If An Airflow Alert Activates
The most common causes of an airflow alert are:
• Blockage of the inlet grilles or exhaust outlet.
• Removal of the work surface or grille during operation.
Note: If the alarm sounds during use, immediately take appropriate action to
prevent contamination to you and other personnel in the area.
Resetting the Airflow Alert System
The Airflow Alert will automatically reset to normal operation once the
motor speed has stabilized.
Working In the Procedure Station

• Thoroughly understand procedures and equipment required before
beginning work.
• Arrange for minimal disruptions, such as room traffic or entry into the
room while the cabinet is in use.
Start-up

• Slowly raise the sash until the bottom of the sash aligns with the sash
indicator decal located on the left side of the work area.
• Turn on fluorescent light and cabinet blower if the SmartStart features
have not been activated.
• Check the air grilles for obstructions, and note the filter gauge
reading.
• Allow the cabinet to operate unobstructed for 5 minutes.
