Read these instructions and the accompanying safety information carefully before starting up the
device and starting work with the device.
Keep these instructions in a place that is accessible to all users.
Safety informatione
WARNING!
Even when using an extraction system, the statutory pollutant limits at the workplace must be complied with and regularly checked by the operator of the extraction system
Specified Conditions Of Useg
The Weller solder fume extraction system is equipped with a maintenance-free compressed air converter for vacuum generation and is, therefore, ideally suited for continuous industrial operation. The compressed air converter is designed sufficiently to extract the soldering fumes from 2 Weller Fumex-Extraction soldering irons.
FT12 - The solder fume extraction (FT12) is not suitable for extracting flammable gas.
This filtration system is suitable for the extraction and filtration of particles and gases, depending on the filter medium used.
The unit is designed for extracting fumes directly from the soldering gun and is not suitable for use as a surface extraction unit.
This device may only be used at room temperature and indoors.
WARNING! | Danger of asphyxiation ,Danger of
poisoning
Improper use may result in respiratory problems, asphyxiation, poisoning or cancer
Particles and gases which are unsuitable for the filter medium in use may not be extracted.
Liquids and flammable gases may not be extracted
WARNING! Fire and explosion hazard!
The unit is not permitted to be used for the extraction of inflammable gases.
The unit must not be exposed to temperatures above 50^ C, naked flame or condensed solvents.
The organisation operating the unit is responsible for the observance of the legal limits for noxious substances at the place of work.
The filtration system may only be put into operation if it is in perfect working order.
Intended use of the soldering station/ desoldering station also includes the requirement that you
- adhere to these instructions,
- observe all other accompanying documents,
- observe all other accompanying documents,
- comply with national accident prevention guidelines applicable at the place of use.
The manufacturer will not be liable for unauthorized modifications to the device.
Operation
WFE
The vacuum hoses of the FE soldering irons are connected directly to the solder fume extraction WFE.
Cleaned, dry compressed air (3.5 bar - 6 bar) is required to operate the WFE. It is possible to switch off the compressed air by means of a shut-off valve at the compressed air connection of the unit.
Shut-off valve possible at the compressed air connection of the device.
A built-in lift for filter replacement allows the filter cartridge and pre-filter to be replaced easily without tools.
The installed 3-stage filter – fine dust filter F7, particle filter class E12 and broadband gas filter (50% activated carbon, 50% Puratex) – is matched to the extraction of soldering fumes in this combination. Particle filter and gas filter are included in the main filter cartridge. Both filter elements are disposable filters, whereby the fine dust filter (pre-filter) can be replaced several times before the main filter cartridge has to be renewed.
Together with the exhaust air filter (activated carbon), which absorbs odours caused by compressed air, the WFE is used as a recirculation unit. It is not necessary to discharge the exhaust air.
FT12
To remove the compressed air hose, press the release ring of the quick coupling and pull out the hose.
The installed 3-stage filter – fine dust filter, F7 particle filter and broadband gas filter (50% activated carbon, 50% Puratex) – is matched in this combination to the extraction of soldering fumes. Particle filter and gas filter are included in the main filter cartridge. Both filter elements are disposable filters, whereby the fine dust filter (pre-filter) can be replaced several times. The main filter cartridge must be replaced after max. 12 months.
Together with the exhaust air filter (activated carbon), which absorbs odours caused by compressed air, the FT12 is used as a recirculation unit. It is not necessary to discharge the exhaust air.
WARNING
Even when using an extraction system, the statutory pollutant limits at the workplace must be complied with and regularly checked by the operator of the extraction system.
Care and maintenance
WARNING!
Before maintenance work, the unit must be depressurised. To ensure that the device works as correctly, the vacuum tube and the extraction hose of the FE soldering iron must be cleaned on a regular basis. If heavily soiled, the extraction tube can be placed in a sealed, gastight container and soaked in cleaning alcohol (ethanol) until the flux residues have dissolved.
WARNING!
Legal safety regulations on the handling of cleaning products must be observed when using such products. The cleaning product should be treated as hazardous waste.
If the extraction capacity is no longer sufficient with cleaned FE soldering irons, the filters must be checked.
The pre-filter can be replaced several times before the main filter has to be renewed.
If original Weller filters are used properly, the service life of the particle filter and broadband gas filter are matched to each other.
Before fitting the new main filter cartridge, it should be marked with the installation date. The assembly of the unit is done in reverse order.
Warning: When inserting the filters, pay attention to the correct order and the installation position. The dirty filters must be treated as hazardous waste.
Repairs must always be referred to a Weller-trained specialist.
Use original replacement parts only.
Filter change
MIN 1x
The suspended matter filter and the broadband gas filter are complementary to one another and can be replaced together as a compact filter. The fine dust filter (filter mat) is the preliminary stage of the compact filter and therefore must be replaced more frequently. It is strongly recommended that the compact filter be replaced after no more
than 10 fine dust filter changes.
To ensure that the filtration system functions properly, the filter must be replaced as follows:
• at least once a year or
- if the maximum allowable workplace concentration is exceeded or
• as per maintenance schedule
Contaminated filters must be treated as special waste. Wear suitable protective gear.
Notice
Different fluxes and flux constituents and the amount of and size of dust particles in the extracted air will signifi cantly effect the filters working life. Submicron particles in the extracted air increase when soldering or welding to varnish insulated wire.
Warranty
Claims by the buyer for physical defects are time-barred after a period of one year from delivery to the buyer. This does not apply to claims by the buyer for indemnification in accordance with §§ 478, 479 BGB (German Federal Law Gazette).
We shall only be liable for claims arising from a warranty furnished by us if the quality or durability warranty has been furnished by use in writing and using the term „Warranty“.
The warranty shall be void if damage is due to improper use and if the device has been tampered with by unauthorized persons.
Subject to technical alterations and amendments.
