Exhaust Requirements
If you intend to connect the Biosafety Cabinet to the optional Canopy
Connection Kit, first examine the location to ensure that it accommodates the
cabinet’s exhaust duct. The area directly above the cabinet’s exhaust port
should be clear of structural elements, water and utility lines, or other fixed
obstructions. There should be enough clearance to accommodate a 10-inch
diameter duct. Avoid cabinet locations that require an elbow directly above
the cabinet’s exhaust connection or an excessive number of elbows in the
exhaust system. For further information about the cabinet’s exhaust system
requirements, please refer to Chapter 3: Getting Started.

The different Biosafety Cabinet models have the following electrical
requirements:

All Biosafety Cabinets with model numbers ending in –00 to –09 are
designed for operation at 115 volts 60 Hz, alternating current. Biosafety
Cabinets with model numbers ending in –20 to –29 are designed for
operation at 230 +/- 20 volts, 50/60 Hz alternating current.
Note: A dedicated outlet with a circuit breaker rated at 20 amps should
be located as close as possible to the right rear side of the cabinet, at a
height even with, or higher than, the top of the bench or stand.
Note: On 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.
