INTRODUCTION
MAJOR COMPONENTS
Cabinet
The cabinet is fabricated out of satin coat mild steel and is
painted via powder coating. The Enviroflexname etc. is
silk screened over the powder-coated paint.
The ESE201A-W-2 Portable Smoke Extractor unit uses a
high efficient washable filter. The operating life expectancy
of the washable filter depends on the type of smoke being
removed, the severity of the smoke, duty cycle and whether
the precoat is being used after each cleaning. It is extremely
difficult to pinpoint how many pounds of consumable wire or
electrode that can be deposited before the filter has to be
cleaned. This is extremely difficult to estimate, as there are
too many variables.
To clean the high efficient filter:
Please note the suction deteriorates as the filter
loads up with contaminant. This deterioration of
suction is the operator’s indication when it is time to
clean the filter.
(1) Turn off the Smoke Extractor and pull out the
electrical plug from the wall receptacle.
(2) Unfasten the (2) latches located at the front of the
machine. Remove the spark trap.
(3) Pull out the EF200A washable filter, which can be
blown out using a low-pressure air nozzle. You
should use at least 60 to 80 PSI air pressure. You
take the washable filter and turn it upside down and
blow it from the outside only covering the entire
media area. This should be repeated several times.
You utilize the gasket on the front of the filter to
eliminate blowing the contaminant all over the shop.
(4) Place the clean filter back into the cabinet making
sure the outer gasket comes in contact with the
cabinet rim.
(5) Before placing the spark trap on the unit you should
shake the spark trap to remove any heavy
particulate that has been caught inside behind the
impinger plate.
(6) Reinstall the spark trap in the cover and place the
spark trap over the front of the cabinet making sure
that the cover is seated correctly on all edges of the
cabinet. Tighten the (2) latch catches.
(7) Plug the machine back into the wall receptacle and
turn the unit on. You then take a cup of precoat and
feed it gradually into the end of the 15 ft. hose such
that the precoat enters the hose in a fine mist. Do
not let the precoat go in all at once as it will enter
the filter in a lump form whereas it should enter the
filter in a fine mist thus precoating the entire surface
of the filter. Please note the filter can also be
cleaned with a pressure washer as the filter is
moisture resistant. We do no recommend this
process unless absolutely necessary (e.g. oil mist) as
the filter has to be left overnight to dry. If it was wet
and then precoated the precoat would stick to the
wet areas and have a lumping effect.
Charcoal Filters
If you have purchased the (2) optional charcoal filters it is a
very easy installation. To install them you have to remove
the spark trap then remove the EF200A filters. Install the 2
charcoal modules by butting them up against the motor hole
plates at back of the filter plate. Please note it is vital that the
flat portion of the charcoal cassette is facing the filters.
Otherwise the air does not get a chance to expand before
entering the motor and would only utilize a small portion of
the charcoal the size of the motor inlet hole. Re-install the
EF200A filter. Install the filter plate and the spark trap.
The charcoal will have to be replaced when odors can be
detected coming out of the louvers on the 2 sides of the unit.
Electrical Service
The (2) electric motors are equipped with replaceable
brushes. Once the brushes become worn the motor will
automatically stop, thus eliminating any potential damage to
the commutator. To replace the brushes be sure that the
power has been turned off and the power cord has been
removed from the wall outlet. Unscrew the four screws
located at the rear of the cabinet to allow access to the
motors. Remove the protective fan cap by lifting the metal
clips, which are located on the sides of the cap. Remove the
hold down screw, which secures the brush in place, and pull
off the bayonet connector from the brush. Remove the old
brush from the motor and install the new brush by reversing
the above procedure. Replace the cap and screw the motor
housing plate back onto the back of the cabinet. The
ESE201A-W unit is now ready to operate.
If at any time you are unsure of any procedure, please do not
hesitate to contact your nearest distributor.
Replacing Motor

If at any time you have to replace a motor please follow the
following procedure.
1) Remove the (4) screws on the cooling air intake
plate at the back of the machine. Remove the motor
intake plate.
2) Remove four Phillips screws from the motor plate.
3) Unscrew the switch on the top of the machine and
remove taking special precaution that the switch
remains intact.
4) Remove the motor plate with the (2) motors on it -
Remove the defective motor and install the new
motor making sure there is a motor gasket between
the motor and motor plate. You can then screw the
new motor in.
5) Take the bottom motor wire of both motors and join
them together. You then connect these wires to the
white nylon terminal connector together.
6) The single wire on the terminal board goes to
number 1 (#1) on the switch. The wire on the
bottom motor goes to number 2 (#2) on the switch
and the top motor wire goes to number 3 (#3) on the
switch.
The white wire on the power cord goes to the wire
on the terminal board that goes to #2 on the switch.
The black wire on the power cord goes to the single
wire on terminal that goes to the number 1 (#1) on
the switch. You can now put the switch and plates
back in place.
Preventative Maintenance
The brushes should be changed every 400 operating hours.
This procedure should become part of a preventative
maintenance program. This eliminates potential problems
with the commutator.
