Before you install the Protector Demonstration Hood, you need to prepare
your site for installation. Carefully examine the location where you intend to
install the hood. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid
construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical power should be
located near the installation site to power the accessory FilterMate Portable
Exhauster or other apparatus.
Carefully read this chapter to learn the requirements for your installation site:
• The support requirements.
• The location and air current requirements.
• The exhaust and blower requirements.
• The electrical power requirements.
• The space requirements.
Refer to Appendix B: Dimensions for complete Protector Demonstration
Hood dimensions.

Chapter 2: Prerequisites
Support Requirements
At a minimum, the supporting structure usually consists of a base cabinet, or
a base stand and chemically-resistant work surface. When setting up a
chemical station, a mobile stand or cart is allowable. Labconco manufactures
a mobile cart with work surface specifically designed to support the Protector
Demonstration Hood and FilterMate Portable Exhauster. The cart is supplied
with the Mobile Protector Demonstration Hood or can be ordered separately
as an accessory. See Chapter 7 for accessories.
Location and Air Current Requirements
The Protector Demonstration Hood has been designed to contain hazards by
negating typical cross drafts and movements within the opening. As a
precautionary measure it is recommended that the enclosure be placed in such
an area away from:
• High traffic areas where walking might cause an air disturbance.
• Overhead or wall HVAC diffusers, fans, radiators or other lab equipment
producing air currents.
• Next to doorways or windows that may be opened.
Exhaust and Blower Requirements
The exhaust connection has been designed to accept a 2" x 10" (5.1cm x
25.4cm) nominal exhaust collar. The Protector Demonstration Hood has two
possible exhaust connections with either the top exhaust open and the bottom
exhaust closed or vice versa. The bottom exhaust connection is primarily
used in installations where the hose or ductwork will be concealed. The
bottom exhaust is used on the Mobile Protector Demonstration Hood to
conceal the exhaust and facilitate connection to the FilterMate Portable
Exhauster. Labconco offers accessory Transition Adapters for the top or
bottom exhaust connection to either a 5" hose or 6" duct. (See Chapter 7 for
ordering any of these accessories). Only one exhaust connection is required.
The mobile Protector Demonstration Hood includes the lower 5" hose
exhaust transition, FilterMate Portable Exhauster, 5" hose, mobile cart and
work surface. Data for the exhaust volume and enclosure static pressure loss
are listed for each model at face velocities of 60, 80 and 100 fpm.

Chapter 2: Prerequisites
Proper blower selection can be determined from these exhaust requirements
and the total system static pressure loss. The enclosure must be connected to
either a dedicated blower, a house exhaust system or a dedicated filtered
exhauster, such as a Labconco FilterMate Portable Exhauster.
Labconco offers three accessory remote blowers listed in Chapter 7.
Electrical Requirements
Standard duplex electrical receptacles should be nearby for connecting the
Demonstration Hood, FilterMate Portable Exhauster, an airflow monitor,
accessory Fluorescent Light or other equipment. For your convenience both
the accessory FilterMate and accessory fluorescent light kit have auxiliary
outlet receptacles. It is required that the airflow monitor be connected
directly to the auxiliary switched outlet on the rear of the FilterMate so the
airflow monitor is ON when the blower is ON. The FilterMate auxiliary
switched outlet is rated for 8 amps.
For other blower exhaust systems, it is recommended that the airflow monitor
be switched by the same circuit as the exhaust blower. If this is not possible,
then the airflow monitor may be connected to the switched auxiliary outlet on
the accessory fluorescent light kit. The fluorescent light kit auxiliary outlet
can be used for any accessory under 8 amps.
Space Requirements
The dimensions for the different models are shown in Appendix B:
Dimensions.

