4. Delivery, first use
The iVACeco extraction unit (referred as below to the eco) is supplied as ready to use. No special installation work is
necessary. The eco must be handled with due care and consideration during transport, setting up and operation. The eco must
be kept dry when put away or stored during normal operation. Please take steps to prevent any improper use:
- The eco is switched on and off at the power switch No.1 ON/OFF:
Position “0” The device is switched off.
Position “0” The device is switched on.
- When the power switch is on (Position “1”), switch No.2 can be used to operate the turbine function:
Position “0” The turbine is switched off.
Position “1” The turbine is switched on (with remote control via SUB9 input).
Position “2” The turbine is switched on (with remote control).
- For normal operation, the ecoshould be set to the medium potentiometer setting (5-7). This corresponds to a maximum rate of
air flow of approx. 100m³/h.
5. Intended use of the eco extraction unit
The eco is intended for the continuous separation by mechanical filtration of dry materials / substances ( particles), which
mainly take the form of milling and drilling dust, flour and powder, chips, granulate and fibres.
The eco is suitable for extracting materials such as metals (not fine aluminium grinding dust or magnesium), plastics, paper,
textiles, leather, glass, acrylic glass and mineral substances /ceramic, cement, stone, etc.). If the eco is correctly installed at the
dust source (e.g. milling, drilling, engraving or grinding system, etc.) and operated in accordance with the instructions and
regulations, then the required performance and quality of extraction and separation are guaranteed.
The basic unit incorporates a main filter (filter cartridge, category M) with an upstream paper filter to collect all chips and most
dust particles.
Any use, other than the intended use, is forbidden!
Unintended or improper use leads to:
hazards for life and health
hazards for the machine
hazards for other property
6. General safety information
When using eco, the following must be observed:
- Ensure that no fire hazards (flying sparks), no explosive substances, liquids, combustible dusts or aggressive gases are drawn
in by the extractor.
- All electrically conductive components of the eco must be continuously earthed.
- Insert the mains plug into an earthed socket protected by a 16 amp slow-blow fuse
- Check the mains lead for splits, aging or any damaged caused by wheels or by crushing.
- Always remove the plug from the socket after use. Before transporting, clean the unit, carry out maintenance, empty the
contents, check the filters, etc.
- Only trained and qualified staff may operate, service or repair the eco.
- Connect the eco to the extraction site at the workplace by means of a fixed pipework or hose.
Regular inspection and maintenance tasks include:
- Daily inspection: Check for visible damage; ensure that the dust collector is not full; check upstream filter No. 22 and seal No.
40. Check level indicator light No. 15.

4
- Monthly inspection: Remove deposits in the upstream area of filter chamber No. 15. Remove any major residues. Clean
residues from filter cartridge. Check that the hose connector bush fits tightly in air intake No 27a.
- Six-monthly maintenance: Change the G4 filter mat No 34. If the filter mat becomes clogged, the turbine can be irreparably
damaged through lack of cool air.
- The eco may only be used for dry extraction and not in the open air. The unit must be, of course, be serviced and repaired as
necessary. See also Section 10 / page 5 “Troubleshooting checklist”.
Prevention of mechanical hazards: All moving parts of the machine (e.g. turbine) which are potential hazards are covered by
means of permanent, fixed, protective covers which can only be removed with the use of tools.
Prevention of electrical hazards: All parts of the machine which carry an electric current are insulated by means of
permanent, fixed protective devices which can only be removed with the use of tools.
Other risks: If the above mentions instructions are not observed, there is acute danger for the operating personnel.
7. Filter
7.1 Air flow, filter arrangement
The extracted particles (e.g. dust, flower, powder, chips, granulate) are drawn via air intake No. 27a into the synthetic filter No.
42. The synthetic filter No. 42 serves to relieve filter cartridge No.14 and absorbs the chips and a large portion of the dust.
However, fine dust passes through the synthetic filter. The air flow carries the fine dust to filter cartridge. Here, it is deposited on
the pleated surface of the filter cartridge (air intake area No. 15).
