Performance
The Labconco Protector Controlled Atmosphere Glove Box provides an effective physical
barrier between the laboratory and the glove box interior. This barrier system results in three
distinct advantages. First, it helps protect the technician from hazardous materials. Secondly, it
protects valuable laboratory materials against the effects of ambient air and moisture. Finally, it
provides a protective, leak-tight environment as required for your research testing or production
procedures.
A transfer chamber enables samples, materials or equipment to be passed between the
laboratory and the glove box while maintaining an established glove box gas environment.
Environment Conditions
This equipment is designed to be safe under the following conditions:
• Indoor use
• Altitude up to 6562 Ft. (2000m)
• Temperature 41° to 104° (5° to 40°)
• Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 88°F (31°C) decreasing
linearly to 50% relative humidity at 104° (40°C)
• Mains supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed ± 10% of the nominal voltage
• Transient over voltages according to Installation Categories II (Over voltage
Categories per IEC 1010)
• Pollution degrees 2 (Normally only non-conductive foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or
surface resistively occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected), in accordance with IEC 664
