Dangers to eyes, breathing and skin
Once used, the filters within the V600 system may contain a
mixture of particulates, some of which may be sub-micron
size. When the used filters are moved it may agitate some of
this particulate, which could get into the breathing zone and
eyes of the operative. Additionally, depending on the
materials being processed, the particulate may be an irritant
to the skin.
Caution When changing used filters always wear a mask,
safety shoes, goggles and gloves.
Carbon selection
Please note that the media within the filter fitted in the
V600 is capable of adsorbing a wide range of organic
compounds. However, it is the responsibility of the user to
ensure it is suitable for the particular application it is being
used on.

Fire Risk Warning
In the very rare event that a burning ember or spark is drawn
into the fume extraction unit, it may be possible that the
filters will ignite. Whilst any resultant fire would typically be
retained within the fume extraction unit, the damage to the
extractor could be significant.
It is therefore essential to minimise the possibility of this
occurring by undertaking an appropriate Risk assessment to
determine:-
a). Whether additional fire protection equipment should be
installed.
b). Appropriate maintenance procedures to prevent the risk
of build-up of debris which could potentially combust.
This unit should not be used on processes where sparks
could occur, with explosive dusts and gases, or with
particulates which can be pyrophoric (can spontaneously
ignite), without implementation of additional precautions
It is essential that nozzles or other extraction/ fume capture
devices and hoses/pipework are cleaned regularly to prevent
the build-up of potentially ignitable debris

Before installation
Packaging Removal & Unit Placement
Before installation, check the extraction unit for damage.
All packaging must be removed before the unit is connected
to the power supply.
Please read all instructions in this manual before using
this extractor.
1. Move the unit to the location where it is going to be
installed and remove the outer packaging. This
unit should be installed in a well-ventilated area.
Ensure that 500 mm space is available around any
vented panels on the extractor to ensure adequate
airflow.
2. Check the filter is located in its correct position
before replacing the lid and securing the clips
Caution
Due to the weight of the extractor suitable lifting
equipment should be used and with regard to appropriate
safety precautions. (See Appendix for product weight
details)
Caution
Do not block or cover the cooling vents on the unit,
as this severely restricts airflow and may cause damage to
the unit.
Caution
Under no circumstances should the exhaust
outlet/s be covered as this will restrict the airflow and cause
overheating.
01

Installation
The V600 has been designed to remove and filter fume
containing potentially hazardous particulate and gases
generated during manufacturing processes. Such hazardous
substances are captured within a multistage filtration
system after which the cleaned air is returned to the
workplace.
Fume Capture Methods
The fume is normally captured by 1 of 3 methods.
•Flexible arm/ Nozzle
•Enclosures
•Cabinets
General Guidelines for a successful installation
•Keep duct run length to a minimum
•Avoid sharp bends / turns in the ductwork
•Avoid multiple bends / turns in the ductwork
•Use a larger diameter duct where able
•Position the capture device as close as possible to
the marking point. (if used on high speed lines,
position the capture device slightly downstream)
Flexible Arm & Nozzle Extraction
The stay put arm should be mounted as close as possible to
the marking point using the horseshoe clips. Unscrew the
push fit connector from the other side of the flexible hose.
Cut the flexible hose to suit the distance back to the
extractor connection and push onto the extractor inlet.
Purge air should be kept to a minimum, where possible, to
prevent the fume being blown away from the nozzle.
High speed bottling lines may need bigger scoops or nozzles
both sides of the bottles because of the turbulence caused
by the speed of the bottles.
Moving products
For applications where the product to be marked is moving
past the stationary laser head the capture nozzle should be
positioned as close as possible to the marking area on the
side the product is moving towards.
Enclosures
The extraction hose and nozzle can be attached to the
enclosure surrounding the marking zone provided that the
extraction point is within 50-75mm of the marking point.

Connection to Power Supply
Please follow the above specification when selecting the
power supply outlet for the V600 system, ensure the power
supply is suitable before connecting the V600 system.
Check the Integrity of the electrical power cable, if the
supply cord is damaged the extraction unit should not be
connected to the mains. The supply cord should only be
replaced by a BOFA engineer as an electrical safety
test may be required after replacement.
The V600 MUST be connected to a properly earthed outlet.
If your V600 system was ordered with any
optional extras please read section 4.03 before
the power connection is made as additional connections
may be required before power is connected to the
extractor.
Connect the power cable to an isolated electrical supply.
The mains socket should be installed near the extractor it
should be easily accessible and able to be switched On/ Off.
The cable run should be arranged so as not to create a trip
hazard.
Cabinets
Cabinets normally have a 75mm 0r 100mm spigot for fume
extraction. For best performance use the same diameter
hose as the spigot and reduce at the extractor end if
necessary. Keep the hose run as short as possible.
Connection to extraction unit
All ductwork should be installed and connected to the
extraction unit before the extraction system is turned on.
Exhausting filtered air outside
If requested your extraction unit will have been fitted with
an exhaust outlet spigot. This provides a connection point
for exhaust pipework to be fitted. It is important to keep any
ducting to a minimum, in order to reduce back pressure
within the system.

