General Description
Halo safely captures chemicals of the ambient air before recirculating clean air back into the laboratory.
Easily mounted into the ceiling, HALO is totally independent of the building ventilation system.
Utilizing the power of Erlab’s advanced carbon ltration technology, Halo retains a broad range of noxious chemical vapors
while simultaneously improving the air quality of the lab.
The exclusive sensor technology continuously evaluates the laboratory air quality and can be set according to the laboratory
pollution (please check Halo’s operating mode on page 17 and sensor settings on page 19 to determine the best use for
your laboratory).
When Halo senses contaminants, the soft LED lights will pulse to let you know that the air is being cleaned.
The usage and the management of each unit is possible via an embedded webportal from a smartphone, tablet or computer.
Safety notices
The effectiveness of this device is directly dependent upon correct use and monitoring.
The equipment provided is not intended to be used in an explosive atmosphere.

Halo operation modes
Mode : 24/7
Halo is running 24/7
Mode : Min Max detection
This mode denes a min. and max. fan power
During normal operation, the fan speed is dened by the value entered into the Min. setting. The Halo reaches its
maximum fan speed if the sensor detects a pollution in the ambient air (the treshold value of the sensor has been
reached).
Mode : Detection value only
The ventilation is unactive.The fan automatically turns on its maximum if the sensor reaches its treshold value
dened in the settings
Mode : Day / Night
This operating mode sets the fan to run during: Day (8am - 8pm) or night (8pm - 8am)
Minimum Setpoint: Min. fan speed of the Min Max Detection operating mode
Maximum Setpoint: Max. fan speed for the Min. Max Detection and the Unique Detection operating modes
Unique Setpoint: fan speedt of the 24/7 operating mode
Day Setpoint: fan speed of the Day for the Day/Night operating mode
Night Setpoint: fan speed of the Night for the Day/Night operating mode

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.
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 2 years from the date of delivery
- BE+ type carbon molecular lter 2 years from the date of delivery
- BE type carbon molecular lter 1 year from the date of delivery
- F type carbon molecular lter 1 year from the date of delivery
- K type carbon molecular lter 1 year from the date of delivery
If the maximum shelf life is reached, we recommend to not install lters.
Predicted service life of a lter once put into use:
The service life of a molecular lter depends on lab air quality as well as the conditions of the environment in which it is used.
We recommend replacing the lter annually (if used 24/7).
Failing that and/or in the absence of information regarding device usage:
ERLAB is unable to provide any guidance as to the predicted service life of the lter(s).
In such cases, we strongly recommend:
• That the molecular lters are replaced at least every 12 months and that a regular lter saturation checking protocol is put
in place (please contact us for individual advice on this subject)

Erlab R&D Laboratory
The engineers and chemists in our state-of-the-art R&D laboratory understand molecular ltration. We are committed to
designing products that are safe and of the highest quality, strive to improve our products, and continuously develop new
products that provide greater protection in the laboratory.
2
Strict Safety Standards
We hold ourselves to the highest standard and adhere to the strict AFNOR NF X 15-211: 2009 ltration safety standard
as endorsed by ANSI Z9.5-2012.
3
A Published Chemical Listing
It all begins here. Without this listing, we are not compliant with AFNOR NFX 15-211. Our in-house laboratory tests, as well
as independent testing to verify the retention capacity of over 700 chemicals for our lters.
4
Independent Testing
Erlab lters have been independently tested multiple times at various concentrations guaranteeing that our safety
solutions all adhere to the strict performance criteria of the AFNOR NF X 15-211:2009 standard assuring that the emission
concentration at the lter exhaust will always be lower than 1% of the TLV.
5
Application Questionnaire (Valiquest)
Our laboratory specialists will recommend the appropriate ltration fume hood, type of lter, and personalized advice.
6
Certicate of Validation for the chemicals used in the hood
A certied PhD chemist issues a Certicate of Validation with a list of the chemicals approved for use in the hood.
7
Our Safety Program
We back up our products 100%. This program includes your specialized chemical evaluation, validation of your hood
upon installation, and a ltration safety specialist at your service to ensure that your hood is operating to its full potential.
We provide safety, we protect your health
Erlab invented the ductless fume hood in 1968. With more than 45 years of experience in the eld of chemical ltration and
protection of laboratory personnel; we know the formula for safety. With Erlab, you will never have to wonder or worry if our
products are safe. We build each one of the following 7 ingredients into our products, and without all of them, your health
