Page 12 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 13: 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 15: Electrical Requirements
Chapter 2: Prerequisites Electrical Requirements The Protector Hood models feature internal wiring for the fluorescent light assembly and light switch. All internal wiring is terminated at the single point wiring junction box for hook-up by a qualified electrician. The blower switch, and light switch wires are also terminated at the single point wiring junction box for hook-up by a qualified electrician.

Industrial Ventilation Manual section on laboratory hoods. (See Appendix D – Reference) Labconco recommends an average face velocity at the sash opening of 80 to 100 feet per minute. Consult Labconco Customer Service for proper airflow volumes for your particular model.
Page 26 Performance Features: The Protector® Laboratory Hood is designed to meet the needs of the laboratory scientist. The laboratory fume hood has been designed to effectively contain toxic, noxious, or other harmful materials when properly installed. A fully featured by-pass hood with baffle and air foil, this hood maintains safe airflow.
Page 27: Chapter 4: Performance Features And Safety Precautions
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions 1. Unique sash provides maximum visibility of 32.15" high while conserving energy by limiting sash travel to 28". Vertical-rising sash may be raised from a closed to 28" operating height. Exhaust volume, and blower sizing is based on the 28"...

Page 30: Safety Precautions
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions 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...
Page 31 Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Blocking the bottom of the baffle at rear of hood will change the airflow pattern in the hood causing turbulence and possible leakage at the face of the hood. (Don’t store containers or supplies against baffles, as this will affect airflow through the hood).
Page 32: Your Next Step
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions The use of heat-generating equipment in this hood without the exhaust system operating properly can cause damage to the hood. The Protector Laboratory Hood should be certified by a qualified certification technician before it is initially used.
Page 33 Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Product Service 1-800-522-7658...
Page 34: Operating The Vertical Rising Sash
Operating the Vertical- Rising Sash Because of the Protector 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.
Page 35: Chapter 5: Using Your Protector Fume Hood
Chapter 5: Using Your Protector Fume Hood Operating the A-Style Combination Sash Optional hood models have additional energy saving sashes called A-Style Combination Sashes in place of vertical-rising sashes. These combination sashes allow the operator to use the hood with sashes either half open horizontally or vertically to conserve energy.
