Exhaust Requirements

If you intend to connect the Biosafety Cabinet to the optional Canopy

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 10-inch

diameter duct. Avoid cabinet locations that require an elbow directly above

the cabinet’s exhaust connection or an excessive number of elbows in the

exhaust system. For further information about the cabinet’s exhaust system

requirements, please refer to Chapter 3: Getting Started.

All Biosafety Cabinets with model numbers ending in –00 to –09 are

designed for operation at 115 volts 60 Hz, alternating current. Biosafety

Cabinets with model numbers ending in –20 to –29 are designed for

operation at 230 +/- 20 volts, 50/60 Hz alternating current.

Note: A dedicated outlet with a circuit breaker rated at 20 amps should

be located as close as possible to the right rear side of the cabinet, at a

height even with, or higher than, the top of the bench or stand.

Note: On 115 VAC models, both electrical outlets are protected by a ground

fault interrupter circuit (GFIC). Labconco does not recommend plugging the

Biosafety Cabinet into a GFIC outlet.
