Chapter 5: Using Your Protector Fume Hood
Operating the Horizontal-
Sliding Sashes
Horizontal-sliding sashes allow the operator the
flexibility of arranging the sashes at a position suitable
for various procedures. The glass sashes have a 68.15"
sash opening providing a large viewing area. The
airflow requirements are sized for the 50% open sash
condition for the 8' model and 25% for the 10', 12', and
16' models.
Operating the Blower
Your Protector Fume Hood utilizes a remote style
blower, which can be activated by turning the blower
switch to “ON.” You can validate the hood
performance by watching smoke drawn into the hood
face opening.
Operating the Lights
Your Protector Fume Hood utilizes a factory-wired
fluorescent light to illuminate the hood interior. Simply
turn the light switch to “ON” to operate.
