OVERVIEW

Work Smarter with the Mobiflex Lamp and Arc Sensor Upgrade

Take the hassle out of fume control and see your work in a whole new light with the Lincoln Electric CK1706-3 Lamp and Arc Sensor Kit. Designed specifically for your Mobiflex 200, 300, or 400 fume extractor, this kit is the ultimate convenience upgrade for professional welders. We know that when you are under the hood, the last thing you want to do is break your concentration to walk over and flip a switch on your fume extractor. With this kit installed, your machine does the thinking for you.

Hands-Free Operation
The included arc sensor acts as a set of extra eyes. As soon as you strike an arc, the sensor detects the flash and automatically powers on the fume extractor. It catches the fumes immediately, keeping your breathing zone clean without you lifting a finger. When you stop welding to check your bead or grab a new part, the fan runs for a few moments to clear the line and then shuts off automatically. This not only saves power but also cuts down on the constant background noise of the fan, making for a quieter, more pleasant shop environment between welds.

Light Up Your Weld
One of the biggest challenges with fume extraction arms is that the hood can sometimes block your overhead lighting, casting a shadow right where you need to see. The CK1706-3 kit solves this by placing a powerful lamp right inside the extraction hood. This directs a bright beam of light exactly where the arm is pointing—at your weld puddle. You get superior visibility and excellent fume capture simultaneously. It’s a simple upgrade that makes a massive difference in your daily comfort and weld quality.

Why You Need This Kit:

  • Convenience: Never forget to turn the fan on again.
  • Visibility: Puts light exactly where you need it—on the arc.
  • Silence: Enjoy a quieter shop when you aren't actually welding.
  • Safety: Ensures the fumes are always being pulled away while you weld.

FAQ

The CK1706-3 kit is designed for use with Lincoln Electric Mobiflex 200-M, Mobiflex 300-E, and Mobiflex 400-MS mobile fume extraction units.

The arc sensor detects the light intensity of the welding arc. When an arc is struck, it signals the Mobiflex unit to turn on the extraction fan automatically.

The lamp is typically operated via a switch on the hood or the unit, allowing the welder to use the light for setup even if the arc hasn't started, though wiring configurations may vary based on the specific Mobiflex model.

Yes. By running the fan only when welding is actually taking place, you reduce the amount of ambient dust and non-fume particulate drawn into the filter, effectively extending its service life.

The kit is designed as a retrofit and includes instructions and hardware. However, it involves wiring into the control panel, so installation by a qualified technician or electrician is recommended.

No, there is typically a run-out timer (delay) that keeps the fan running for a short period after the arc stops to ensure all residual fumes in the hose are cleared.

No, this kit is specifically engineered for the electrical and physical configuration of Lincoln Electric Mobiflex units.

The kit typically utilizes a halogen or specific incandescent bulb designed for the vibration and environment of a welding hood. Refer to the included manual for the exact replacement bulb part number.
