Chapter 1:

Introduction


Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Protector® Work Station. Your
enclosure provides personnel protection through superior containment while
conserving energy at OSHA approved velocities as low as 60 feet per minute. It is
the result of Labconco’s more than 50 years of experience in manufacturing fume
hoods and more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing filtered enclosures.

These enclosures will effectively contain toxic or noxious fumes and chemicals
when properly installed and operated. Each enclosure uses either a carbon filter
for exhausting low concentrations to the room or an accessory remote blower or
accessory FilterMate Portable Exhauster for exhausting high concentrations to the
outside. The carbon filters are available with three different carbons for adsorbing
organic vapors, formaldehyde or ammonia and amines. The accessory FilterMate
Portable Exhauster can also filter particulates. The Protector Work Stations offer
many unique features to enhance safety, performance, and energy savings. To take
full advantage of them, please acquaint yourself with this manual and keep it
handy for future reference. If you are unfamiliar with how high performance
Protector Work Stations operate, please review Chapter 4: High Performance
Features and Safety Precautions
before you begin working in the enclosure. Even
if you are an experienced user, please review Chapter 5: Using Your Protector
Work Station,
which describes the features so that you can use the enclosure
efficiently. See chart that follows for application review and contact Labconco for
additional ordering information.
