Congratulations on the purchase of a Labconco Protector Evidence Drying
Cabinet. The cabinet is designed to protect you, and the room environment
from biohazardous aerosols and offensive odors while drying evidence. The
Protector Series cabinet is the result of years of experience in manufacturing
laboratory equipment, and users like you suggested many of its features to us.
The Evidence Drying cabinet models offer many unique features to enhance
performance and flexibility. To take full advantage of them, please acquaint
yourself with this manual and keep it handy for future reference. If you are
unfamiliar with how evidence drying cabinets operate, please review Chapter
4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions before you begin using the
cabinet. Even if you are an experienced cabinet user, please review Chapter
5: Using the Cabinet; it describes the cabinet’s features so that you can use it
efficiently.
This manual and other technical information is available in PDF format

Before you install the evidence drying cabinet, you need to plan the site for
installation. Examine the location where you intend to install the cabinet.
You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In
addition, a source of electrical power must be located near the installation
site.
Carefully read this chapter to learn:
• Location requirements.
• Electrical power requirements.
• Exhaust requirements.
• Service utility requirements.
• Space requirements.
• Drain requirements.
• Water Supply Requirements (Model #3410010 Only)
Refer to Appendix C: Specifications, for complete cabinet electrical and
environmental conditions, specifications and requirements.
Space Requirements
The dimensions for the evidence drying cabinet are shown in Appendix B:
Dimensions.
Clearance
A minimum clearance of at least 6 inches (150 mm) is suggested on the top
of the cabinet for service. There should be 36 inches (914 mm) clearance at
the front of the cabinet to allow the door to swing open without hitting any
obstructions.

Product Service 1-800-522-7658
Chapter 2: Prerequisites
Location Requirements
Note: The cabinet is equipped with locking casters to ease installation and
maintenance. It should be located on a flat floor for proper cabinet alignment
and door operation.
Exhaust Requirements
If you intend to connect the cabinet to the optional Exhaust Connection Kit,
first examine the location to ensure that it accommodates the cabinet’s
exhaust duct. The area directly above the cabinet’s exhaust port should be
clear of structural elements, water and utility lines, or other fixed
obstructions. There should be enough clearance to accommodate a 5-inch
diameter duct. For further information about the cabinet’s exhaust system
requirements, please refer to Appendix D: Accessories.
Electrical Requirements
The evidence drying cabinet models have the following electrical
requirements:
Model # Requirements
34000-00, -10 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 6 Amps
34000-01, 20, 03,-04 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 3 Amps
Table 2-1
Note: An outlet with a circuit breaker rated at 10 amps for 115 volt
models (5 amps for 230 volt models) should be located as close as possible
to the right rear side of the cabinet. Power cords supplied with the
Evidence Drying cabinet are 3 meters (10 feet) long.
Drain Requirements
If you intend to connect the optional drain kit, or if you have Model
#3400010, you will need to have the Evidence Drying Cabinet within 6 feet
(1.8m) of a suitable floor drain.
Note: The floor drain must be located below the level of the drain hose
exiting the cabinet for all models, even the drain pump-equipped model
#3400010. This will allow complete drainage of the system during wash
down operations. The cabinet and floor drain should be located in an
area not subject to freezing temperatures.
Water Supply Requirements (# 3410010 only)
If you intend to connect the water supply to wash down the cabinet, locate the
cabinet within 6 feet (1.8 m) of a domestic water line, equipped with a water
shut off valve ending in a 3/4–inch male garden hose connector. Water
system pressure should be 10-40 PSIG (0.7-2.8 Bar).

Now that the installation site is properly planned, you are ready to inspect
and install the Protector evidence drying cabinet. This chapter covers how to:
• Unpack and move the cabinet.
• Install the cabinet.
• Connect the electrical supply source.
Tools required for installation the cabinet include two 1/2" wrenches, a flatblade screwdriver, a #2 Phillips screwdriver, scissors, or a box knife.
Note: The cabinet weighs approximately 300 lbs. (136 kg). The shipping
pallet allows for lifting with a mechanical lift truck or floor jack. If you must
lift the product manually, use at least six (6) persons and follow safe-lifting
guidelines.
Unpacking the Cabinet
Carefully remove the outer carton and inspect the cabinet for damage that
may have occurred in transit. If the cabinet is damaged, notify the delivery
carrier immediately and retain the entire shipment intact for inspection by the
carrier.
Note: United States Interstate Commerce Commission rules require that
claims be filed with the delivery carrier within fifteen (15) days of delivery.
Do not return goods without the prior authorization of Labconco.
Unauthorized returns will not be accepted.
If the cabinet was damaged in transit, you must file a claim directly with the
freight carrier. Labconco Corporation and its dealers are not responsible for
shipping damages.

