Owners Manual

 
 

Rugged, Durable All Metal Construction and ESD-Safe, the ZT-4-MIL is housed in a durable metal case (not in a cheap, thin-walled plastic, fragile box). It ships with a 3-wire, grounded plug, and a lighted rocker switch. It is subjected to rigorous testing in our Los Angeles factory.

Over 60,000 Quiet Hours of Life! Premium Ball-Bearing Fan! The ZT-4-MIL has a high performance, long-life, metal-housed fan, not plastic fans typical within most bench fume extractors which quickly wear out. It is a tool, not a toy.

Whisper-Quiet Operation! Still another striking advantage is the fan/blower within the ZT-4-MIL is built with premium, ball-bearings making it extremely quiet in comparison to other "imports" with their cheap plastic "sleeve-bushing" that whine and squeal and only get worse over time.

 

Easy-To-Change Filter Design: Changing filters can be a real nuisance with other fume extractor brands. The quick "snap-in" feature of the ZT-4's filter guard makes changing filters a breeze! You never need any tools or hardware when changing filters. Just pop out the filter guard, replace your filter and in seconds you are back in business.

In comparative testing, a U.S. Defense Contractor confirmed our filters are far superior to others. After a single day of heavy soldering, our filters were whitish in color from flux particulates captured within its tight carbon activated cells. But -- on the next bench, a "filter" in another brand still looked new. Why? Too porous filters.

Larger pores or "openings" within a filter permits smoke, fumes, and flux particulates to breeze right on through and re-circulate in the workplace.

A Health Perspective on Solder Smoke & Fumes
 

What About the Fumes When One Solders? The soldering process requires the use of flux. Flux is activated by application of heat and by-products of smoke and fumes are generated and released into the air.  Flux is typically composed of rosin-resin and mixed with an activator, halogen organic agent some times called pine resin. Smoke and fumes flux arising from the soldering activity can cause headaches, nausea and eye irritations. The main component of rosin is Abietic Acid .

 

With the high temperatures of soldering, the Abietic Acid becomes denatured to neo-abietic acid and noxious components such as salycylic acid (HOC H COOH) and pinene are released within the fumes and into the immediate work area. Fluxes can contain high levels of resin/rosin which generate and release phenol (C H OH). Flux activators can generate and emit hydrogen chloride (HCL) and/or other compounds.

The ZT-4 AirPlus Smoke Extractor  is Also Home at the Desktop.

Health problems associated with soldering processes are attributable to colophony, a main constituent of rosin-based flux.

At best, smoke and fumes from flux activation while soldering may only cause coughing, sneezing, headaches, or watery eyes, but for 1 in 5, occupational asthma and chronic bronchitis can be an outcome.
For best results with carbon activation, soldering within 20 cm or 8 inches of air intake is recommended.

 

The U.S. Government and the European Common Market, Mexico and Japan now have occupational hazard standards relating to noxious gasses in the workplace and to permissible amounts of such compounds. Indeed, fume extraction equipment is now required within the European Common Market.

The Zephyrtronics ZT-4-MIL Smoke Extractor helps meet these standards when used properly.
