2. Find the hardware (lag screws, etc.) that attach the fume hood to the
skid and remove the hardware. Some hardware is on the sides and
some is on the back.
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
operating the sash. On models with more than one sash, the sash weights have
been secured to the shipping skid with lag screws. Remove the weights from the
skid and attach them to the respective sash cables or chains using the threaded
connectors provided.
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.
La Hotte Protecteur est lourd ! Prudence en soulevant ou en
déplaçant l'objet.
When installing the Protector XStream Fume 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 fume hood for good airflow: this will provide the correct
spacing under the air foil for proper bypass airflow. The Protector XStream with
Eco-Foil performs best with a work surface having a large 1.0" leading radius to
promote aerodynamic airflow at low velocities. The high performance XStream
work surface should have a 36" deep dimension. 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: 1). Support the rear of the
work surface and fume hood. 2). The cross support provides
support for the bottom of the work surface. 3). Install the
cross support after the base cabinets and work surface are
leveled and before installing the hood.

boxes are accessible from the front of the fume hood by removing the front panel.
The Protector XStream Hood is wired for 115 Volt, 50/60 Hz, 20 Amp or
230Volt, 50/60 Hz, 10 Amp electrical service. Check the I.D. plate behind the
front panel for voltage verification. The number of circuits varies depending on
the model. All of the electrical connections are terminated at the field wiring
terminal box for hook-up by a qualified electrician. We recommend each circuit
be a dedicated branch circuit. However, if wired together the maximum load
allowed is the sum of individual outlets plus the rating of the unit (i.e. 2 Amps).
The single point internal junction box is used for the connection of the lights,
blower, and duplex outlets. Refer to the wiring diagram for your Protector
XStream in Appendix C: Protector XStream Fume Hood Specifications.
The fume hood is required to be grounded to the MAINS protective earthing ground
for safe operation. Using a ring terminal sized for a 10-24 machine screw, connect
the MAINS ground conductor to the grounding lug marked with the protective
earthing symbol, . Only MAINS ground conductors should be connected to the
protective earthing ground lug, no other conductors should be connected to this
grounding lug. Using wire nuts connect the MAINS supply conductors to the fume
hood supply wires. Insure that the wires are connected as per the appropriate wire
color codes for the input voltage. For 115V Phase (Hot) is black and Neutral is
white, for 230V Phase1 is brown and Phase2 is blue. Refer to the wiring diagram for
your Protector XStream in Appendix C: Protector XStream Specifications.

Original instructions
Figure 3-2
All wiring for the fume hood SHOULD be performed by a
licensed electrician and conform to all local codes. In most
cases, the hood will require the use of shielded conduit to
protect the wiring into the hood. The grounding connection
shall not be made to the terminal box cover.
Tout le câblage électrique pour la hotte aspirante devrait être
exécuté par un électricien agrée et être conforme à tous les
règles en vigueur. Dans la plupart des cas, la hotte exigera
l'usage de conduit blindé pour protéger le câblage électrique
dans la hotte. La prise de terre ne sera pas faite à la couverture
de la boîte du terminal.
