2.3. Intended use The device is intended for commercial use. If the device is made publicly accessible, it must never be operated unsupervised by authorized personnel, authorized by the operator. The filter unit is intended for extraction and filtration of dusts and fumes that result from thermal joining and cutting of metals.
NOTICE NOTICE These instructions are made in case of risks that can lead to material damages. Information notes are no hazard warnings; they call attention to useful information. 3.2. General safety instructions WARNING Dangers arising from improper use / unauthorised operations. The operator must ensure that their authorised personnel are familiar with all the safety indications in this manual in advance.
4. Storage, transport and installation of the device WARNING Risk of injury from tilting or unmounted components when stored or transported. The device must be secured against tilting and slipping when it is stored or transported. Do not stand under or next to the floating load. Lift trucks, forklift trucks and transport cranes must have a sufficient minimum load bearing capacity.
5. Commissioning WARNING Dangers arising from a defective condition of the unit. Make sure that the measures described in this chapter are completed before the commissioning of the unit. All doors of the unit must be closed and all necessary connections must be attached before turning the unit on.
If this has not already been carried out by TEKA, a suitably qualified employee must be consulted. If the suction line includes extraction elements (e.g. suction arms, pipe grills, etc.), these must also be included in the layout.
5.2. Electrical connection WARNING Risk of electric shock. Electrical plants and equipment may only be built, modified and maintained by a qualified electrician or under the direction and supervision of a qualified electrician. Do not work on live electrical components and elements if you are not sure that these are indeed disconnected.
5.3. Precoating of the filter cartridges For a longer service life of the filter cartridges they are pretreated with a filter aid in the factory. If the fan unit and the filter unit of the filter device are only connected to one another on site, then the filter cartridges have not yet been pretreated at the factory.
6. Operating the system 6.1. Explanation of the operating elements Control functions, setting options for programs, menu navigation, error messages, etc. are described in the enclosed operating manual of the unit control. There is also an explanation of the elements of the control panel. Operating elements for the device control Representa Designation...
7. Maintenance In accordance with national regulations, the operator is obliged to carry out repeat and functional tests. Unless otherwise specified by national regulations, we recommend regular visual inspections and functional tests of the device as described in the chapter “Maintenance intervals”. You find the chapter “Maintenance intervals”...
7.1 Reset to maintenance state ● Switch off the unit. Then disconnect the unit from the power supply by setting the main switch in the “OFF” position. Secure the unit against unauthorized restarting during maintenance. ● Disconnect the compressed air hose of the external compressed air supply from the insert sleeve (see chapter 2.1).
7.2. Cleaning the filter cartridges CAUTION A sudden jet of compressed air and huge amounts of whirled up dust are possible due to an automatic cleaning with an opened service door. During the operation of the device, the service door of the filter housing must not be opened. The same applies to the ready to operate condition (standby) as there is also the possibility of an automatic cleaning (subsequent cleaning).
7.3. Replacing the filter cartridges Replacing the filter cartridges becomes necessary when the filter cartridges are saturated with dirt in a manner that despite of the cleaning the filter alarm is triggered again at very short intervals or permanently. (The filter alarm is described in chapter “Cleaning the filter cartridges”.) CAUTION Whirling up dust is possible due to the polluted filter cartridges.

● We recommend that two people work together to replace the filter cartridges. ● We recommend spreading out a protective film in order to keep the area around the unit clean. ● The filter cartridges may only be replaced in well-ventilated rooms and while wearing an appropriate respiratory mask! We recommend: Respiratory protection half mask DIN EN 141/143...

● Pull the disposal bag over the cartridge holder and filter cartridge. ● Unhook the cartridge holder from the cartridge guides. ● Remove the cartridge holder with the filter cartridge and the disposal bag from the filter housing. ● Briefly lift the filter cartridge in order to release it from the cartridge holder.
Page 19
● First of all, remove all the filter cartridges as described in the steps above. ● Only then should you start to install the new filter cartridges. Only use TEKA replacement filters. Otherwise the correct functioning of the unit is not guaranteed.

● Insert the displacer into the new filter cartridge in such a way that the displacer’s screw passes through the opening in the base of the filter cartridge. Check whether the seal is in contact at the thread of the displacer and that it is undamaged.

● Insert the new filter cartridge in the cartridge holder. When you do this, the cylindrical nut must be placed on the fixing screw. ● Then insert the second, loose side of the cartridge holder in the corresponding cartridge guide. ●...
Before emptying the dust collecting tank hold ready an appropriate container (e.g. PE bag). The bags are optionally available at TEKA, see list of spare parts. We recommend having PE bags in stock. ●...
● Place a new dust collection bag in the dust collection container so that the bag is put over the edge of the dust collection container. Therefore place the slip-on frame back on the dust collecting tank. ● Push the dust collecting tank back into the dust collecting housing. ●...
● Provide sufficient filter aid. We recommend using 10 grams for each square metre of the filter surface. The filter aid is available at TEKA (see list of spare parts). ● Choose the capture point in the suction pipe that is the closest to the filter cartridges. E.g. an inspection flap can be used as a capture point.
7.6.1. Feeding the precoat via a FVS (TEKA spark pre-separator) This chapter is only relevant if the filter unit is equipped with a FVS (TEKA spark pre-separator). A FVS is a water separator installed in the suction pipe of the filter unit.
If the controller now still reports a “particle sensor” error message then the detector head must be replaced. Replacement parts are available from TEKA, see the spare parts list. In this case, it is not necessary to replace the assembly base which is screwed to the unit.
● Replace the old filter mat with a new one. The blue side must face outwards. Only use TEKA spare filters. Otherwise the proper functioning of the unit is not guaranteed. ● Close the louvred grille until it audibly clicks into place.
A recommissioning of the device must only occur if it is ensured that the system is functionally equivalent to the original state. Repairs may only be carried out by TEKA personnel or, after consultation with TEKA GmbH, by the personnel authorised by the operator.

10. List of spare parts Below, you will find a list of the various filter cartridges that can be installed in units of this type. We recommend that you order the filter cartridges that were supplied on initial delivery of the unit. Otherwise, the cleaning performance or lifetime of the filter cartridges may be impaired (due to differences in the filter material or filter surface area).
