Assembling the PCR UV3 HEPA Systems Assembling the PCR UV HEPA Systems Carefully remove the unit from the packaging materials. Follow the assembly instructions provided in this manual. Tools required: Philips head screwdriver Flathead screwdriver Gloves are provided to reduce transfer of fingerprints to PCR components ATTENTION Two people are recommended for assembly or lifting of this equipment.
Assembling the PCR UV3 HEPA Systems Attaching the inner back panel ATTENTION Two people are required to hold the panels in place and insert the screws. Position the wires so that they run between the inner back panel and the outer back panel up to the top for later connections to the top assembly.
Assembling the PCR UV3 HEPA Systems Assembling the Makrolon panels The frames (two) are designed to hold the Makrolon panels in place against the back as- sembly. Loosen the four screws indicated in the drawing below. Slide the frames for Makrolon panels under the screws on the back panel assembly so that the frames are under the shelf brackets.
Assembling the PCR UV3 HEPA Systems Assembling the top housing and the shelves WARNING Before assembling top and shelves ensure that the unit is not plugged in. 11. Rest the top assembly on top of the unit. 12. Connect the bottom and top assembly wires together according to their labels, matching wire “A”...
Assembling the PCR UV3 HEPA Systems Assembling the door 15. Slide the door assembly up into channel in the top assembly. Holding the door in posi- tion, insert the thumb screws (Qty. 3) inside the top assembly. 16. Secure the door with brackets onto the left and right side panels.
Operating the PCR UV3 HEPA Systems Operating the PCR UV HEPA Systems Use of PCR equipment inside the Cabinet or Workstation Shelves are provided for placement of small tools for decontamination. The shelves slide into the bracket on back of the unit.
Operating the PCR UV3 HEPA Systems Operating the HEPA/UV System Push the HEPA/UV power switch to operate the HEPA/UV filter system. The airflow fan set- ting can be adjusted from Low to High, circulating anywhere from 22 to 50 feet per minute (FPM) of air.
Operating the PCR UV3 HEPA Systems Operating the overhead UV and fluorescent white light UV Keylock The PCR UV HEPA Systems provide an automated process for eliminating contamination by utilizing the germicidal properties of shortwave 254 nm ultraviolet light. The UV light is typically operated when no samples are inside the chamber.
Operating the PCR UV3 HEPA Systems To adjust the timer settings: – Turn the system on and wait until the timer reads “OFF”. – Use a small paper clip to press the timer calibration button located in the small hole to the left of the timer for one second.