Chapter 3: Getting Started
Do not discard the carton or packing material for the cabinet until all of the
components have been checked, installed and tested.
The cabinet is secured to the pallet using four transport brackets, two on each
side. To remove the brackets, do the following:
1. Using the ½-inch wrenches, loosen and remove the bolts and locknuts
that secure the brackets to the pallet.
2. Using a ½-inch wrench, loosen and remove the nuts and bolts
securing the transport brackets to the bottom of the cabinet.
3. Discard the brackets, shipping nuts and bolts.
The cabinet is now ready to be removed from the pallet.
NOTE: A ramp has been provided attached to the wood pallet. Follow
the instructions on the face of the cabinet for safe removal.
Moving the Cabinet
When moving the cabinet on its casters, DO NOT push on the front or back
of the unit. Move the cabinet by pushing or pulling it sideways. This will
minimize the possibility of the unit overturning when in motion.

Chapter 3: Getting Started
Attaching the Cabinet to the Wall
WARNING: The evidence drying cabinet must be secured to a wall stud,
or other suitable wall structure, using the included strap and bracket.
This will minimize the possibility of the unit overturning when in use.
1. Remove the wall bracket secured to the strap, located on the back of
the unit on top.
2. Locate a stud inside the wall directly behind the cabinet’s installation
location.
NOTE: The screws provided with the wall bracket are intended to be
used when attaching the bracket to a wooden wall stud. If your wall is
made of different materials (cinder block, concrete, etc.), you will need to
attach the wall bracket to the wall using an anchor or fastener approved
for that type of construction.
3. Position the bracket, centered on the stud, with the top of the strap slot
79 inches above the floor. Mark the top of each screw hole, as shown
in Figure 3-1.
4. Using a 1/8" (3 mm) drill, drill pilot holes at both marked locations to
a depth of at least 1-½ inches (38 mm).
5. Using a #3 Phillips screwdriver, tighten both bracket screws until the
bracket is secured to the wall.
6. Thread the strap through both bracket slots, and then through both
slots located at the top corners on the rear of the cabinet.
7. Push the cabinet back into its final location, and then tighten the strap
until there is minimal slack in the strap.

Drain Options (Model #s 34000-00, thru -04)
NOTE: These models can either drain to a bucket, already located in the
lower storage area, or the bucket can be removed, and an optional Drain
Kit (#3928200) can be installed. The optional drain kit allows the cabinet
to drain to a nearby floor drain.
On units equipped with the drain bucket:
NOTE: The drain bucket had a working capacity of approximately
1.5 gallons. Periodically monitor the liquid level in the bucket during
decontamination or washdown operations.
1. Access the bucket by opening the bottom storage area door on the
front of the cabinet.
2. Before using, ensure the bucket is in its correct position under the
drain.
To install the Drain Kit (#3928200):
NOTE: The drain line should be routed to a floor drain with an air
gap only. NEVER directly connect the drain line to a sewer or drain
system, or use a stand pipe, to prevent backflow into the cabinet.
1. Remove the bucket from the lower storage area and save for possible
reuse.
2. Connect the drain hose assembly to the tail pipe of the drain (on the
bottom of the drain assembly). Push the drain assembly up onto the
stand pipe until it is fully seated.
3. Hand-tighten the compression ring of the drain assembly to the tail
pipe until it is secure.
4. Route the drain hose through the appropriate hole in the bottom rear
panel of the cabinet.
5. Route the drain hose to the floor drain and secure the end of the hose
to prevent it from moving.
6. Pour water into the cabinet drain, and inspect the entire drain system
for leaks. Tighten any leaking fittings.
