4.2 Controls
4.1 To Operate Safely
4.3 Pre-Use Checklist
• Read and understand SECTION 1: Safety Precautions and ensure SECTION 3: Pre-Installation has been followed.
• Before plugging unit in to an input power source, look at the manufacturer’s label located on the exterior of the unit
and ensure the source is correctly sized in terms of Voltage and Amperes.
• Prior to use in your application, turn the unit ON, and perform a function test. To do so:
1. LOOK: Have the front and back doors been closed properly.
2. Turn switch to ON position.
3. LOOK: Is the unit level, stable, and that nothing is obstructing the extraction path.
4. LISTEN: Does the motor and suction sound smooth and within expected volumes.
5. FEEL: Place your hand on top of the unit and sense for unexpected vibration. Place you hand in front of
the intake hood/surface and sense for expected level(s) of suction.
• Inform all potential users of this equipment where they may find and review this manual.
• The machine controls are basic, and consist solely of a power switch with ON and OFF positions.
• If the machine is equipped with a Minihelic differential pressure gauge, the Minihelic should
read between .8 and 4.2 inches W.C. during normal operation.
• For a reading of more than 4 inches W.C, consult SECTION 5: Maintenance
and Troubleshooting as filter servicing may be required.
• Read and understand SECTION 1: Safety Precautions and SECTION 4: Operation before use
• Read and understand all Material Safety Data Sheets and Manufacturer’s instructions of all
process materials, consumables, and equipment used in conjunction with this equipment.
• Keep away from all mechanical moving parts including motor, gears, and other pinch points.
• Do not use product without first confirming if a Spark Arrestor is required and installed for
the type of dust, or fumes you are extracting and/or collection. If you are unsure, call a
Diversitech representative at 1-800-361-3733.
SECTION 4 - OPERATION

9
4.4 Principles of Operation
This product is designed to capture and clean smoke and dust from medium & heavy duty welding, soldering, and grinding applications. When operating,
air is drawn in to the nozzle, passes through the 7” diameter hose, then through the air cleaner’s filtration system, and is exhausted through the rear
discharge.
This product consists of four basic components:
1. Capture Arm(s)
2. A blower
3. Cartridge Filter
4. Motor & Electrical assemblies
5. ICS-360 Injection Cleaning System
6. Dust Drawer (Mobile) or Hopper (Ceiling Mount)
• The operator is to positon the machine within operating distance, and activate the caster wheel brakes.
• The operator can then position the capture arm close enough to the worksite to capture all dust and fumes that will be produced.
• Ensuring that all safety procedures have been followed, the operator can turn on the machine and begin working.
• When not in use, the machine should be turned off.
4.5 Failure Event
4.6 ICS-360 Injection Cleaning System
If, for some reason, during operation there is an accident, a blockage occurs, the Minihelic displays abnormal pressure differences, or the machine begins to act
abnormally, the operator should immediately shut off the machine. This is considered a machine failure and the following steps should be taken:
This product consists of four basic components:
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
3. Seek medical attention if an accident occurred.
4. Follow the guidelines in SECTION 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
Remember, under no circumstance should the machine be turned back on while performing maintenance.
The ICS-360 Injection Cleaning System works to blow particulate off the filter and into the dust drawer in a cycle that takes approximately 8 minutes to complete.
The cycle initiates automatically each time the units turned off. If the cycle has started and the unit is turned back on, the ICS-360 will recommence cleaning from the
last position the next time the unit switched off.

5.1 To Maintain this Product Safely
5.2 Tools Required
• Read and understand SECTION 1: Safety Precautions and SECTION 4: Operation before maintenance.
• Do not breathe the dust collected from product while changing/cleaning filters or performing maintenance on this
product.
• Disconnect power before performing any maintenance on unit, including filter inspection. The input power to this unit is
high voltage, and touching any live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. Do not touch live electrical
parts.
• Keep away from all mechanical moving parts including motor, gears, and other pinch points while operating.
• Operating this unit causes some parts to heat to a point that will burn bare hands. Before maintenance allow parts to
cool, or use proper tools and personal protection equipment during maintenance.
SECTION 5 - MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

Frecuency Manual Reference
Pre-Use
• Perform pre-use inspection to ensure operating correctly. 4.3
ISC-360 Self-Cleaning Cycle
• Automatically initiated each time unit is turned OFF. 4.5
Every (1) Week - Empty Dust Drawer
• Remove dust drawer and deposit accumulated particulate in appropriate waste container. Refer to local regulations
regarding disposal procedures as some captured contaminants may be flammable, explosive, or toxic.
• Recommended frequency is one week, but may be less or more depending of application.
As Required – Replace Filter
1. Replace Filter
Every (12) months Inspect Basic Components
1. Clean unreadable labels and exterior surfaces
2. Capture Arm: Check for tears in flex hoses and fitting of hose clamps
3. Cabinet: Look for loose wiring.
4. ICS-360 Function Test:
• Open Cabinet Door (keep open)
• Remove Filter
• Turn ON unit, and then OFF
• Observe if ICS-360 cycle initiates (normal delay of 30 seconds)
• Observe if air nozzle passes the complete range (bottom-to-top) of acme shaft.
