  • Page 3 110V 50/60Hz THE SASH AND TWO SPEED FAN SYSTEM The vertical sliding safety glass sash of the AIRONE 1000RS fume cupboard is suspended and counterweighted providing added advantages over fixed-sash or folding sash fume-hoods. E.g. the sliding safety glass sash can be closed and this provides protection to operators in case of explosions.
  • Page 4 14 SAFELAB activated/impregnated carbon filters and/or HEPA Filters (please refer to SAFELAB Filter-Guide) Please refer to Adsorption Index - in Operational Safety Log-Book - consult with Safelab Systems to obtain guidance in selection of appropriate filter and monitoring procedures. Safe Use Following any fitting or replacement of the Main Filter the Work Station should be run and the filter tested to ensure it has been installed correctly.
  • Page 5 Systems to ensure correct filter selection was made and users have acquainted themselves with filter monitoring procedures. Siting The intended locations for operation of the AIRONE 1000RS should be chosen so that: The airflow into the sash opening is not hindered by walls, other fume cupboards, cross draughts etc.
  • Page 6 INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION Use the AIRONE 1000RS sited in a place checked to be suitable. Remember to lock the front wheels. If intending to use Gas or Water services, make sure that the guidelines of BS:7258 and Building Bulletin # 88 of the DfEE are met.
  • Page 7 WARNING: If a spill exceeds the capabilities of the Airone 1000RS, it is likely to exceed the capabilities of carbon filtration face masks. This means that only an air or oxygen cylinder based breathing apparatus could provide adequate protection.
  • Page 8 Tables printed on back pages of the Operational Safety Log-Book are suitable for keeping these records. Safelab Systems recommend that a simple air sampling test be carried out once a week at eye and mouth level and/or at the outflow port of the AIRONE Fume Cupboard utilising an appropriate GASTEC Chemical Detector Tube (available from Safelab Systems).
  • Page 9: Fitting Of The Main Carbon Filter

    If replacing the main filter, remove the pre-filter from the top, and unscrew the filter clamping knobs on each side of the filter. Check that the new or replacement Safelab carbon filter is correctly selected. Consult SAFELAB by phone, fax or e-mail.
  • Page 10: Pre-Filter Replacement

    Appendix II. PRE-FILTER REPLACEMENT  There should be no hazardous vapours or gases in the fume enclosure during filter fitting or replacement.  During the filter replacement procedure, suitable protective clothing, face- mask, gloves and safety glasses must be worn. Access to the pre-filters is via the front of the work station.
  • Page 11: Monitoring The Airone 1000Rs

    Equipment Needed Airflow Meter: A rotating vane air flow meter with a vane diameter between 60 to 100mm., with the facility to average readings over a period of 10 seconds. Safelab Systems supply a suitable airflow monitor (Safelab code SRVANE).
  • Page 12: Instructions For Face Velocity Measurements

    The lower percentage variation is the average minus the smallest, divided by the average and multiplied by 100. Each of these should be below 30%, if not, then the Airone 1000RS has been parked in an unsuitable site and will have to be moved.

    Appendix V. INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILTER SATURATION TESTING. Regular filter checks and monitoring (once a week is recommended) to test quality of the air breathed in by operators and filtration efficiency. Filter challenge tests can be carried out during routine Service and Maintenance procedures once every 6 months as described in the Operational Safety Log Book.

  • Page 16: Control System

    Appendix VII. CONTROL SYSTEM The Low Air Flow Alarm indicator does not replace confirmatory checks and routine frontal face velocity testing requirements with a calibrated anemometer or airflow meter. These should be carried out regularly and the results recorded in the appropriate section this book, or the Operational Safety Log-Book as required under COSHH Regulations.
