The BVX-100 fume extractor is a bench top fume extraction system specifically designed for portability

and performance. This unit meets the needs of both single users and today’s fast-paced, flexible

manufacturing. The key benefits of this system compared to larger, multi-user machines include: no

installation required, flexibility in operation (plenum or arm), a small footprint that allows bench top

placement, quiet operation, bi-color LED light to indicate a blocked filter, 50 CFM (85 m

/h) air flow - the

same as the multi-user systems with 50mm arms, and ESD safe materials.

The BVX-100 consists of a 12” wide (300mm) plenum, with your choice of two, high-quality, filtration

methods. For clean room quality filtration, use the 99.997% efficient HEPA filter. In addition, for light duty

organic solvent and adhesive applications, a deep bed carbon filter is also available.

An under-bench mounting bracket, for use with the existing range of Metcal arms and nozzles, can be

purchased when bench-top space is at a premium. Replacement arms, nozzles and filters are also

available for the BVX-100.

SYSTEM SET-UP and OPERATION

Remove BVX-100 from packaging materials and place on workbench where fume extraction is

necessary. Plug the power cord into the outlet on the back of the system. Plug the power cord into a

grounded wall socket.

WARNING: To provide protection against the risk of

electrical shock, connect only to properly grounded

outlets.

To power the system, click the power switch located

on the top left of the unit to the “1” position. The LED

light will illuminate green when system is “On.” If you

plan on using the unit with an arm, install the arm prior

to powering the system (see Arm Operation for

installation instructions). Test the “Blocked Filter” LED

Indicator to assure proper operation by blocking the

front of the hose or plenum. If operating properly, the
