1.0 General safety precautions
IMPORTANT – Please study all the instructions before
mounting and commissioning.
Please keep these instructions in a safe place and
instruct all users in the function and operation of the
product.
Do not dismantle any factory-mounted parts,
since it impedes the commissioning of the
equipment.
An authorised electrician must carry out all
electrical installations.
1.1 Danger
Explosive media – The Extraction arm is not suitable
for the extraction of aluminium dust, our, textile dust
nor for sawdust or other media, which are connected
with danger of explosion, without specic approval from
Geovent A/S.
Placing the hand between the spring and the carrying
arm could involve a risk of mutilation.
Demounting the spring is deadly dangerous.
1.2 Field of application
The COMPACT arm is the ideal Extraction arm for the
extraction of welding smoke, grinding dust, fumes,
etc. when there is only limited space available in the
working area.
Since the arm is telescopic, it only requires minimum
space, and still it is a perfect combination between the
large arms with major suction capacity and the smaller
arms, which are easy to position.
The Extraction arm is not suitable for the extraction of
aluminium dust, our, textile dust nor sawdust or other
media, which are connected with danger of explosion,
without specic approval from Geovent A/S.
Under no circumstances may the balancer, which
is mounted on the ceiling bracket, be loosened or tigh-
tened to the extent that the inner spring breaks. There-
fore, be careful in order to avoid loading the spring in
the outer areas.
The hose may be damaged and leaky via outer loads,
e.g. by a screwdriver. Avoid such load in order to safe-
guard a long life.

Arms and friction joints: The arm consists of three
joints. The inner carrying arm is executed in 45x45 mm
aluminium pro le, supplied with adjustable  ttings, whe-
re the power of the spring may be adjusted. Inside this
pro le, the middle 35x35 mm ALU-pro le is moved by
means of journal bearings. The outer joint, a 25x25 mm
aluminium pro le, is moved by means of journal
bearings in the middle pro le.
2.0 Installation
The COMPACT arm is supplied partly assembled.
Depending on model, it may consist of one carrying
arm, one hood, and one set of hose with clamp and
rubber band. As standard, the arm is prepared for ceil-
ing mounting, however, in most cases it will be moun-
ted on a wall by means of a wall bracket (to be ordered
separately).
Before mounting the arm, please make sure that the
optimum working area is selected. Is there space
enough for the satisfactory utilisation of the arm? What
about connection possibilities for piping and auto-
matics? The optimum installation height is then to be
selected in accordance with the table below:
Recommended installation height COMPACT arm:
1-2 m 1800 mm
1.5-3 m 2000 mm
3.0 to 7.0 m (incl. extension arm) 2500 mm
Procedure:
1. For wall mounting, attach the wall bracket  rmly
to the wall by means of 4 o󰀨 10 mm bolts (when
using the extension arm, please  x this bracket  rst
– refer to item 2.1).
2. Then the ceiling bracket is mounted, either in the
ceiling or in the wall bracket (refer to the drawing
below). The bracket is  xed via attaching the 4 of 8
mm bolts with 4 of bevel-edged washers and lock
nuts.

3. Then the arm looks like the one shown on the
picture below. The functionality of the arm is tested
and the inner joint is tightened up, if necessary.

4. The outer joint for the hood is tested and tightened
up, if necessary. The hood must be self-retaining in
all positions.
5. Subsequently, the hose is mounted on the ceiling
bracket. The rubber band is taken out over the ceil-
ing bracket, after which the hose is  xed by means
of a clamp. Bending the edge of the hose is the best
way of doing this, so that the steel spiral is pulled/
twisted up on the bracket. When the hose has been
properly  xed, the rubber band is  nally pulled over
the clamp.
6. The hose is mounted on the hood by tightening
the clamp around the hood and the hose. (NB. Re-
member  rst to pull the rubber band over the hood).
When the hose has been  xed properly, the rubber
band ispulled over the clamp. Subsequently, the
arm is connected to the complete piping system.
7. If the telescopic function cannot remain in the requi-
red position or if there is too much resistance in the
arm, please adjust the balancer at the back of the
ceiling bracket.
2.1 Mounting of optional equipment
Mounting of the extension arm
1 meter extension arm:
Start by  xing the extension arm to a solid wall, e.g. a
concrete wall. (Please refer to the hole dimensions).
Longer extension arms:
Start by  xing the wall bracket of the extension arm to
a solid wall e.g. a concrete wall. (see hole dimensions).
If one joint, then attach the outrigger.
If 2 joints,  rst mount the inner joint and afterwards the
second one. Be sure that the outer arm is mounted cor-
rectly - with the pipe holder on the top of the arm.
Next, the spiro pipe is fastened to the extension arm by
means of the enclosed self-cutting screws. The gap bet-
ween the spiro pipes is assembled by means of clamps
and the supplied hose. Subsequently, the arm is atta-
ched to the extension arm.

Mounting of a net with light
The net must be pop rivet on the hood. The connection
is made by extending the power cord, which is attached
inside the arm, where it is to be xed.
Next, the power cord is connected to the transformer
(230V → 12V) which again is connected to the mains.
See the drawing below.

The power cord from the lamp must be connected to 12 VDC.
2.2 Power connection
For connection of various electrical components (e.g.
light sensor), please refer to the documentation of the
actual product.
The electrical installation is to be carried out by a certi-
ed electrician.
2.3 Trial run – exact adjustment
After the nal mounting, the COMPACT arm should be
adjusted to the typical working area for optimum utilisa-
tion of the arm. Do so by adjusting the points mentioned
in item 2 (3. 4. and 7.) exactly.
3.0 User instruction – application
The balancer mounted on the ceiling bracket must not be
loosened or tightened so much that the internal spring
breaks. Therefore, exercise caution to avoid stressing
the spring in the outer areas.
The hose can be damaged by external loads, e.g. from a
screwdriver. Therefore, this should be avoided to ensure
the longest possible life of the hose.
For normal use, the arm is to be self-retaining in the re-
quired position within the working area. The bracket of
the arm supplies a 360° rotary working area.
If the equipment has been correctly dimensioned, the
hood of the arm should be placed in vertical position
300-500 mm over the blanks to be welded. That is just
above the pollutant. Thus up to 99% of the polluting par-
ticles will be caught.
Optimal welding situation
Less optimal welding situation
Always check that the correct volume of air is extracted
by the suction head/hood.
The arm does not work if …
• unauthorised parts have been mounted on the arm
(e.g. power point on the hood)
• the arm is pushed towards the required position. Instead,
please move the arm to the required position and wait
a moment until the friction discs have locked the arm.
• something has been hung on the extension arm. It is
only meant to be capable of carrying the weight of the
actual arm.
4.0 Maintenance
Periodic maintenance
• When it becomes di󰀩cult to position the arm, e.g. if it
will not remain in the required position, please adjust the
movable joints or the balancer (please refer to item 2).

• Please check the condition of the hose, the spring, the
balancer as well as the friction discs, and exchange
them if necessary. Please contact your dealer in respe-
ct of spare parts.
At least once annually, the whole point extraction plant
should be overhauled by an authorised serviceman.
4.1 Problem solving
Problems with positioning
The arm slides out in the telescopic ttings.
The balancer at the back of the ceiling bracket needs to
be adjusted, see chapter 2.7.
