SAFETY AND APPLICATION
PACE Fume Extraction systems are designed to reduce the level of harmful contaminants from the work
environment and to assist in the achievement of recommended health and safety requirements for local
exhaust ventilation and contaminant removal. Be sure to follow all Application and Maintenance
guidelines contained herein and precautions contained in other relevant product safety literature (i.e.,
Material Safety Data Sheets) provided with the substances and equipment producing the fumes to be
extracted.
DISCLAIMER
PACE hereby disclaims all responsibility for any personal injury, property damage, fine, citation or
penalty imposed by any government or private entity which results from any use, misuse or mis-
application of this product, failure of the user to regularly maintain the product according to the
recommended guidelines, or failure to adequately monitor fume extraction exhaust air and the ambient
workplace air for the presence of harmful levels of gases, fumes and particulates. Compliance with all
applicable environmental and personnel safety regulations is the sole responsibility of the user and
adequate self-monitoring of exhaust air released into the atmosphere or the workplace as well as
monitoring of the ambient workplace air is strongly recommended. To insure continued effective
performance, the following guidelines must be followed.
SAFETY
DANGERS
1. PACE Fume Extractors are not intended to be used as a substitute for devices such as personal
protective respirators which are designed to remove poorly adsorbed substances including carbon
monoxide, methane, hydrogen, acetylene and other gases. Risk of serious injury or death, fire or
explosion may result from improper use. If in doubt, consult with your industrial hygienist or PACE.
2. Never use PACE Fume Extraction Systems to extract fumes from highly flammable liquids and gases
such as Ether, Gasoline (Petrol) and others. Risk of serious injury, death, fire or explosion may result.
3. High concentrations of airborne contaminants such as Methyl Ethyl Keytone, Cyclohexone,
O one and others, when contacted with activated carbon, can undergo oxidation, decomposition or
polymeri ation resulting in exothermic reactions or heat generation. PACE Fume Extraction Systems
must not be used to extract fumes from these substances when high concentrations are present.
4. Failure to comply with the application and maintenance guidelines, filter replacement schedules,
monitoring recommendations and safety guidelines contained herein and in other relevant product
safety literature (i.e., Material Safety Data Sheets) provided with the substances and equipment
producing the fumes to be extracted could result in risk of serious injury, fire or explosion.
WARNINGS
1. Do not attempt to clean any PACE fume extraction filters for reuse. Cleaning the filters will severely
damage the filter media and, consequently, the filter's performance. This will result in unfiltered,
contaminated air being returned to the working environment. Unfiltered air can also damage the motor
pump.

SAFETY AND APPLICATION
2. Use with inappropriate chemicals or substances, failure to provide regular maintenance or other
misuse of your Fume Extraction System may result in contaminated air being recirculated into the
work environment.
CAUTIONS
1. Failure to supply the correct voltage to the unit will result in damage to the motor. NOTES 1. To
ensure the highest level of performance, use only PACE replacement filters in your PACE Fume
Extraction System. 2. BE SURE the new filter cartridge is installed with the airflow arrow pointing
downward.
FILTER CARTRIDGE NOTES
PACE Fume Extraction Systems are equipped with filters designed to capture particulates and
noxious gases and odors that are present in the air being filtered. The Fume Extraction systems are
equipped with combinations of pre-filters for coarse particle removal, HEPA filters for fine particle
removal, and gas filter media to remove gaseous compounds. Over time, the HEPA filter will
gradually become clogged, impeding air flow through the system, and the capacity of the gas filter
will be reached, reducing its ability to continue to neutrali e and adsorb noxious gases and odors.
Filter Cartridges must be replaced at regular intervals to ensure that the fume extraction system is
operating effectively. These intervals will vary depending on the type of work being performed, the
level of use, and the amount and composition of airborne contaminants produced. The exhaust air
stream from the central filtration unit as well as the ambient air in the workplace should be
monitored with appropriate and adequate measuring/detection devices to assure compliance with
all applicable Health and Safety regulations.
Flammable vapors and gases (i.e. Isopropyl Alcohol) are removed by and accumulate in the gas
portion of the Filter Cartridge presenting a potential fire ha ard. Therefore, the user must exercise
appropriate precautions when extracting such fumes or when handling and disposing of filters
containing such flammable substances.
Follow all fire safety and personnel protection guidelines contained in the Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS) for the substance(s) producing the extracted vapors and gases (fumes). When
disposing of used filters, extreme care must be taken to comply with all applicable environmental
regulations. Carefully consult the MSDS supplied with the material(s) producing the fume. If in
doubt, check with your local Environmental Authority.
Extreme care must be exercised when disposing of a used Filter Cartridges containing potentially
ha ardous substances. When disposing of filters, appropriate and adequate personal protective
equipment (i.e. gloves, respirators, plastic containment bags, etc.) must be used when ha ardous
substances such as asbestos, lead, radioactive or bioha ard materials may be present. Consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the materials generating the extracted fume.

