Section Three –
Installation Requirements and Setup
Procedures
This section offers an overview of site requirements and how to prepare the unit for
operation.
Space Requirements
The dimensions for the different models are shown in Section 11: Miscellaneous.
Clearance
Logics not connected to an exhaust system should have at least six inches (150 mm)
clearance from any overhead obstructions when the cabinet is in its final operating
position, to allow for testing of the Exhaust HEPA filter. A clearance of at least 6 inches
(150 mm) should be maintained on both sides of the cabinet, as well as 12 inches
behind the unit, to allow for service operations if necessary.
Location Requirements
Note: The Purifier 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. All windows in the room should be closed. Figure 3-1 shows the preferred
location for the Purifier. The preferred location is perpendicular to the door, to minimize
the effect of opening and closing the door on the performance of the cabinet.
