WARNING
Mar ‘95
ELECTRIC AND
MAGNETIC FIELDS
may be dangerous
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes
localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding
current creates EMF fields around welding cables and
welding machines
2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and
welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician
before welding.
2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health
effects which are now not known.
2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
2.d.1.
Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure
them with tape when possible.
2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.
2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and
work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right
side, the work cable should also be on your right side.
2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded.
2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the
radiator pressure cap when the engine is
hot.

ARC RAYS can burn.
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes from sparks and
the rays of the arc when welding or observing
open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens
should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from
the arc rays.
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can
kill.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits
are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.
Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare
skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free
gloves to insulate hands.
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full
area of physical contact with work and ground.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding
must be performed under electrically hazardous
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or
scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,
kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or
accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use
the following equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical
connection with the metal being welded. The connection
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical
(earth) ground.
3.f.
Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of
electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage
between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage
of both welders.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.
Mar ‘95
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases.When welding, keep
your head out of the fume. Use enough
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When
welding with electrodes which require special
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings
which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as
low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)
using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In
confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a
respirator may be required. Additional precautions are
also required when welding on galvanized steel.
5.b.
Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to
form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating prod-
ucts.
5.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,
especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
5.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your
employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.
5.e. Also see item 1.b.

FOR ELECTRICALLY
powered equipment.
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect
switch at the fuse box before working on
the equipment.
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
CYLINDER may explode
if damaged.
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders
containing the correct shielding gas for the
process used and properly operating
regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for
the application and maintained in good condition.
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
7.c. Cylinders should be located:
• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to
physical damage.
• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and
any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet
when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand
tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for
use.
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas
cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,
“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in
Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association
1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

SAFETY
iii
Mar ‘95
WELDING SPARKS can
cause fire or explosion.
6.a.
Remove fire hazards from the welding area.
If this is not possible, cover them to prevent
the welding sparks from starting a fire.
Remember that welding sparks and hot
materials from welding can easily go through small cracks
and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near
hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,
special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous
situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI
Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the
equipment being used.
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode
circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact
can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures
will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances
inside. They can cause an explosion even
though they have
been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended
Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of
Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous
Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society
(see address above).
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or
welding. They may explode.
6.f.
Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil
free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,
cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a
welding area.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding
area as practical. Work cables connected to the building
framework or other locations away from the welding area
increase the possibility of the welding current passing
through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir-
cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains
or cables until they fail.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-
antes:
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans
trous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher
metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble
de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état
defonctionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le
total de la tension à vide des deux machines.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie
du corps.
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,
donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-
onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde l’arc.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de
l‘arc.
c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-
talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où l’on pique le laitier.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque d’incendie.
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible
de la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place
la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres
endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque
de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-
age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer
des risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,
voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA
Standard W 117.2-1974.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-
er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have
thoroughly read all installation, operating and mainte-
nance information supplied with your eqUipment. They
include
important safety precautions and detailed
operating and maintenance instructions.
A WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts such
as internal wiring.
• Turn the input power off at the fuse box
before working
on this equipment.
• Have a qualified person install and ser-
vice this equipment.
MOVING PARTS can injure.
• Do not operate with covers open or fil-
ter removed.
• Keep away from moving parts.
FIRE HAZARD!!
• Never use this product for filtering flam-
able, glowing
or burning particles or liquids. Never use
this product for filtering aggressive vapors (such
as
hydrochloric acid)
For safety reasons, most welding applications require
the
installation of the preseparator along with a
Statiflex 6000-MS. This Preseparator will reduce the
risk of fire. Verify with a qualified engineer that the
complete system is properly designed to remove hot
particles from the airstream prior to the preseparator.
Only qualified personnel should install, use or service
this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Statiflex 6000-MS is a filtration system for low
vacuum, high volume extraction systems. This filter
system is often used in
conjunction with Lincoln
SF2400 Fan units, maximum of 5 in operation at one
time, for a maximum capacity of 3,750 CFM (6,400
m3/h). The Statiflex 6000-MS features two large cellu-
lose filter cartridges which provide 99.8% filtration with
1,400 ft2 of surface area (130m2 ).
