4.3 Connecting activated carbon unit or exhaust air tubes
Due to the process, vapours of the cleaning and rinsing media
discharge at the openings provided for them on the rear side of
the cleaning machine (Fig. 4.3.1.A/B). This area is considered
as an area with increased risk of explosion if the safety
precautions are not complied with.
Two variants are provided for extracting vapours of the cleaning
and rinsing media:
• Activated carbon unit (optional accessory Art. No. 105 3376)
• Exhaust air tubes (included in the scope of delivery) for
connection to an authorised central extractor for this or
transfer to the open air.
It is mandatory to connect the exhaust air tubes (included in the
scope of delivery) to these outlets or to the activated carbon
unit (optional accessory) or a permitted central extraction unit.
The exhaust air tubes may also be led to the outside.
Attention! Danger from explosion / deflagration in the area of
the ventilation openings of the cleaning machine.
Observe the applicable safety regulations for handling
flammable media.
Keep all kinds of ignition sources away from the danger area.
Prevent ignition sparks from electrostatic discharge.
Use the activated carbon unit or exhaust air tubes protection
measures described in this chapter.
Strictly observe the protection measures shown here.
1. Connect the 2 exhaust air tubes (included in the scope of
delivery) to the respective connections Fig. 4.3.1.A and
Fig. 4.3.1.B. In doing so, the connection coupling must
audibly engage in each case!
2. Fix the exhaust air tubes using the fixing clamps provided
for them. Fig. 4.3.1. C
Attention! Danger from explosion / deflagration!
Solvent vapours discharge at the ends of the exhaust air tubes
during the cleaning operation. This area is considered as a
potentially explosive area.
Either place the ends of the exhaust air tubes (maximum tube
length 5 metres) in the open air or connect them to an
authorised central extractor.
Keep ignition sources away from the ends of the exhaust air
tubes.
The danger areas are marked with the appropriate warning
sticker.
