Note: UV irradiation is absorbed by the tempered safety glass of the door.
Independent research has shown that the level of UV irradiation on the
outside of the cabinet's door is equal to background radiation levels.
Note: The UV sensitivity of a target organism varies, depending on the UV
output of the lamp, the genus and species of the organism, the medium the
agent is suspended in, etc. Contact the Health and Safety Officer at your
facility for UV light use and recommendations.
Safety Precautions
For All Models:
NEVER expose ANY EVIDENCE, plastic or coated materials to ultraviolet
(UV) radiation. Never bypass the UV safety interlock that only allows the
UV light to work when the door is closed. UV exposure to the skin is
hazardous and can result in serious eye or skin injury.
NEVER expose UV Lamp or UV Lamp connections to liquids.
Ensure that the cabinet is connected to electrical service in accordance with
local and national electrical codes. Failure to do so may create a fire or
electrical hazard. Do not remove or service any electrical components
without first disconnecting the cabinet from electrical service.
NEVER use this cabinet as a chemical storage cabinet.
When handling evidence, or working in the cabinet, always wear
appropriate personnel protective equipment.
NEVER attempt to dry evidence containing flammable gases or solvents in
the cabinet. An open flame should NOT be used in the cabinet.
HEPA filters only remove particulate matter. Operations generating volatile
toxic chemicals are prohibited. The media of the filter is fragile and should
not be touched. 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. The rate of
accumulation will depend upon the cleanliness of the air, operating time
and the nature of items being dried in the cabinet.
