Exhaust HEPA Filter Leak Test

All Logic models were tested to the HEPA Filter Leak Test as described in ANSI/NSF
Standard 49:2007.

Note: ensure all internal surfaces of the Logic have been appropriately
decontaminated before proceeding.

Note: If so equipped, the prefilter element on the towel catch should be
removed, and the aerosol generator should be placed nearby to inject the
aerosol as shown in Figure 6-6.

Testing at Labconco has shown the actual concentration varies from the calculated
value. Table 6-2 shows the actual vs. calculated concentrations for the B2 models.

3. The calculated concentration was established by the formula:

Concentration (ug/l) = (# Laskin nozzles @ 20 PSIG x 13,500)/Volume of air displaced

4. Based on Mineral oil

1. Turn on the photometer and allow it to operate for a minimum of 5 minutes.

Leave the valve in the “CLEAR” setting.

2. Check the oil level of the generator – it must be within 1/8” of the level line

when the generator is sitting level.

3. Establish the 100% and 0% concentration levels for the photometer.
