Safety The LAS 260.1 has been built in accordance with the state of the art and is safe to operate. Nonetheless, the device can still present potential hazards if it is used by untrained personnel improperly or for purposes for which it is not designed. During the development and manufacture of the LAS 260.1, every step has been taken to ensure compliance with the safety requirements of the directives and standards listed in the EU...
General safety instructions DANGER The Extraction and Filtration Unit LAS 260.1 must only be used, serviced, and repaired by persons who are familiar with the unit and who have been instructed on potential hazards. These persons must also know the intended use and the operating instructions.
Obligations of the operating The operating company agrees to only permit persons to work company on the LAS 260.1 who: Are familiar with the legislation and requirements relating to occupational health & safety and accident prevention; Have read and understood the safety and warning signs and have confirmed this with their signature.
Safety instructions for fire hazards The Extraction Unit LAS 260.1 is designed solely for the extraction of airborne dusts and gases produced during laser DANGER machining in non-flammable concentrations. The filtration system is designed for the separation of dusts and gases that are not potentially explosive.
Saturated filter materials must always be disposed of in accordance with the applicable waste regulations. Always use genuine replacement parts and wear parts from ULT AG. Improper interventions or tampering pose a significant safety risk. Never use jet washing equipment to clean the LAS 260.1.

Do not use the LAS 260.1 if the mains connection cable is not in perfect working order. Always use a genuine replacement part when replacing the mains connection cable. During commissioning, make sure that no foreign objects (cleaning cloths, tools, or similar) can be sucked Refrain from all methods of working that might impair or endanger the safety of personnel, the unit, or the working area and its surroundings.
Residual hazards CAUTION Hazard prevention – All moving parts (fan, motor) are protected with fixed and mechanical systems securely mounted guards that can only be removed with tools. RESIDUAL RISK: Severe injuries can be caused if a fixed, securely mounted guard or trim panel is removed with tools while the unit is running.

Function and operation Intake nozzle Outlet grille Air distribution Vacuum generator Filter The blower installed in the LAS 260.1 generates a vacuum at the intake connector or at the relevant connected collection elements. As a result, impurities in the air can be collected and sucked out directly at the point of creation.
Device variant and application Application LAS The LAS 260.1 is used for extraction and filtration of dry and non-combustible dusts in air mixtures that are not potentially explosive and are produced during laser machining processes. Areas of application: Laser cutting Laser engraving Laser structuring Laser sintering...
Transport and storage LAS 260.1 is designed to be transported in a vertical NOTICE position. The following conditions must be met during transport and storage: Temperature: -25 °C to +55 °C Temporarily (max. 24 hrs): Up to +70 °C Humidity: 10% - 80% relative humidity (non- condensing) Installation...
Moving the unit CAUTION Before moving the unit to a new location, first switch it off and disconnect the mains plug. The casters allow the unit to be easily moved without having to lift it. The device can be pushed or pulled to the required new location.
Electrical connection Use the supplied mains plug to connect the unit to the AC mains network 110 V … 240 V / 50/60 Hz. The supply line must be protected with a fuse of at least 16 A. Harmonic currents The units in the LAS 260.1 series are professional units for use in commercial and industrial environments.
Commissioning Unpack the LAS 260.1 and set up the unit. Open the door catches on the sidewall of the enclosure and open the filter chamber door. Check that the filter cassettes are securely mounted. Close the filter chamber door again. Connect the hose.
NOTICE During initial commissioning, set the suction power to 100% at the potentiometer, fully open all intake openings, and run the unit for approx. 2 minutes. If the LED status ring flashes red after initial commissioning, then you should check whether the filter is correctly seated. Afterwards you can carry on working normally with individual suction power settings.
Operating modes The Extraction and Filtration System LAS 260.1 can be operated in standard operating mode or in remote operation (connection of a higher-level machine to the M12 interface). Standard operating mode In standard operating mode, operation of the Extraction and Filtration System LAS 260.1 takes place solely via the operating controls on the front and rear of the machine.
Page 26
® ecoflow CS ® The LAS 260.1 has one switchable ecoflow CS controller (S3 switch) for demand-driven adjustment of the suction power in medium-pressure and high-pressure operation. Increased filter saturation and varying numbers of collection points during ongoing operation (e.g. open or closed extraction arms) are automatically compensated for by increasing or reducing the blower speed.
Page 27
® S3 switch for ecoflow CS S3 switch is in the position “0” “OFF” o ecoflow CS ® Control range of the potentiometer in position “0” The suction power can be individually adjusted via the potentiometer on the front of the unit. Clockwise rotation allows you to continuously increase the suction power, while counter-clockwise rotation continuously reduces the suction power.
Remote operation In remote mode, the Extraction and Filtration System LAS 260.1 can be controlled by a higher-level machine via the communication interface M12. The higher-level machine can then switch on the LAS 260.1 and set it into standby mode. Prerequisite for remote operation: The higher-level machine is connected via the communication interface M12 to the LAS 260.1.
Check of the suction pipe system Check of the collection device Yearly main inspection By arrangement with ULT AG the main inspection can be performed by ULT Service. By arrangement with ULT AG, further measures that go beyond the scope of the points outlined above can be performed by ULT Service.
Filter change Maintenance of the device is limited to the inspection of filter saturation and replacement of the filter. The LED status ring indicates the status of the particulate filters (pre-filter and main filter). Filter saturation can also be reported via the M12 interface to a higher-level control.
DANGER During all work on the opened unit, substances that are harmful to health can be released from the filter elements and come into contact with persons. Any released dusts must be removed with an extraction device that has at least the same filter class as this unit and is equipped with a suitable collection device.
