Chapter 1: Introduction Typographical Conventions Recognizing the following typographical conventions will help you understand and use this manual: ! ! Steps required to perform a task are presented in a numbered format. Comments located in the margins provide suggestions, reminders, and references. Critical information is presented in boldface type in paragraphs that are preceded by the exclamation icon.
Chapter 2: Prerequisites Before you install the enclosure, you need to prepare your site for installation. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical power should be located near the installation site to power the enclosure, and other apparatus. Additionally, the enclosure should be strategically placed in the lab to provide efficient workflow.
Chapter 2: Prerequisites Support, Vibration and Movement Requirements At a minimum, the supporting structure usually consists of a base cabinet or base stand and chemical-resistant work surface. See Chapter 3 for setting up installation. Location and Air Current Requirements The Protector Work Stations have been designed to contain hazards by negating typical cross drafts and turbulence within the opening. Normal air movement does not affect installation of the Protector Work Station.
Chapter 2: Prerequisites Labconco offers accessory remote blowers and transition adapters listed in Chapter 7. Labconco also offers accessory FilterMate Portable Exhausters listed in Chapter 7. Contact Labconco for blower sizing assistance. ! If the enclosure is connected directly to a house exhaust system, an adjustable damper (or valve) must be installed to control the airflow properly. This is equally important when a house exhaust system is controlling multiple enclosures.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Now that the site for your Protector Work Station is properly prepared, you are ready to unpack, inspect, install, and validate your system. Read this chapter to learn how to: Unpack and move the enclosure. Set up the enclosure with the proper supporting structure and work surface. Connect to an exhaust system (only applicable for remote blower). Installation of carbon filters (only applicable for integral blower exhausted to the room). Connect the electrical supply.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Unpacking the Enclosure The United States Interstate Commerce Commission rules require that claims be filed with the delivery carrier within fifteen (15) days of delivery. Carefully remove the shrink-wrap or carton on the enclosure and inspect it for damage that may have occurred in transit. If damaged, notify the delivery carrier immediately and retain the entire shipment intact for inspection by the carrier. DO NOT RETURN GOODS WITHOUT THE PRIOR AUTHORIZATION OF LABCONCO.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Work Surface Specifications The work surface should be smooth, rigid, and durable, such as a chemicalresistant epoxy resin. The surface should be non-porous and resistant to the powders, solvents and chemicals used in conjunction with the enclosure. The work surface should also contain a dished recessed area for containing primary spills. Work Surface and Enclosure Installation 1. Level the base cabinet or stand and the work surface.

Do not use any detachable power cord that is not adequately rated for the unit. Ne pas utliser un fil électrique amovible qui n’est pas du tension nominale de l’appareil.
Chapter 3: Getting Started ! NOTE: Face velocity profiles and smoke testing should be performed frequently per your organization’s quality system to ensure safe performance. Sealing the Enclosure to the Work Surface When the enclosure has been set in place it may be sealed at the work surface to prevent spilled materials from collecting under the walls. A bead of silicone sealant is recommended to seal the enclosure to the work surface.
Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions High Performance Features The patented1 Protector Work Stations are designed to meet the needs of the laboratory scientist, and provide superior containment while conserving energy at OSHA approved “low flow” velocities as low as 60 feet per minute. The enclosures have been tested to effectively contain toxic and noxious materials when properly installed and operated.

