Page 7: Chapter 2: Prerequisites
Chapter 2: Prerequisites Before you install the filtered enclosure, you must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical power should be located near the installation site to power the filtered enclosure. Additionally, the enclosure should be strategically placed in the lab to provide efficient workflow. -
Page 8: Temperature Variation Requirements
Chapter 2: Prerequisites The corners of a building typically have less vibration than the center. The bench with the balance enclosure should not contain any vibration- producing equipment, such as shakers or pumps. Marble slabs with dampening pads placed within the enclosure are also an effective low cost means of controlling vibration. -
Page 9: Location And Air Current Requirements
Chapter 2: Prerequisites Background on Electrostatics or Static Electricity Electrostatic charges on a surface such as the wall of a balance enclosure are not created by moving air. Impurities within the air impinging upon surfaces dictate the polarity and magnitude of the charge. The process, triboelectrification, occurs when the dust particles contact the surface, creating friction and electrons move across the interface. -
Page 10: Exhaust And Blower Requirements
Proper blower selection can be determined from these exhaust requirements and the total system static pressure loss. For outside exhaust, the enclosure must be connected to either a dedicated blower or a house exhaust system. Labconco offers accessory remote blowers listed in Chapter 7. Contact Labconco for blower sizing assistance. -
Page 11: Electrical Requirements
Chapter 2: Prerequisites Electrical Requirements Standard duplex electrical receptacles should be nearby for connecting the filtered enclosure, or other equipment, such as a balance for weighing operations. The enclosures include iris pass-thru to allow electrical cords through the back of the enclosure without leaving a large hole for contaminants to escape. -

Chapter 3: Getting Started Stand and Cabinet Installation The top surface of a base stand can be adjusted from 27.5 to 34.50 inches (698mm to 876mm), in 1 inch (25mm) increments. Choose your optimum working height from the floor to the work surface. -
Page 15: Connecting To The Exhaust System (Optional)
Review Chapter 2 for exhaust prerequisites and review Chapter 7 for ordering blower exhaust equipment. Consult Labconco Customer Service should you require help sizing your blower for the exhaust volume and system static pressure loss. To ensure compatibility, the selected exhaust duct material should match the enclosure, procedures and chemical applications. - Page 16 Chapter 3: Getting Started FOR 6" NOMINAL EXHAUST DUCT CONNECTION 6.06" ID ON THE 2', 3' AND 4' Figure 3-2 Product Service 1-800-522-7658...

Page 20: Chapter 4: High Performance Features And Safety Precautions
OSHA approved “low flow” velocities as low as 60 feet per minute. The filtered enclosures have been tested to effectively contain toxic and noxious materials when properly installed and operated. What makes the Labconco line of enclosures so unique is the revolutionary way they direct air into and through the contaminated air chamber. - Page 21 Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Not Shown 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24 Figure 4-1 Product Service 1-800-522-7658...
- Page 22 Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions 1. Aerodynamic Clean-Sweep™ Air Foil has a unique shape that allows air to sweep the work surface for maximum containment. The Clean-Sweep™ openings create a constant protective barrier from contaminants. Should the operator inadvertently block the airflow entering the air foil, air continues to pass under the air foil and through the Clean-Sweep openings.
- Page 23 Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions 3. Upper Dilution Air Supply provides bypass air from above the work area. This feature constantly bathes the inside of the sash with clean air and reduces powders, particulate materials and chemical fumes along the sash plane, near the critical breathing zone.

Page 29: Optional Ionizer
Chapter 5: Using the Nano Enclosure Optional Ionizer The XPert Nano’s optional built-in ionizer is designed to control static charge on surfaces within the enclosure. The discharge of the ionizer is uniquely located at the front face of the work surface, safe from the contaminants and cleaning within. The emitters within the ionizer have a finite life and therefore there may be times when one might choose to use the enclosure with the ionizer OFF. -
