Original instructions Before you install the Logic+, you need to prepare the site for installation. Examine the location where you intend to install the cabinet. 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.
Original instructions Chapter 2: Prerequisites Location Requirements Note: The biosafety cabinet should be located away from traffic patterns, doors, fans, ventilation registers, fume hoods and any other air-handling devices that could disrupt its airflow patterns. All windows in the room should remain closed.
Note: On 100 and 115 VAC models, both electrical outlets are protected by a ground fault interrupter circuit (GFIC). Labconco does not recommend plugging the biosafety cabinet into a GFIC outlet. Product Service 1-800-522-7658...
Original instructions Chapter 2: Prerequisites Electrical outlets in the cabinet are restricted to 5 amps maximum current. Prises électriques dans l'armoire sont limitées à 5 courant maximum ampères. Do not use any detachable power cord that is not adequately rated for the unit. Ne pas utliser un fil électrique amovible qui n’est pas du tension nominale de l’appareil.

Original instructions Now that the installation is properly prepared, you are ready to inspect, install, and certify the Logic+ biosafety cabinet. This chapter covers how to: • Unpack and move the biosafety cabinet. • Install the cabinet. • Connect the electrical supply source. •...
Unauthorized returns will not be accepted. If the cabinet was damaged in transit, you must file a claim directly with the freight carrier. Labconco Corporation and its dealers are not responsible for shipping damages. Do not discard the carton or packing material for the biosafety cabinet until all of the components have been checked, installed and tested.
Installing the Cabinet on a Labconco Base Stand Labconco offers accessory Base Stands in a variety of configurations to suit your particular needs. Stands can be ordered with adjustable telescoping legs or with a manually or electrically adjustable hydraulic lift.
Original instructions Chapter 3: Getting Started Telescoping Base Stands These stands are included with some Logic+ models, or are available separately. The base stands for each width cabinet are listed in Table 3-1 below. An optional caster wheel kit is available (part # 3730500). Table 3-1 Width Base Stand w/Feet Model #...
Original instructions Chapter 3: Getting Started Connecting the Biosafety Cabinet to Utility Service Lines Note: Some models have a solenoid valve connected to the service valve on the right side, rear position. The solenoid prevents gas from flowing to the service valve when the unit blower is off.
Accessories. Note: If the research involves the use of toxic compounds or volatile materials, contact the facility’s safety officer or Labconco to ensure that the biosafety cabinet and its exhaust system are compatible with the materials you will be working with.
Original instructions Chapter 3: Getting Started Optional Vacu-Pass Cord & Cable Portal Use Note: There must be enough clearance to pass the cord or cable between the Logic+’s exterior dress panel and any obstruction. Note: Some Vacu-Pass components and the cord or cable passing through it may become contaminated during use of the cabinet.
Original instructions Chapter 3: Getting Started Drain Valve Installation In order to prevent damage during shipping, the drain valve assembly has not been installed. If desired, the valve should be installed after the cabinet is in its final location. To install the valve assembly, follow these steps: Note: The work surface is heavy.

Original instructions All Purifier Logic+ Biosafety Cabinets operate using the following principles: • Filtration and retention of particulates by High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter(s) • Laminar airflow • Directional airflow The major components in a biosafety cabinet are: • The HEPA filter(s) or optional ULPA filters •...
Original instructions Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Note: The 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 CABINET. Have the HEPA filter integrity tested by a certifier before using the cabinet.
Original instructions Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Laminar Airflow Laminar airflow is defined as the movement of a body of air in a single direction, with a uniform velocity. In practice, the laminar downflow of air in the cabinet captures any aerosol generated in the work area of the cabinet, and directs it to the HEPA filters.
Original instructions Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Directional Airflow Directional airflow also plays a key role in biosafety cabinet performance. Air is drawn into the front of the cabinet at the front grille. This “curtain” of air makes it more difficult for aerosols to escape out of the work area of the cabinet and into the outside environment.
The motor utilizes Labconco’s exclusive Constant Airflow Profile (CAP) program to deliver a consistent volume of air, throughout the life of the cabinet.
Original instructions Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Cabinet Air Intakes (Grilles), Ductwork and Air Balance Controls The location, size, and pattern of the grilles at the front and rear of the work area affect cabinet containment and performance. Note: Do not block or obstruct the grilles of the biosafety cabinet.
HEPA filter during installation or normal operation. If you suspect that a HEPA filter has been damaged, DO NOT use the cabinet; contact a local certification agency or Labconco at 800-821-5525 or 816-333- 8811 for re-certification information. The HEPA filters in the biosafety cabinet will gradually accumulate airborne particulate matter from the room and from work performed in the cabinet.

Original instructions Chapter 5: Using The Cabinet Alarm Screens Figure 5-4a Sash is too high The sash is open too far for safe operation. Figure 5-4b Airflow Alert The airflow patterns in the cabinet have changed, resulting in a sudden change in the motor speed. This is most likely due to a blockage of the grille or the exhaust filter outlet.
Original instructions Chapter 5: Using The Cabinet Operating the Sliding Sash The counterbalanced, anti-racking sash mechanism requires only a few pounds of force to move the sash up or down. You can open or close the sash smoothly with one or two hands positioned on either handle. The sash position alarm and safety interlock system senses the sash position and acts appropriately.
Original instructions Chapter 5: Using The Cabinet The Logic+ Touchpad The touchpad of the Logic+ is shown in Figure 5-6.
