Preface

1.1 General
Please observe this operation and assembly manual before operating the ProtectoSpark attachment, and pay strick attention to any safety warnings which lead to the provention of injury or damage. Store this manula in a safe place. These instructions are to be regarded as a component of the product.
Contact the manufacturer in case of any uncertainty.

1.2 Application
The spark protection for the unit ProtectoXtract can be retro-fitted optionally and consists of two components, the baffle and the collecting tray.
The polluted air is sucked in via extraction elements (e.g. extraction arm) and gets inside the filter unit via the air intake. There the air hits the baffle plate and is led along the baffle plate towards the collecting tray. At the collecting tray the air deflects by 180°. Thus the air gets into the particle filter. Induced by the deflection the bigger particles, as for example extinct spark particles, fall into the collecing tray and stay there.

  • Observe the approved supply voltage. (Observe the indications on the nameplate)
  • Only use Weldability spare parts.
  • Do not use the device without filter elements.
  • Ensure the appropriate Filters are suitable for the intended application and are installed before use.
  • Before opening the device, separate it from the mains supply.
  • The outlet holes must not be covered or blocked.
  • Always take care that the device is in a safe position and that the brakes at the swivel castors are pulled.
  • When cleaning and maintaining the device, replacing parts or when changing to another function.
  • Disconnect the filter unit from the mains supply.
  • The filter elements must not be reused.
  • Dispose of the filter cartridges according to the legal regulations.
  • The device must not be used if the mains cable is not in perfect condition
  • Do not use the filter unit if one or more parts of the unit are faulty, missing or damaged. In each of these cases, please contact the Weldability service department on +44 (0) 845 862 2620.
  • When extracting carcinogenic fumes, e.g. materials containing nickel or chrome, the ventilation requirements have to be observed
  • During transport, the device has to be secured against falling and slipping.
  • When lifting and putting down the device, do not remain below or next to the load.

Installation

3.1 Exchange of the clamping bracket
The previous clamping bracket is exchanged against two new supplied clamping brackets. The shape of the previously used clamping bracket determines the choice of the type to be installed.
When screwing the clamping bracket, the screw must be tightened; but only to the point where the clamping bracket is still movable. For this purpose it might be necessary to exchange the screws against the ones supplied alternatively.

3.2 Use of the plug on rubber
The supplied plug-on-rubber is only used with ProtectoXtract’s which have been manufactured since end of 2013 (see information on the type plate).
The plug-on-rubber supports the airflow along the baffle plate. Mount the plug-on-rubber at the inside of the braces (see arrows). At the position where braces cross the plug-on-rubber has to be gashed.
The plug-on-rubber has no sealing function, but reduces the gap between baffle plate and the braces.

3.3 Installation of baffle plate and dust collecting tray
The baffle plate is inserted into the filter unit in the shown mounting direction (illustration on the left).
The baffle plate lies on top of the particle filter and is pushed till it is adjacent to the back of the housing.
The dust collecting tray is installed in front of the baffle plate (illustration on the right). The bracket of the dust collecting tray must be hung in the front frame of the particle filter.
Finally the maintenance door is to be closed. The clamping brackets on the baffle plate must thereby move inside the housing.

3.4 Resetting the pressure switch for filter control
The ProtectoXtract is equipped with a filter control as a standard feature which monitors the degree of saturation of the filter element. Details on this can be found in the separate operating manual of the ProtectoXtract. The hooter (A) begins to sound when the filter control is triggered.

The negative pressure in the device changes when the dust pre-separator is used and the filter control would then indicate a filter alarm at an early stage. Therefore, it is necessary to reset the pressure switch accordingly. Proceed as follows:

  • The baffle plate and the collecting tray must be installed and the maintenance door must be closed as specified in chapter 3.3

  • Close the throttle valve (C) on the suction hood. The suction hood is located at the capturing element of the filter.
    (A closed throttle valve in combination with new filter elements generates a negative pressure comparable to saturated filter elements with an opened throttle valve.)

  • Remove the masking cap (B). Here the alignment of the pressure switch is located.

  • Now turn on the ProtectoXtract. Change the alarm value of the pressure switch while the Protec-toXtract is on. Therefore, you turn at the alignment of the pressure switch by inserting a torx screwdriver ( T25 – T27) or a flat-bladed screwdriver ( size 3 – 3.5) into the alignment aperture.
    Turn the alignment clockwise till the signal hooter stops. Now turn counter- clockwise till the signal hooter restarts to sound. In this position the pressure switch is optimally set.

  • Re-attach the masking cap at the filter.

Maintenance

The dust collecting tray must be emptied at regular intervals. The intervals depend on the produced quantity of dust and thus cannot be predetermined