Dirty air enters through the preseparator, which sepa-
rates out larger particles, then into the inlet of the
Statiflex 6000-MS, through the outside of the filter car-
tridges and out the outlet.
The Statiflex 6000-MS uses
an automatic filter clean-
ing system
to maintain the filter and reduce mainte-
nance costs. Fume collected
on the outside of the fil-
ter is knocked off by a blast of compressed air from
the cleaning system. Fume then drops into the dust
collection drum at the bottom of the unit.
When the pressure drop across the filter reaches a set
point due
to an increase in fume on the outside of the
filter, a solenoid releases air from a compressed air
reservoir tank mounted inside the filter cartridge. This
air goes through several holes
in the cleaning tube,
cleaning
one section of the filter with multiple air jets.
The cleaning tube then shifts to the next section of the
filter until the pressure drop again reaches the set
point, triggering the next cleaning pulse.
A manual cleaning cycle
is initiated by pressing the
button on the face of the control box. The system
pauses between sections of the filter, allowing the air
tank
to repressurize. The Statiflex 6000-MS requires
90 -105 psi of clean, dry compressed air to function
properly.
A timer
in the control box can also set preset times for
automatic filter cleaning, on-line or off-line.
INSTALLING THE
STATIFLEX 6000-MS
A WARNING
The installer is responsible for following local safety
codes and regulations.
Before drilling, verify locations
of existing gas, water,
or electrical conduits.
This section
describes installation of the Statiflex
6000-MS and
preseparator only. For information
regarding the installation of wall mounted arms or
SF2400 Fans, consult the manuals packed with these
items. When using individual station fans, such as the
SF2400 fan, a K1743-1, 6" backdraft damper, should
be used at the outlet of each fan. This will prevent
dirty air from passing through idle fans and into the
room.

The Statiflex 6000-MS Filter Unit Includes:
• Central Filter cabinet with cleaning system, filter car-
tridges, inlet flange and control box all installed.
• Two (2) leg assemblies with mounting hardware.
• Drum with flange, valve and coupler
The Preseparator Includes:
• Preseparator ductwork
• Drum with flange, valve and coupler
Mount the Statiflex where there
is sufficient space
overhead to change the filter cargtridges (30 inches
(7S0mm) of clearance or 12 ft (3.66m) floor to ceiling
height). Refer to the dimensional drawings on page
A-1 for other spacing requirements.
Using a fork lift, raise the fitler cabinet and install the
two leg assemblies as shown.
Mount the coupler on top of the drum and position
underneath the Statiflex Fitler Cabinet. Using a hose
clamp, connect the coupler to the filter unit and seal.
Be sure that the valve in the lid is in the open (vertical)
position.
Installing the Preseparator
Connect the preseparator outlet to the inlet of the
Statiflex 6000-MS. Mount the coupler on top of the
drum and position underneath the preseparator. Using
a hose clamp, connect the coupler to the preseparator
and seal. Be sure that the valve
in the lid is in the
open (vertical) position.
Compressed Air
Connect 90 -
10S psi (6-7 bar) of clean, dry com-
pressed air to the regulator mounted on the filter unit
next to the control box. DO NOT INITIATE A CLEAN-
ING CYCLE DURING THE FIRST TEN HOURS OF
OPERATION!!! This allows the precoating powder to
get established
on the surface of the filter. If a clean-
ing cycle is initiated during this initial period, the pre-
coating powder may not be well established on the
cartridge and will result
in lower efficiency and shorter
life.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
A WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts such
as internal wiring.
• Turn the input power off at the fuse
box before working on this equipment.
• Have a qualified person install and ser-
vice this eqUipment.
All local codes and standards supercede any of the
following installation instructions.
Only a qualified electrician should electrically connect
the Statiflex 6000-MS.
Connect grounded 11 OV AC to the control box as
shown
in the wiring diagram. Be sure that the trans-
former
is connected for 11 OV input power and that the
input power is properly connected with the strain
relief.
The control box
is not suitable for outdoor installation.
If the filter unit must be installed outdoors, the control
box must
be removed from the filter unit and remotely
mounted indoors. This should
be performed by a
qualified electrician and done to all applicable codes
and standards.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
A WARNING
-Do not touch electrically live parts such
as output terminals or internal wiring.
-Insulate yourself from the work and
ground.
