    Never misuse this product. Never disable, override, or otherwise bypass safety guards, panels, switches, sensors or alarms. Doing so will result in moderate to serious injury, death, or damage to this product or property. Ne jamais utiliser ce produit à mauvais escient. Ne jamais désactiver, annuler ou contourner les capots, panneaux, interrupteurs, capteurs ou alarmes de sécurité.
  • Page 16 Do not overload the work surface with apparatus or work material. The safe operation of the laboratory hood is based upon having proper airflow through the structure. Do not place large, bulky objects such as block heaters, directly on the hood work surface.
  • Page 17 Do not use with organophosphoric (insecticide) compounds, mercury, hydrogen cyanide, or highly exothermic reactions. High exothermic reactions and smoke generation require the use of a HEPA filter.

Warning: It is important to support the rear of the work surface and filtered hood. The cross support provides support for the bottom of the work surface. Install the cross support after the base cabinets and work surface are leveled and before installing the filtered hood.
  • Page 26 The following are instructions for mounting a cross support: 1. Level the base cabinets and the work surface. The filtered hood should be placed flush with the back of the work surface as shown in Figure 4-2. 2. Scribe a line on the wall or back of the base cabinet to locate the support under the work surface.

    Step 8 The fans will automatically start and the lights inside the filtered hood will turn off. Again, the filtered hood will stabilize and chime when ready, which should be about 30 seconds. Step 9 In a stable filtered hood with the fan on, the anemometer will take readings for about a minute and calculate the approximate 80 fpm (or approximate 0.4m/s) value.

  • Page 35: 5: Performance Features

    5: Performance Features Labconco has combined its patented (U.S. Patent No. 6,461,233), containment- enhancing Protector Hood design with Neutrodine filtration technology to deliver a multi- use fume hood that requires no ducting. The filtered hood provides safety, energy savings, and adaptability to ever-changing lab spaces.

  • Page 36: Neutrodine ® Filters

    The HEPA filter manufacturer establishes the efficiency of the filter by challenging it with an aerosol of known particle size. The number of particles that penetrate the filter are quantified, and this establishes the efficiency of the filter. Note: HEPA filter media is very fragile. DO NOT touch the media. If you think the media of a HEPA filter is damaged, DO NOT USE THE FILTERED HOOD.

  • Page 43: Sash Operation

    Sash Operation Because of the filtered hood counterbalanced sash mechanism, it will take only a few pounds of force to move the sash up or down, and you can operate the sash smoothly with one or two hands positioned anywhere along the handle. The vertical-rising sash may be raised to a maximum 16-inch operating height for proper airflow between 60-100 fpm.

Use safe lifting practices, and to set the panel where it cannot fall over while uninstalled from the filtered hood.

  • Page 49: Pre-Filter Replacement

    Replacing the Filtration Technology It is recommended to replace all filtration technology (filters, pre-filters, HEPA filters, etc.) at one time to maximize the efficiency of your time and effort. When filters need replacing, the first step will always be to order new ones. More information on available filters can be found in the Chapter 9: Accessories.
