Congratulations on your purchase of a FilterMate™ Portable
Exhauster, which exhausts filtered air. Labconco manufactures ten
models of the FilterMate. These ten models consist of variations
of HEPA filtration, carbon filtration, HEPA filtration to outside
exhaust, combination HEPA/Carbon filtration and combination
carbon/carbon filtration. All of these units are offered in 115V,
50/60 Hz operations or 230V, 50/60 Hz operations.
The Labconco FilterMate is an accessory for the Labconco
Protector® XVS Ventilation Stations and XPert Balance
Enclosures. When the FilterMate is connected to the Protector
XVS or XPert, enclosure conforms to ANSI/AIHA Z 9.5 – 1993,
ETL and ETL-C, ASHRAE 110-95, and NFPA-45 (except carbon
filters). In addition the 230V, 50/60 Hz models carry the CE mark.
Carbon filters are sold separately and HEPA filters are included on
HEPA-filtered models.
The FilterMate provides the necessary airflow (CFM) to an
enclosure such as Protector XVS Ventilation Station or XPert
Balance Enclosure. The XPert Balance Enclosure or Protector
XVS Ventilation Station protects the operator from vapors and/or
particulates released during chemical, powder or biological
procedures performed within the enclosure. For biological and
powder work, the FilterMate must be equipped with a HEPA filter,
and is NOT to be used with biologically hazardous materials. For
volatile material, the FilterMate must be equipped with a carbon
filter or be exhausted outside the building. As the air moves
through the enclosure, vapors or particulates emitted within the
enclosure are drawn through a rear baffle, where
