K1669-4 - Lincoln Electric Arc Sensor and Lamp Kit for Statiflex/Prism 115V

Advanced Automation for Fume Extraction Systems

The Lincoln Electric K1669-4 Arc Sensor and Lamp Kit is a critical upgrade designed to enhance the functionality and energy efficiency of specific Lincoln Electric fume extraction systems, specifically the Statiflex 400-MS and Prism 2400 (115V) units. This comprehensive kit integrates directly into the extraction hood, providing both automated fan control and essential task lighting. By utilizing advanced optical sensing technology, the system detects the presence of a welding arc flash and immediately activates the extraction fan. This ensures that hazardous fumes are captured the moment welding begins, without requiring the operator to manually engage the system.

Operational efficiency is further maximized through the unit's intelligent shut-off logic. Once the welding arc is extinguished, the sensor initiates a 50-second run-on timer. This delay allows the system to clear any residual fumes remaining in the immediate vicinity before powering down, ensuring a safe breathing environment while conserving energy during non-welding intervals. The kit is engineered for seamless integration, including a lamp housing that accommodates the sensor, a dedicated control box, and all necessary interconnect wiring.

Beyond automation, the K1669-4 provides manual override capabilities. Hood-mounted switches allow operators to control the lamp and fan independently of the arc sensor, offering flexibility for setup, grinding, or inspection tasks where the arc sensor might not be triggered. This dual-functionality makes it an indispensable component for maintaining high safety standards and operational workflows in industrial welding environments. The inclusion of a hood-mounted light source further aids in precision work, illuminating the weld joint directly from the extraction source.

Installation is straightforward with the included instruction manual, and the components are built to withstand the rigorous conditions of industrial manufacturing and fabrication environments. By automating the extraction process, facilities can reduce unnecessary noise pollution and wear on filtration equipment, extending the service life of the fume extraction unit.
