OPERATION
This page contains the same information as the Quick Start guide provided with your VertEx.
Prior to use
Check the system logbook to ensure no routine maintenance is required.
General use
To use VertEx, ensure it is plugged in to a mains socket and the socket is switched on. Turn on the switch on
the front of the bench.
If a speed controller is fitted, turn it to full power before switching on, then adjust it to an appropriate level. Our
recommended settings are shown below:
Fume: 50-75% Light dusts, 50-100% Heavy dusts, 75-100%
During commissioning, an optimum setting may have been determined and this should be noted in the system
logbook.
Note that the fan will take some time to initialise and come to maximum power. Extraction is not fully effective
until the fan has reached full power.
Check the filter pressure gauge on the front of the unit. If the needle on the gauge is showing in the upper red
zone, check the filter condition
– they may require cleaning or replacement. This can also be checked against
the filter inspection pressure drop readings in the Commissioning Certificate.
Your VertEx has a zone in front of the surface in which capture is most effective, extending approximately 1m
forwards in normal use when no enclosure is fitted. This zone forms a box in which you should aim to do the
majority of your work. Working outside this zone may reduce the effectiveness of the extraction. If an enclosure
is fitted, you should aim where possible to work within the enclosure.
Continue to work as normal, aiming to work within the extraction zone described above. On completion of
work, switch the VertEx off using the switch on the front.
Record any maintenance you have undertaken, or any that is required, in the logbook.
To avoid fan overload, do not block more than 50% of the face or the air outlet.
