  • Page 18 5: Performance Features & Safety Precautions The Protector Evidence Drying Cabinet (EDC) operates using the following principles: • Directional airflow. • Prefiltration of large particulates by an inlet prefilter (in the door) and an exhaust prefilter (in the top of the liner). •...
  • Page 19 Directional Airflow Directional airflow plays a critical role in EDC performance. Air is drawn into the inlet prefilter, located on the bottom of the door(s). The filtered air then flows upwards through the liner, passing over the evidence to be dried.

  • Page 21 Note: HEPA Filters are only effective against particulate material. Gases will pass through the filter. Figure 5-2 Polyurethane seal Filter frame Between media pack and filter frame Filter media pack – A continuous sheet of filter media Blower The blower assembly pulls room air into the intake prefilter on the front of the door(s), through the liner and exhaust prefilter, and then forces it through the HEPA and granular activated carbon filter.
  • Page 22 Avoid puncturing the HEPA filter during installation or normal operation. If you suspect that a HEPA filter has been damaged, DO NOT use the cabinet; contact Labconco at 800-821-5525 or 816-333-8811 for further information. The HEPA filters in the cabinet will gradually accumulate airborne particulate matter from the items placed in the cabinet.
