2: Before You Install
Before you install the product, the site should be prepared for installation. Examine the
location where you intend to install it. You must be certain that the area is level and of
solid construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical power must be located
within 10 feet (3 m) of the installation site.
Location Requirements
The chamber is equipped with leg levelers (if not attached to the accessory stand) to
ease level chamber installation. It should be located on a flat surface for proper
chamber alignment and door operation. The surface must support 500 lbs. (227 kg).
Clearance Requirements
A minimum clearance of at least 6 inches (150 mm) is suggested on the top of the
chamber, 12 inches (300 mm) on the right side for service, and 2 inches (50 mm)
behind the chamber. There should be 36 inches (914 mm) clearance at the front of the
chamber to allow the door to swing open without hitting any obstructions.
See Appendix B: Dimensions for overall product dimensions.

Exhaust Requirements
The CApture BT Fuming Chamber does not require exhaust ducting. The unit filters the
chamber air through a pre-filter and a main carbon filter to remove Cyanoacrylate
vapors. Clean exhaust air from the chamber is recirculated back into the room.
