someothersuitablyqualiedindividual.
• Explosiveorinammablesubstancesshouldneverbeusedinthecabinetunlessaqualiedsafetyprofessionalhas
evaluated the risk involved.
• If chemical, radiological or other non-microbiological hazards are being used in the cabinet, additional protective
measures should be taken. Additionally, the operation should be monitored by a suitably trained individual.
• Before you proceed, you should thoroughly understand the installation procedures and take note of the environ-
mental/electrical requirements of the cabinet.
• Iftheequipmentisusedinamannernotspeciedbythismanual,theprotectionprovidedbythis
equipment may be impaired.
• Evenwiththebenetstheyprovide,germicidalultravioletlampsposeimminentdangerifusedwithouttakingthe
proper precautions. You MUSTavoidexposuretodirectorreectedgermicidalultravioletrays,sincetheycause
painful eye irritation and reddening of the skin. In order to use our direct germicidal UVC products, you MUST
wear personal protection equipment—gloves, a long sleeve shirt with no gaps between cuffs and gloves and an
ultraviolet-blocking face shield to protect eyes and exposed skin. Under no circumstances should any direct ger-
micidal UVC unit be permitted to operate with humans, plants or animals present in the operation area.

II. Unpacking Your Cabinet
This chapter aims to provide relevant information on how to handle the cabinet properly upon receipt. Failure
to follow these instructions may damage the cabinet. We strongly advise you to read this chapter carefully
before proceeding further.
2.1 Step-By-Step Procedure
1. Inspecting the Crate, Pallet, Boxes.
»Upon receipt of your new cabinet, inspect all cartons. If there is any visible damage to the exterior please
refer to the Damaged Freight Claim Information on our website.

Air Science® 120 6th Street \Fort Myers, FL 33907 \T239-489-0024 \Toll Free 800-306-0656 \F800-306-0677 \www.airscience.com

2. Moving the Pallet.
»The pallet is designed to protect the cabinet from any foreseeable circumstances. However, excessive
impact on the boxes or pallet may also damage the cabinet. Prevent any direct impact or hitting to
the pallet when moving.
»Whenliftingthepallet,alwaysensurethattheoorjackormechanicallifttruckhasfullyenteredunder
the pallet in order to achieve stability. Failure to do so will increase the risk of the pallet falling off the
oorjackormechanicallifttruckduringhandling.Pleaseuseasuitableextensionbarwhennecessary.
3. Opening the Boxes.
»If you did not receive one or more of the parts listed on the packing checklist, or if any of the items are
damaged, please refer to the Damaged Freight Claim Information on our website.
4. Removing the Packaging Material.
»The cabinet is protected by Styrofoam, cardboard and/or shrink-wrap.
»IfyoundanydamageduringthisstageofunpackingpleaserefertopleaserefertotheDamaged
Freight Claim Information on our website.
»We recommend leaving the cabinet secured with straps to the pallet until the cabinet is located
initsapproximatenalpositiontofacilitateeaseandsafetyinhandling.
NOTE: Choosing the best location for your cabinet in order to achieve optimum operating performance
is determined by a number of factors. Please refer to the next chapter for some guidelines.
5. Moving the Cabinet.
»Whenliftingthepalletwiththecabinet,alwaysensurethattheoorjackormechanicallifttruckhasfully
entered under the pallet. This is to increase the stability of the cabinet and reduce the risk of the cabinet
falling down. Please use a suitable extension bar when necessary. During the moving of the cabinet,
ensure there is enough distance between the supports of the pallet and the ground. Dragging the pallet
against the ground will damage the pallet and possibly your new cabinet.
»When removing cabinet from pallet or placing cabinet onto pallet, use at least two people.
6. Removing the Strapping.
»Remove the strapping by cutting it at a safe position to prevent scratching the surface of your
new cabinet.
»Do not discard the packaging material for your cabinet until you have checked all of the components,
installed and tested the unit.
NOTE:
»When installing the cabinet onto an existing work surface, ensure that the structure can safely support
thecombinedweightofthecabinetandanyrelatedequipment.Somemodicationstotheworksurface
may be necessary.
»The work surface should be smooth, non-porous and resistant to the disinfectants and chemicals used
in conjunction with the cabinet.

