Ergonomic Sloped Front; Convenient Filter Replacement; Durable Construction; Fluorescent Light With Electronic Ballast - Labconco Paramount 69632 Series User Manual

Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions

Ergonomic Sloped Front

The ergonomic slope provides maximum visibility and comfort, reduces
glare, thereby minimizing operator fatigue. The space saving design (U.S.
Patent No. D538,941) increases effective laboratory work space, because the
impeller and filters are all self-contained within the enclosure and a separate
filtered blower unit is not required.

Convenient Filter Replacement

The Paramount filter compartment was designed to make filter replacement
convenient and easy. The gas spring assisted clamping mechanism opens
effortlessly and applies uniform pressure across the entire top surface of the
filters for leak-proof, one-step filter replacement from the front of the
enclosure.

Durable Construction

Unlike comparable plastic or acrylic ductless fume hoods and enclosures, the
Paramount Ductless Enclosure is manufactured with durable tempered safety
glass and dry powder epoxy-coated aluminum and steel. The sides and sash
are made from tempered safety glass that will not easily discolor or craze like
plastic. The frame is made from dry powder epoxy-coated aluminum and
steel providing further strength and corrosion resistance to solvents and acids.

Fluorescent Light with Electronic Ballast

The fluorescent light is located above the work area, out of contact with
contaminated air and easy to service. All Paramounts have a fluorescent light
and energy saving light timer with electronic ballast. The light timer is a
programmable feature should you desire additional "green" energy savings.

Utility Iris Ports

All Paramounts have two utility iris ports that allow electrical cords and data
cords to pass through the back of the enclosure without leaving a large hole
for contaminants to escape. The enclosure ships with both solid plugs and
iris ports for your convenience.