-Always wear dry insulating gloves.
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or
explosion.
-Keep flammable material away.
-Do not weld upon containers which
have held combustibles.
ARC RAYS can burn.
-Wear eye, ear and body protection.
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
-Although the removal of the particu-
late matter from welding smoke may
reduce the ventilation requirement,
concentrations of the clear exhausted
fumes and gases may still be haz-
ardous to health. Avoid breathing
concentrations of these fumes and
gases. Use adequate ventilation
when welding. See ANSI Z49.1,
"Safety in Welding and Cutting", pub-
lished by the American Welding
Society.
Only qualified personnel should operate this equip-
ment.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always operate this equipment with the filter and arm
installed and all covers in place as these provide max-
imum protection from moving parts and insure proper
vacuum operation and cooling air flow.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The operation of fans and extraction arms is covered
under manuals shipped with that equipment. The fol-
lowing instructions refer primarily to the filter cleaning
system of the Statiflex 6000-MS
The inlet of the Statiflex 6000-MS is the upper con-
nection on the corner of the unit. The outlet is in the .
middle, at the bottom. Dirty air enters the inlet (usually
through the preseparator to remove the larger parti-
cles), passes around the baffle and through the filter
cartridges. The standard cartridges are cellulose
(paper); polyester replacements are available. The
clean air passes through the inside of the cartridges,
downward and through the outlet. The filter cartridges
filter out 99.8% of the particles, but do not remove
gases. While typically not produced in large quantities
in the arc welding environment, the build-up of these
gases should be avoided. Plasma cutting commonly
produces noticalbe amounts of gases such as oxides
of Nitrogen (NOx). Exhaust air from plasma cutting
(after filtering) should be exhausted outside where
applicable.
A preseparator is strongly recommended for most
applications and is mandatory for cutting applications.
Lincoln Electric should review the system design of
any system used for cutting to verify best protection
against risk of fire in the filter cartridges.
As the filters collect fume on their surfaces, the pres-
sure drop will increase and airflow will decrease. A fil-
ter cleaning system is installed to keep the pressure
drop at a reasonable and stable level. This system
operates automatically due to pressure drop and/or
preset times, or manually. Compressed air from the
reservoir tank blows through several holes in the
cleaning tube, knocking dust and fume from one sec-
tion of the filter cartridges. The cleaning tube then
rotates to the next section of the filters and waits while

OPERATION
the tank refills with compressed air.
Automatic cleaning due to pressure drop
The cleaning system will automatically signal a cleaning
pulse due to increased pressure drop. When the pres-
sure drop across the filters reaches a set point, one
cleaning pulse is signalled. The system then waits for
further signals. During normal operation, the indicator
light will blink quickly. During the cleaning cycle, the indi-
cator light will be
on all the time. If the cleaning pulse
does not reduce the pressure drop below the set pOint,
the system will continue to pulse. If the pressure drop is
not reduced below the set point after 240 pulses
(approximately 4 hours), the indicator light will blink
slowly
and the alarm buzer will sound.
To deactivate the alarm buzzer and alarm status of the
indicator light, press
the start/reset button on the control
box. Work can continue while the cause of the alarm is
determined. The cleaning system will continue to attempt
to lower the pressure drop below the set point for anoth-
er 240 pulses.
Automatic cleaning with the timer
In addition to the pressure drop cleaning, preset cleaning
times can be established. These times will signal clean-
ing whether the fans are in operation or not. This allows
for off-line cleaning
as well as maintenance of filters dur-
ing low-airflow operation. When there is low airflow (only
one or two arms in operation), the pressure drop will be
naturally low, even though dust accumulates on the sur-
face. When higer airlflow is used (all five arms are
in
use), this residual dust may cause a higher pressure
drop and result in
an alarm condition. In applications
where this variability may happen, as well as cutting
operations, timed cleaning
is recommended.
DO NOT USE THE TIMER CLEANING DURING THE
FIRST TEN HOURS OF OPERATION!! This allows the
precoating powder
to get established on the surface of
the filter. If a cleaning cycle is initiated during this initial
period, the precoating powder may not be well estab-
lished on the cartridge and will result in lower efficiency
and shorter life.
