1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Identication of the product
The identication plate contains, among other things, the
following data:
- product name
- serial number
1.2 General description
The Spring Operated Exhaust Hose Reel (SER) removes
exhaust gas fumes from a facility and prevents extraction
hoses from trailing over the workshop oor. SER takes up a
small space, can be mounted to the ceiling or on a wall, and
functions best in workshops with xed working areas. SER
includes either one or two heavy-duty springs that are factory
installed to the outside of the reel assembly; an operator pulls
the hose down to a convenient position, which locks the hose
in place; when no longer needed, the operator recoils the hose
by pulling down on the hose, allowing the hose to recoil in a
controlled manner.
1.3 Product combinations
The SER can be used in central systems or with a direct mount
fan kit. It is designed to operate with hose diameters of 100,
125, 160 and 200 mm (4, 5, 6, and 8 in.).
Note: Direct Mount fans are NOT available for the 200 mm (8
in.) version.
1.4 Technical data
SER contains a high-quality sealed coil spring cassette (an
additional cassette can be factory installed to increase lifting
capacity), which is enclosed in a sealed metal casing. The
spring cassette is located on the outside of the hose reel
assembly to simplify replacement, if needed. The maximum
length of the hose depends on the weight as well as the
installation. The SER maximum lifting capacity is 18,2 kg (40
lbs) with a single spring cassette, and 34 kg (75 lbs) with two
spring cassettes.
Fig. 1.4 SER hose reel with hose
Note: The optional second spring cassette is available for 850,
1050 and 1050-200 models only.
A. Hose reel drum provides a secure and space-friendly
storage location for the hose:
- smooth, zinc-plated drum on which the hose rolls;
- drum end plates are powder-coated yellow.
B. Console - zinc-coated steel frame provides support and
strength for longevity and robustness.
C. A-frame - Primered and powder-coated steel.
D. Ratchet lock (not shown) holds the hose in the required
position. The hose is released at the next pull.
E. Hose - must be ordered separately; the MAS kit must be
ordered separately and includes a hose stop-ring with
clamp so that the hose stop can be positioned for adequate
height on return.
F. High quality sealed coil spring cassette (an additional
cassette can be factory installed to increase lifting capacity),
which is enclosed in a sealed metal casing.
Note: The 200 mm (8 in.) reel has a 200 mm (8 in.) duct
connection tting.

1.4.1 Maximum hose length
The maximum hose length that SER supports is dependent on
these factors:
- the specic version of SER hose reel ordered;
- the type and size of the hose;
- the nozzle;
For example, a 125 mm (5 in.) standard hose can be wrapped
around the drum for a maximum of ve rotations, which would
equal 8,2 m (27 ft). The table below demonstrates the total
weight of the Plymovent EF hose, REGD nozzle and rubber
hose stop. Each system’s total weight will vary.

1.6 Transport of the unit
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any transportation
damage after shipment of the unit. Always handle the unit and
the accompanying options and/or accessories, if any, with
care.
The hose reel is bolted on a skid and delivered with a ceiling or
wall mounting bracket. Based on SER being ordered, the duct
connection includes either a Ø 165 mm (6.5 in.) with reducer
to 160 mm (6 in.) or a Ø 200 mm (8 in.) duct connection
collar.
2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Operation
SER works according to the “blind” principle. The operator
pulls the hose to lock it into the required position and pulls a
second time to recoil the hose on the reel. The hose stopper is
set to the required height when returning the hose to the reel.
WARNING!
The sealed spring cassette contains a powerful
spring and must not be opened. Be careful when
servicing the SER product. If you have any
questions about the content in this manual, please
contact Plymovent or your Plymovent authorised
distributor. Be careful when operating the hose reel
so as to avoid damage to persons and property.

