    OSHA approved “low flow” velocities as low as 60 feet per minute. It is the result of Labconco’s more than 50 years experience in manufacturing fume hoods. The XPert Balance Enclosure or Protector XVS Ventilation Station has been engineered to provide maximum containment.
  • Page 6: Chapter 2: Prerequisites

    Before you install the vented enclosure, you need to prepare your site for installation. Carefully examine the location where you intend to install the vented enclosure. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical power should be located near the installation site to power the accessory FilterMate Portable Exhauster, balance or other apparatus.
  • Page 7: Support, Vibration And Movement Requirements

    Chapter 2: Prerequisites Support, Vibration and Movement Requirements At a minimum, the supporting structure usually consists of a base cabinet and chemically resistant work surface. XPert and XVS:  When setting up a chemical station not used for weighing powders, a mobile stand or cart is allowable.
  • Page 8: Humidity And Static Electricity Requirements

    Chapter 2: Prerequisites  Avoid incandescent lighting of the enclosure where radiant heat produced will raise temperatures. (See Chapter 7 for adding an accessory fluorescent light kit).  Do not place the balance and enclosure on a bench that would receive direct sunlight.
  • Page 9: Location And Air Current Requirements

    Chapter 2: Prerequisites Background on Electrostatics or Static Electricity Electrostatic charges on a surface such as the wall of a balance enclosure are not created by moving air. Gases do not cause the charge. Impurities within the air impinging upon surfaces dictate the polarity and magnitude of the charge. The process, triboelectrification, occurs when the friction of the dust particles contact the surface and electrons move across the interface.
  • Page 10: Exhaust And Blower Requirements

    Labconco offers accessory transition adapters for the top or bottom exhaust connection to either a 5" hose or 6" duct. See Chapter 7 for ordering any of these accessories.
  • Page 11: Remote Blowers (Roof Mounted)

    The enclosure must be connected to a dedicated blower, a house exhaust system or a dedicated filtered exhauster, such as a Labconco FilterMate. When using multiple FilterMates, the airflow must be balanced. Labconco offers accessory remote blowers listed next and in Chapter 7.
  • Page 12: Filtermate Portable Exhausters

    FilterMate Portable Exhausters (Filtered Room Exhaust or Outside) For filtered exhauster selection, Labconco offers FilterMate Portable Exhausters capable of exhausting up to 280 cfm of HEPA filtered air or up to 220 cfm of combination HEPA/Carbon filtered air. These airflows are possible when connected to the enclosure with 8' of 5"...
  • Page 13: Electrical Requirements

    Chapter 2: Prerequisites Electrical Requirements Standard duplex electrical receptacles should be nearby for connecting the FilterMate Portable Exhauster, an airflow monitor, accessory fluorescent light or other equipment, such as a balance for weighing operations. For your convenience both the accessory FilterMate and accessory fluorescent light kit have auxiliary outlet receptacles.
  • Page 14 Now that the site for your XPert or XVS vented enclosure is properly prepared, you are ready to unpack, inspect, install, and validate your system. Read this chapter to learn how to:  Unpack and move the enclosure.  Set up the enclosure with the proper supporting structure and work surface. ...
  • Page 15: Chapter 3: Getting Started

    The work surface should be at least as wide as the enclosure to properly support it. The front of the enclosure should be aligned within 1/8" of the front of the work surface. Mounting holes are provided in the Labconco accessory work surfaces to secure the enclosure.
  • Page 16 4. Insert the supplied mounting screws in the four holes for epoxy work surfaces. For stainless steel work surfaces use #10-24 x 3/8" hex machine screws. (Labconco P/N 1885806). Allow a minimum of 1/8" clearance under the head of the screw for positioning the enclosure.

    Your XPert or XVS enclosure has been tested at the factory per ASHRAE 110- 1995. All enclosures achieve an “as manufactured rating” of less than 0.05 part per million (ppm) at 4 liters per minute (lpm); AM <0.05 (Consult Labconco for individual ratings). For “field use” ASHRAE testing contact Labconco for a certified on-site contractor.

  • Page 24 Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions 1. Aerodynamic Clean-Sweep™ Air Foil has a unique low profile shape that allows air to sweep the work surface for maximum containment. The Clean-Sweep™ openings create a constant protective barrier from contaminants. In addition, should the operator inadvertently block the airflow entering the airfoil, air continues to pass under the air foil and through the Clean-Sweep openings.
  • Page 25 Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions 3. Upper Dilution Air Supply provides bypass air from above the work area. This feature constantly bathes the sash interior with clean air and reduces powders and chemical fumes along the sash plane, near the critical breathing zone.
  • Page 26 Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions Figure 4-5 5. Side Entry Air Foils allow turbulence free air to enter the enclosure from the sides and allow clean air to sweep the interior walls of the enclosure. 6. Ergonomic Slope provides maximum visibility, and comfort reduces glare, thereby minimizing operator fatigue.
  • Page 27 Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions 10. Electrical Pass through Iris allows electrical cords and data cords to pass through the back of enclosure without leaving a large hole for contaminants to escape. The unit ships with solid plugs and the iris plugs are included with the instruction manual for your convenience.
  • Page 28: Safety Precautions

    Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions Safety Precautions Although the enclosure has been engineered to maintain optimum operator safety, caution should always be used while working. Prior to using the enclosure, check to make sure that the exhaust blower is operating and that air is entering the enclosure at its specified face velocity.

    Chemir Analytical Services conducted balance stability tests on the XPert Filtered Balance System mounted on a Solid Epoxy Work Surface. No marble slab was used. The enclosure was tested while operating at three face velocities – 0, 78 fpm (factory setting), and 100 fpm. Samples of 5 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg were weighed on an analytical balance located inside the enclosure.
