air outlet and, in severe cases, the filter unit may be rendered unusable,
but there is no significant emission of flame from unpredicted points on the
enclosure and there is no flying debris.
6 Main components
NEDERMAN continuously improves the products and their efficiency through
the introduction of design modifications. We reserve the right to do this
without introducing these improvements on previously supplied products. We
also reserve the right, without previous notice, to modify data and equipment,
as well as operating and maintenance instructions.
The device consists of a number of components, which assembled together
compose its entire construction. The main structural components are typically
made of metal sheets and steel profiles of standard constructional grade which
are protected against corrosion by means of protective paint systems suitable
for an expected type of environment. Where it is needed, connections between
the adjacent components are sealed with appropriate materials.
The MJC dust collector consists of the following main sub-assemblies (see

7.3 Installation requirements

The MJC dust collector is to be placed on a supporting structure of suitable
capacity, adapted to its mass (see Tables 5-5 and 5-6), and (if applicable)
taking into account the additional load associated with atmospheric conditions
(snowfall, wind). Open base or fully insertable units should be sealed and
securely fixed to the vessel to be ventilated.
The MJC dust collector should be positioned in accordance with the legal
provisions on positioning of machines, taking into account the space needed
for the device operation, opening of the inspection door, providing power
supply connections etc.
The appropriate data is contained in the standard EN 547-1: Machines - Safety
–Dimensions of the human body - Rules of determination of the dimensions
allowing access of the entire body to the machine.
NOTE! Particular care should be taken when siting a filter fitted with an
explosion relief panel so that it complies with national regulations. The relief
panels must be free to open with no obstructions. A safety exclusion zone
outside the relief panel must be established and respectively marked.
The minimum distance for safety L may possibly be assessed according to
EN 14491: Dust explosion venting protective systems.
Safety exclusion zone outside the relief panel must be marked with standard
warning signs Ex.
However expert advice should be sought if there is any doubt, so in such a case
please ask NEDERMAN for assistance.
WARNING! Burn risk.
Possible emission of flames from the relief door during an explosion. The
gangway in front of the explosion relief doors should be respectively marked
and must not be used during operation. The gangway must be locked during
operation.

Unit located outdoors

It is always recommended to place dust collector units outdoors when they
are fitted with explosion relief ventilation panels. Unless it is technically
impossible, this is the preferred location.
NOTE. A safe area should be established in front of the explosion vents if
these discharge horizontally.
Unit located indoors

If this is unavoidable, then the dust explosion may be ventilated through a short
duct (less than 1 metre) to a safe area outside. Longer ducts or bends should
be avoided because of adverse affects in the filter. NEDERMAN should be
contacted for advice for any ducted explosion relief proposal.
NOTE. A safe area should be established in front of the explosion vents / ducts
if these discharge horizontally.
The final position of a filter fitted with explosion ventilation should be decided
following a careful risk assessment performed by the user. The key risks arise
from the emerging combustive dust cloud causing direct damage to people and
property, plus the risk of a secondary explosion or fire.
WARNING! Secondary explosion risk.

If an explosion is ventilated within a building there is an enhanced risk of a
secondary explosion occurring, caused by the pressure wave from the primary
explosion dislodging dust from walls, beams and other surfaces. The result of
such a secondary explosion could be catastrophic.
8 Installation
8.1 Installing the MJC dust collector
32 QMM003(05)
MJC EN

8.1.1 Installation on site

NOTE! Mechanical and electrical installation should be performed only by
suitably qualified and experienced personnel.
A firm horizontal location should be used that will support the unit taking
into account all dead and imposed loads. Free standing units should be
mechanically fixed to the floor / ground, whilst ensuring that there is sufficient
space for access and maintenance.
If the hopper is supplied as a separate item, lift into position with a suitable
crane or forklift onto the prepared base. Securely bolt to the foundations or
floor as appropriate.
NOTE! Units fitted with explosion panels must always be securely fixed to
their foundations.
8.1.2 Unit assembly

