Chapter 5: Using Your Clean Bench

The UV light is interlocked to only
operate when the blower is off.
NEVER attempt to bypass this
interlock.



Reading the Pressure
Gauge


The pressure gauge on the front of the unit displays the
total system operating pressure (the negative pressure
below the prefilters, plus the positive pressure on the
HEPA filter). The pressure gauge reading should be
periodically recorded during use. An increase in
pressure indicates either prefilter or HEPA filter
loading.

Use of the Clean Bench

• Thoroughly understand procedures and

equipment before beginning work.

• Arrange for minimal disruptions, such as room

traffic or entry into the room, while the clean
bench is in use.

Start-Up

• Turn on fluorescent light and clean bench

blower.

• Check the prefilter for obstructions and note the

gauge reading.
