Sash Weight Release To protect the fume hood from damage in shipment, the sash weight has been secured to the back of the fume hood with screws. Simply remove the screws and make sure the sash cables or chains are on the pulleys or sprockets before operation of the sash. On models with more than one sash, the sash weights have been secured to the shipping skid with lag screws. Remove the weights from the skid and attach them to the respective sash cables using the hooks provided.

NOTE: THE SASH WEIGHT ITSELF WAS INDIVIDUALLY

MATCHED FOR THIS SPECIFIC HOOD AND SHOULD NOT

BE EXCHANGED ON ANY OTHER UNIT.

Installing the Hood on a Supporting Structure and Work Surface

The Protector Hood is heavy! Use caution when lifting or moving the unit.

La Hotte Protecteur est lourd ! Prudence en soulevant ou en déplaçant l'objet.

When installing the Protector Hood onto a chemically-resistant work surface or benchtop, ensure that the structure can safely support the combined weight of the fume hood and any related equipment. The 30" work surface should be at least as wide as the hood to properly support it. The work surface is aligned flush with the back of the fume hood for good airflow: this will provide the correct spacing under the air foil for proper bypass airflow. The lower base cabinets are placed flush with the front of the work surface as shown in Figure 3-1.

WARNING: It is important to support the rear of the work surface and fume hood. The cross support provides support for the bottom of the work surface. Install the cross support after the base cabinets and work surface are leveled and before installing the hood.

AVERTISSEMENT : Il est important de soutenir l'arrière de la surface de travail et la hotte aspirante. Le support tranversal soutient le bas de la surface de travail. Installer le support transversal après que les meubles et la surface de travail soient nivelés et avant d'installer la hotte.

Product Service 1-800-522-7658 12

The following are instructions for mounting a cross support:

1. Level the base cabinets and the work surface. Work surface should be placed flush with the back of the fume hood as shown in Figure 3-1.

2. Scribe a line on the wall or back of the base cabinet to locate the support under the work surface.

3. Mount the support by attaching it to the wall or base cabinet.

4. Place the hood on top of the work surface and cross support.

The work surface should be smooth and durable, such as a chemically-resistant epoxy resin. The surface should be nonporous and resistant to the acids, solvents, and chemicals used in conjunction with the Protector Fume Hood. The work surface should also contain a dished recessed area for containing primary spills.

Connecting to the Hood Exhaust System

WARNING: The weight of the exhaust ductwork system must be supported independently of the hood superstructure. Do not allow this weight to be supported by the hood structure as damage to the hood may occur.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le poids du système d'aspiration de ductwork doit être soutenu d'une manière indépendante de la superstructure de la hotte. Au cas où ce poids est supporté par la structure de la hotte, des dommages à la hotte peuvent arriver.

The exhaust connection should be installed by a qualified

HVAC contractor. The exhaust connection on your hood has been designed for 12" nominal pipe (12.75" OD) to allow for minimum static pressure loss with proper transport velocities away from the hood. Consult Labconco Customer Service should you require help sizing your blower for the exhaust volume and total system static pressure loss.

La connexion d'échappement devrait être installée par un professionnel de CVC agrée. La connexion d'aspiration sur votre hotte a été conçue pour un tuyau nominal de 12 pouces

(12,75 pouces de diamètre externe) afin d’avoir une perte minimale de pression statique avec les correctes flux de transport loin de la hotte. Consulter le Service Clientèle de

Labconco si la calibration de votre soufflerie pour le volume d'aspiration et la perte de pression statique du système le requiert.

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 Premier Hood is normally wired for 115 Volt, 50/60 Hz, 20 Amp or

230Volt, 50/60 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 field wiring terminal box for hook-up by a qualified electrician. We recommend each circuit be a dedicated branch circuit. However, if wired together the maximum load allowed is the sum of individual outlets plus the rating of the unit (i.e. 2 Amps remote, 8 Amps integral blower) not to exceed the 10A or 20A electrical service.

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

Premier in Appendix C: Protector Premier Specifications.

