5 Operation
WARNING! Ignition risk for some dust or solvents.
• Do not collect material that is caustic, explosive, highly flammable, chemically
unstable, spontaneously ignitable, or which can release sparks.
• Check that no objects that can cause a spark or fire are sucked in to the arm, or
impact against the hood.
• Avoid mixing dust from different processes, for example service
See Figure 12. The extractor arm can easily be positioned at any point within its
working area. It can be rotated 1800 when wall mounted and 3600 when ceiling
mounted. For best capture, the hood should be positioned as near the fume or dust
generating process as possible. The hood (on some models) is equipped with a
damper which can be adjusted with a lever.
Max air flow: 1000 cfm (1700 m3/hr). Also check local directions.
Always check that the airflow is sufficient in the hood before work begins.
Insufficent airflow depends on:
•The fan impeller rotating in the wrong direction.
•Hood, hose or 900-bend are blocked.
•Filter cartridges are blocked.
6 Service and Ceaning
Treat NEX D/DX as a part of other machinery and clean it according to the cleaning
procedure plan. Clean and check it periodically according to the instructions
in sections 6.1 to 6.4.
WARNING! Risk of personal injury.
• Use a dust filter mask and other necessary PPE safety equipment when cleaning
the NEX D/DX.
• There is a squeeze/crush risk at the horizontal link on 4m and 5m models.
The NEX D/DX can be dry or wet cleaned:
•Dry cleaning: Vacuum & wipe the components externally and internally if necessary.
•Wet cleaning: Use a detergent solution that will not damage the product. See section
3 for materials of construction. Follow advice from the manufacturer of the detergent
solution regarding dosage and washing method. Rinse with clean water using low
pressure and hot water 100-100 0F
Avoid directly rinsing sleeves, joints and so on. Let the NEX-arm dry before it is used
