Logic+ Data Plate The Logic+ Data Plate contains much of the information required to certify the unit. Information on the plate includes nominal inflow and downflow velocity settings, a description of how to establish the downflow grid and the secondary inflow methodology are also included on the data plate, as shown below.
Final Inspection and Test Report Form A copy of the Final Inspection Test Report is attached to the blower plenum cover, beneath the front dress panel. The report contains initial setup information on inflow and downflow velocities, and the initial blower torque setting.
Theory of Operation This section offers a brief overview of the theory of operation of the Logic+. Airflow Patterns Figure 1-8 All Logic+ Type A2 cabinets meet the airflow requirements of ANSI/NSF Standard 49:2012. Approximately 55-60% of the air in the cabinet is filtered and recirculated, while 40-45% is filtered and exhausted.
ECM Motor The modern Class II Biosafety Cabinet was developed in the early 1960’s as a result of the increased availability of High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter technology. The motor of choice at the time to drive the cabinet’s blower was the Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) type.
constant volume algorithm, by General Electric, and used in the Logic+ BSC. By testing a prototype model to a variety of airflows and filter pressures, the motor/blower can be “characterized” for that size cabinet. This characterization allows for the creation of a model-specific motor-blower curve. By programming the curve values into the motor during assembly, the motor will deliver the correct volume of air as the HEPA filters load.
Page 44
UV Relay Light Relay Outlet Relay The Logic+ also has an optional contact/RS232 board. This must be installed if the user wants to signal external building monitors or controllers, or wants the Logic+ to output operating information to a data logger. The optional board is located in the electronics module, shown in Figure 1-14.
Section Two – Installation Requirements This section offers an overview of site requirements and how to prepare the unit for operation. Prerequisites Before you install the Logic+, you need to prepare the site for installation. Examine the location where you intend to install the cabinet. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction.
Location Requirements Note: The biosafety cabinet should be located away from traffic patterns, doors, fans, ventilation registers, fume hoods and any other air-handling devices that could disrupt its airflow patterns. All windows in the room should remain closed. Figure 2-1 shows the preferred location for the biosafety cabinet. Figure 2-1 Preferred location Air register blocked or redirected...
CONFIGURED TO SIGNAL THE EXHAUST BLOWER TO TURN ON WHEN THE LOGIC+’s BLOWER IS ON. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT LABCONCO’S PRODUCT SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AS AN ALTERNATIVE, A REMOTE ELECTRICAL SWITCH FOR THE EXHAUST BLOWER CAN BE INSTALLED NEAR THE LOGIC+.
Note: On 100 and 115 VAC models, both electrical outlets are protected by a ground fault interrupter circuit (GFIC). Labconco does not recommend plugging the biosafety cabinet into a GFIC outlet. Do not use any detachable power cord that is not adequately rated for the unit.
Service Line Requirements All utility service lines should be ¼ inch O.D., brass, copper, or stainless steel, and equipped with an easily accessible shut-off valve. If the service line pressure exceeds 40 PSI, it must be equipped with a pressure regulator to reduce the line pressure.
Section Three – Installation Now that the installation is properly prepared, you are ready to inspect, install, and certify the Logic+ biosafety cabinet. This chapter covers how to: Unpack and move the biosafety cabinet. Install the cabinet. Connect the electrical supply source.
Note: United States Interstate Commerce Commission rules require that claims be filed with the delivery carrier within fifteen (15) days of delivery. Do not return goods without the prior authorization of Labconco. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted. If the cabinet was damaged in transit, you must file a claim directly with the freight carrier.
Installing the Cabinet on a Labconco Base Stand Labconco offers accessory Base Stands in a variety of configurations to suit your particular needs. Stands can be ordered with adjustable telescoping legs or with a manually or electrically adjustable hydraulic lift.
Table 3-1 Width Base Stand w/Feet Model # 3401003 3401004 3401005 3401006 Manual or Electric Hydraulic Lift Base Stands These base stands offer infinitely adjustable height between 25.5 and 33.5 inches (648 to 851 mm), giving a cabinet work surface height of 28.0 to 36.0 inches. The height is adjusted either by a manual (hand crank) or electric pump that drives hydraulic rams in the legs of the stands.
Connecting the Biosafety Cabinet to Utility Service Lines Note: Some models have a solenoid valve connected to the service valve on the right side, rear position. The solenoid prevents gas from flowing to the service valve when the unit blower is off. It is the only service valve position that can be fitted with a solenoid valve.
Note: If the research involves the use of toxic compounds or volatile materials, contact the facility’s safety officer or Labconco to ensure that the biosafety cabinet and its exhaust system are compatible with the materials you will be working with.
