22. Increase the face velocity by adjusting the speed control of the motorized

impeller on the XPert Filtered Balance System or change the HEPA filter
when the face velocity falls below acceptable limits established by your
Safety Officer.

23. Exhaust carbon filters and HEPA filters are disposed as hazardous waste.

The user is responsible for recording the chemicals adsorbed or treated by
the filters and disposing properly. HEPA filters should be disposed using
the disposal bag on XPert enclosures.

24. Ensure only trained operators use the enclosure. New users should review

the User’s Manual and become familiar with the operation of the enclosure.

25. If the filtered enclosure is to be used in a confined space, make sure the

space is well ventilated and the concentration of toxic contaminants cannot
accumulate greater than the TWA.

26. Proper operation of the enclosure depends largely upon the enclosure

location and the operator’s work habits. The enclosure should be located
away from traffic patterns, doors, fans, ventilation registers, fume hoods,
and any other air-handling device that could disrupt its airflow patterns.
Consult Chapter 2: Prerequisites and Chapter 3: Getting Started sections of
this manual for further details.

27. Only powders and particulates removed by HEPA filters and trace

chemicals, which can be safely adsorbed and treated with specific carbon
based filters are appropriate for use in this enclosure.

28. The warning properties (i.e., odor, taste) of the volatile organic compounds

or other material being used in the enclosure must be adequate to provide
an early indication that the carbon filter may be saturated or inadequate.
Contact Labconco for help with chemical assessment.

29. Use the smallest possible quantity of chemical(s) within the enclosure and

never exceed the amount, which can be effectively adsorbed by the Odor
Control carbon filter before breakthrough.

30. For weighing procedures, adjust face velocity between 60 and 100 FPM for

effective operation.

31. Leave the blower on for at least one minute after work in the enclosure has

been completed.

32. If a chemical, powder or particulates are spilled on the work surface, DO

NOT switch off the blower until all traces have been removed.

33. Tag enclosures with appropriate warning, if filters have been removed for service.

34. If the blower fails during use, processes should cease and the area should

be vacated and ventilated.

35. Always refer to the NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards before

proceeding. For additional help with filter and chemical selection contact
