5 Installation and Startup
5.1 Device Assembly
The device must always be set up horizontally on a rigid and, if possible, vibration isolated base.
The minimum distances between the device and ceilings, walls etc. required to ensure proper operation are:
Top of the device (exhaust air outlet): > 800 mm
Motor side: > 500 mm
Door side: > 800 mm
Bottom of the device (siphon connection): > 500 mm
These minimum distances must be observed to ensure that the device can operate properly.
5.2 Pipe or Hose Connections
Devices for connecting suction pipes or hoses must be arranged as follows:
§ Kink-free
§ Large bending radius (radius ³ diameter)
§ About 3° slope toward the air purification device or suction point
§ No water pockets or sagging pipes
§ If low points are unavoidable, for instance in passages that run below girders, the lowest point is to
be equipped with a condensate drain with a siphon outflow.
The extraction opening on your processing machines should be fitted with a baffle plate to prevent droplets
of coolant lubricant from entering the pipe:
§ There should be a ca. 100 mm gap between this opening and the wall
§ The cover over the extraction opening should be at least 100 mm on all sides
§ The surface of the annular passage should be at least as large as the cross-sectional area of the
suction pipe.
5.3 Siphon Connections
Two ½“ outlets (three outlets for AFS 12000 and AFS 16000) are located on the bottom of the device for
draining the coolant lubricant.
A siphon connection must be installed at each opening and filled with coolant lubricant.
The siphon lines must lead to a collection container or a collecting pipe.
The following points must always be observed. Otherwise the device will no longer function
properly.
§ Siphon design as a U pipe or loop based on Figure 4.
§ The distance between the bottom of the device and the top siphon loop must be:
· At AFS devices 600-1600 at least 200 mm
· At AFS devices 3000-16000 at least 250 mm
§ The height of the loop or U pipe must be:
· At AFS devices 600-1600 at least 200 mm
· At AFS devices 3000-16000 at least 250 mm
§ The pipe must point downward in the direction of the collection container or collecting pipe.
§ No low points or water pockets.
§ Each siphon opening must be connected separately.
