2.2. Functionality of the system The filter unit serves to suck off and filter polluted air (according to the intended use). The air is purified on the surface of the filter cartridge in the filter section of the unit. The separated dust is collected in a dust collecting tank.
3. Safety instructions 3.1. Definition of the hazard symbols The device is constructed according to the state of the art and the recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless, during use threats to life and limb of the user or other persons may arise. The impairment of the machine or other property are also possible.
WARNING Dangers arising from electricity. The operator must ensure that electrical plants and equipment are only built, modified and maintained by a qualified electrician or under the direction and supervision of a qualified electrician. Do not work on components if you are not sure that these are disconnected. If necessary, disconnect the device from the electric power supply and secure it against unauthorized restarting.
The lines must be kept as short as possible and must be laid to the extraction point in a way that optimizes the flow in order to prevent any deposits from forming in the lines. TEKA Absaug und Entsorgungstechnologie GmbH expressly draws your attention to the fact that extraction lines that have not demonstrably been configured by TEKA are not covered by the filter unit’s explosion protection documentation.
5.2. Electrical connection WARNING Explosion hazard! The conductivity of lines and system parts must be checked in order to prevent static charges from building up. Leakage resistances < 10^6 Ohm must be ensured. The Operator must ensure the equipotential bonding of the unit. To do this, use the earthing point on the back of the unit.
5.4. Connecting the compressed air supply NOTICE The compressed air must be dry and oil-free. According to ISO 8573-1:2010 the compressed air quality must at least meet: [7:4:4] ➔ Partikle size: <40µm ➔ Pressure dew point: <= +3°C ➔ Oil content: <=5mg/m³ 5.4.1.
6. Operating the system WARNING Increased risk of explosion when filter unit switched off. If the filter unit is left switched off while work is performed at the extraction points then dust may collect at the extraction points. If the dusts in question are potentially explosive then this increases the risk of explosion.
6.2. Connection of an external control There is the possibility to control the unit from extern. For this purpose, a connection is provided on the unit (see chapter 2.1). Connection plug type: Industrial connector Number of pins: Pin-Nr. Designation Explanation 1, 2 Start contact In order to switch on the filter unit, a contact has to be connected...
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. Unplug the mains plug. 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). ●...
7.3. 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.
Page 17
● Insert the new filter cartridge into the screw fastening and turn it anticlockwise to the hilt. Only use TEKA spare filters. Otherwise the proper functioning of the unit is not guaranteed. ●...
7.4. Emptying the dust collecting tank The dust collection container must be cleaned after a certain number of operating hours. This range depends on the amount of dust. The dust collecting tank may only be filled up to a maximum of 25%. The filling level has to be proofed at least once a week.
Page 19
● Open the service door of the dust collecting housing (see chapter 2.1). ● Release the two earth connections. ● Resolve the clamping lever (B) of the dust collecting tank (A). ● Carefully pull the dust collecting tank out of the housing. ●...
7.5. Draining the condensate Operation with compressed air can result in condensation water being gradually deposited in the compressed air tank. The condensed water must be emptied regularly. The maintenance interval depends heavily on the quality of the compressed air and cannot, therefore, be determined in advance. CAUTION When opening the drain valve a blast of compressed air is possible.
● Provide sufficient filter aid. We recommend using 30 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.
● Replace the particle filter. Only use TEKA spare filters. Otherwise the proper functioning of the unit is not guaranteed. ● Push the filter pack back into the filter housing as far as it will go. Make sure that the filter elements are inserted in the correct order.
Page 23
● Re-establish the two earth connections. There is a risk of explosion during operation if an earth connection is not attached. ● Close the service door. BA_LFE-101-201-301_ST1_20230808_EN 08.08.2023...
7.8. Replacing the activated carbon / the activated carbon cassette The activated carbon absorbs gases and unpleasant odours. The activated carbon has to be replaced as soon as gases appear on the clean air side. Therefore, replace the activated carbon in the activated carbon cassette. Alternatively, you can replace the entire activated carbon cassette.
Page 25
Gradually fill with a number of smaller quantities of activated carbon, spreading it out evenly and gently pressing down on it as you do so. Only use TEKA spare filters. Otherwise the proper functioning of the unit is not guaranteed. ●...
Page 26
● Screw the cover back on again. When you do this, the cover must press the top filter fleece mat against the support surface of the activated carbon cassette all the way round. ● Push the filter pack back into the filter housing.
● Replace the activated carbon cassette. Only use TEKA spare filters. Otherwise the proper functioning of the unit is not guaranteed. ● Push the filter pack back into the filter housing. Make sure that the filter elements are inserted in the correct order.
7.9. Replacing the cooling air filters of the turbines The cooling air filters of the turbines must be checked regularly for pollution and they must be replaced when necessary (see list of spare parts). ● Open the service door of the turbine housing. This is only possible by means of a special electrical spanner.
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.
7.12. Check/replace the dust filters for underpressure measurement lines Due to the accumulation of dust inside the filter housing, it is possible that dust may enter into any measurement lines. Each of the measurement lines is equipped with a dust filter to protect the measurement sensors against contact with dust.
8. ATEX operation The following ATEX zoning and ignition source analysis is applied to the filter unit. 8.1. ATEX zoning Area Ex zone Reason/Cause Dusts Installation location No zone Installation not permitted in areas at risk of (environment) explosion, see: Intended use Suction line - Zone 20 Entry of dust via the extraction points / varying...
