Application And Mode Of Operation; Safety Instructions; Placing Into Operation - Kemper Filter-Cell XL Manual

1. Application and Mode of Operation

The KEMPER Filter-Master XL is designed for the extraction of hazardous substances, which are produced by different welding works.
Basically the machine can be used for all operations where particles of hazardous substances, i.e. fumes and dusts will be discharged.
You have to observe that no sparks (e.g. during grinding) may be absorbed into the filter unit.
The released hazardous substances are collected by an detection device and are led into the filter unit with the extracted airflow.
Here the particles of hazardous substances are intercepted at the surface of the installed filter cartridges. The particles, which are collected at
the filter cartridges, are discharged by automatic compressed-air impetus. They drop into a dust collection container and can be taken out for
disposal. The cleaned air will be extracted by a fan and led back into the working room via a silencer.
• For extraction of carcinogenic welding dusts (e.g. materials containing nickel or chromates)
you have to observe the regulations of TRGS 560 (Technical regulations for hazardous
substances).

2. Safety Instructions

Caution:
When using electrical equipment you have to take notice of basic safety instructions for the protection against electro shock,
injury- and fire danger!
Please read through and take notice of the following instructions before operating the unit!
• Keep the operation and maintenance manual handy so that the user can read it if necessary.
• Please read through this manual before operating the unit and make sure that you have comprehended all information.
• The unit may only be transported upright and has to be secured against tipping, shocks and water.
• Don't use the unit for extracting easy flammable or explosive gases or dusts as e.g. aluminium dust and wood dust.
• Do not extract aqueous steam with this filter unit.
• The machine always has to be installed safely.
• Check the filter unit regularly for any damages.
• Always use original replacement filters and other spare parts.
• Never operate the machine without filter cartridges. Air contaminations lead to damages to s.o.'s health
or faulty function of the filter unit!
• Pull the power plug before opening the filter unit.
• Protect the machine against moistness and humidity.
• Protect the machine against any item (e.g. welding rod) getting into the suction and insufflations slot.
• Always read the specifications on the type plate.
• Don't use the unit to extract oil mist containing welding fumes, as well as during the WIG welding procedure of stainless steel.
• Protect the connecting cable against heat, oil and damages by sharp edges.

3. Placing into Operation

• Before use, ensure that the blowout shield is fitted to this unit using the screws supplied.
Install with the blowout direction upwards. See illustration.
• Read the instructions on the type plate.
• Connect the filter unit to the power supply via the CEE plug.
• Switch the filter unit on and off. In the display in the lower part of the filter unit you can check
the sense of direction of the impeller wheel. The sense of direction of the impeller wheel has to
be the same as indicated by the arrow direction on the housing. If the sense of rotation is incorrect
please get an authorized electrician to change two phases in the CEE plug of the unit.
• Connect the unit to the compressed air supply via an air hose with a coupler. The compressed air
connection plug is located at the back side of the unit. You have to provide clean, dry and oilfree
compressed air at a pressure of 4 - 6 bar.
• Please observe that the extracted air can pour out of the unit without barriers.
• The filter unit can be switched on by the motor protection switch.
