Fluorescent light
In this mode the fluorescent lights are operating. When the sash is
fully closed, the fluorescent lights automatically turn off.
UV light
In this mode the UV (germicidal) light is operating. When the
sash is fully closed, the UV light can be programmed to
automatically turn on. When the sash is raised, the light
automatically turns off, to protect the laboratory from UV
irradiation. Note: The UV light feature is not recommended or
readily available for Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinets with the
Scope-Ready Package.
Timer
When either the interval or stopwatch timer mode is active, this
icon appears.
Security Lock
When the security lock is activated the keypad does not respond to
any buttons until the proper sequence of keystrokes is entered.
Mute
When this icon is on, the audible alarm is muted for
approximately 5 minutes.
Operating the Sliding Sash
The counterbalanced, anti-racking sash mechanism requires only a few
pounds of force to move the sash up or down. You can open or close the sash
smoothly with one or two hands positioned on either handle.
Note: Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinets with Scope-Ready Package will not
allow for easy movement of the sash with the microscope eyepieces installed.
The blower and safety interlock system will typically work in manual mode
for these models unless the microscope is disengaged from the Pure-Vu Seal.
The sash position alarm and safety interlock system senses the sash position
and acts appropriately. The Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinet has been
programmed to operate at a 9-inch (229 mm) sash opening, depending on
model. Raising the sash above its operating height will activate the audible
and visual alarms. The audible alarm can be temporarily muted (for
approximately five minutes) by depressing and releasing the Mute/OK
button. Closing the sash back to its operating position will reset the alarm and
defeat the muting of the alarm. The safety interlock system senses when the
sash is closed and allows the optional ultraviolet (UV) lamp to operate only
when the sash is closed, to protect the operator from irradiation.
