Page 9: Your Next Step
If you would like to review how Labconco’s high performance laboratory fume hoods operate, go to Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions.
Page 10 Before you install your laboratory fume hood, you need to prepare your site for installation. Carefully examine the location where you intend to install your hood. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical power must be located near the installation site.
Page 11: Chapter 2: Prerequisites
Chapter 2: Prerequisites Location Requirements The fume hood should be located away from traffic patterns, doors, windows, fans, ventilation registers, and any other air-handling device that could disrupt its airflow patterns. All windows in the room should be closed. Support Requirements DO NOT install the fume hood on a cart, dolly, or mobile bench.
Page 12: Exhaust Requirements Table
0.12" H Proper blower selection can be determined from these exhaust requirements and the total system static pressure loss. Contact Labconco Customer Service for assistance in sizing a remote blower system. Electrical Requirements The Protector XStream Hood models feature internal wiring for the fluorescent light assembly and light switch.
Page 13: Service Line Requirements
Chapter 2: Prerequisites by a qualified electrician. Refer to Chapter 3: Getting Started and Appendix C: Protector XStream Specifications for the wiring diagram for proper electrical installation. Service Line Requirements All service lines to the laboratory fume hood should be ¼ inch outside diameter, copper (brass for natural gas), and equipped with an easily accessible shut-off valve, should disconnection be required.
Page 14 Now that the site for your laboratory fume hood is properly prepared, you are ready to unpack, inspect, install, and certify your unit. Read this chapter to learn how to: • Unpack and move your Protector XStream Hood. • Set up the fume hood with the supporting structure and work surface.
Page 15: Chapter 3: Getting Started
(15) DO NOT RETURN GOODS WITHOUT THE days of delivery. PRIOR AUTHORIZATION OF LABCONCO. UNAUTHORIZED RETURNS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. IF YOUR HOOD WAS DAMAGED IN TRANSIT, YOU MUST FILE A CLAIM DIRECTLY WITH THE FREIGHT CARRIER.
Page 16: Sash Weight Release
Chapter 3: Getting Started After you verify the fume hood components, move your hood to the location where you want to install it. Then, follow the steps listed next to remove the shipping skid from your unit. 1. Remove the side panels by unscrewing the Phillips screws.
Page 17 Chapter 3: Getting Started 1.0" leading radius to promote aerodynamic airflow at low velocities. The high performance XStream work surface should have a 36" deep dimension. WARNING: It is important to: 1). Support the rear of the work surface and fume hood. 2). The cross support provides support for the bottom of the work surface.
Page 18: Connecting To The Hood Exhaust System
Chapter 3: Getting Started Place Cross Support Here Figure 3-1 Connecting to the Protector XStream Hood Exhaust System WARNING: The weight of the exhaust ductwork system must be supported independently of the hood superstructure. Do not allow this weight to be supported by the hood structure as damage to the hood may occur.
Page 19: Connecting The Electrical Supply Source
Should higher transport velocities be required, simply install a reducer after the hood exhaust outlet. Consult Labconco Customer Service should you require help sizing your blower for the exhaust volume and total system static pressure loss.

Chapter 3: Getting Started Primary I.D. Plate Located behind Front Panel Internal Junction Front Panel Secondary I.D. Figure 3-2 Label All wiring for the fume hood SHOULD be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all local codes. In most cases, the hood will require the use of shielded conduit to protect the wiring into the hood.
Page 21: Sealing The Protector Hood
NOTE: Inspect all fittings for leakage. Tighten the fittings slightly if needed. CAUTION: Do not use oxygen with any standard service fixture. Contact Labconco Customer Service for oxygen fixture information. Should access to the hood plumbing fixture bodies be required, remove the service access plate on the hood front corner posts by loosening their individual screws.

Page 29: Safety Precautions
Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Safety Precautions Although the laboratory hood has been engineered to maintain optimum operator safety, caution should always be used while working in the hood. Prior to using the hood, check to make sure that the exhaust blower is operating and that air is entering the hood at its specified face velocity.
Page 30 Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Always work as far back in hood as possible. It is best to keep all chemicals and apparatus 6" inside the front of the hood. This hood does not feature explosion-proof electrical components, unless ordered separately. Therefore, use of flammable or explosive materials in quantities above the explosive limit are not recommended.
Page 31 Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Proper operation of the fume hood depends largely upon the hood’s location and the operator’s work habits. Consult the Reference Manual in Appendix D. Product Service 1-800-522-7658...
Page 32: Chapter 5: Using Your Protector
Operating the Vertical-Rising Sash Because of the Protector XStream 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 any where along the handle. The vertical- rising sash may be raised to a maximum 28"...
Page 33: Operating The Blower
Chapter 5: Using Your Protector Fume Hood Operating the Blower Your Protector XStream Fume Hood utilizes a remote style blower, which can be activated by turning the blower switch to “ON.” You can validate the hood performance by watching smoke drawn into the hood face opening.
Page 34 Chapter 5: Using Your Protector Fume Hood Work Techniques • Keep all materials at least 6 inches inside of the sash, and perform all contaminated operations as far to the rear of the work area as possible. • Segregate all clean and contaminated materials in the work area.

Page 36: Chapter 6: Maintaining Your Fume Hood
Now that you have an understanding of how to work in the fume hood, we will review the suggested maintenance schedule and the common service operations necessary to maintain your fume hood for peak performance. Only trained and experienced certification technicians should perform some of the service operations after the fume hood has been properly decontaminated.
Page 37: Routine Service Operations
Chapter 6: Maintaining Your Protector Fume Hood Monthly (or more often as required) • Determine the actual face velocity through the sash opening of the hood where the average reading should be at the specified velocity. (Use calibrated thermal anemometer or other approved apparatus).
