Starting the Biosafety Cabinet
1. To start the Biosafety Cabinet, raise the sash until its bottom edge
aligns with the sash position label on the left corner post. The decal is
shown in Figure 5-3.
2. Press the blower button to start the unit. The unit will run a self-test
for approximately 15 seconds. Additionally, you will be instructed to
“Please Wait” for three minutes to allow the cabinet to reach proper
operating conditions. If the alarm sounds, recheck the sash position.
If the sash is too high, the sash audible alarm and the LCD display
will indicate the sash is too high.
3. To turn the UV light on, the sash must be completely closed to
prevent the escape of any UV radiation. Push the UV light button to
activate the UV light.
Note: The sash must be completely closed for the UV light to activate.
