Powermatic Air Filtration System Pm1200 User Manual

Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration System  
A large portion of the design and engineering effort behind the  
Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration System was devoted to striking  
a good balance between airflow volume and efficient filtration.  
Even the fins on the blower fan were subjected to considerable  
research and development to be sure they made the most effective  
fan for this application. The result is an air filtration system  
specifically designed from the ground up to function effectively in  
the woodshop environment.  
The PM1200 Air Filtration System  
is loaded with features that make it  
versatile and a great value for the  
workshop.  
Legitimate Efficiency  
It is important to understand the filtration numbers so  
often used to describe the efficiency of an air filter.  
Statements like “filters particles down to 5 microns”  
actually tell you little about efficiency. It is crucial to  
know the percentage of those particles actually captured  
as no filter is 100% effective. Increasing the filtration  
efficiency for a 1-micron particle for example becomes  
exponentially difficult. Knowing the percentage of a  
specific particle size an air filtration system removes is  
the only true indicator of how it will perform in your  
shop.  
A considerable amount of engineering was  
expended in the design of the PM1200 AFS  
filtration elements to ensure maximum  
efficiency.  
We at POWERMATIC believe in providing the most  
accurate and understandable efficiency numbers for all of our dust collection and air filtering  
equipment. That gives you the best information possible on which to base your buying decisions.  
The Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration System uses two filter stages, the outer to capture large  
particles and the inner smaller particles. The outer filter removes 99% of 5-micron particles. The  
inner filter captures 85% of 1-micron particles.  
Filters  
To make it easier to maintain  
the Powermatic PM1200 Air  
Filtration System we use 12” X  
24” X 1” filters on the intake  
side. That size was picked  
because they can be found at  
virtually any local home center.  
The diffusion filter on the exit  
side does not require  
replacement in most cases and  
can be cleaned periodically  
The inner and outer filter elements (left) can be removed or installed (right)  
without tools.  
We also added a programmable timer. This lets you set the Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration  
System to run for one to nine hours to thoroughly clean the air after work has stopped. When the  
timer expires, the Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration System shuts down automatically.  
A re-settable, pop out fuse protects the Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration System in the event of  
an overload or power surge. After three to five minutes, push the fuse button and restart the  
Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration System.  
We also added a “change filter” light that comes on after 200 hours of use. This indicator is  
intended as a guide or reminder. The actual intervals between cleaning or replacing filter media  
is determined by how much dust is being made in the shop. The change filter light has a reset  
button (accessed with a paper clip or similar wire) on the control panel of the Powermatic  
PM1200 Air Filtration System.  
The remote control that comes with the Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration System operates on a  
radio frequency rather than an infrared beam. Using radio frequency eliminates the line-of-sight  
limitation of the infrared types. The radio frequency remote supplied with the Powermatic  
PM1200 Air Filtration System works from anywhere in the shop or even from other nearby  
rooms.  
Mounting and Locations  
At 67 pounds the Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration  
System is relatively light but requires a safe, secure  
mounting. High quality, appropriately sized fasteners that  
are properly installed into joists or rafters is required. We  
recommend avoiding the use of open hook-type  
connections. Using self-closing clip or loop-style  
connections will prevent one or more corners of the  
Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration System from detaching  
Along with the remote we include a hardware  
pack with threaded eyelets, nuts and washers  
to make hanging the PM1200 AFS easy and  
safe.  
should it be struck accidentally by a project or piece of  
wood.  
The innumerable variations in the shape and configuration  
of woodworking shops make recommending standardized mounting locations virtually  
impossible. In many cases placing the Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration System parallel to one  
of the walls will help promote circulation of the air within the space for the most effective  
cleaning of the air. In very large shops, two or more Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration Systems  
can be installed nose-to-tail to more effectively clean the large volume of air.  
If there is a particularly dusty location such as a permanent sanding station, some find it helpful  
to install the Powermatic PM1200 Air Filtration System so that the exit (filtered) airflow washes  
over that area. That introduces a stream of “rinsed” air to the immediate area and promotes  
circulating the contaminated air around the room to the inlet side of the Powermatic PM1200 Air  
Filtration System.
