RREERREEQQUUIISSIITTEESS

Before you install your laboratory fume hood, you need to prepare your site for installation. Carefully examine the location where you intend to install your hood. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical power must be located near the installation site.

Carefully read this chapter to learn:

• The location requirements for your installation site.

• The support requirements for your installation site.

• The exhaust requirements for your installation site.

• The electrical power requirements for your installation site.

• The service line requirements for your installation site.

• The space requirements for your installation site.

Refer to Appendix B: Protector ClassMate Dimensions for complete fume hood dimensions.

Refer to Appendix C: Protector ClassMate Specifications for complete laboratory fume hood electrical and environmental conditions, specifications and requirements.

Product Service 1-800-522-7658

Chapter 2: Prerequisites

Location Requirements

The Fume Hood should be located

away from traffic patterns, doors, fans, ventilation registers, and any other air-handling device that could disrupt its airflow patterns. All windows in the room should be closed.

Support Requirements

DO NOT locate the fume hood on a

cart, dolly, or mobile bench. ALL Protector ClassMate installations must be permanent and stationary. The supporting structure usually consists of a base cabinet and chemically resistant work surface. See

Appendix D: Protector ClassMate Accessories.

Exhaust Requirements

The exhaust duct connection has been designed for 8" nominal pipe (8.625" O.D.) to allow for minimum static pressure loss while operating at 100 fpm face velocities. The 8" exhaust duct also allows for proper transport velocities away from the hood in the 1000 fpm to 2500 fpm range. It is acceptable to combine the air from two hoods with a transition coupling that would basically have two 8" nominal exhaust inlets and one 12" (12.00" O.D.) nominal exhaust outlet. See Appendix D Protector ClassMate Accessories for transition coupling. The proper exhaust volume and static pressure loss are listed next for each hood model:

Chapter 3: Getting Started

The exhaust connection on your hood has been designed for 8" nominal pipe (8.62" O.D.) to allow for minimum static pressure loss with proper transport velocities away from the hood. It is acceptable to combine the air from two back to back hoods with a 12" x 8" x 8" dual exhaust adapter that would basically have two 8" nominal exhaust inlets and one 12" (12.00" O.D.) nominal exhaust outlet. See Appendix D: Protector ClassMate Accessories for dual exhaust adapter. Refer to exhaust requirements in Chapter 3 Fume Hood Components on exhaust volumes for your model to properly size the blower. Consult Labconco Sales Engineering Team should you require help sizing your blower for the exhaust volume and total system static pressure loss.

Connecting the Electrical Supply Source to the Protector ClassMate Fume Hood

Prior to connecting any electrical wiring to the fume hood structure, refer to the hood identification plate for the proper electrical characteristics of your specific model.

WARNING: The building electrical supply system for Protector ClassMate Hoods should include overload protection. A switch or circuit breaker should be in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator. The switch or circuit breaker is to be marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment.

The hoods with service fixtures have been fully plumbed for up to four valves on the hood for your installation convenience. Supply tubing shall be provided by the qualified contractor. Tubing is to extend through the work surface to make connections to the individual supply lines in your facility.

On standard models three of the fixtures are preplumbed using 1/4" copper tubing between the valve, and hose connector. The upper right hand position fixture is pre-plumbed using ¼" brass tubing between the valve, and hose connector for use with natural gas.

Product Service 1-800-522-7658

Chapter 3: Getting Started

To install the supply tubing, follow these steps:

1. Remove the valve service plate and outlet fitting access covers by loosening their individual screws. The valve body and service areas will now be fully exposed.

Figure 3-8

2. Ensure that the tubing is ¼ inch outside diameter, soft metal, and that the end has been deburred completely. (See Appendix D Service Fixture Accessories to order 5.5' of supply tubing 48899-00 or 49211-00 gas).

3. Route the tubing from under the fume hood through the slot in the work surface.

en fixture information.

WARNING: Contact Labconco Corporation directly before using any service other than those listed above in these valves to assure full compatibility.

CAUTION: Natural gas should be used only in the service fixture that has been pre-plumbed with brass tubing. Sulfur content of the gas could cause deterioration of standard copper supply lines.

Sealing the Protector ClassMate Hood

When the hood has been set in place, ducted, wired, and plumbed, it should be sealed at the work surface. The sealing of the hood structure to the work surface will prevent spilled materials from collecting under the

Product Service 1-800-522-7658

walls of the hoods. Materials such as silicone sealants may be used to seal the hood structure.

Certifying the Protector ClassMate Fume Hood

The combination of your laboratory hood, exhaust ductwork, and exhaust blower enables you flexibility to change the airflow generated across the sash opening on the hood. To determine the actual face velocity through the sash opening, airflow velocity readings will need to be taken. This should be done across the sash opening of the hood in accordance with the Industrial Ventilation Manual section on laboratory hoods. Labconco recommends an average face velocity through the reduced hood opening of 60 to 100 feet per minute. Reference airflow’s for your particular model in Chapter 3 Fume Hood Components.

Theory of Operation:

The Protector® ClassMate Laboratory Hood is designed to meet the needs of the science instructor. Clear back and sides and taller front viewing window provide enhanced visibility for the instructor conducting chemistry demonstrations or observing students using the hood. The ergonomic inclined front promotes additional visibility into the laboratory. The clear back also does not obstruct visibility when hoods are placed back-to-back in an island configuration. A fully featured by-pass hood with baffle and airfoil, this hood maintains safe airflow while sash opening restriction conserves energy. The Protector ClassMate Hood is offered in 4', 5', and 6' widths. Additional energy saving AStyle Combination Sash models are also available. The hood features by-pass airflow design that allows the hood face velocity to remain relatively stable as the sash is closed. Airflow is diverted

behind the front and under the airfoil to help control fluctuations in face velocity, which occur as the sash is closed.

