CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Protector®Echo™or Protector®
Airo™ Filtered Fume Hood which is unique as it is built on a traditional fume
hood platform along with Neutrodine®Filters that handle solvents, acids, and bases
with one comprehensive filter. From here on in this manual, the Protector Airo
only refers to the shorter height 3' and 4' widths with 54.2" exterior height. It
offers a comfortable workspace for users accustomed to the space and utility of a
standard ducted fume hood, but in the realm of a filtered fume hood. The Protector
Filtered Fume Hood solves the problem of ducting in laboratories that are difficult
to vent because of location. The Protector Filtered Fume Hood combines its
patented (U.S. Patent No. 6,461,233) fully featured, containment-enhancing fume
hood design with Neutrodine (by Erlab) filtration technology to deliver a multi-use
ductless fume hood. The Protector Filtered Fume Hood meets the definition of
SEFA 9 DH3 ductless hoods because of its sensor package, backup filters, and
communication. Building communication is one of the most important aspects of
the Protector Filtered Fume Hood. In the event of loss of airflow, damage of a
primary filter, or if a leak reaches the second set of redundant filters for any
reason, an alarm will sound and the communication system will alert a designated
email address. The designated safety officer could be made aware of the problem
immediately through any internet-enabled smart phone, tablet or computer. Large
laboratories and labs where a single safety manager must handle multiple concerns
will benefit most from this proactive safety system.
The Labconco Protector Filtered Fume Hood has been engineered to provide
maximum visibility in a laboratory, and effectively contain toxic, noxious, or other
harmful materials when properly installed. The Protector Filtered Fume Hood
offers many unique features to enhance safety, performance, and visibility. To
take full advantage of them, please acquaint yourself with this manual and keep it
handy for future reference. If you are unfamiliar with how fume hoods operate,
please review Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions before
you begin working in the fume hood. Even if you are an experienced fume hood
user, please review Chapter 5: Using Your Protector Filtered Hood, which
describes your filtered hood’s features so that you can efficiently use the hood.

Sash Weight Release
To protect the fume hood from damage in shipment, the sash weight has been
secured to the back of the fume hood with screws. Simply remove the screws and
make sure the sash cables or chains are on the pulleys or sprockets before
operation of the sash.
NOTE: THE SASH WEIGHT ITSELF WAS INDIVIDUALLY
MATCHED FOR THIS SPECIFIC HOOD AND SHOULD NOT
BE EXCHANGED ON ANY OTHER UNIT.
Installing the Hood on a Supporting
Structure and Work Surface
The Protector Hood is heavy! Use caution when lifting or
moving the unit.
Le Protecteur Hood est lourd! Soyez prudent lorsque vous
soulever ou déplacer l'appareil.
When installing the Protector Filtered Hood onto a chemically-resistant work surface
or benchtop, ensure that the structure can safely support the combined weight of the
fume hood and any related equipment. The work surface should be at least as wide
as the hood to properly support it. The work surface is aligned flush with the back
of the filtered fume hood for good airflow: this will provide the correct spacing
under the air foil for proper bypass airflow. The lower base cabinets are placed
flush with the front of the work surface as shown in Figure 3-1.
WARNING: It is important to support the rear of the work
surface and filtered fume hood. The cross support provides
support for the bottom of the work surface. Install the cross
support after the base cabinets and work surface are leveled
and before installing the hood.
AVERTISSEMENT : Il est important de soutenir l'arrière de

The filtered hoods with service fixtures have been plumbed from the valve to the
hose connector or gooseneck for your installation convenience. Supply tubing
shall be provided by the qualified installer. Tubing can enter the filtered hood
from above, through the back, or through the work surface to make these
connections to the service fixtures.
NOTE: Inspect all fittings for leakage. Tighten the fittings
slightly if needed.
NOTE : Inspecter toutes les installations à la recherche de
fuite. Resserrer les installations légèrement si nécessaires.
CAUTION: Do not use oxygen with any standard service
fixture. Contact Labconco Customer Service for oxygen