For units delivered as separate assemblies, proceed as follows: -
1. Lift the hopper into its prepared position and bolt securely into place using
prepared fixings.
2. If supplied as separate assemblies, the clean air and dirty air chambers
should first be bolted together after applying sealant to the mating flange.
3. Place the assembled filter onto the hopper after applying sealant to the
mating flange and bolt securely together.
4. If the filter is delivered with the clean air chamber separate from the dirty
air chamber, or as an insertable unit with no dirty air chamber, then the
filter cartridges will require fitting (see Fig. 8). Follow the procedure
below:
1) Insert cartridges [5] centrally into aperture in cartridge support floor
[6] complete with sealing rings.
2) Place clamping plate [4]over fixing studs.
3) Screw down clamping knobs [3] evenly until tight.
4) Fit jet tube [1] into the gasket socket [pos. 2, Fig. 10] at valve sleeve
and secure remote end with fixing screw/knob [2]. Always fit a
shakeproof washer under the knob when fixing this item.
8.1.3 Ductwork connections
Ducted inlet
The dirty air inlet is at the top of the pre-separation chamber (see Fig. 1,
pos. 7). The duct connection is made to a rectangular flange by means of M8
bolts. The size of the flange will suit the airflow volume handled by the filter.
Ducted outlet
A clean air fan from 0.75 up to 18.5 kW may be directly mounted on the front
of the clean air chamber. It may be fitted with an air silencer and weather cowl
QMM003(05) 33
EN MJC
as shown above. A flange for external ducting may be fitted in place of the
weather cowl.
Outlet duct spigot for separate fan

If the fan is to be mounted separately from the filter, a flanged or QF spigot to
suit the outlet duct size may be fitted to the clean air chamber in place of the
fan. Fixing for a flanged duct would be by M8 bolts.
8.1.4 Electrical connections

The MJC dust collector is normally fitted with a cleaning system controller
This incorporates a pressure sensor to monitor differential pressure. It has two
pipe connections to sense differential pressure between the clean and dirty air
chambers.
Please refer to separate controller manual for this item.
REMARK. The electric installation will normally include a fan and may
also have motorised dust discharge devices, such as rotary valves and screw
conveyors. Ensure that the normal running controls prevent the fan from
running until the discharge devices are energised. If the reverse jet control
“after-clean” mode is used, then the discharge devices should remain energised
during the after-cleaning period.
If the filter is operating on a process and is situated in an unmanned or remote
location, then it would be wise to make use of the differential pressure alarm
connection in the controller, to indicate in a prominent place if the filter
differential pressure increases unduly.
8.1.5 Compressed air connection

There will normally be one connection point for compressed air to operate
the reverse jet cleaning system. It is good practice to fit a combined oil / water
separator and pressure regulator in the supply line. The compressed air should
be dry and must be free from oil. Its quality must be of Class 2 according
to standard ISO 8573-1: Compressed air - Part 1: Contaminants and purity
classes. For details see Table 8-1.
ISO 8573-1 provides general information about contaminants in compressed-
air systems as well as links to the other parts of ISO 8573, either for the
measurement of compressed air purity or the specification of compressed-air
purity requirements.

The connection will normally be a female G ¾, EN ISO 228-1 (¾'' BSP).

Normal operating pressure is 5.0 to 5.5 bar. To protect the filter cartridges, do
not exceed 5.5 bar. Higher pressures will add undue stress without enhancing
the cleaning efficiency. The system compressed air capacity should be
sufficient to allow the manifold to regain its pressure after a pulse within ten
seconds.
Consumption of the compressed air depends on a number of cleaning valves
used - see Table 8-2.

9 Using the MJC dust collector

9.1 Before start-up
NOTE! Before any kind of activity, the SAFETY REGULATIONS
(Chapter 4) must be read carefully, and the safety predictions must be strictly
adhered to.
a protective mask and goggles
Inspection before first start:

