Original instructions
Note: On 100 and 115 VAC models, both electrical outlets are protected by a
ground fault interrupter circuit (GFIC). Labconco does not recommend
plugging the biosafety cabinet into a GFIC outlet.
Electrical outlets in the cabinet are restricted to 5 amps
maximum current.
Prises électriques dans l'armoire sont limitées à 5 courant
maximum ampères.
Do not use any detachable power cord that is not adequately
rated for the unit.
Ne pas utliser un fil électrique amovible qui n’est pas du tension
nominale de l’appareil.
Service Line Requirements
All utility service lines should be ¼ inch O.D., brass, copper, or stainless
steel, and equipped with an easily accessible shut-off valve. If the service line
pressure exceeds 40 PSI, it must be equipped with a pressure regulator to
reduce the line pressure.
Note: The use of flammable gases or solvents should be avoided in the
biosafety cabinet. Open flame in the cabinet will disrupt the laminar airflow
in the cabinet and may damage the HEPA filters. Flammable gases or
solvents may reach explosive concentrations in the cabinet or ductwork. If
you feel that the procedure requires the use of an open flame or flammable
materials, contact the institution’s safety office.
The use of air or gases under high pressure should be avoided as they may
seriously disrupt the airflow patterns in the cabinet.
