Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco ScrubAir™ Pipette Washer/Dryer. The ScrubAir Pipette Washer/Dryer uses water and compressed air to wash, rinse and dry volumetric pipettes ranging in size from .135” (3.4 mm) stem diameter and 7.5” (190.5 mm) long up to .34” (8.6 mm) stem diameter and 25” (635mm) long. The ScrubAir is available in 115V or 230V models with and without a 750 watt heater which can heat the water and dry air up to 140°F (60°C). The heated models also come with an additional water inlet valve for pure water connections if pure water rinsing is desired.
The Pipette Washer/Dryer graphic display shows operational information during set up and displays of the cycle segment and time remaining during the wash cycle. The transparent acrylic cover allows you to visually monitor the operation of your washer. You can select pre-programmed wash cycles or program customized wash cycles to meet your requirements.

Before you install the Pipette Washer/Dryer, prepare your site for installation. Carefully examine the location where you intend to install the Pipette Washer/Dryer. Be sure the area is level and of solid construction. In addition a water source, a drain, electrical and compressed air sources must be located near the installation site. Refer to Appendix C:ScrubAirPipette Washer/Dryer Specifications for complete Pipette Washer/Dryer electrical and environmental conditions, specifications and requirements. The ScrubAir Pipette Washer/Dryer is equipped with a single water supply/drain hose quick connector that can easily be attached to your sink faucet. If preferred, the ScrubAir Pipette Washer/Dryer can be installed using dedicated water supply and drain piping.
CAUTION: If the unit is not operated as specified in this manual it may impair the protection provided by the unit.
PRUDENCE: Si l'unité n'est pas utilisée comme spécifié dans ce manuel il peut diminuer la protection fournie par l'unité.
Water Requirements
The water supply for non-heated models can be tap or purified water. An existing hot water supply may be used as the water source. Though not required, Labconco recommends the inlet water temperature be greater than 120°F (49°C). Hotter water will produce better washing results but should not exceed 140°F (60°C).
The heated models have and additional water inlet valve to allow for connection to a purified water source. A 3/8" (9.6 mm) O.D. x 6’ (1.8m) long polyethylene tube is attached to the rear of the ScrubAir Pipette Washer/Dryer (marked “P”) for connection to a dedicated pure water source. This tube can be shortened as required, a shut off valve is recommended.

INTERNAL THREADED FAUCET
AERATOR ADAPTER (SUPPLIED)
The heated models do not require a heated water source for the tap or the pure water but using heated water will allow the washer to reach the 140°F (60°C) wash temperature faster.
Water pressure for both tap and pure water must be between 8-120 psi (55-827 kPa) at the washer and provide a minimum of 1.33 gallons (5.0 liters) per minute flow rate.
By using the factory- installed quick connect hose coupling, the tap water/drain hoses can easily be connected or disconnected to a sink faucet. If using the quick connect hose coupling, a sink with a drain and threaded faucet is required. See the illustration that follows. Since the quick connect hose assembly length is 6’ (1.8m) the installation should be within this distance to the faucet.
If a dedicated tap water supply is preferred a shut-off valve should be installed in the water supply line plumbed for the washer.
Electrical Requirements
Minimum requirements for an outlet is a 15 Amp circuit breaker or fuse for models rated at 115V (60 Hz) or an 8 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for 230V (50/60 Hz) models. The 115V models are equipped with a 15 Amp NEMA 5-15P plug. 230V models are available with a NEMA 6-15P plug for use in the United States, a PS 1363 plug for use in the United Kingdom, a CEE 7/7 plug for use in Europe, a CHI-10P plug for use in China or a SANS164-1 plug for use in India. It may be necessary to remove the plug and install a different one to match the available receptacle if one of these models does not meet your needs.
Drain Requirements
The Washer/Dryer is designed to use air pressure to drain the washer. If using the quick connect hose coupling, a sink with a drain and threaded faucet is required. Since the quick connect hose assembly length is 6’ (1.8m) long the installation should be within this distance to the faucet.

Chapter 2: Prerequisites

DRAIN HOSE REQUIRES AIR GAP AS SHOWN. CUT HOSE TO LENGTH, INSERT INTO STANDPIPE APPROX. 6" (15 cm) AND SECURE
DRAIN STAND PIPE
When using the quick connect hose coupling the washer base should be no more than 12” (30.4 cm) below the outlet of your faucet.
If a dedicated drain is preferred, a standpipe should be connected to the building drain plumbing that the drain hose can be insert into. See illustration that follows.
It is recommended that the drain hose and drain hose outlet be routed as low as possible relative to the base of the washer, to allow gravity to assist in draining the washer. Low spots where water can sump in the drain line should also be avoided. If the drain hose must be higher, no section should be more than 11” (27.9 cm) above the base of the washer.
Tubing or pipe, 1.25 (3.2 cm) ID or larger, should be provided for the building drain. The use of an air gap (as shown above) where the drain hose is connected to the building drain plumbing is required.
Do not reduce the size of the drain plumbing.

Compressed Air/Inert Gas Requirements
The 3/8" (9.6 mm) O.D. x 6’ (1.8m) long polyethylene tube on the rear of the ScrubAir Pipette Washer/Dryer should be attached to a regulated source of air, or other suitable inert gas. This tube can be shortened as required. Pressure must be at least 20 psi (138kPa) and a minimum flow rate of 5 cfm (142 l/m). The pressure must not exceed 100 psi (689kPa). A suitable push-to-connect or compression fitting must be supplied by the user. An air shut off valve or quick disconnect air fitting is recommended. An optional 5 micron Air Filter part number 4614900 is available to help filter incoming air if needed.
Space Requirements
Refer to Appendix B: ScrubAir Pipette Washer/Dryer Dimensions for dimensional drawings of the ScrubAir Pipette Washer/Dryer.
