Filter Module

Inside the Filter Module, there are three major
components: The Pre-Filter (1), Primary Filter (2), and
the Blower Motor (4). Inside, there are sensors that
detect if the filter(s) are saturated or the Blower Motor is
malfunctioning. FOR HIGH PRODUCTION
ENVIRONMENTS, WE RECOMMEND KEEPING A
SPARE PRE-FILTER, MAIN FILTER, AND VACUUM
MOTOR ON HAND AT ALL TIMES.
Pre-Filter
The Pre-Filter (1) is the only part of the Filter Module
that can be serviced. It should be inspected and/or
cleaned every 8 hours of engraving. To inspect, grasp
the metal hook, pull out the filter and hold it up to a light
source. You should be able to see light through it. If it
is saturated, remove the material out of the frame and clean the filter material with a soap and water
solution. If the filter material is not cleanable, then it will need to be replaced. After letting it dry or using
a new piece of filter material, re-install it back into the frame and back into the Filter Module. The
software will prompt you if it detects that the Pre-Filter is saturated.
Main Filter
The software will also prompt you if the Main Filter is almost completely saturated. The software will allow
you to continue to run the system for a short time after you have received the first notice that it is almost
saturated. Once it detects complete saturation, it will not permit further use of the system until the Main
Filter is changed. The Main Filter is not cleanable and it must be replaced. To replace this filter, grasp it
and slide it out. Install the new filter by first removing any plastic wrapping and sliding the filter into the
Filter Module. Rotate the Main Filter until the Arrow is pointing straight up.
Vacuum Motor
If the life of the Vacuum Motor has come to an end, replacement will be required. The software will
prompt you if the motor is not working. To remove the Vacuum Motor, POWER OFF the system and
unplug it from your electrical outlet. Remove the two thumbscrews (5), grasp the plate, and pull the motor
frame out of the Filter Module. Install the new Vacuum Motor by pushing it into the Filter Module the
same way it came out. Attach and tighten the thumbscrews.
