Initial Operation

Prior to use with evidence, you should perform the following operational
tests to ensure the cabinet is operating properly:

• Airflow Smoke Pattern Test

3

With the cabinet fan ON, introduce smoke (from a cigarette,

chemical smoke stick, etc.) into the prefilter at the bottom of
the door. The smoke should flow directly into the cabinet, and
then into the upper prefilter located at the top of the cabinet
liner. The smoke should move from the door to the intake
prefilter in approximately 5 seconds or less. If the smoke does
not flow as described, see the “Adjusting the Fan Speed”
section of Chapter 6.

• UV Light and Interlock Tests

3

With the door closed, turn the “Fan/UV Light” switch to “UV”

and the “UV Security Keylock to “ON”. The UV light will
then turn on. Open the door, and the UV light will turn off.
Close the door, and the UV light should relight. Turn the UV
Security Keylock to the “OFF” position, and the UV light will
turn off. If the UV light does not work as described, call
Labconco’s Product Service Department at 1-800-522-7658 or
816-333-8811.

• Spray Gun and Drain Pump and Tests (Model # 34000-10 thru

-14, 34040-10 thru 34040-14 & 34050-10 thru -14 only)

3

Open the cabinet door, and ensure that the drain strainer is in

place. Open the lower door, and turn the cabinet water supply
valve on. Use the spray gun in the “Shower” setting, ensuring
proper operation. Turn the gun and cabinet supply valve off.
Push the control switch to the “Drain Pump” position. The
majority of water should be pumped out of the cabinet and to
the floor drain. Some water may remain in the bottom of the
cabinet due to surface tension or the floor not being level. In
this case, use a small squeegee or sponge to direct the
remaining water to the drain. Shut off the drain pump when
finished.
