1.1 Emphasized Sections
Warning!
Refers to safety regulations and required safety measures that protect the operator or other
persons from injury or danger to life.
Caution!
Emphasizes what must be done or avoided so that the Unit or other property is not damaged.
Notice:
Gives recommendations for better handling of the Unit during operation or adjustment as well as
for service activities.
1.2 For Your Safety
For safe and successful operation of the Unit, read these instructions completely. If the
instructions are not observed, the manufacturer can assume no responsibility. Be sure to retain
this manual for future reference.
WARNING!
Do not use the Unit to extract easily flammable or explosive gases.
WARNING!
Do not use the Unit to extract corrosive substances.
WARNING!
Do not expose the connecting cable to heat, oil, or sharp edges.
WARNING!
Make sure the Unit stands stable and secure.
WARNING!
Use only original equipment filters.
WARNING!
Do not operate the Unit without filter inserts. Contaminants in the extracted air will damage
the blower.
WARNING!
Always disconnect the power supply before servicing the Unit.
WARNING!
Never cover intake or exhaust openings.
WARNING!
This system is equipped with automatic reset overload protection (thermal switch or overload
relay), which may cause the Unit to restart automatically. See page 4.
WARNING!
Observe general safety regulations for the handling of chemicals such as Loctite
®
adhesives
and sealants. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions as stated in the Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS).
While under warranty, the Unit may be repaired only by an authorized Loctite service
representative.
1.3 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack the Loctite®Air Filtration System and examine the items contained in the carton.
Inspect the Unit for any damage that might have occurred in transit. If such damage has occurred,

1.6 Usage
This model is ideal for providing fume extraction at the workplace. It operates very quietly and is
recommended for the connection of 1 to 4 exhaust arms or two exhaust cabinets. For low
operating costs the Unit features a large filter of 14" x 18", which reduces the frequency of filter
replacements. A differential pressure gauge indicates the filter status.
2. Description
2.1 Operating Elements and Construction
Main Switch (Foot Switch)
A foot switch is used to turn the filter unit on and off. This switch needs to be located as far away
from the filter unit as possible.
Filter Monitor
• Differential Pressure Gauge (Filter Monitor)
The differential pressure gauge monitors the filter condition by measuring the pressure
difference (pressure drop) between upstream and downstream of the particulate filters. As filter
saturation increases, the pressure drop increases and the airflow decreases.
When the pressure drop reaches a predefined level, filter maintenance should be performed.
This is generally the point where airflow is inadequate.
• Gas Phase Monitor
There is no filter monitoring system for the gas phase filter installed in this model. The
monitoring of the exhaust air according to Indoor Air Quality Standards remains the responsibility
of the operator. Please refer to Gas Phase Filter Monitoring.