4 INSTALLATION
4.1 Assembly
Tools:
These tools are needed to install SER:
- Power Drill/Electric Screw gun
- General hand tools/wrenches
- Screw drivers
Complete these steps to install the SER hose reel, as indicated
in g. 4.1a.
• Set the tension on the exhaust reel according to the
Pre-tension table in this section. Turn the drum in the
direction of the arrow; see arrow on the sticker of spring
housing.
• Dismantle drum lid A (not needed for SER-1050-200
version)
• Mount MAS Kit.
• Mount hose to the socket inside the drum using clamp (E).
• Bend hose into a natural soft curve and fasten it using
clamp (B).
• Re-mount the drum lid (A).
• Mount the edge protection (C) at the opening of the drum
where the hose protrudes.
• Mount the hose stop-ring (D) so that the hose stops at a
convenient height when it is reeled in.
• The console holes are pre-set for the correct diameter
hose, as shown in g. 4.1b.
Fig. 4.1a Hose reel assembly
Note: For the SER-1050-200 version, the MAS kit is not
needed, as it uses a dierent hose mounting method for
the 200 mm (8 in.) hoses.

4.2.1 Wall mounting maximum height
Use the Reach and mounting height chart for specic hose
lengths and maximum hose reach, as shown in g. 4.2.1.

Use the Reach and mounting height chart for specic hose
lengths and maximum hose reach, as shown in g. 4.2.2.
Fig. 4.2.2 Mounting hose reel on ceiling
WARNING!
After installation, operators must be made aware
that a “quarter turn” of the hose should always
remain on the drum, as shown in g. 4.2.2a.
If the hose is pulled down completely, the entire
hose is removed from the drum and the recoil
mechanism is locked. The hose reel will no longer
retract the hose. If this occurs, the drum must be
turned manually by the drum plate for the recoil
mechanism to release.
CAUTION!
When the reel is mounted to a rigid structure like an
iron beam or concrete, then use the dimensions
provided. However, when the reel is being mounted
to porous or otherwise doubtful materials like hollow
brick, threaded rod, lightweight concrete, plaster
etc., please consult a Plymovent expert.
Fig. 4.2.2a Example of SER showing
that at least a quarter turn
of hose must remain on
drum to prevent recoil
mechanism from locking.
ATTENTION
When horizontally mounting a reel that contains
either a 150 mm or 200 mm (6 in. or 8 in.) hose, it
is recommended that you attach the hose so that it
rotates around the “front” of the hose reel drum
(away from the column or wall).
This will prevent the hose from scraping the
horizontal “console” bar, or colliding with any items
attached to the column or wall below the reel.

4.3 Mounting options
4.3.1 Direct mount fan
The SER includes ceiling or wall mounting attachment foot. All
SER versions except for 1050-200 can be connected to a
central exhaust system or tted with a fan.
First, mount the fan with the reel upside down on the oor and
then mount the complete reel to its intended position, as
shown in g. 4.3.1a through g. 4.3.1d.
• With hose reel securely installed in position or placed on a
level working surface, insert the DMF Bracket with the bolts
and hand tighten the nuts into position (A).
• Place rubber collar on the inlet spigot of fan (B).
• Align fan bolt holes with the holes in the fan bracket. Insert
bolts and tighten slightly. Slide the bracket up and down
parallel to the A-frame center to align with the hose reel
outlet. Tighten bolts to ensure the unit is properly secured
(C).
• Unfold the rubber collar over the reel’s spigot (For North
America customers, a synthetic rubber-coated sleeve is
applied with two hose clamps) (D).
Note: Direct mount fans are PV Model FUA-1800, 2100 or
2700. Refer to FUA fan product data sheet for additional
data.
4.3.2 Micro Switch MSR-24/2
To insert the micro switch, follow these steps, as shown in g.
4.3.2.
• Insert the circuit-breaker’s feeler (A) into the hole (B).
• Secure circuit-breaker using enclosed screws (C).
• Check that the circuit-breaker can move freely in both
directions.
• Pull out the hose and obtain 4 notches on one of the lock
segments.
• Mount the operating springs (D) on the drum by loosening
two of the screws (E) that hold the drum.
• Refasten screws.
• For electrical installation, refer to the electrical connection
schematic in the manual for the specic controller that is
being used in the installation.
