INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
ELECTRIC SHOCK
CAN KILL.
Have a qualified electrician
install and service this
equipment.
Do not touch electrically live
parts such as internal wiring.
Do not disconnect the wiring
jack before turning off
power!
Electrical installation should be performed
within the following conditions:
Ambient temperature: Between 41°F
and 131°F. If the time is over 24 hours,
then the ambient average temperature
shall not be over 122°F.
Humidity: Between 30% and 95%
Altitude: 3,280 feet
Moving and Storing: -13°F to 131°F.
For short-time storage (less than 24
hours), the storage temperature can be
up to 158°F.
POWER CONNECTION
1. All electrical connections must be
performed by a qualified electrician.
2. Confirm that the available power
supply is equal to the motor and
control panel voltage and amperage
requirements (see
installation-technical specifications)
3. Insure that all power supplies are
turned off and locked out prior to any
connection to the unit.
4. Refer to the electrical diagram (next
page) for proper connection.

OPERATION
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The Welding Fume Extractor can be
dangerous if it is operated incorrectly.
Therefore, the product must be used with
caution to avoid risk of injury and avoidable
hazard or damage. Unnecessary injuries may
occur by failing to follow the instructions
within Manual. The following components are
key to a safe workplace and safe operation of
the fume extractor.
1. Insure that the working environmental is
suitable for using the product.
2. Do not store or use flammable gas or
liquids near the machine when in
operation.
3. All non-operating personnel should keep
proper distance from the unit when in use,
to avoid risk of injury. Keep other persons
away from the product, except for the
operator, to avoid danger.
4. Inspect the electrical wires daily. If wiring
is frayed or cut, immediately turn off the
unit and turn off the power source and
contact a qualified electrician for repair.
5. Before replacing parts, turn the machine
off and shut off power at the source.
6. Do not operate the product near
flammable materials, as sparks may ignite
these materials and cause an explosion.
7. Key components of the machine run at
high speeds and can cause injury. Never
place hands, body parts or foreign objects
near moving parts. Do not wear loose
clothing that can become entangled in
moving parts.

OPERATION
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS
The compressed air connection hole is located
on the top right side of the collector.
The air supply must be clean, dry and oil free
at 90-100psi. An air filter/regulator with gauge
is highly recommended.
Hook up of the air to the manifold air tank is
achieved by installing a short length of
one-quarter inch (1/4”) straight pipe which
connects to a one-quarter inch (1/4”) NPT half
coupling. After this short length of pipe, the
filter/regulator can be installed.
On the side of the unit there is a drain valve
for removing any moisture that may collect
over time inside the compressed air manifold
tank. Periodic drainage of this tank should be
part of routine maintenance. Routine
maintenance of this area can be accomplished
in either of two ways.
CAUTION: AIR TANK IS UNDER PRESSURE
AND MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE
PERFORMED ONLY WHEN THE
COLLECTOR IS SHUT DOWN AND
AIR TANK HAS DEPRESSURIZED.
THIS CAN BE DONE BY SHUTTING
DOWN THE AIR SUPPLY TO
COLLECTOR AND ALLOWING THE
COLLECTOR TO PULSE AT LEAST
TWO TIMES BEFORE SHUTTING THE
FAN OFF.
The air supply must be clean, dry and oil free
at 90psi. At a minimum, an air filter and
regulator should be installed. An air dryer is
strongly recommended. The drier the
compressed air, the longer the cartridge life.
A pressure gauge should be added to the air
line immediately before the manifold coupling.
It should be regulated to 90 psi since air
pressure over 120 psi can damage the air
valve diaphragms.
Note: Recovery to 90psi between pulses is
required for proper filter cleaning and
extended cartridge life.

The Welding Fume Extractor is designed for
the filtration of smoke generated during
ordinary welding process work. When installed
and operated correctly, the machine will
effectively collect and screen the smoke
yielding a significant improvement in air
quality within the working environment.
1. Before starting the machine, be sure to
read this Manual carefully.
2. Before starting the machine, insure
that relevant safety protection
measures have been taken according
to the Manual.
3. Before starting the machine, confirm
the motor is turning in the direction as
labeled on the machine.
OPERATION – Filter Cleaning
1. Attached compressed air to the unit for
cleaning purposes, at a source
pressure of 90 PSI. The connection
point is accessed by removing the
panel on the side of the unit where the
PSI label is in place and requires a 1/4”
NPT fitting. A regulator must be
incorporated in line to set pressure. Do
not exceed 90 PSI pressure.
2. Refer to control panel for initiating
power to the motor and subsequent
vacuum from the unit.
3. The vacuum hood should be placed an
approximate distance of 12” from the
smoke source for efficient operation.
4. The pulse cleaning button is used for
filter cleaning and for maximum
effectiveness should be used as
follows:
•The unit should be powered off and
the button pushed one to two times
before and after every use.
•Cleaning as noted above should be
daily, and as any decrease in
vacuum is observed. If pressure

SPC-2000
AVANI Welding Fume Extractor
13
exceeds 6.5” WIC on the pressure
gauge and a decrease in vacuum is
observed the unit should be
powered off and the button pushed
one to two times.
5. If operating vacuum is weak after
manual pulse cleaning, remove the
metal filter, clean with water, dry and
re-install. All other filters can be
removed and cleaned with compressed
air.
6. If vacuum remains weak after cleaning
the filters, contact AVANI for filter
replacement. (see contact list in this
manual)