• check that ductwork connections are correct and tight,
• if there is a main volume control damper, set this half closed to limit the
initial airflow volume,
• check that the filter cartridges are correctly fitted and that all jet tubes are
firmly fixed in place,
• check that all access and inspection doors are closed,
• check the compressed air pressure and adjust if necessary,
• energise the fan briefly to check for correct direction of rotation.
QMM003(05) 35
EN MJC
9.2 Start-up
First start
1. Energise the main controls / cleaning controller supply and set the delta-p
(cleaning on demand) function on the controller to OFF state. This will
allow the reverse jet cleaning to run continuously for test purposes.
2. Run the fan (or fans). For large separated fan check for signs of slipping
drive belts. Ensure quiet smooth running with no parts rubbing. Check
that the fan operation is smooth. Measure the fan motor current and check
this against the motor full load current. If the current is too high, stop the
fan immediately and refer to the fault-finding section in Chapter 12.
3. Listen to each diaphragm valve in turn. The release of air when pulsing
should be equally strong for each valve. There should be no sound of
continuous leakage and the manifold pressure should recover within ten
seconds.
4. Check the smooth operation of any rotary valve and screw conveyor, or
other motorised device.
5. Before allowing process dust into the system, commission the system to
operate with the design airflow volume.
6. After a period of free running, visually check for tightness of connections
and smooth operation.
7. Stop the system using the normal operational “STOP” control. Observe
that the correct specified sequence to shut down occurs. Note particularly
the operation of the filter “AFTER-CLEAN” procedure, if used.
Note! Whenever possible make use of the automatic after-clean function.
This will give enhanced efficiency cleaning after the main fan has
stopped.
8. If "cleaning-on-demand" method is required, set the delta-p control to
ON.
The system is now ready to be put to work. Before final commissioning the
system should be allowed to run for a while to enable the filter cartridges
to become conditioned with dust. This will give a more stable condition for
commissioning.
9.3 Operation
NOTE! Before commencement of operation of the MJC deduster, the staff
must get familiar with the safety predictions described in the Chapter 4 of the
present Instruction Manual. Regulation of power control may be performed
only by authorized persons.
NOTE! A failure to observe the requirements of the safety instruction may
lead to a serious accident!
NOTE! Before turning on the dedusting system, all doors, inspection hole
covers and safety devices must be locked permanently.
Introduction
It is assumed now that the installation is complete and the filter unit and
associated equipment have been commissioned and are ready for normal
operation.
36 QMM003(05)
MJC EN
Typical operation – continuous cleaning

In this mode the reverse jet cleaning will start with the main fan. Cleaning
pulses will occur at regular intervals until the plant is shut down.
Typical operation – clean on demand

In this mode the reverse jet cleaning will commence when the differential
pressure across the cartridges has reached a preset value, typically (but not
necessarily) 100 mm water. Cleaning will continue until the differential
pressure has reduced to a lower value, typically 75 mm water.
Typical operation – after clean function

This function enables the reverse jet cleaning to operate for an adjustable time
after the process and main fan have stopped. This function should be used if
the process is not totally continuous. A signal from the fan starter, when the
fan is de-energised will initiate the after clean period.
Dust collection bins

When the installation is new, the bins should be checked regularly and emptied
before overfilling. If there is a shut-off damper above the bin, this should be
closed before removing the bin. This will allow the filter to remain in operation
during emptying. This damper must be opened again when the bin has been
replaced to prevent material accumulating in the hopper.
With experience typical filling time for the bins will become known.
The hopper is designed for dust separation; it is not to be used as a storage
vessel for material. If a level of dust is allowed to accumulate in the hopper,
the efficiency of the filter will be affected by re-entrainment of dust from the
surface, artificially increasing the dust burden of the unit.
Bins may be used with plastic liners if the “bin-balance” option is fitted.
A flexible pipe connects the steel bin to the clean air chamber of the filter,
to prevent the plastic liner being drawn up into the hopper when the fan is
running. Please note, however, that if this pipe is connected, then a bin liner
must be used, otherwise dust will be drawn directly into the clean air chamber.
Discharge by means of rotary valve or other device

Larger filters, or those handling higher dust loads are likely to have a method
for continuous discharge of dust, such as a rotary valve or motorised flap valve.
It is important to ensure that the discharge device is energised when the main
fan starts, to prevent dust building up in the hopper. If the dust is then directed
into a conveyor, its controls should be linked to the discharge device to ensure
that the complete dust discharge / transport system operates as one machine.
If the after clean function is utilised, the discharge devices should remain
energised until the end of the after clean time period. This is to prevent dust
building in the hopper.
Operation of fan
On most systems the air handling fan is on the clean air side of the filter. The
fan impellers, usually of the backward curved blade type, are designed to
run in clean air. If run in dusty air they may start to vibrate as a result of dust
building on the blades causing out of balance forces. The cause of this would
normally be a broken cartridge (see later fault location chart). Do not allow the
fan to run out of balance as serious damage may result.
QMM003(05) 37
EN MJC
Filter operating pressures and temperatures

MJC filter units will normally operate under negative pressure, but it is
possible to operate under positive pressure, for example when used to ventilate
vessels (see Table 5-1).
10 Maintenance

