4.0 Installation
Remove the BVX-200 Fume Extraction System from packing materials and
place on the floor under workbench or near your work area where fume
extraction is required. Make sure you have access to the unit for filter
maintenance.
Connect the units’ power cord into the outlet on the side of the system. Plug
the power cord into a grounded wall socket.
Warning! To provide protection against the risk of electrical
shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.
Connect the unit to arms/hose as per installation instructions.
To power up system, depress the power switch, located on the bottom right of
the unit. The operator can expect a delay of a few seconds before hearing the
motor running. This is due to the built-in motor “Soft-start” feature.
If utilized, connect the supplied remote Start/Stop switch to the system and site
the switch in a convenient position on the workbench. We recommend that this
switch be used for your convenience; the ‘On’ light will indicate the BVX-200
motors’ On/Off state and will ease switching without the need to bend under
the workbench.
Position the extraction arms to optimize fume capture.

5.0 Maintenance and Cleaning
5.1 Filter Unit - Maintenance and Safety
The BVX-200 Fume Extraction System is designed with low maintenance in
mind. The housing is ESD safe plastic. Here are a few tips to keep your system
running in top shape:
To clean, use a light wipe with a gentle cleaner to prevent build up of
particulate and flux residue (be sure unit is turned off while cleaning).
Do not block both of the inlets or exhaust outlets; this will cause:
•the operating temperature of the system to rise
•a false filter-block alarm,
•potential damage to the unit,
•a drop in performance.
Do not defeat the filter interlock switch. Running the system without a
filter will allow particulates and flux residue to adhere to the blower, decreasing
the life of the system and increasing noise.
Do not lift system while operating.
Be sure to handle filters with care.
5.2 Filter Replacement Timing
Model BVX-201
As fumes are filtered inside the unit, any particulates captured will, over time,
start to clog the filter. The coarse particles are collected in the pre-filter while
fine particles will be collected in the HEPA filter. This clogging will result in a
reduction of the airflow, which may reduce the amount of fumes extracted from
the work area. Once the filters start to become blocked an audible alarm will
sound in the main unit. This is to signify that filter replacement is required.
Initially replace the pre-filter only. If this does not silence the alarm, then
replace the main filter too.
Dependant on application, pre-filters should be replaced approximately three to
five times as frequently as the main filter. We recommend that a stock of
replacement filters be kept for optimal extraction performance and minimum
down-time. Part Numbers are shown in section 8.2 of this User Guide.
