from hazardous particulates, fumes or vapors and should also be used if the
carbon filter capacity is not adequate. Each Canopy Exhaust Connection
includes an epoxy-coated steel exhaust transition adapter designed for 6"
diameter nominal duct on 2', 3' and 4' sizes. The 5' and 6' sizes use 10"
nominal duct. See figure 3-3 in Chapter 3 and figure B-3 in appendix B.

26. Upper Diffuser Screen provides protection for the HEPA Filter and

(LED) airflow sensor. See Figure 4-1 and 4-2.

procedures. For harmful powders and particulates, the true bag-in/bag-out
procedure is used to properly dispose of the contaminated HEPA filter. See
Figure 4-2.

Safety Precautions

1. Although the enclosure has been engineered to maintain optimum operator

safety, caution should always be used while working. Prior to using the
enclosure, check to make sure that the exhaust blower is operating and that
air is entering the enclosure at its specified face velocity. The use of an
airflow monitor is recommended to alert the user to a problem with airflow.

2. Use good housekeeping in the enclosure at all times. Clean up spills

immediately. Periodically clean enclosure interior.

3. Do not overload the work surface with apparatus or work material. The

safe operation of the enclosure is based upon having proper airflow through
the structure. Do not place large objects directly on the work surface.
Instead, elevate the object 3/4" on blocks to allow a flow of air under the
object and into the rear baffle exhaust slots. Ensure blocks are level and
secured in place.

4. Blocking large portions of the rear baffle will change the airflow pattern in

the enclosure causing turbulence. (Do not store containers or supplies
against the rear baffle, as this will affect airflow).

5. Always work with your hands as far back into the enclosure as possible.

Keep all powders, chemicals and apparatus inside the lower air foil of the
enclosure.

6. Do not work in this enclosure without the exhaust system running.

7. Perchloric acid use in this enclosure is prohibited.

8. High-level radioisotope materials are prohibited in this enclosure. Consult

your Safety Officer.

9. Avoid cross drafts and limit traffic in front of the enclosure. Air

disturbances created may draw contaminants out of the enclosure.

10. A qualified certification technician should test the enclosure before it is

initially used. The enclosure should be validated whenever it is relocated.
