Start up
Calibrating the electronic anemometer
Open the sash of the workstation to perform calibration.
1- Press and hold the mute button located on the front of the control panel while simultaneously switching on the main power
button located behind the control panel (Off = O, On=I)
2- Release the mute button. A beep indicates that the unit has started the calibration mode. The white bar above the front of
the control panel will pulse for 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Stick with just the instructions for the anemometer.
3- Once the pulsing light stops, the anemometer is calibrated and the unit is ready to be turned on.
4- To operate, push the power button located on the front control panel.
Good practices :
• Avoid any air turbulence in the area during calibration.
• Anemometer should be calibrated every year and every time a modication is done on the ltration column.
We also recommend verifying the operating parameters before each new use.
To modify settings, please access the administrator interface.
Having carefully followed the steps described in the installation guide, your Captair Bio Smart ductless ltering PCR
workstation is now ready to use.

Replacing the filters
Your device is equipped with FLEX™ lter technology that was congured to the user’s protection needs when the device
was purchased. The conguration of the lter column is dependent on the applications carried out in the enclosure. These
applications may change over time. Your FLEX™ lter technology can therefore be recongured if your workstation is used
for applications other than those anticipated when the device is rst set up. If so, please contact us so that we can verify that
the current conguration is safe or it needs to be recongured.
The table below summarises all possible Flex™ lter technology congurations for your device

Recommendations for storing and using the filters
New lter shelf life and storage conditions:
New activated carbon molecular lters must be stored at in their original packaging at a temperature of between +10°C / 50°
F and +50°C / 120° F and a humidity level < 85% RH.
HEPA H14 and/or ULPA lters must be stored upright and kept dry.
If these conditions are adhered to, the maximum time a lter can be stored before use depends on the type of carbon used:
AS type carbon molecular lter 1 year from the date of delivery
HEPA/ULPA Filter 2 years from the date of delivery
If the maximum shelf life is reached, we recommend to not install lters.
We recommend replacing the lter annually (if used 24/7).
• Prelters(s) should be replaced every year.
• HEPA/ULPA lters should be replaced every 3 years on average.
• Molecular lter should be replaced every 2 years on average.
Replacement frequency of filtration breakthrough sensor,
Molecode option
Molecular lters saturation detector – Molecode S (solvents) is installed as an option in your unit and use a semi-conductor that
must be changed every 5 years.
After this period, Erlab cannot guarantee performances stability nor detection sensitivity.
Equipment replacement requires the intervention of a qualied engineer, able to replace internal components and perform
system new conguration. The change requires less than one hour.
Erlab Maintenance department and accredited partners can provide this service. (service not available in all countries).