Unpacking the Hood
Carefully remove the shrink-wrap or carton on the hood and inspect it for
damage that may have occurred in transit. If damaged, notify the delivery
carrier immediately and retain the entire shipment intact for inspection by the
carrier.
DO NOT RETURN GOODS WITHOUT THE PRIOR AUTHORIZATION
OF LABCONCO. UNAUTHORIZED RETURNS WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED.
IF ENCLOSURE 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.
Do not discard the packing material until you have checked all of the
components and tested the unit.
We recommend that you do not remove the hood from its shipping container

Installing the Hood on a Supporting
Structure and Work Surface
When installing the hood onto a chemically resistant work surface or
benchtop, ensure that the structure can safely support the combined weight of
the hood and any related equipment. The work surface should be at least as
wide as the hood to properly support it. The front of the hood should be
aligned within 1/8" of the front of the work surface. Mounting holes are
provided in Labconco accessory work surfaces to secure the hood. The
mobile Demonstration Hood features a work surface attached to the cart.

Chapter 3: Getting Started
Work Surface Specifications
The work surface should be smooth, rigid, and durable, such as a chemically
resistant epoxy resin. The surface should be non-porous and resistant to the
acids, solvents and chemicals used in conjunction with the Protector
Demonstration Hood. The work surface should also contain a dished
recessed area for containing primary spills.
Work Surface and Hood Installation
1. Level the base cabinets and the work surface. Work surface should be
placed flush with the front of the base cabinet as shown in Figure 3-1.
2. Position the work surface in its intended location and with the front of
the work surface (wide flange) towards you.
3. Secure the work surface to the base cabinet with a structural adhesive
or silicone sealant.
4. Insert the supplied mounting screws in the four holes. Allow a
minimum of 1/8" clearance under the head of the screw for
positioning the enclosure.
5. Place the hood on the work surface and slide the rear flange and front
air foil flanges under the mounting screw heads.
6. Tighten the four screws to complete the installation.

Chapter 3: Getting Started
Connecting to the Exhaust System
WARNING: The weight of the exhaust ductwork system must be
supported independently of the superstructure or damage may occur.
The exhaust system should be installed by a qualified HVAC contractor.
The exhaust connection on the Demonstration Hood has been designed to
accept a 2" x 10" (5.1cm x 25.4cm) nominal transition adapter. See Chapter
7 for ordering accessory transition adapters. Labconco manufactures
transition adapters for either top or bottom exhaust and for both 5" dia. hose
or 6" dia. duct. Review Chapter 2 for remote blower and FilterMate Portable
Exhauster exhaust prerequisites and review Chapter 7 for ordering blower
exhaust equipment. For your convenience several exhaust options are shown
in Figures 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, 3-5 and 3-6. Consult Labconco Customer Service
should you require help sizing your blower for the exhaust volume and
system static pressure loss.

Chapter 3: Getting Started
Connecting the Electrical Supply
A standard duplex receptacle should be nearby for connecting the FilterMate
Portable Exhauster, airflow monitor and accessories. Please review Chapter
2 for electrical prerequisites.
All wiring for the building duplex outlets SHOULD be performed by a
licensed electrician and conform to all local codes.
Sealing to the Work Surface
When the hood has been set in place, ducted and wired, it may be sealed at
the work surface to prevent spilled materials from collecting under the walls.
A bead of silicone sealant is recommended to seal the hood to the work
surface.
Validating the Hood
The exhaust damper, exhaust blower or FilterMate gives you the flexibility to
change the airflow at the sash opening of your enclosure. Determine the
actual face velocity at the sash opening by taking airflow velocity readings.
These should be taken across the sash opening of the enclosure in accordance
with the Industrial Ventilation Manual. (See Appendix D) The “average face
velocity” is achieved by taking readings in two rows across the enclosure
with the readings 6" from the ends and evenly spaced every 12"; the first row
is 3" down from the upper sash foil and the second row is 3" up from the
work surface. Labconco recommends an average face velocity at the sash
opening of 60 to 100 feet per minute for Protector Demonstration Hoods.
Refer to Chapter 2 for proper airflow volumes for your particular model.
Your Protector Demonstration Hood has been tested at the factory per
ASHRAE 110-1995. All enclosures achieve an “as manufactured rating” of
less than 0.05 part per million (ppm) at 4 liters per minute (lpm); AM <0.05
(Consult Labconco for individual ratings). For “field use” ASHRAE testing
contact Labconco for a certified on-site contractor.
NOTE: Face velocity profiles and smoke testing should be performed
frequently per your organization’s quality system to ensure safe
performance.
