Frequently Asked Questions - Prism Mobile LINCOLN ELECTRIC

What is the Lincoln Electric Prism Mobile used for?

The Prism Mobile is a portable welding fume extractor designed to capture and filter fumes from common welding processes such as MIG/MAG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), Stick (MMA/SMAW), and Flux-Cored (FCAW). It is suitable for light to medium duty intermittent welding applications.

What filter options are available for the Prism Mobile?

The base unit comes with a MERV 14 disposable LongLife filter cartridge (treated). Optional upgrades include MERV 16 and HEPA H13 filters. The mechanized cleaning version uses a self-cleaning cartridge available in MERV 14 or MERV 16.

How often should I replace the filter?

Replace the filter when the Filter Maintenance Indicator turns red, when airflow is noticeably reduced, or after the recommended consumable usage: approximately 1,500 lbs (700 kg) for GMAW/GTAW or 1,100 lbs (500 kg) for SMAW/FCAW (base unit). For mechanized cleaning, replace when the alarm persists after offline cleaning.

Can I use the unit without an extraction arm?

No, the Prism Mobile requires either a flexible extraction arm (10 ft or 13 ft manual or automatic) or the optional Hose and Hood Set (K1668-3) for proper fume capture. Operating without an extraction system is not recommended.

How does the automatic start/stop feature work?

Automatic models have an integrated Arc Sensor in the hood that detects the welding arc. When welding starts, the fan turns on automatically. After welding stops, the fan continues for approximately 60 seconds to clear residual fumes, then shuts off automatically.

What maintenance is required regularly?

Regular maintenance includes checking the Filter Maintenance Indicator monthly, cleaning the pre-filter and filter compartment with an industrial vacuum cleaner, inspecting the flexible hose and power cord before each use, and performing an offline cleaning cycle (for mechanized models) at least twice a week.

How do I clean the filter on the base unit?

For the base unit, the pre-filter can be cleaned with a power washer or vacuum cleaner. The LongLife filter cartridge is disposable and should be replaced when saturated; do not clean it. Always wear PPE (gloves, respirator) during filter handling.

What is the maximum airflow of the Prism Mobile?

The base unit delivers a maximum airflow of 800 CFM (1,360 m³/h). The mechanized cleaning version has a slightly lower maximum of 735 CFM (1,250 m³/h) due to the cleaning system.

What is the sound level of the unit?

The sound level is 69 dB(A) for both 120V and 230V models, measured according to ISO 3746. This is relatively quiet for an industrial fume extractor.

Does the mechanized cleaning version require compressed air?

Yes, the PRISM MOBILE WITH MECHANIZED CLEANING requires a compressed air supply of 70-120 PSI (5-8 bar), regulated to 65-70 PSI (4.5-5 bar). The air must be dry and oil-free (ISO 8573-3 Class 6). Maximum consumption is 2.1 SCFM (60 NL/min).

ARC WELDING CAN BE HAZARDOUS

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING.

Read and understand the following safety highlights. For additional safety information, it is strongly recommended that you purchase a copy of "Safety in Welding & Cutting - ANSI Standard Z49.1" from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2. A Free copy of "Arc Welding Safety" booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199.

BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

FOR ENGINE POWERED EQUIPMENT

- Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running.

- Do not add the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated.

- Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment.

• In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. REMOVE GUARDS ONLY when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when working near moving parts.
• DO NOT put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running.
  • To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turning the engine or welding generator during maintenance work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wire as appropriate.

• To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot.
- Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
• Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
- NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.
- ONLY use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors and vents.

- Avoid other generator hazards. READ MANUAL BEFORE USE.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY BE DANGEROUS

• Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines.

• EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician before welding.
• Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects which are now not known. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

• Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure them with tape when possible.

• Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

• Do not place your body between the electrode and work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side.
• Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.
• Do not work next to welding power source.

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL

- The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically "hot" when the welder is on. Do not touch these "hot" parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

• Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use the following equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
  • DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
  • AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
• In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically "hot".
  • Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded. The connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
• Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth) ground.
• Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace damaged insulation.

• Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

• Never simultaneously touch electrically "hot" parts of electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both welders.

• When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
• Also see WELDING AND CUTTING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION and FOR ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT

ARC RAYS CAN BURN

- Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should conform to ANSI Z87.1 standards.

• Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.
• Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS

Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.