ARM-EVAC® 250 & 200 SYSTEMS
INSTALLATION
GENERAL
The Arm-Evac 250 and Arm-Evac 200 have been designed with maximum installation flexibility in
mind. A number of configurations may be used. (See the "Configurations" section.) The following
are recommended guidelines for setting up your system. If you have any specific questions that this
section does not cover please consult your PACE Representative or call PACE directly.
1. Placement
There are 3 major considerations that need to be addressed for proper placement of the central
filtration unit.
• Exhaust Port: This is located on the back of the filtration unit, next to the power inlet. When
positioning the unit, make sure that the exhaust port is not blocked or that airflow from the exhaust
port is not restricted in any way.
• Unit Location: The filtration unit should be positioned so that it will not block aisleways or impede
normal operating traffic or material handling pathways. It is important to position the unit to allow
for proper clearance to remove the filter access cover and replace the filter as needed.
• Proximity to the work area: The filtration unit should be placed as close to the work area as
possible. If using a flex hose, it is advantageous to keep the length of flex hose as short as
possible. Do not kink or create any sharp bends in the flex hose, as this will reduce airflow.
2. Power
The Arm-Evac 250/200 will plug into a standard 110 volt or 230 volt electrical outlet, depending on
the model you purchased. A line cord is provided with each system. Be sure the unit you have is
rated for the intended power supply.
Caution
Failure to supply the correct voltage to the unit will result in damage to the motor.
3. Self-Calibration Procedure
IMPORTANT
This procedure must be performed on the Arm-Evac 250 before initial
operation.
4. Filters
Before operating the unit, make sure the filters are correctly positioned. The pre-filter is always
located on top, and the direction of airflow is clearly marked on the filter cartridge. Airflow is
always in a downward direction for the Arm-Evac 250/200.
5. Inlet Caps
If an inlet port is not connected to a collection device, it must be covered with the inlet cap
provided.

ARM-EVAC® 250 & 200 SYSTEMS
OPERATION
ARM-EVAC 250
Self-Calibration Feature The Arm-Evac 250 contains advanced microprocessor-based sensing
technology which allows for self-calibration of the filter condition monitor by establishing clean
filter air flow conditions (that is, 0% filter blockage) and fully clogged filter flow conditions (that is,
100% filter blockage). Further, this procedure insures that the air flow sensing process is
consistent with and particular to the accessory configuration array and filters being used.
Self-Calibration Procedure
NOTE
This procedure must be performed on the Arm-Evac 250 before initial operation,
whenever a filter changeout occurs and whenever a change in system configuration
occurs. DO NOT make any adjustments to the accessory configurations during calibration
as this will disrupt the self-calibration process.
1) The normal operating position of the Keyed Switch (item ®) is in a vertical position.
2) The Keyed Switch is supplied with 2 identical keys. To start the self-calibration procedure, insert
the key into the switch. Turn the Keyed Switch 1/4 turn clockwise (from normal vertical position).
3) Turn the Power Switch (item 6) to the On ("1")
position (Green switch light illuminates). An
audible single beep followed by a double beep
signals initiation of the self-calibration procedure.
The LED lights will sequence from Green to Amber
to Red on the Filter Condition Gauge (item ®)
several times. There is no need to adjust the 3
position Speed Controller (item 0); the self-calibration mode over-rides the controller.
4) The Self-Calibration procedure will require a running time of approximately 2 minutes in order to
establishing clean filter air flow (0% filter blockage) levels for all three speed settings as well as
fully clogged filter levels.
5) When the far right LED remains illuminated, the self-calibration procedure is complete. To
initiate normal operation, turn the Keyed Switch 1/4 turn counter-clockwise. The Red LED will turn
off and the Green LED will illuminate and normal operation will resume. Adjust the 3 position
Speed Controller (item CD) as necessary. To assure tamperproof operation, the key can be
removed from the switch.
6) Daily operations can be initiated by simply turning the Power Switch (illuminates Green when
On) to the "On" ("1") position and setting the 3 position Speed Controller (item 0) to the
appropriate position. A single beep will sound when the Arm-Evac 250 is turned on.

ARM-EVAC® 250 & 200 SYSTEMS
OPERATION
Arm-Evac 250 Filter Condition Display
The Arm-Evac 250 has a graphical Filter Condition Display which continuously monitors filter
condition. As the system filter(s) collect particulates, LEDs on the Filter Condition Display will
illuminate along the graphical curve of the display.
Initially, a Green LED will illuminate (at bottom of graph). As the air flow rate decreases (as the
filter(s) start to become clogged), LEDs will illuminate high on the graphical curve.
Illumination colors will darken to shades of Yellow and finally to Red as the illumination reaches
the top of the graphical curve.
When the first Red LED illuminates, it is indicating insufficient air flow. Replacement of the filter(s)
at this point is highly recommended. Refer to "Filter Replacement", page 12. If the last Red LED (at
the upper right of display) illuminates, an alarm will sound. Immediately, turn system power off
(Power Switch) and change filters.
CAUTION
Overheating may occur and cause motor damage if the system is operated
with completely clogged filters.
Optional Benchtop Controller for Arm-Evac 250
An optional Benchtop Controller (PIN 8884-2250) is available for the Ann-Evac 250 to enable
convenient access to the three speed flow control switch (refer to item 2, next page), and
surveillance of the filter condition display (refer to item CI, next page).
