Ecogate greenbox User Manual
USER GUIDE
Your ECOGATE System works fully
automatically. After initially powering up
the greenBOX, it will open blast gate #1
and sequentially close all other blast gates.
HOW AUTOMATIC MODE
WORKS?
If you switch any workstation ON, the
greenBOX will open the appropriate blast
gate and switch the dust collector ON.
Turning workstations OFF will similarly
close the appropriate gates. One gate (the
last gate used) will remain open, however,
to ensure trouble-free vacuum operation.
Upon turning OFF the last operating
workstation, the greenBOX will switch the
dust collector OFF as well.
FRONT PANEL INDICATORS
If any blast gates (1-8) are open, then the
corresponding indicator (1-8) will be ON
to reflect this status. During blast gate
movement the corresponding LED indica-
tor flashes.
Whether the dust collector is ON or OFF
is indicated by the LED marked “Dust
collector”. The LED marked “Power” in-
dicates that a power supply is present.
USING THE “REMOTE
CONTROL” ROCKER SWITCH
This switch operates blast gate #8 and op-
erates the dust collector in conjunction
with a floor sweep or hand-held tools.
MANUAL MODE
Press the “AUTO-MANUAL” button to
enter the greenBOX into the MANUAL
mode. The “Manual ON” red LED indi-
cator will start flashing. In the manual
mode the dust collector is permanently
ON.
In manual mode you can control all con-
nected blast gates via the corresponding
buttons marked “1-8”. The first press of
the button will open the blast gate. The
second press of the same button will close
the blast gate.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR & FUSE
Under the front cover (at the top of the
box on the bottom printed board, under
the power terminals) there is a voltage se-
lector. On this selector there is a small
window where the selected voltage (115 or
230V) is visible. To select the voltage, use a
small flat screwdriver and move the switch
so that you see the desired voltage in the
small window.
You must also change the fuse – the cor-
rect value for 115V is T0.250 A (∅5 x 20
mm), and for 230V the correct value is
T0.125 A. Both fuses are delivered with
the unit.