- When welding hardfacing (see instructions on container or SDS) or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation unless exposure assessments indicate otherwise. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may

also be required. Additional precautions are also required when welding on galvanized steel.

• The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected by various factors including proper use and positioning of the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure level should be checked upon installation and periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.
• Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
• Shielding gases used for welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
• Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be used, including the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and follow your employer's safety practices. SDS forms are available from your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.
  • Also see FOR ENGINE POWERED EQUIPMENT

WELDING AND CUTTING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION

- Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

- Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations. Refer to "Safety in Welding and Cutting" (ANSI Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the equipment being used.

• When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
• Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to ensure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society.
• Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.
• Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuff-less trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
• Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
• Read and follow NFPA 51B "Standard for Fire Prevention During Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work", available from NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, MA 022690-9101.
• DO NOT use a welding power source for pipe thawing.

CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED

- Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition.

• Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

Cylinders should be located:

• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage.
• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
• Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically "hot" parts to touch a cylinder.
• Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
• Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.
• Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-I, "Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders," available from the Compressed Gas Association, 14501 George Carter Way Chantilly, VA 20151.

FOR ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT

- Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box before working on the equipment.

• Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code and the manufacturer's recommendations.

- When the Filter Maintenance Indicator is red, replace the LongLife filter cartridge. See PRISM MOBILE FILTER REPLACEMENT on page B-11 for description.

Figure 5 : FILTER MAINTENANCE INDICATOR

PRISM® MOBILE WITH MECHANIZED CLEANING AUTOMATIC FILTER CLEANING SYSTEM

Control light: CLEANING

During normal operation (i.e. with a clean, non-saturated filter cartridge), the PRISM® MOBILE WITH MECHANIZED CLEANING (/ HE) functions fully automatically. As soon as a minimum airflow has been reached as a result of the clogging, the pressure difference switch activates the rotating and pulsating compressed air cleaning system which subsequently cleans the filter using controlled jets of compressed air. The particulate then falls into the dust tray.

During the automatic cleaning process the control light (refer to Figure 3: MECHANIZED CLEANING CONTROL PANEL on page B-5, item D) is on ("CLEANING"). The cleaning system stops when the airflow is sufficient again.

This procedure is called online cleaning.

When no welding takes place during the automatic cleaning process, the fan will start running during 30 seconds after every four compressed air jets to check the pressure difference. This happens max. 15 times.

When the airflow hasn't reached the required airflow rate after 60 compressed air jets, the control light will change into the "ALARM" mode.

• In this case, proceed with section 5.2.2.

Control light: ALARM

When the control light (refer to Figure 3: MECHANIZED CLEANING CONTROL PANEL on page B-5, item D) blinks ("ALARM"), proceed as follows.

• Stop welding.
• Press filter cleaning ON / OFF - RESET button (refer to Figure 3 : MECHANIZED CLEANING CONTROL PANEL on page B-5, item E) to stop the control light from blinking.
• Make sure the FAN ON / OFF switch (refer to Figure 3 : MECHANIZED CLEANING CONTROL PANEL on page B-5, item C) is off.
• Close throttle valve in extraction hood (refer to Figure 4: HOOD HANDLE AND POWER SWITCH on page B-6, item A).
• Press filter cleaning ON / OFF - RESET button again (refer to Figure 3 : MECHANIZED CLEANING CONTROL PANEL on page B-5, item E) to start off-line cleaning.

During the off-line cleaning cycle the entire filter cartridge is cleaned systematically by compressed air jets. This cycle takes approx. one hour.

After the cleaning cycle is finished, system operation can be continued.

When you continue welding and the control light starts blinking again immediately or shortly after the cleaning cycle is finished, the LongLife filter cartridge is saturated and should be replaced.

Off-line cleaning

Run a manual off-line cleaning routine minimum twice a week. The most convenient cleaning interval is a matter of experience.

To carry out an off-line cleaning cycle, proceed as follows.

- Make sure the FAN ON / OFF switch (refer to Figure 3 : MECHANIZED CLEANING CONTROL PANEL on page B-5, item C) is off.

OPERATION

ATTENTION
	For more efficient filter cleaning, it is recommended to carry out an off-line cleaning cycle on a regular basis.

Run a manual off-line cleaning routine minimum twice a week. The most convenient cleaning interval is a matter of experience.

ATTENTION
	For off-line cleaning after working hours, make sure compressed air is connected and available.

ATTENTION
	The off-line cleaning cycle takes approx. one hour. Do not use the machine during the off-line cleaning cycle.