III. Installing Your Cabinet
3.1 Choosing a Suitable Location
Locationimpactsthenatureandextentofexternalairowdisturbances,whichmayaffectperformance
of the cabinet when it is exposed to these disturbances.
Wheninstallingthecabinet,itshouldbelocatedasfarawayaspossiblefromsourcesofairowdisturbance
andinanorientationwhichoptimallyshieldstheairowofthecabinetfromallexternalairowdisturbances.
Please note that the cabinet should not be placed close to another cabinet.
Please follow these guidelines when choosing a suitable location for your cabinet.
• The location must be far away from:
»Personneltrafcows.
»Air vents (in and out).
»Doors and windows.
»Any other sources of disruptive air currents or air drafts.
• Ifdraftsorotherdisruptiveaircurrentsexceedthefacevelocityofthelter,thepotentialexistsfor
contaminated air to enter the work zone of the cabinet.
• A minimum distance of 50 cm (20 in) to the top of the ceiling is recommended for blower changing
purposes.
• Aclearanceof183cm(6ft)infrontofthecabinetisstronglyadvisedinordertomaintainproperairow.
• Please permit adequate space for cleaning behind the cabinet.

WARNING!
• Thedryingcabinetshouldonlybeoperatedwiththecorrectltersinstalledfortheapplication.Refer
to Filter Information – page 26. The cabinet must not be used for laboratory work in which chemicals of
differenttypesareusedthatdonotmatchtheltertype;orthattheprimarychemicalsortheirby-prod-
ucts are not known. The ductless fume cabinet should not be used for different chemical processes where
chemicalsfromthedifferentprocessescouldreactinthelter.
• Checktheairowsandthelterconditionofthecabinetonaregularbasis.ThisiscoveredinMaintenance
–- page 20.
• Theequipmentshouldnotbeusedinaammableroomatmosphere.
• Donotuseagasame(Bunsenburner)wheneverpossible,asitinterfereswithairow.
• Minimizearmmovement.Movearmsinandoutofthecabinetslowlytoavoiddisruptingcabinetairow.
• Use absorbent pads on the work surface where appropriate to minimize splatter and aerosol generation in
case of spillage.
• Operators should avoid sudden movements within the cabinet, as this may cause temporary reversal of the
airow.
• Operators should maintain the normal safety equipment and procedures for dealing with hazardous
substances.

V. Maintaining Your Cabinet
5.1 General
In some countries it is mandatory to maintain written records of checks, tests and repairs carried out on safety
equipment. These records must be kept for 5 years. A full list of Occupational Exposure Limits should be obtained
fromyoursafetyofcer.
Regular preventative maintenance on the cabinet will reduce the possibility of hazard to the operator
and ensure reliable performance from the cabinet.
WARNING! Before attempting inspection and repairs to the cabinet, please ensure main power
to the system has been disconnected and that the power lead has been removed. It should also be noted
that fume cabinets are sometimes used to contain and protect users of the cabinet from hazardous or
harmful substances. Before commencing this schedule it is important to ensure the
cabinet is safe to work on.
5.2 General Cleaning
Wipe down the unit with only soapy water.
5.3 Pre-Filters
Check condition and replace if required.
5.4AirowMeasurements
Theinowvelocityofthecabinetshouldbecheckedwiththedoorsclosedusingananemometersuchasahotwire,
vane anemometer or propeller type. Depending on the size of the cabinet, a series of readings are to be taken at
the front opening; these are to be recorded on a service sheet or system log sheet.
Airow
Checkandrecordtheinowairvelocityatthepre-lterintake/cabinetairintakeatthefrontofthecabinetaperture
asfollows:Usingacalibratedhotwireorvaneanemometerorsimilarapprovedairowmeter,takeaminimumof
3 readings across the opening as shown below. The readings should be recorded on a service sheet or system log
sheet.
