9. The first screen allows you to decide if the cabinet is connected to an exhaust system or not. When the unit is configured for no exhaust connection, the Axiom will ignore the inlet relief valve sensor’s status. Selecting connected to an exhaust system activates the sensor; if the valve is open, the unit operates normally, if closed, an exhaust alarm is activated. Use the ▲or▼ buttons to select the exhaust configuration, and then press
OK/Mute.
10. If the unit is configured to be connected to an exhaust system, then the next screen allows you to program the amount of time interval of Active Protection. Active Protection will allow the Axiom blowers to continue to operate after the detection of an exhaust system failure. This will maintain a safe inflow to allow the user a programmed time interval to secure any hazardous materials in the cabinet before the BSC shuts off.
11. This screen configures the sash height. After your selection is chosen, and you press OK/Mute.
12. This screen configures the unit for a UV light or not. After your selection is chosen, and you press OK/Mute, the unit will shut off and then reset in the new configuration.

Axiom Filter Life Gauge Operation and Resetting for Local Conditions

The filter life gauge calculates the remaining filter life by measuring and comparing the current motor speed to the initial speed noted at the factory during assembly, and the calculated maximum motor speed, using the formula:
100-(100x (current speed-original speed) ) = % filter life left max. speed-original speed
So

will increase the motor’s speed, causing the Filter Life Gauge to decrease. Electronic dampening of the gauge will limit the change in readings to approximately 1%/minute.
Axiom Biosafety Cabinets being installed at altitudes or operating at temperatures significantly different from those at the time of manufacture (900 +/- 500 ft above sea level, 75o +/- 5o F) conditions. Failure to do so will result in the users noticing a steady drop in Percent (%) Filter Life remaining as the unit operates. Below are the instructions on how to correct the Filter Life Gauge for local conditions.

1. Ensure to correct all measurement equipment for local conditions (temperature, absolute pressure). Anemometers may not have this ability and might have to be done manually; whereas, a ShortRidgeTM instrument has a setting to correct for local conditions.
2. As the elevation or the ambient temperature rises, the motor power factor will have to be reduced to compensate. For an initial certification, the motor speed should be reduced until it equals the Axiom’s “Initial Motor Speed” as reported on the unit’s test sheet, plus approximately 10-15 RPM per each additional 1000 feet of elevation.
3. The Axiom MUST be recertified using instruments corrected for local conditions.
4. When the unit is recertified, and operating properly, the certifier MUST RESET THE FILTER LIFE GAUGE, INDICATING A NEW FILTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED.
5. Only by performing Step #4 AFTER THE UNIT IS READJUSTED AND RECERTIFIED FOR ITS LOCAL CONDITION, will the filter life gauge register 100% (+/- 2%) during operation. As the Filters then load, the filter life gauge will then begin to drop as appropriate.

Axiom Model Identification
The primary serial tag is on the lower right edge of the front dress panel. The secondary serial tag is located on the front of the electronics module on the top
right side of the cabinet.
The first two digits of the serial number are the year of production; the next two are
the month. The next 5 digits are the sequence of production, and the letter following the serial number is the revision level of the cabinet.
Downflow Test Specifications
All models are classified as uniform downflow. All tests performed as described in ANSI/NSF Standard 49:2012. UV Lamp, IV bar and all other accessories must be removed before measuring
downflow.
Inflow Test Specifications
All tests performed as described in ANSI/NSF Standard 49:2012.
Secondary Inflow Test Specifications
Must use Labconco holder P/N 3836405 to perform this test properly.
1. Use the appropriate template included in Certifier Kit# 3858403.
2. Measured from the bottom edge of the probe holder to the center of the thermal anemometer sensor element.
* - Locate the single row of holes at the front of the grille. Mark the 6th hole from the side wall and subsequent test points every 9 holes until the number of test points marked equals the width of the cabinet in feet (3-foot cabinet, mark the first 3 points). Repeat for the opposite side.
HEPA Filter Leak Test Specifications
3. Based on mineral oil.
4. Without gasket
Aerosol generator should be placed in the left rear corner of the work area, pointing
toward the rear grille.
For uncontaminated units, the upstream concentration can be sampled from the
tube located under the work surface.

SERIAL NUMBER TAGS
The model/serial number tag is located on the bottom right edge of the dress panel. A second tag is located on the front of the electronics module on the top of the unit. This tag includes the unit’s operating voltage and amperage. The model and serial numbers of each unit are also recorded on the unit test report attached beneath the front dress panel. These items are shown graphically in the figures 1-3 to 1-5 below:

Final Inspection and Test Report Form
Obviously, you can get confirmation of the Biosafety Cabinet's model by contacting Labconco's Product Service Department, and providing us with the serial number. From this number, we can tell the date of production and its model.

AXIOM MODEL NUMBERING SYSTEM
Axiom units’ model numbers define the configuration of the cabinet. The first five digits define the unit's configuration, while the last four are assigned based on the unit's options and electrical configuration. Thus, a model number of:

Axiom Data Plate
The Axiom Data Plate contains much of the information required to certify the unit. Information on the plate includes nominal inflow and downflow velocity settings, a description of how to establish the downflow grid and the secondary inflow methodology are also included on the data plate, as shown below. The plate is located in the upper left corner of the dress panel.

Final Inspection and Test Report Form
A copy of the Final Inspection Test Report is attached to the blower plenum cover, beneath the front dress panel. The report contains initial setup information on inflow and downflow velocities, and the initial blower torque setting. A copy of the report is shown in Figure 1-7, below

Theory of Operation
Background
The Axiom Type C1 BSC was the result of a customer request for a Type B (directly exhausted) cabinet that could operate at a constant exhaust system vacuum of only 0.25 inches of H2O. Realizing that this was impossible for existing Type B technologies, Labconco developed a new type of BSC; The proposed Type C1.
Figure 1-8
Airflow Patterns and Features
The overall airflow pattern in the Type C1 is similar to a Type B1, with three important differences:
1. In the C1, the directly exhausted portion of downflow air is taken from the center of the work area (The Chem-ZoneTM).
2. An inlet relief valve, unique to the Axiom, stabilizes the inflow as exhaust system airflows fluctuates, and closes during an exhaust system failure, signaling the Axiom to initiate a timed “Active Protection” of the user and their work.
3. A constant volume exhaust blower upstream of the Exhaust
HEPA maintains constant inflow, and allows the unit’s blowers
to continue to operate during an exhaust system failure (Active Protection), maintaining safe inflows and downflows while the user secures any hazardous materials in the work area.

Figure 1-8a
Chem-ZoneTM Directly Exhausted Work Zone
Unique to the Axiom is the Chem-Zone, a directly exhausted work zone. The central portion of the work surface is surrounded by grilles on the sides, front and back. Air entering these grilles is drawn to the Exhaust HEPA filter, and when the cabinet is connected to an exhaust system, out of the laboratory. This feature prevents the recirculation of volatile chemicals as seen in Type A cabinets, while exhausting much less air than Type B2 models. This is illustrated in Figure 1-8a.
