Labconco Type C1 Biosafety Cabinet Models 30468 - Manual (Page 39)

Product Service 1-800-522-7658 39
If You Intend to Connect the Axiom to an Exhaust System:
NOTE: THE EXHAUST BLOWER CANNOT RUN AT ITS NOMINAL FLOW RATE
WITH THE SASH COMPLETELY CLOSED. IF YOU CHOOSE TO CLOSE THE
SASH COMPLETELY TO USE THE UV LIGHT FOR SURFACE DISINFECTION,
THEN THE EXHAUST BLOWER MUST BE SHUT OFF, OR ITS FLOW RATE
REDUCED 90% OR MORE FOR PROPER OPERATION. THE AXIOM HAS AN
OPTIONAL EN/CONTACT CIRCUIT BOARD THAT HAS DRY CONTACTS THAT
CAN BE CONFIGURED TO SIGNAL THE EXHAUST BLOWER TO TURN ON
WHEN THE AXIOM’s BLOWER IS ON. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION,
CONTACT LABCONCO’S PRODUCT SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AS AN
ALTERNATIVE, A REMOTE ELECTRICAL SWITCH FOR THE EXHAUST
BLOWER CAN BE INSTALLED NEAR THE AXIOM.
NOTE: Only connect the cabinet to a suitable exhaust system, one dedicated
to the cabinet itself, or dedicated to exhausting laboratory ventilation
equipment. DO NOT connect the unit to the
building’s HVAC system room exhaust.
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.
There should be a straight length 10 duct
diameters long between the cabinet and any
elbow, and between subsequent elbows.
