The selected exhaust duct material should match the
hood procedures and chemicals used to ensure
compatibility.
Connecting the Electrical Supply
Source to the Protector XStream
Fume Hood
Prior to connecting the Protector XStream to any electrical wiring
to the fume hood structure, refer to the hood identification plate for
the proper electrical requirements of your specific model.
The identification plate, model number, serial number, and
electrical connection boxes are accessible from the front of the
fume hood by removing the front panel.
The Protector XStream Hood is wired for 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 20
Amp or 230Volt, 50 Hz, 10 Amp electrical service. Check the I.D.
plate behind the front panel for voltage verification. The number
of circuits varies depending on the model. All of the electrical
connections are terminated at the single point internal junction box
for hook-up by a qualified electrician. The single point internal
junction box is used for the connection of the lights, blower, and
duplex outlets. Refer to the wiring diagram for your Protector
XStream in Appendix C: Protector XStream Fume Hood
Specifications.

for Protector XStream Hoods should include
overload protection. A switch or circuit breaker
should be in close proximity to the equipment and