Timers can be set on the timer clock located in the con-
trol box. The cleaning cycle will run continuously (factory
set
at one pulse per minute) during the on time. The one
minute interval
can be lengthened by adjusting the timer
relay to the right of the clock timer (off-time). One full
revolution
of the filters takes approsimately 60 pulses.
Adjusting the cleaning and pause time.
The cleaning
and pause times for the pressure-drop acti-
vated cleaning cycle are preprogrammed into the
PC board softaware. The times for the clock-timer
operated cleaning, however, are adjustable using
the timer relay
to the right of the clock timer. The
cleaning pulse time (upper dials) is pre-set to 1
second. This should not
be adjusted. The pause
time has a
minimum one minute, but can be
increased using the lower dials. For off-line clean-
ing, longer pause times allow the fine dust to settle
to the drum.
Manual Cleaning
DO NOT INITIATE A CLEANING CYCLE DURING
THE FIRST TEN HOURS OF OPERATION!! This
allows
the precoating powder to get established on
the surface of the filter. If a cleaning cycle is initiat-
ed during this initial period, the precoating powder
may not
be well established on the cartridge and
will result in lower efficiency and shorter life.
A full cleaning cycle (one complete revolution
around the filter) can be initiated by pressing the
start/reset button
on the control box. During this
time, the cleaning pulse will fire, the tank will refill
during a pause time, then the next section of the
filter will be cleaned. This will continue until the
complete filter has been cleaned. During the entire
revolution, the indicator will light continuously. The
cycle
can be stopped at any time by pressing the
start/reset button.

MAINTENANCE C-1
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Every six months, check the filter cartridges for dam-
age, clogging or over-build-up of dust. Every month,
check the drums and seals of the drums for both the
filter unit and preseparator. Depending upon the appli-
cation, check the dust level in the drums weekly.
CHANGING THE DUST BAG
(where used)
A WARNING
The particulate matter collected may be dangerous to
your health. Take necessary precautions so that you
and your fellow workers do not breathe the dust and
particulate. Wear a suitable respirator when disposing
of the particulate.
Check with local authorities for regulations governing
the disposal of this material.
Turn off all fans before opening or inspecting the
drums or filters.
Move the lever on the drum valve into the closed (hor-
izontal) position to avoid dust dropping down from the
inside of the filter unit during serviceing. Open the
drum seal and slide the drum from underneath the fil-
ter unit (or preseparator). Tie off the opening of the
bag before removing from the drum; slowly remove
the bag. SEE WARNING ABOVE. Install a new bag,
replace the drum, seal tightly, and open the drum
valve.
Check with local authorities for regulations governing
the disposal of this material. SEE WARNINGS
ABOVE.
REPLACING THE FILTER CARTRIDGES
Replace the filter cartridges when they have. bee.n
damaged or when the indicator shows that the filter IS
clogged. The filter indicator will flash slowly and the
alarm buzzer will sound if the cleaning function does
not reduce the pressure drop below the set point after
240 pulses (-4 hours). This could be due to a saturat-
ed filter, lack of compressed air, low air pressure,
cleaning equipment malfunction or dirt, oil or moisture
in the compressed air. Oil or moisture in the inlet
airstream will also greatly reduce the life of the filter.
A WARNING
The particulate matter collected may be dangerous to
your health. Take necessary precautions so that you
and your fellow workers do not breathe the dust and
particulate. Wear a suitable respirator when disposing
of the particulate.
Check with local authorities for regulations governing
the disposal of this material.
1. Turn off all fans connected to the system.
2. Remove the top lid of the Statiflex 5000-MS (B)
and remove the filter cover (C).
3. Remove the top filter (D) by pulling up on the two
straps on the filter.
4. Remove the intermediate ring that seals the two
filters together (E).
5. Remove the second filter by pulling up on the two
straps (F).
5. When unpacking a new filter, notice that the filter
has been treated with precoating powder. Some of
this powder may have settled to the bottom of the
packaging. .
7. Install a new filter, the intermediate ring and a new
filter on top of the intermediate ring.
8. Replace the filter cover and lid. Be sure that all
components are properly seated and sealed.
9. Do not use the cleaning system during the first 10
hours of operation to allow the precoating powder
to establish on the filter surface. Excess powder
found in the packaging can be added to the
airstream when the filters are installed.
