Function of the TEKA-LMD 508
The TEKA - LMD 508 filter equipment is primarily used for localised extraction of dust, smoke
particles and gases. For this purpose, the unit is equipped with two flexible extractor hoses, or an
extractor fitting that is appropriate to the application.
Limits of application:
welding fumes with oil mist, aluminium dust, grinding dust, extraction of metallic dust, water etc.
(If you are uncertain, please contact the manufacturer!)
The polluted air is gathered in by the extractor fitting and transported to the filter equipment through
the extractor hose. Coarse dust particles are then filtered out in the prefilter matting (Pos.13). The
following particle filter (fine filter, Pos.14) extracts the extremely fine smoke particles with an
efficiency of better than 99%. In a further filter stage, the activated-carbon cassette (Pos.15)
adsorbs the gaseous pollutants. The filtered air is then sucked in by the turbines and returned to
the air in the environment through the exhaust mesh on the sound absorption module.
The LMD 508 filter unit can be connected to an external filter monitoring through the Harting or
Sub-D 9-pin socket (Pos.21) (available as an option).
Warning:
As soon as the airflow resistance of the filter has increased to the point where the suction force
decreases, the filter must be replaced, because it is clogged with the extracted dust and smoke
particles.
(see Section 7.1: “Replacing the prefilter matting”, Section 7.2: “Replacing the particle filter”
and
Section 7.3: “Replacing the activated-carbon cassette”)
4 Safety instructions
When using electrical equipment, the following basic safety rules must be observed, for protection
against electric shock, injury, or fire hazards.
•
Before using the equipment, read and observe these instructions!
•
Keep the operating and maintenance instructions in a safe place!
•
Never use the equipment to extract easily inflammable or explosive gases!
•
Do not employ the unit for setting it in explosive zones, e.g. zone 0, zone 1, zone 2, zone 20,
zone 21, zone 22!
•
Do not employ the unit for sucking off burning or glowing materials, e.g. cigarettes, matches,
metallic types of dust and/or splinters, paper, cleaning cloths, etc.!
•
Do not employ the unit for sucking off burning and/or inflammatory materials, e.g. oils and/or oil
mist, fats, parting agent (e.g. silicone spray), cleaning agent, etc.!
•
Never use the equipment for the extraction of corrosive substances!
•
Never use the equipment to suck up any kind of liquid!
•
Do not use the equipment for the extraction of organic substances without written approval from
the manufacturer!
•
Protect the connectors from heat, moisture, oil, and sharp edges!
•
Keep to the permitted supply voltage! (Observe the data on the nameplate!)
•
Use only TEKA replacement parts!
