Installation

Section 2
The operational safety and proper function of the unit depend on the
location where it is to be operated. The cabinet should be operated only in
the ambient conditions listed below.
• Up to 6562 ft. (2000 m) above sea level.
• Power outlet accessible to authorized personnel only. Ideally, the outlet
should be installed above the biological safety cabinet. The power cord
is the mains disconnect.
• Location capable of supporting the weight of the device and
non-flammable.
• If the factory-approved stand is not purchased, the holding device must
be rated for twice the cabinet weight.
• Adequate room height. For devices that are not connected to an
exhaust system, the distance between the exhaust air opening at the
device and the room ceiling must be at least 8 inches (200 mm).
• Equipped with an appropriate ventilation system.
• Room temperature between 10°C and 40°C (50°F and 104°F).
• Relative humidity must not exceed 80%, up to 31°C and decreasing
linearly to 50% at 40°C.
• For indoor use only.
Room ventilation should preferably be a ventilation system that complies
with the national requirements for the application.
The inlet air and exhaust air openings of the room ventilation must be
located so that drafts do not impair the function of the biological safety
cabinet air system.
When positioning the cabinet, make sure the counterweight on the back of
the unit can move freely. The minimal distance to the wall or adjacent
objects should be 3 inches (7.6 cm), unless upper wall brackets are used.
