MANUAL AT THEIR DISCRETION AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE For the latest specifications pertaining to the Hakko HJ3100, or any Hakko product, contact your nearest authorized Hakko distributor, your regional Hakko manager, or American Hakko Products’ Customer Service.

INTRODUCTION. Congratulations! You have purchased the most adaptable and efficient small fume extraction system on the market - the Hakko HJ3100. To get the most out of your system, please read this manual thoroughly before installing and operating the HJ3100.
CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIFICATIONS. CONTROLS. The only control for the HJ3100 is a power switch. The motor is equipped with a thermal overload sensor, which will turn power off should the motor temperature exceed 160 to 180 F. Units manufactured after August 15, 1997 (serial numbers HJ3100-7001 and up) are fitted with circuit breakers as well.
The exhaust air from the Hakko HJ3100 and the ambient air in the workplace should be monitored, using appropriate and adequate measuring and detection devices, to guarantee compliance with applicable OSHA and NIOSH regulations.

2. Particle filters. American Hakko offers the 999-178 cellulose particle filter as an option for the HJ3100. This filter is intended for use in grinding and shaping operations where dust and chips are produced. It is rated at 85% ASHRAE against particles of 1 micron and larger in size.
THEORY OF OPERATION. The HJ3100 is a high-mass flow, low-vacuum system, which means that it depends upon air flow across the work area for effective fume extraction. Contaminated air is captured from the workplace surrounding the soldering station by the hood or hoods, and transferred to the HJ3100 by flexible or rigid ducts.
The Hakko HJ3100 is specially engineered to remove particulate and gaseous contaminants from soldering work stations. As many as four stations may be serviced by one HJ3100, depending upon the accessories selected. The HJ3100 is a high-mass flow, low-vacuum system, which means that it uses air flow across the work area for effective fume extraction.
4. Before attaching accessories to, or starting, the HJ3100, remove the top cover and verify that all filters are properly positioned. 5. If noise in the work area is a concern, attach a 999-171 muffler to the exhaust grille of the HJ3100. This will reduce the output noise by 5 dBA.
OPTIONS. The standard HJ3100 comes without any accessories, so the user can select those most suitable to the installation. For most applications, each port of the HJ3100 can be hooked up as shown in Figure 3, below. This is a simple and direct installation providing a good degree of flexibility.

999-206-03 kits 999-173 four 3" port cover HJ3100 Figure 7. Typical installation - four port cover. The most popular application of the four-port cover uses four examples of the 999-206-03 kit, as shown here. Any other 3" accessories may be used, save the large bench-top hoods, as the air flow with four such hoods will be marginal.
OPERATION. Operating the HJ3100 is simplicity itself. Merely plug it in, turn it on, and place the ducts and hoods as required for the work station. No adjustment is necessary. The extractors, hoods and ducts are designed to efficiently remove soldering fumes, dust, particles and odors.
MAINTENANCE. The filters are the only parts of the HJ3100 that need maintenance. Figure 9, below, shows the major parts of the HJ3100. Top cover Case Pre-filter Main filter Blower Motor Power switch Circuit breaker Motor support Power cord hole Bottom cover, with feet Figure 8.
The blower wheel has come adrift from the motor shaft. This has been simulated during test and is exemplified by a marked change in the sound coming from the HJ3100. Instead of the steady whirr of a properly operating unit, it will be a high-pitched whirr accompanied by clanking noises.

The activated carbon odor and gas filter, part no. 999-182, is the same size as the HEPA/carbon filter, part no. 999-137, for interchangeability in the HJ3100. (It is also the same size as the particulate filter, part no. 999-176, for obvious reasons.) The activated carbon is made from virgin coconut-shell, with a CCl4 activity of 60% by weight (CCl4 = carbon tetrachloride).
