Instructions & User’s Manual
General
By choosing Captair ductless ltration fume hoods, you have chosen an ecient and responsible way to ensure safety.
Erlab’s 50 years of expertise in the eld of laboratory fume hoods provide unparalleled ltration quality to ensure your users are properly
protected when handling chemicals in the laboratory. The new Captair range uses an innovative and straightforward mode of communication
called Smart technology. This powerful interface uses light to intuitively and effortlessly communicate with users and leave them free to focus
all their attention on the main task: handling the chemicals.
Your ductless Captair ltration fume hood guarantees that you are protected when working with chemicals that pose an inhalation risk. The
Erlab ltration technology it employs traps hazardous particles and molecules and returns clean air back into the laboratory.
The system’s connectivity allows for real-time safety alerts and individual device usage reports to be sent via the eGuard.
Safety notices
The effectiveness of your device is directly dependent upon it being used correctly and monitored by its users. Your laboratory may also benet
from ergonomic, economic and ecological advantages provided by the Captair Smart fume hood throughout its life cycle.
The E.S.P. program (Erlab Safety Program) was set up to guarantee your safety. We would remind you that it is important to have the safety
parameters validated before using the device for the rst time and whenever it is used for a different application.
The handling of substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMRs) underneath a fume hood is covered
by the French Labour Code. The code notably species that an in-depth risk analysis must be carried out prior to any CMRs being handled
under a recirculating fume hood.
The equipment provided is not intended to be used in an explosive atmosphere.
The lters delivered with this device must be removed from their packaging and positioned correctly; they must also be
suitable for the type of chemicals being handled in order to guarantee user safety.
Erlab recommends that lter breakthrough tests are regularly carried out.
Erlab recommends that the electronic anemometer is calibrated at least once a year.
The quantities of the chemicals handled in the enclosure should not be greater than those listed in the guide to approved
chemicals (the Chemical Listing).
AFNOR standard NF X 15-211: 2009 only applies to chemicals subject to an OEL.
Pursuant to the NF X 15-211 standard, only operations that can immediately be stopped are allowed to be carried out in a Class 2
enclosure. Moreover, the fume hood’s lter must be replaced if any chemicals are detected downstream of the lter.
New lters must be stored in their packaging, kept in a dry location and laid flat. (see recommendations for storing and using the lters).
Erlab recommends keeping a logbook which is specic to the device and shows the chemical agents handled, how often they are used and the
maintenance operations carried out on it.

Power up the UV lamp* using the switch located on the control panel.
The UV lamp can exclusively be activated when the front door is closed.
The UV timer decontamination cycle can be runned from 0 to 30 minutes.
* UV lamp : At 5,000 hours, it will have lost 15% / At 8,000 hours, it needs to be replaced.

Cleaning and maintenance
Mechanical item checks
Hinges:
Hinges must be properly attached and must allow any items on the front side of the workstation to be instantly and easily lifted
upward.
Acrylic Parts:
Ensure the transparency of the panels is a part of regular maintenance for the enclosure.
- Cleaning the enclosure
The enclosure must be cleaned on a regular basis.
This may be accomplished in several ways:
- With soapy water followed by rinsing with clear water and drying with a soft, non-abrasive absorbent paper towel.
- Or with a commercial pH neutral neutralizing product followed by drying with a soft, non-abrasive, absorbent paper towel..
- or with a non-alcoholic disinfectant detergent.
Coated Metal Parts:
- These must be inspected and free from any traces of corrosion.
- Check that there is no stagnant water in the spill tray.
- Clean the spill tray if necessary.

The Erlab Research and Development laboratory
About Erlab
Since 1968, Erlab has been a specialist, inventor and world leader in ductless, zero-emission ltering fume hoods for laboratories
to provide total safety in chemical handling.
Erlab ltration
1
We provide technologies to protect laboratory staff from inhaling chemicals. This is made possible thanks to our Research and Development
(R&D) department, which has continuously improved our ltration technology for more than 50 years. That’s why, in 2009, we invented the
ERLAB ABOVE label for tried and tested ltration technology.
The AFNOR NF X 15-211: 2009 standard
2
Erlab’s ltration technology conforms to the NF X 15-211: 2009 standard, the industry’s most demanding standard for molecular ltration,
developed by a committee of independent scientists and specialized manufacturers.
This text imposes performance criteria linked to:
• Filtration efciency
• Containment efciency
• Air face velocity
• Documentation: chemical listing
The ESP programme
3
A set of three services included with the purchase of each device designed to ensure your safety.
Risk analysis – Determination of protection needs – Determination of ergonomic needs.
Certied installation – Total safety for handling.
Ongoing monitoring – Preventative and maintenance inspections – Device reconguration based on
protection needs – Development of handling.
Flex technology
4
The combination of molecular and particulate ltration technologies allows a single device to meet laboratories’ protection needs. This
innovation from Erlab’s R&D department offers unprecedented exibility, versatility and value. A single device can be recongured over time
and easily reassigned to other applications.
Smart technology
5
Smart technology is a simple and innovative means of communication that improves safety. This technology uses a light and sound signal
to indicate the user’s level of protection. The advantages of the technology are:
1/ Light pulsation: Real-time communication via LED light pulses intuitively alerts the user to the device’s operating
status.
2/ Simplicity: One-touch activation.
3/ Detection system: The exclusive detection system continuously monitors ltration performance.
4/ Built-in monitoring: This service provides direct access to the status, settings and history of your device.
