NOTE 1
Your enclosure is shipped with the prelter(s) attached to the inside of the enclosure. AirClean® Systems prelters
are ltrete electrostatic particulate lters with 65% efciency for particulate down to 0.5 microns in diameter (DOP
test). The prelter must be checked on a scheduled basis. Refer to the “MAINTENANCE” section of this manual.
NOTE 2
Your AirClean® Systems PowderSafe™ enclosure was shipped with the primary and permanent HEPA lters in-
stalled. The HEPA lters protect the operator from particulate but will not protect the operator from any fumes.
The HEPA lters must be changed on a scheduled basis. Refer to the “MAINTENANCE” section of this manual.

Type B Enclosure
AirClean® Systems Type B enclosures provide maximum operator protection during weighing
and lter change out. Variable Airow Volume Control ensures constant operator protection
from exposure to pharmaceutical compounds.
AirClean® Systems HEPASafe™ lter change technology allows for safe and easy change
of all contaminated lters, while under negative pressure. A permanent HEPA lter protects
the operator during primary HEPA lter change out. If the primary HEPA lter should ever be
compromised, it would also act as a permanent “nondisturbed” backup safety lter. The pre-
lter and primary HEPA lter are simply bagged out within the enclosure.
OVERVIEW
Independently tested and validated for personal protection from particulate.
Copies of these reports are available from AirClean® Systems upon request.

How PowderSafe™ Type B Works:
1. Air enters at “A” and is drawn in a laminar ow toward the rear plenum of the
enclosure while being mixed with contaminated air ”B”.
2. At “C” the contaminated air rst enters a roughing pre-lter before entering
the primary HEPA lter.
3. Air cleaned by the primary HEPA lter enters the permanent safety HEPA
lter at ”D”.
4. Clean air is returned to the room at “E”.

1) Make sure that your workstation arrived secured to a pallet/skid. Inspect the exterior
packaging (box) for damage. Note any damage or absence of pallet on the freight
carrier’s waybill and call AirClean® Systems immediately.
2) Put on safety glasses and cut banding material.
3) Remove box top and sleeve.
4) Remove shrink-wrap and foam. If you use a sharp object to cut the shrink-wrap
and foam, make sure not to cut into the workstation.
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 2. Unpacking the workstation
Note: Ready access is required to the power entry module and On/Off switch
located at the upper right side of the enclosure behind the AirSafe™ controller.
CAUTION: This workstation should not be installed
near doors, windows or air conditioning/ heating/
ventilation systems. Air must be allowed to circulate
freely around the enclosure. Allow at least 6” between
the top and the right side of the enclosure and any
obstructions.
5) If ordered, assemble the mobile cart. Assembly instructions are included with the cart
and also in the OPTIONS section of this manual. (page 29)
6) Designate the appropriate installation location. Make sure that the desired area is
stable enough to hold the workstation and that there is an appropriate AC wall
receptacle near the workstation. Do not place workstations near doors, windows, or
air returns.
CAUTION: DO NOT lift the workstation by the head
assembly, the sash, or any protruding wires.
7) Based upon the size of the enclosure, make sure to have adequate equipment and
personnel to put in place. See Technical Specications on pages 8-10.

8) Place the workstation in the desired location. Once in place, make sure that it is secure
and stable.
9) Visually inspect your workstation, checking for any damage that may have occurred
in shipping. Pay special attention to the sash hinges. If damage has occurred, call
AirClean® Systems immediately. DO NOT attempt to use workstation.
10) Make sure that the rear hatch cover is secure and seated properly. See gure 4.