Chapter 4: High Performance Features & Safety Precautions 1. Aerodynamic Clean-Sweep™ Air Foil has a unique shape that allows air to sweep the work surface for maximum containment. The Clean-Sweep™ openings create a constant protective barrier from contaminants. Should the operator inadvertently block the airflow entering the air foil, air continues to pass under the air foil and through the Clean-Sweep openings. See Figures 4-1, 4-2 and 4-3. Figure 4-3 2.
Chapter 4: High Performance Features & Safety Precautions 3. Upper Dilution Air Supply provides bypass air from above the work area. This feature constantly bathes the inside of the sash with clean air and reduces chemical concentrations along the sash plane, near the critical breathing zone. Five to seven percent of the required air volume is introduced through the upper dilution air supply. The upper dilution air supply also reduces stagnant pockets of air in the upper interior. See Figures 4-1 and 4-2.
Chapter 4: High Performance Features & Safety Precautions 12. Speed Control (Integral Blower Models Only) regulates the speed of the motorized impeller and is used by the certifier to validate and adjust the inflow velocity. It is located behind the upper light assembly. See Figures 4-2 and Figure 3-4. 13. Space-Saving Design increases effective laboratory workspace, because the impeller and carbon filter are self-contained on integral blower models.
Chapter 4: High Performance Features & Safety Precautions 4. Blocking large portions of the rear baffle will change the airflow pattern in the enclosure causing turbulence. (Do not store containers or supplies against the rear baffle, as this will affect airflow). 5. Always work with your hands as far back into the enclosure as possible. Keep all chemicals, materials and apparatus inside the lower air foil of the enclosure. 6. Do not work in this enclosure without the exhaust system running. 7.
Chapter 4: High Performance Features & Safety Precautions 20. If the work station is to be used in a confined space, make sure the space is well ventilated and the concentration of toxic contaminants cannot accumulate greater than the TWA. 21. Proper operation of the enclosure depends largely upon the enclosure location and the operator’s work habits.
Chapter 5: Appropriate Applications for Your Enclosure Now that the installation of your enclosure is completed, you are ready to use your Protector Work Station. Read this chapter to learn about: 1. Routine Daily Work Procedures. 2. Suitable Applications. 3. Carbon Filter Applications. 4. Definition of Terms. 5. Appropriate Chemicals for Carbon Filters. 6. Hazardous Misapplications for Carbon Filters. 7. Chemical Carcinogen use with Carbon Filters. 8. Prohibited Acid Use.
Chapter 5: Appropriate Applications for Your Enclosure Loading Materials and Equipment Load only the materials required for the procedure. Do not overload the enclosure. Do not obstruct the air foil, or rear baffle slots. Large objects should not be placed close together and should be elevated above the work surface to permit airflow to sweep under the equipment. After loading, wait one minute to purge airborne contaminants from the work area.
Chapter 5: Appropriate Applications for Your Enclosure Carbon Filter Applications (sold as an accessory for Integral Blower Models) Release of low concentrations of vapors effectively adsorbed or treated in carbon based filters. Treatment of low-level carcinogens or suspected carcinogens. (See Chemical Carcinogens in Chapter 5) Procedures that may have traditionally been done on the open bench (low levels only). Odoriferous chemicals that are an unpleasant nuisance.
Chapter 5: Appropriate Applications for Your Enclosure Saturation Level or Time – There is a limit to the amount of chemical that can be adsorbed by activated carbon or neutralized by chemically-treated carbon. Once the capacity of the carbon is reached, it is considered to be saturated and will adsorb (or neutralize) no further material; the outlet concentration of the chemical will equal the inlet concentration from that point until the filter is replaced.
Chapter 5: Appropriate Applications for Your Enclosure Hazardous Misapplications for Carbon Filters with Volatile Chemicals There is one scenario where the accessory carbon filter misapplication would be a part of a hazardous condition. If the user continues to operate the enclosure with any of the following conditions present a potentially hazardous condition will exist: 1. The inlet concentration of vapors is greater than the TWA. 2. The carbon filter becomes saturated. 3.
Chapter 5: Appropriate Applications for Your Enclosure Prohibited Acid Use The Protector Work Station with Integral Blower motorized impeller cannot be exposed to acids. Where applications require the use of acids a vented fume hood, or vented enclosure should be used with a remote blower and ducted to the outside. Consult Labconco for other small enclosures suitable for acid work.
Chapter 6 Maintaining Your Enclosure Monitoring airflow and changing the carbon filters (if equipped) is the primary maintenance required. Review this chapter on maintenance for the following: 1. Routine Maintenance. 2. Speed control adjustment and setting the inflow face velocity. 3. Operating and calibrating the airflow monitors. 4. Determination of when to replace carbon filters and how to replace. 5. Calculating carbon filter life. 6. Fluorescent light replacement. 7. Motorized impeller replacement. 8.
Chapter 6: Maintaining Your Enclosure Monthly (or more often as required) Determine the actual face velocity through the sash opening of the enclosure where the average reading should be at the specified velocity. (Use calibrated thermal anemometer or other approved apparatus). Airflow alarms are recommended for constant monitoring. The enclosure rear baffle should be checked for any blockage to ensure that the enclosure is maintaining proper airflow. All weekly activities.

Chapter 6: Maintaining Your Enclosure Determination of When to Replace Carbon Filters and How to Replace Both carbon filters MUST be replaced when any one of the following two conditions are met: 1. The filtered enclosure outlet (exhaust) concentration approaches the inlet concentration, indicating filter saturation. 2. The odor in the work area becomes intolerable or the concentration of the chemical in the work area is greater than the TWA.
Chapter 6: Maintaining Your Enclosure Time - For applications that have very consistent inlet concentrations and operating time, “Time” can be used to anticipate saturation or TWA levels based on prior experience. However, this does not replace the need for sampling. Consult Labconco technical specialist for an estimate of carbon filter life based on chemical usage. Detector tubes, or analytical instrumentation should always be used to determine concentrations in the carbon filter.