Introduction
Regular professional quality service and maintenance are the key to trouble
free operation. Only original NEDERMAN spare parts should be used
during scheduled maintenance and for repairs. The service intervals are given
for guidance only. The severity of duty should be taken into account when
planning service and maintenance schedules.
NOTE! The plant must be completely stopped and the electrical supply
isolated in accordance with electrical regulations before commencing service
work.
38 QMM003(05)
MJC EN
NOTE! Similarly, the compressed air supply should be isolated and the air
manifold drain tap opened to release the pressure.
On completion of work a safety inspection of covers, guards etc. should be
made before removing the isolation and energising the equipment.
Filter Housing
The filter housing is made from painted cold reduced sheet steel. No
maintenance other than normal cleaning should be required.
Integral Fan
The fan impeller has been balanced at the factory in order to ensure smooth
running. If vibration develops during normal operation, dust deposits on the
impeller will be the most likely cause. Therefore after cleaning the impeller
the vibration should cease. If the vibration continues, the impeller should be
removed and re-balanced. We recommend that the NEDERMAN Service Dept.
should be contacted.
Fan Motor
Standard motors are maintenance free. See a separate motor manual if the
motor is non-standard, or particularly large.
Reverse jet controller

The solid state reverse jet controller contains no serviceable parts. Please see
the separate reverse jet controller manual (typically type DFC-08M) to check
or make changes to settings.
10.1.1 Planned Maintenance

The MJC Cartridge dust collector and fan should be serviced at the intervals
stated below (see Table 10-1).
Other associated items such as rotary valve, conveyor and electrical control
panels should also be serviced according to their requirements. All motors
should be checked for general condition.
If wear or damage is found, the defective parts should be replaced as soon
as possible. Any safety hazards arising from continued operation should be
assessed.
NOTE! Use only original NEDERMAN spare parts.

the installation, which have been fixed or regulated. In case if the defect is still
observed, shut down the installation immediately.
10.2.1 First start after major maintenance.

1. Check that all flanges, inspection and access doors are secure.
2. Activate the supply of compressed air. Check that the pressure in the filter
manifold is a constant 6.2 bar.
3. Check that the dust bins are in place and isolation dampers in the hopper
discharge are open. Dust must not be stored in the hopper.
4. Start the fan and check the direction of rotation. The reverse jet cleaning
timer should be activated when the fan starts.
5. The reverse jet controls clean-on-demand function should be switched off
initially, to allow the cleaning system to be tested. After testing, the clean-
on-demand function may be selected if required.

10.2.2 Inspection and replacement of filter cartridges.

NOTE! Before commencing work, isolate the electrical and compressed air
supplies, using procedures in accordance with national safety regulations. Use
suitable protective clothing and equipment, according to the material filtered.
REMARK. Normal maintenance is from the top, within handrails if specified,
but cartridge changing may be specified from the side, if headroom does not
allow top access.
Ensure that the correct filter cartridges are used for replacement. Other
aftermarket cartridges may cause unexpected malfunction.
Top (standard) cartridge removal

1. Open top access lids; latch in open position.
2. Unscrew and remove retaining knob screw at jet tube end and withdraw
the jet tube from socket at the other end.
3. Withdraw cage assembly upward out of filter cartridge. If clearance for
withdrawal is restricted, split cages may be employed. In this case the
cages will be spring clipped together part way along their length to permit
splitting after partial withdrawal.
4. Compress side of felt ring around top of cartridge inwards to double up
on itself, to release cartridge from cartridge floor. Withdraw cartridge
upwards, shaking dust down into dirty air chamber as far as possible.
Dirty cartridges may be dropped into dirty air chamber if retrieval is
convenient, reducing dust in cleaned air chamber.
Before replacing a cartridge, check for signs of wear or abrasion or
degradation, for example by hydrolysis. If any damage is found, the cartridge
should be replaced by a new one. Look for any signs of damage to the cage and
check that it has no sharp edges that may damage the cartridge.
Top (standard) cartridge replacement

REMARK. See also chapter 8.1.2, p. 4.
1. Clean area around cartridge floor apertures.
2. Lower cartridge into aperture in cartridge support floor and compress
and double up snap ring in felt ring around top of cartridge (see Fig. 8)
and fit the cartridge so that the metal edge of the aperture seats in the
groove around felt ring. Snap the cartridge out into place, ensuring that the
cartridge floor is securely located in the groove around the cartridge. The
cartridge is sealed and fully retained by this method.
3. Replace cage assembly.
4. Replace the jet tube and secure tightly with retaining knob screw. Note
that there must be a shake-proof washer under the knob.
5. Clean area around access lid, to ensure a good seal when the lid is closed.
6. Close and secure lids. The dust collector unit may now be started again.
Side removal (alternative) cartridge removal

