WARNING WARNING TEXT
WARNING - HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
The lter unit works with a high electrical voltage. The electrical installation must
be performed by qualied electricians. Disconnect the power supply to the lter
unit before it is opened and/or before starting work on the lter unit.
WARNING - DO NOT CONNECT THE FILTER UNIT TO EXPLOSIVE GASES!
Do not connect the lter unit to processing machines that can bring about an
explosion risk. Furthermore, the lter unit must not be connected to media that are
highly inammable without preventative measures being taken to stop the spread
of the explosion or re to the lter unit.
CAUTION - READ AND UNDERSTAND THE USER’S MANUAL!
Read and understand the user guide before working on the lter unit.
CAUTION - QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY!
All work concerning transport, installation and maintenance must be performed by
qualied personnel.
RISK OF TRAPPING INJURY!
Do not insert your hand into the lter unit when the fan is running. Do not wear
loosely hanging clothing near the fan when operational. These can be sucked into
the fan or get caught.
HEAVY PRODUCTS!
Filter cassettes are heavy. Check the current weight of the lter cassette before
handling. Weight details can be found on the lter cassette’s rating plate and under
heading 11“Handling the lter cassettes”.
Lifting equipment or the like must be used during service and inspection
work above the ground.
RISK OF SLIPPING!
Keep the oor clean. Remove oil spill to prevent injury due to slipping.
HIGH NOISE LEVELS!
If the noise level at the control panel/workplace exceeds 75 dB(A) ear protection
must be worn.
DANGEROUS FLUIDS!
Use requisite personal safety equipment with all types of service work, as the lter

5.1 FUNCTION A•mist10C
Contaminated air is sucked into the inlet on the
side of the assembled unit. For this version of the
A•mist10C unit, the ltering process occurs in one
stage only. There are dierent lter cassettes to suit
dierent applications available. Depending on the
type of the chosen cassette, the constant collecting
eciency varies from 83 up to 93%. Thanks to the
continuous draining of the lter cassette, the unit
can be operated without interruption 24-7. The
returned oil is collected at the bottom of the lter
for recycling.
The air is then extracted through the fan, after
which it is usually clean enough to be returned
directly to the premises.
An electronic manometer indicates when the lter
cassette needs to be washed or replaced. A signal
from the electronic manometer can also be transfe-
rred from the unit to somewhere externally.
5.2 FUNCTION A•mist10C WITH HEPA
Contaminated air is sucked into the inlet on the
side of the assembled unit. For this version of the
A•mist10C unit, the ltering process occurs in two
stages. Thanks to the continuous draining of the
Absolent lter cassettes, the unit can be operated
without interruption 24-7. The returned oil is col-
lected at the bottom of the lter for recycling.
The air is then extracted through the fan, after
which it is ltered once more in an HEPA H13 cas-
sette. The HEPA cassette oers a guaranteed and
consistent collecting eciency of 99.99% arresting
mpps (most penetrating particles approx. 0.14 µm.
The air is now usually clean enough to be returned
directly to the premises.
An electronic manometer indicates when the lter
cassette needs to be washed or replaced. A signal
from the electronic manometer can also be transfe-
rred from the unit to somewhere externally.
