Page 4: Foreword
1. SECTION 1 1.1. FOREWORD This manual has been prepared to give guidance in the use of your Airone XP4 Ducted Fume Cupboard. It is recommended that service and maintenance operations should only be undertaken by SAFELAB Service Engineers or their authorised agents. -
Page 5: Warning Notices
1.2. WARNING NOTICES Within this User Manual WARNINGS are used to highlight information or instructions that must be followed in order to avoid personal injury to yourself or other people in the vicinity, eg. switch off the mains voltage before any maintenance. WARNINGS appear as below: Switch off the mains voltage and remove the mains cord before maintenance. -
Page 6: Electrical Safety
1.6. ELECTRICAL SAFETY The Fume Cupboard is designed to protect the user from potential electrical hazards. This section describes some recommended electrical safety practices. Lethal voltages are present at certain points within the equipment. When the equipment is connected to mains power, removing the equipment covers is likely to expose live parts. -
Page 7: Environmental Protection
A face velocity (the speed at which air is drawn into the cabinet) is of importance to the safe and effective operation of a Fume Cupboard. Your XP4 unit should be set to run at 0.5m/sec, with the sash at the maximum safe working height (normally 500mm). -
Page 8: Principles Of Operation
1.10. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Air is drawn into the cupboard at the Front Working Aperture (A) below the sliding sash at a velocity high enough to ensure containment of any fumes, odours or contaminants given off by the processes carried out within the cupboard. The fumes from within the cupboard are drawn either upwards as in the case of lighter-than-air (vapour density <... -
Page 9: Improper Use
• Do not use the Fume Cupboard as a waste disposal mechanism • Do not remove any panels or covers Definition: The Airone XP4 Ducted Fume Cupboard has been designed and tested to meet the containment characteristics requirements of BS EN14175-1:2003 (barring outside influences i.e. building columns and poor siting). -

Page 12: Optional Features
• Auto-sash: Motor driven sash, open and closes automatically 3.2. INSTALLATION The XP4 is designed to sit flush to the ceiling and doesn’t have a top panel. If the ceiling height is above 2.4m, infill panels will be required to prevent access to the electrical compartment on units with the auto-sash option. -
Page 13: Support Frame Assembly
3.4. SUPPORT FRAME ASSEMBLY The support frame/stand is an important structural part of the Fume Cupboard, and once sited with the unit in place the lower rear brace panel must not be removed for any reason. The pallet design is such that the two end sections can be removed. The unit can then be lifted on the pallet and the fully constructed stand slid in under the Fume Cupboard. -
Page 14: Location Of Fume Cupboard
3.5. LOCATION OF FUME CUPBOARD Fume Cupboard location should be chosen to minimise any undue airflow disturbances, which will reduce the risk of contaminants leaving the Fume Cupboard and the chances of anomalous results when carrying out the annual inspection test. A general guide to suitable distances from common airflow disturbances is shown below and if any Fume Cupboards are found to be exposed to these conditions it should be noted in the unit’s Log Book. -
Page 15: Connections (Gas And Water Are Optional)
3.6. CONNECTIONS (Gas and Water are optional) Ducting: Once sited, the Fume Cupboard needs to be connected to the duct extract system Unit duct spigot size: - 1.2 wide unit = Ø250mm - 1.5, 1.8 & 2.0 wide units = Ø315mm Control system: The unit control system needs to be connected to the extract fan control system (where applicable) -
Page 16: Operating Instructions
4. SECTION 4 4.1. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (ENSURE THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN TO THE MAINS ELECTRICAL SUPPLY) A Fume Cupboard is only a partial enclosure and cannot provide absolute protection against inhalation of substances used within. In addition, the degree of protection given to the user is dependent on other factors, such as the system of work and the nature of the operations to be performed. -