1. Open side access door(s). Note this will give access to the dirty air
chamber
QMM003(05) 41
EN MJC
2. Grasp nearest cartridge at neck, rotate anti-clockwise, whilst exerting

upward pressure, to release cartridge from bayonet fitting.
3. Remove a complete row of cartridges nearest to the doors. Remove
sealing ring from each bayonet spigot.
4. Insert well-fitting boards across the inside of the unit successively, as
each row of cartridges is removed, to establish a safe working platform.
Perimeter supports for these boards are a built-in feature.
5. With the cartridge and cage outside the filter unit, cut off the tie wrap and
slide the cartridge off the cage. Note that tools are not required inside the
filter unit.
Before replacing a cartridge, check for signs of wear or abrasion or
degradation, for example by hydrolysis. If any damage is found, the cartridge
should be replaced by a new one. Look for any signs of damage to the cage and
check that it has no sharp edges that may damage the cartridge.
Side removal (alternative) cartridge replacement.

1. Clean underside of cartridge support floor, particularly the area where the
cartridge sealing rings fit over bayonet spigot.
2. Fit new cartridge over cage and fix a tie wrap tightly around the top.
3. Fit a new sealing ring over the spigot on the underside of the cartridge
support floor. Never re-use an existing ring.
4. Fit the cartridge and cage assembly over bayonet spigot, turning clockwise
with upward pressure until it is felt to drop slightly into its retained
position. Start at the remote corners of each row in turn, starting at the
back and work towards the centre. Remove one row of safety boards as
each cartridge row is completed.
5. Clean the area around the door seals; close and secure the access doors.
6. Remove any spilt dust from around the front of the filter and tidy the area.
The plant may now be started again.
10.2.3 Replacement of the fan impeller

REMARK. The instructions below refer to an integral fan (NF type)
1. Isolate the electrical supply and then disconnect the motor at the motor
terminal box. Note positions of the cables to ensure correct connections
when re-assembling.
2. Support the motor and release the screws securing the motor mounting
plate to the fan case.
3. Withdraw the motor and mounting plate together with the fan impeller and
lower to the ground.
4. Remove the screw and washer at the end of the motor shaft and withdraw
the fan impeller, retaining the shaft key for re-use.
5. Re-assemble as above, but in reverse order. Ensure that motor shaft,
keyway, key and fan impeller boss are completely clean before putting
these parts together.
When assembly is complete, check that the fan impeller rotates freely. Also
check that the clearance between the impeller and the perimeter of the fixed
42 QMM003(05)
MJC EN
inlet is uniform. This will ensure safe operation without risk of metal to metal
contact. Any defects must be corrected before the fan is put into use again.
10.2.4 Replacement of diaphragm in cleaning valve.

REMARK. A diaphragm valve repair kit is available from NEDERMAN for
this purpose.
1. Disconnect the compressed air supply. Open the tank drain tap slowly,
until the compressed air tank is empty. Note whether water and oil mist
emerge. Leave the drain tap open until the work is complete.
2. Remove the cover from the diaphragm valve and withdraw the diaphragm.
Normally the solenoid valve is directly mounted onto the diaphragm valve
lid. This may be left in place on the lid, but its electrical supply should be
disconnected by first removing the single retaining screw in the plug. Note
also that there may be a loose spring behind the diaphragm, depending
upon valve type. Do not forget to re-fit this spring during re-assembly.
3. Check that the mating surfaces between the diaphragm, the valve body
and the valve cover are clean and free from dust.
4. Fit the diaphragm (and spring if present) and the diaphragm valve cover
together with a new sealing gasket. The screws should be tightened
diagonally. Certain diaphragm valve covers may be retained by a C-clip.
If so, ensure that the C-clip is inserted correctly.
5. Close the drain tap, then turn on the compressed air supply and listen for
any sign of leaking air. If all is well, follow the procedure for filter start
(see earlier in Maintenance section).
10.2.5 Replacement of solenoid valve coil

A solenoid valve repair kit is available from NEDERMAN for this purpose.
The solenoid valves are normally directly mounted onto the diaphragm valves
that are mounted on the compressed air manifold. Under rare special conditions
they may be situated in a separate enclosure and connected by pipes to the
diaphragm valves.
1. Isolate electrical supply.
2. Remove the single retaining screw in the electrical plug and remove the
plug.
3. Remove the coil retaining clip and slide the coil off the stem.
4. Refit new coil by reversing this procedure.