7.2 Red indicator light No. 5
The red indicator light comes on when the performance of the extractor drops significantly at a medium potentiometer setting (5-
7 on the scale). When the red light comes on, the EC blower cuts out immediately. In order to briefly continue to operate the
turbine until the indicator light comes on again, a RESET can be carried out as follows:
1. Set main switch NO.1 to position “0”
2. Set the changeover switch No. 2 position “0”
3. Set main switch No. 1 to position “1”
4. Set the changeover switch No. 2 to position “1” (with remote control via SUB9 port) or position “2” (without remote
control) depending on the function selected.
- Important: both filters must now be checked (see 7.3 and 7.4), because
•the synthetic filter may be full
•there may be heavy deposits on the filter cartridge
•the synthetic filter may be full and there may be heavy deposits on the filter cartridge
7.3 Synthetic filter: filter saturation, visual inspection, changing
The synthetic filter is a disposable filter and should be changed when it is ¾ full. Depending on the application and the amount
and specification of material to be extracted, it may be necessary to carry this out every day or not for several weeks. The
condition of the synthetic filter can be determined by as follows:
Visual inspection: Release clasp No. 26b, remove filter chamber cover No. 24. The level of the synthetic filter can be seen
through opening No. 35 or feeling by hand. When replacing the filter chamber cover, make sure that both pins No. 23 engage in
holes No. 12 and that both guide lugs No. 25 fit onto pins No.17. Fasten the cover with the clasp. During visual inspection, the
extraction hose must be removed from the air intake.
Changing synthetic filter: Remove the filter chamber cover. Remove Holder of synthetic filter No. 18 complete with synthetic
filter No. 42 from the filter chamber. Pull the synthetic filter out of the slot No. 19 (see also direction of arrow in Fig. 4) and close
synthetic filter with the paper sealing lug No. 44 (turn it down). Insert new synthetic filter Note: tab No. 43 must remain
protruding from slot No. 19 – see Fig. 3). Insert the holder with the synthetic filter. Replace the filter chamber cover as described
under “Visual inspection” and fasten same.
7.4 Filter cartridge: filter saturation, visual inspection, cleaning, removing and replacing
Filter cartridge No. 14 is upstream of the turbine and fastened onto retaining bolt No. 13 by means of nut No. 13b (with silicone
seal and washer). The filter cartridge (category M filter material) is designed for fine dust.
Visual inspection: When the filter level light described in 7.2 comes on, the filter cartridge must be checked. Remove filter
chamber cover (as described in 7.3). The filter cartridge is pleated. Check for dust deposits between the pleats and for dust
accumulation on the floor on the filter chamber. If this is the case, the filter cartridge must be cleaned.
Cleaning/removing and replacing the filter: Use a size 10 open-ended spanner to undo M6 No. 13b. Put a sufficiently large
plastic bag (e.g. 30 or 50 litre rubbish back over the filter cartridge). Pull out the filter cartridge with the plastic bag over the
threaded bar (retaining bolt), No. 13a. Close the plastic bag around the filter cartridge. The fine dust can now be shaken out of
the pleats by shaking the filter cartridge several times. Replace the filter cartridge over the threaded bar and position it over
cantering plate No. 38. Tighten the silicone seal, washer and nut.
Fasten filter chamber cover (as described in 7.3)
The filter cartridge can be re-used several times. After a long service life, the cartridge must be replaced by a new one. This is
because the pores of the filter material gradually seal up over time and can no longer be cleaned by shaking. It is necessary to
replace the (shaken) filter cartridge if the red light comes on again after a fairly short time.

5
N.B. Irrespective of the condition of the filter cartridge, the red indicator light may come on if the synthetic filter is full.
Important
•do not wet clean filter cartridge. Do not blast filter cartridge with compressed air
•when shaking the filter cartridge, be careful not to damage the surface
•in particular, check whether the outside edges of the pleats are roughened. If this is the case, replace the filter
cartridge.
N.B. (referring to 7.3 and 7.4):
- switch the eco off before opening filter chamber cover No. 24. Set main switch No.”1” to position “0” and remove the mains
plug from the socket outlet.
- Dust deposits can build up on the floor of the housing and on the walls in the region of air intake No. 15. Clean off these
deposits before inserting a cleaned or new filter cartridge before changing the synthetic filter.
- If the instructions in this user manual regarding disposal are not allowed (e.g. the use of suitable face masks and adequate
protective clothing) this can lead to dust being inhaled during closing and changing the synthetic filter and the filter cartridge.
Dispose of the synthetic filter to be done properly in accordance to local regulations!
8. Warranty