Installation
Optional added features
The V600 can be configured to suit customer specification. These
optional extras would be discussed, arranged and installed prior to
delivery.
(If unsure what features your system is equipped with please
contact the seller with the unit serial number, (Refer to section 2
for location) who will be able to advise what specification has
been supplied.
Remote Stop/Start feature
Enables the extraction unit to be remotely turned On / Off via an
external signal.
Note Care must be taken to ensure that the system is correctly
wired in order for the extraction unit to function correctly.
DC Voltage input
This configuration requires the Black & Red cores of the signal
cable (Refer to section 1 for location) to be connected to a known
and tested DC power supply, in order to start the extractor.
The operating voltage for this signal is 24VDC. Only this voltage
should be connected. Voltages connected outside of this range
may cause irreversible damage to the relay.
Red cable = V+
Black cable = V-
When the extractor is provided with the correct DC voltage the
motor will start and maintain the set flow rate (Refer to section 5
for how to set the flow) when the DC voltage is removed the motor
will slow down and come to a stop.
The extractor will need to be turned on (See section 5 for turning
the extractor on) in order for this feature to operate.
Override
Enables the extractor to operate fully with or without either DC
voltage input or the Volt free input.
The override feature can be toggled On / Off by a switch mounted
on the internal motor access panel (see below for switch location)
Switch in “On” position
In this position the extractor will require a start signal (either
Voltage input or Volt free, depending on the requested
specification) to enable the motor within the extraction unit.
Switch in “Off” position
In this position the extractor motor will run without the
requirement for an external start signal. This feature is useful for
engineers carrying out works/ tests on the extractor without the
need for the laser / auxiliary signal being present.
Filter Blocked / System Fail Signal
With this option the extraction system will output a signal to alert
the user when the extractor has failed or when the filters are
blocked.
This feature will not directly stop the extractor from running
correctly, but if fitted this feature should be terminated correctly
before power is applied to the extraction system.
Connection specification
This signal is available via the Green and White cores of the signal
cable. The system will provide a volt free Open / Closed signal that
can be connected to an external interface, beacon or warning
device following the specification below.
•Maximum input voltage 24V AC
•Maximum current load 3A @ AC
OR
•Maximum input voltage 24V DC
•Maximum input load 3A @ DC
Filter Signal
When the filters become blocked or the system develops a fault
the connection between the Green & White cables will become
“Open”
When the extraction system is running normally the connection
between the Green & White cables will become “Closed”
03

Operation
Turning extraction unit On
The main isolation switch must be switched to the “On”
position (Refer to section 1 for switch location) by
depressing the ‘I’ side of the switch.
Setting the desired airflow
The V600 features manual flow control. This enables the
user to set the required airflow rate. Over time as the filters
begin to block the user should manually increase the motor
speed to ensure the correct flow is maintained to
compensate for any loss in performance caused by the
added restriction of the partially blocked filters.
The extractor and all pipe work must be fully
installed and connected before the airflow is set.
To set the airflow
Press the Up arrow button to increase airflow and press the
down arrow button to decrease airflow. The level of airflow
is indicated by the vertical row of six blue LEDs to the right
of the mains isolation switch. As the airflow increases, more
blue LEDs light up and the opposite for decreasing the
airflow.
Remote Speed Control
If your V600 extraction unit is installed with this optional
extra the airflow can be remotely controlled from a
controller run from the unit on a signal cable. The airflow is
ad usted in the same way as detailed above.

Maintenance
Maintenance UK
It is a legal requirement, under regulation 9 of the COSHH
regulations that all local exhaust ventilation systems are
thoroughly examined and tested at least once every 14
months (typically carried out annually). The approved code
of practice recommends that a visual check should be
carried out at least once a week.
COSHH requires the annual inspection and testing to be
carried out by a competent person and specifies that
documentation results are recorded in a log.
Contact the seller for more information about inspection
and certification.
Maintenance General
User maintenance is limited to cleaning the unit and filter
replacement, only the manufacturers trained maintenance
technicians are authorised to carry out component testing
and replacement. Unauthorised work or the use of
unauthorised replacement filters may result in a potentially
dangerous situation and/or damage to the extractor unit
and will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
Cleaning the unit
The powder coat finish can be cleaned with a damp cloth
and non-aggressive detergent, do not use an abrasive
cleaning product as this will damage the finish.
The cooling inlets and outlets should be cleaned once a year
to prevent build-up of dust and overheating of the unit.
Filter Information
A log of filter changes should be maintained by the user.
The filters require attention when the display shows the
configuration shown on the next page or when the extractor
no longer removes fume efficiently.
It is recommended that a spare set of filters are kept on site
to avoid prolonged unit unavailability. Part numbers for
replacement filters can be found on the filters fitted in your
system.
To prevent overheating, units should not be run with a
blocked filter condition, or with dust obstruction of Inlets /
Outlets.
Fire Risk Warning