Optional Vacu-Pass Cord & Cable Portal Note: There must be enough clearance to pass the cord or cable between the Logic+’s exterior dress panel and any obstruction. Note: Some Vacu-Pass components and the cord or cable passing through it may become contaminated during use of the cabinet.
Drain Valve Installation In order to prevent damage during shipping, the drain valve assembly has not been installed. If desired, the valve should be installed after the cabinet is in its final location. To install the valve assembly, follow these steps: Note: The work surface is heavy.
Section Four - Initial Operation of the Logic+ This section will take you through the steps to begin initial operation of the Logic+, with an explanation the controls, display and options, in order to prepare the unit for its initial certification. System Reset Switch The biosafety cabinet has a system reset switch for resetting its microprocessors.
Information Center The Information Center is an LCD display located on the right side wall at eye level. When the blower is started, the words “please wait” will be displayed, as shown in Figure 4-2. After approximately 90 seconds, the display will switch to normal operation. The display provides a clock, the remaining filter life, the cabinet’s current status, inflow and downflow velocities (if equipped with the optional airflow sensor), as shown in Figure 4-3.
Alarm Screens Sash is too high The sash is open too far for safe operation. Airflow Alert The airflow patterns in the cabinet have changed, resulting in a sudden change in the motor speed. This is most likely due to a blockage of the grille or the exhaust filter outlet.
Operating the Sliding Sash The counterbalanced, anti-racking sash mechanism requires only a few pounds of force to move the sash up or down. You can open or close the sash smoothly with one or two hands positioned on either handle. The sash position alarm and safety interlock system senses the sash position and acts appropriately.
The Logic+ Touchpad The touchpad of the Logic+ is shown in Figure 5-6. Take a moment to get familiar with the buttons, their locations and functions. Also familiarize yourself with the display located on the right side wall. The display will report system functions, such as filter capacity, timer displays, alarm or error messages, as well as icons that illuminate when cabinet functions such as UV light and blower are operational.
Navigating the Logic+ Menu Screens MyLogic allows you to use the Smart-Start or Night-Smart features that activate functions automatically when the sash is opened or closed. If equipped, the UV lamp can be programmed to operate for a given time interval when the sash is closed, before it shuts off.

If you choose to use Night-Smart option for the UV lamp, this screen allows you to control the time the UV lamp will remain on after the sash is closed. Use the ▲ ▼ buttons on the touchpad to cycle through the time OK/MUTE intervals available, and then press to select it.
Startup tone Using the buttons on the touchpad, highlight the ▲ ▼ Startup Tone option-it will turn white when selected, and then press . Using the buttons on the ▲ ▼ Turned on Turned off touchpad, highlight either option. When turned on, an audible beep will sound during the first 90 seconds of blower operation to caution the user that the unit is not yet ready for use.
UV Settings For models equipped with the optional UV light the Logic+ has an integral UV light maintenance system. It allows you to define how many hours you want the UV lamp to operate before receiving a reminder to replace it, a way to monitor how many hours the lamp has been on, and the means to reset the UV lamp hourmeter.
Timer Operation NOTE: The timer button allows activation of an interval (countdown) or stopwatch (elapsed) timer. The timers cannot be operated simultaneously. Timer To access the main timer menu, press the button anytime during normal operation. The main timer menu is shown on the LCD display. Use the buttons ▲...
NOTE: In order to properly certify the Logic+, you must obtain a Logic+ Certifier Kit, Labconco P/N 3858400. Qualified certifiers can obtain this kit by contacting Labconco Customer Service Department at 800-821-5525. Note: The ECM motor is programmed by Labconco to deliver a constant volume of air throughout the life of the HEPA filters.
Logic+ Filter Life Gauge Operation and Resetting for Local Conditions The filter life gauge calculates the remaining filter life by measuring and comparing the current motor speed to the initial speed noted at the factory during assembly, and the calculated maximum motor speed, using the formula: 100-(100x (current speed-original speed) ) = % filter life left max.
If the Logic+ has been used with biohazardous, toxic chemicals, or radioisotopes, the DOP access port cannot be used. The upstream concentration cannot be measured directly. Testing at Labconco has shown the actual concentration varies from the calculated value. Table 5-1 shows the actual vs. calculated concentrations for the Type A models.
The Purifier utilizes a unique aerosol access tube for sampling the upstream concentration of aerosol. If after reading these instructions, you have further questions, please contact Labconco's Product Service Department. Note: The access tube contains contaminated air under positive pressure. DO NOT access this line until the cabinet has been decontaminated.
