Electrical Safety
The V200 has been designed to meet the safety
requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC
(previously numbered 73/23/EEC)
Warning
When working with the pump/motor housing open, Live
230/115 volt mains components are accessible. Ensure that
the rules and regulations for work on live components are
always observed.
Important
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
1. Always isolate the system from the mains power
supply before removing the pump/motor access
panel.
2. Use only as described in this manual.
3. Connect the system to a properly grounded outlet.
Dangers to eyes, breathing and skin
Once used, the filter within the V200 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 used, the particulate may be an irritant to
the skin.
This unit should not be used on processes with sparks of
flammable materials or with explosive dusts and gases,
without implementation of additional precautions.
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
V200 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
Do not block or cover the airflow and motor
cooling ports 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.

replaced by a BOFA engineer as an electrical safety test may
be required after replacement.
The extraction unit MUST be connected to a
properly earthed outlet.
If your extraction 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.

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.
All filters are tested to BS3928. A certificate of conformity
for each filter is available on request.
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.