The major components in Protector ClassMate Laboratory Hoods are outlined as follows and in Figure 4-1, and Figure 4-1A:

1. Clear, tempered safety glass sides, back and

baffle provide maximum visibility. All glass components except sashes are removable for cleaning. Visibility up to 45" on sides and back.

2. Unique sash provides maximum visibility of

39" high while conserving energy. Verticalrising sash may be raised from a closed to 18" operating height. Exhaust volume, and blower sizing is based on the 18" height. For loading and cleaning, the sash raise up above the sash stop.

3. Anti-racking shaft provides smooth vertical

sash movements.

4. By-pass airflow design ensures relatively stable

face velocities.

5. Large usable interior work depth of 26" and

interior height of 48" provide ample working space.

6. Baffle directs airflow to the rear of the interior

to provide efficient airflow. The baffle may be removed or pivoted down for cleaning purposes only.

7. Tissue Screen located directly below the

exhaust outlet prevents debris from potentially damaging the remote blower.

8. Interior cover plates are removable for easy

access to plumbing.

9. Lift-away front panel provides easy access to

electrical wiring, sash weights, and lighting fixtures.

10. Energy efficient fluorescent lighting is located

behind a tempered safety glass shield mounted to the top of the hood interior. The factory

Chapter 4: Theory of Operation and Safety Precautions

wired light is serviceable from outside the hood cavity.

11. Low mounted, factory wired light and blower switches are ADA compliant.

12. Ergonomic airfoil allows air to sweep work surface for maximum containment and provide a Patented Clean Sweep™ on the upper surface to provide maximum containment.

13. Low profile trough below airfoil contains spills. The trough is the same depth as the work surface (1.25") and requires no cabinet overhang.

14. Streamlined corner posts provide maximum visibility.

15. All hoods are factory prepared for up to 8 service fixtures (four controlled from the front of the hood and four from the base cabinet). Four service fixtures are factory installed on fixtured models. ADA compliant fixtures are fully plumbed with copper tubing. The upper right fixture is brass for gas service. Because the fixtures are remotely controlled, they can be used regardless of sash position.

16. Duplex electrical receptacles are mounted on the right and left fixture panels on fixtured models to allow convenient and safe connections. Receptacles are factory wired to hood junction boxes.

17. Shipped fully assembled and eliminates the need for costly onsite assembly.

18. Accessory Guardian™ Digital Airflow Monitor continuously monitors face velocity. An audio/visual alarm alerts the user to low airflow conditions. The front panel can be factory prepared to accommodate the Guardian Digital Airflow Monitor (sold separately).

19. Energy Reducing A-Style Combination Sash Models. See Figure 4-1A. Clear static viewing panel above the sash frame has a 39" viewing height permitting the hood to be mounted in a low or high position to accommodate persons of

different heights and still maintain the same visual accessibility. The 4' hoods have a single vertical rising sash; 5' and 6' hoods have combination horizontal sliding/vertical rising sashes. These combination sashes allow the operator to use the hood with sashes either half open vertically or horizontally to conserve energy. Two sets of integral sash stops prevent raising the vertical sash above the half-open and fully closed positions unless manually defeated by the operator.

20. Epoxy coated steel sash enclosure located behind the front panel prevents laboratory exposure to contaminated interior sash surfaces for energy saving A-Style models only.

21. Frame of epoxy coated steel and aluminum is durable and corrosion resistant.

22. Exhaust Connection. The hood features 8" (8.62" O.D. pipe) molded exhaust connections sized to allow for a minimum static pressure loss through the hood structure while providing a good transport velocity through the exhaust system. Dual exhaust Adapter is sold separately.

23. Accessory solid Epoxy Work Surface is dished to contain spills. Work surface is sold separately.

BLOCKS ARE LEVEL AND SET IN PLACE.

Blocking the bottom of the baffle

)

at rear of hood will change the airflow pattern in the hood causing turbulence and possible leakage at the face of the hood. (Don’t store containers or supplies against baffles, as this will affect airflow through the hood).

Avoid placing head inside hood. Keep hands out of hood as much as possible.

Always work as far back in hood as possible. It is best to keep all chemicals and apparatus 6" inside the front of the hood.

This hood has not been built with explosion proof components. Therefore, use of flammable or explosive materials in quantities above the explosive limit are not recommended. (Consult with Labconco).

Do not work with or store chemicals in this hood without the exhaust system running.

Perchloric acid use in this hood is prohibited.

High level radioisotope materials are prohibited for usage in this hood.

1. Remove the hole plugs and install the grommets into the upper baffle.

2. The vertical rods can now be systematically installed in front of the horizontal rods. The bottom of the rods slip into the footplates which rest on the work surface. Tighten the clamping screws on the footplates. For support you need to drill .147 diameter pilot holes and mount the footplates that rest on the work surface. Use the additional #8 thread forming screws in the kit to mount the footplates to the work surface. Another alternative is to secure the footplates to the work surface with clear RTV sealant.

3. Install all the hook connectors, which connect all the vertical rods to the horizontal rods, then install the horizontal rods. Please note that all the vertical rods are in front of the horizontal rods. Simply tighten all the thumbscrews on the hook connectors.

4. The installation is now complete and is ready to mount your apparatus.
