Description
The Menda Field Vac is a high performance,
completely self contained, field service vacuum.
Everything you need is contained in the rigid,
lightweight, portable enclosure. This model has been
specifically designed to work in and around sensitive
electronic equipment such as copy and fax machines,
telecom equipment, computers, printers, and larger
pieces of production and assembly equipment. The
standard 99.97% efficient @ 0.3 micron filter pack is
66% more efficient than other service vacuums with 0.9
micron filters. The standard filter will safely trap soot,
pollens, drywall dust, black toner, and most color toner.
The Field Vac is quieter and safer for your ears. At 75
dB, it is 10-20% quieter than any other field service
vacuum. The special flow-thru motor includes sound
baffles to make this possible. Now you can work more
effectively and productively without disturbing other
people or risking damage to your hearing. The motor
also has a thermal cutout built in, thereby eliminating
overheating problems.
The Field Vac is safe for ESD sensitive electronics.
The electronic line filter prevents EMI/RFI noise, and
the utensils are static dissipative. The internal ground-
wire in the flex-hose and enclosure virtually eliminate
static charge generation from utensils. Any charge
generated is safely dissipated back through the
electrically grounded motor. The Menda
®
Field Vac
meets UL and UL Canada certified safety standards.
Note:
The Menda
®
Field Vac is designed for
commercial use only.
Operation
Release the two front latches on the front of the Field
Vac and open the lid. Release the Velcro
®
strip on the
inside lid and remove the hose and attachments.
