If this cover is removed, the cabinet will give no protection of the operator or of the environment and the fan will run with openly rotating blades. Caution The ReVo/ReVo Pro Class II cabinets will not provide any protection for operator or environment against harmful gases or vapours. Caution Always keep hands and arms away from the work chamber when activating the sliding window.
Description Safety systems The ReVo/ReVo Pro class II cabinets have the following build-in safety systems: Negative pressure air system A negative pressure air system combines with HEPA filters in the downflow and exhaust airflow for personnel and product protection. Personnel protection...

UV disinfection of the ReVo is possible with an accessory, sold separately of the cabinet. The standard Labconco cabinet system is prepared for full control of safety and timing for the use of UV light – see section “UV light option” for operation and build in safety measures.
Installation of the ReVo and ReVo Pro cabinets General considerations A class II safety cabinet is a ventilated cabinet, which provides product, operator and environmental protection. It has an open front with inward airflow for operator and environment protection, downward HEPA filtered laminar airflow over the entire working area for product protection and HEPA filtered exhaust air environmental protection.
The cabinet can be moved through a standard 2000 mm x 800 mm door. Transport of the ReVo / ReVo Pro can be carried out by lifting the cabinet using a forklift either sideways under the support stand or directly under the trough. Furthermore, the cabinet can be moved manually by using hooks in the dedicated holes in the support stand.
If the room exhaust is balanced to include air exhausted through the ducted safety cabinet, this cabinet must not be turned off. The ReVo and ReVo Pro cabinets can exhaust in three common ways: Directly to the room in which they are installed.
200 mm duct spigot on a housing and will fit over the exhaust filter. Care must be taken when fitting to avoid damaging the airflow sensor. Product name Catalogue No. Direct duct 900/1200 Contact Labconco Direct duct 1500/1800 Contact Labconco 4.5.4 Direct duct kit with horizontal venting anti- blowback (Not GS) This kit is designed for use when the cabinet is to be hard ducted with all air vented externally.
If moving is warranted both the ReVo and ReVo Pro can be lifted and moved using a low lifter (on 1500 and 1800 models use one from each side). Be aware that the cabinets are top heavy. Stabilize cabinet during the moving process.
Connecting utilities to the ReVo and ReVo Pro cabinets If optional valves for utilities are delivered, make sure that local rules and regulations are complied with during installation and use. It is generally recommended, to use an authorized technician for this kind of work.
This switch must be lockable both in the ON and OFF positions. Assemble the stand for the ReVo cabinets As default the ReVo is delivered without the stand mounted. ReVo Pro is always delivered with the stand mounted. Stand...
Installation test on the ReVo and ReVo Pro cabinets The ReVo and ReVo Pro must go through a series of test after installation has been finalized before being released for normal operation. As a minimum the following tests must be performed with satisfactory results: Leak test of downflow and exhaust filters and HEPA prefilters on ReVo Pro cabinets •...
Caution Labconco will not warrant the operational safety if the cabinet is operated without the required installation tests, or if these tests and are not performed by adequately trained personnel.

The user can enter a time for the UV light to be switched on and the duration of the UV disinfection period. The ReVo and ReVo Pro Class II Safety Cabinets are designed, build and tested in accordance with the current European standard EN 12469:2000 - Biotechnology - Performance criteria for microbiological safety cabinets, which is the standard dealing with class II safety cabinets.
Please remember that UV light does not penetrate areas blocked from the direct light – for example under the table tops - and that it does not represent a substitute for good old fashion mechanical cleaning of the inner surfaces of the safety cabinet. If UV is desired as a disinfectant, it must be used in careful combination with other cleaning and chemical disinfectant methods.
Devices making rapid movements, e.g. agitators, centrifuges. • Caution Do not damage the laminator, the prefilters (ReVo Pro) or the main filter in the ceiling of the work chamber by mechanical objects or heat sources, otherwise the microbiological safety is no longer ensured.
Turn the cabinet either to standby mode or off mode. 6.12 Shut down of the ReVo and ReVo Pro cabinets If the cabinet is not to be used or is to be stored for an extended period of time, it must be completely decontaminated.

To properly care for stainless steel, use cleaners and disinfectants free of caustic agents such as chlorine, iodine and ammonia. Always follow the application of any cleaner or disinfectant with a minimum of two clean distilled water rinses, then a thorough drying with a clean soft cloth. By rinsing with distilled water and drying, any remaining residue is removed from contact with the stainless steel.
UV Disinfection after cleaning the working chamber UV disinfection can be performed by using the optional factory installed UV light. To start the UV disinfection procedure: Close the front window. Press the yellow button (5). The pre-programmed UV settings will be performed. To interrupt or cancel the UV disinfection procedure, just press the yellow button (5) again.

The same procedure is used on ReVo (two-filter model) and ReVo Pro (three-filter model), which means that it is designed and designed to cope with the “worst case” cabinet, the ReVo Pro 1800. The validation of the decontamination process has been performed using chemical and biological indicators from BIOQUELL.

The Clarus S is set to 155 ml giving a gassing period of 80 minutes and an aeration period of 4 hours 10 minutes. Experience show that the aeration on the ReVo Pro cabinets will take longer, as the hydrogen peroxide in the prefilters is hard to remove. Check the concentration using a gas detection probe.
Page 73
Step by step procedure – decontamination of ReVo and ReVo Pro cabinets Prepare the cabinet Empty the cabinet. Remove all equipment that are not necessary for the decontamination process. It is recommended to remove the table tops on the ReVo Pro cabinets and place the decontamination equipment directly in the trough.
Page 74
Check the concentration inside the working chamber. If it is 1 ppm or less, the cabinet is safe and can be opened completely. On ReVo Pro cabinets the concentration must be measured inside the prefilters, where some hydrogen peroxide will probably be found even with the working chamber clean.