The fume hood is required to be grounded to the MAINS protective earthing ground for safe operation. Using a ring terminal sized for a 10-24 machine screw, connect the MAINS ground conductor to the grounding lug marked with the protective earthing symbol, . Only MAINS ground conductors should be connected to the protective earthing ground lug, no other conductors should be connected to this grounding lug. Using wire nuts connect the MAINS supply conductors to the fume hood supply wires. Insure that the wires are connected as per the appropriate wire color codes for the input voltage. For 115V Phase (Hot) is black and Neutral is white, for 230V Phase1 is brown and Phase2 is blue. Refer to the wiring diagram for your Protector Premier in Appendix C: Protector Premier Specifications.

Sealing the Protector Hood to the Work Surface

When the hood has been set in place, ducted, wired, and plumbed, it should be sealed at the work surface to prevent spilled materials from collecting under the walls of the hood. Materials such as silicone sealants are recommended to seal the hood structure.

Certifying the Protector Fume Hood

The combination of your laboratory hood, exhaust ductwork, and exhaust blower gives you the flexibility to change the airflow at the sash opening of your hood.

To determine the actual face velocity at the sash opening, airflow velocity readings will need to be taken. This should be done across the sash opening of the hood in accordance with the Industrial Ventilation Manual section on laboratory hoods (see Appendix E: References). Labconco recommends an average face velocity at the sash opening of 60 to 100 feet per minute. Consult

Chapter 2 for proper airflow volumes for your particular model.

Your Protector Fume Hood has been tested at the factory per ASHRAE 110-1995.

All hoods achieve an “as manufactured rating” of less than 0.05 part per million

(ppm) at 4 liters per minute (lpm); AM<0.05 (consult Labconco for individual fume hood ratings). For “field use” ASHRAE testing contact Labconco Sales

Engineering Team or Customer Service for a certified on-site contractor.

NOTE: Face velocity profiles and smoke testing should be done periodically to ensure safe performance.

NOTE : Les profils de flux frontal et les tests de fumée devraient être régulièrement faits pour garantir une utilisation en toute securité.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Performance Features:

The Protector Premier Laboratory Hood is designed to meet the needs of the laboratory scientist at OSHA approved velocities as low as 60 feet per minute.

The laboratory fume hood has been designed to effectively contain toxic, noxious, or other harmful materials when properly installed. A fully featured by-pass hood with baffle and air foil, this hood maintains safe airflow. Optional energy saving

A-Style Combination Sash models are also available. The hood features by-pass airflow design that promotes full containment as the sash is moved. Airflow is diverted behind the front panel and under the air foil to help control fluctuations in face velocity, which occur as the sash is closed.

1. Unique sash provides maximum visibility of 37.5" high while conserving energy by limiting sash travel to 28". Vertical-rising sash may be raised from a closed to 28" operating height. The fume hood features a containment-enhancing sash handle. Optional sash stops are available to limit sash height and reduce energy usage.

2. By-pass airflow design ensures containment as the sash moves.

3. Large usable interior work depth and interior height of 48" provides ample working space.

4. Baffle (not shown) directs airflow to the rear of the interior to provide efficient airflow. The baffle may be removed for cleaning purposes only.

5. Exterior access cover plates are removable for easy access to plumbing valves and sash adjustment hardware when access through the sides is not available.

CHAPTER 5

USING YOUR PROTECTOR

PREMIER

Operating the Vertical-Rising Sash

Because of the Protector Hood counterbalanced sash mechanism, it will take only a few pounds of force to move the sash up or down, and you can operate the sash smoothly with one or two hands positioned any where along the handle. The vertical-rising sash may be raised to a maximum 28" operating height. The airflow requirements should be sized for the 28" operating height; if using sash stops then the airflow requirements can be reduced by approximately 40% at 18".

See Chapter 2 for airflows. Optional models with auto-return to 18" or electric

Intelli-Sash are available.

Operating the A-Style Combination Sash Some other hood models have additional energy saving sashes called A-Style

Combination Sashes in place of vertical-rising sashes. These combination sashes allow the operator to use the hood with sashes either half open horizontally or vertically to conserve energy. The horizontal sashes are used in normal operating mode. Optional sets of sash stops can be installed to prevent raising the vertical sash above the half-open and fully-closed positions unless manually defeated by the operator. The airflow requirements are sized for the 50% open sash condition.

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.
