Chapter 1: Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of a Labconco Paramount® Ductless Enclosure, commonly called a ductless fume hood. Unlike traditional fume hoods, the Paramount Ductless Enclosure is considered green as it conserves energy because it requires no ducting. The Paramount Ductless Enclosure is a self-contained work station that protects the operator from specified vapors and/or particulates released in the work area, through the use of carbon filters and/or HEPA filters.
Chapter 1: Introduction Even if you are an experienced ductless enclosure user, please review Chapter 5: Using the Ductless Enclosure; it describes the Paramount Ductless Enclosure features so that you can use it efficiently and effortlessly. The Paramount Ductless Enclosure ships without any filters. Chapter 3: Getting Started and Chapter 6: Maintaining the Ductless Enclosure, must be followed to properly select and install filters.
Chapter 2: Prerequisites Before you install the Paramount Ductless Enclosure, you need to prepare your site for installation. A dedicated source of electrical power should be located near the installation site to power the ductless enclosure and other apparatus. Additionally, the enclosure should be strategically placed in the lab to provide efficient workflow. Carefully read this chapter to learn the requirements for your installation site: The support and stability requirements.
Chapter 2: Prerequisites Location and Air Current Requirements The Paramount Ductless Enclosures have been designed to contain hazards by negating typical cross drafts and turbulence within the opening. However, it is recommended that the enclosure be placed in an area to avoid: High traffic areas where walking might cause an air disturbance or be a nuisance. Overhead or wall HVAC diffusers, fans, radiators or other lab equipment producing air currents.

Chapter 2: Prerequisites Electrical Requirements Standard duplex electrical receptacles should be nearby for connecting the Paramount Ductless Enclosure and other equipment. The enclosures include iris pass-through ports to allow electrical cords through the back of the enclosure without leaving a large hole for contaminants to escape. (See Appendix C for amperage.) There is no provision for controlling a remote blower for exhausting air from the Paramount Ductless Enclosure.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Now that the site for your Paramount Ductless Enclosure is properly prepared, you are ready to unpack, inspect, install, and validate your system. Read this chapter to learn how to: Unpack and move the enclosure. Set up the enclosure with the proper supporting structure and work surface. Install carbon filters and/or HEPA filters. Connect the electrical supply. Set Filter Life and Filter Check Timers. Reset or change the face velocity, if necessary.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Unpacking the Enclosure We recommend that you do not remove the enclosure from its shipping container until it is ready to be placed into its final location. Move the unit by placing a flat, low dolly under the shipping skid, or by using a floor jack. Carefully remove the shrink-wrap or carton on the enclosure and inspect it for damage that may have occurred in transit.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Work Surface and Enclosure Installation 1. Level the base cabinets and the work surface. Work surface should be placed flush with the front of the stand or base cabinet as shown in Figure 3-1. 2. Identify and position the work surface ensuring the mounting holes will align with the four screw locations on the base of the enclosure. (Rear mounting holes are located close to the rear edge.) 3.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Figure 3-1 Paramount Ductless Enclosure Installation 10 Product Service 1-800-522-7658
Chapter 3: Getting Started Install Carbon Filters and/or HEPA Filters Refer to Figure 3-2 for a view of the filter loading compartment with the front panel removed. The Paramount Ductless Enclosure ships without filters that must be ordered separately. It is highly recommended that an extra set of new filters be on hand on a continuous basis.
Chapter 3: Getting Started To install the filters, push the stacked filters to the stop in the rear of each filter compartment. After loading the stacked filters into the compartments, close the gas spring cylinders by pulling the handle down and compressing the filter gaskets. Filter installation is complete. Figure 3-2 Filter Installation Connect the Electrical Supply Simply connect the 115V power cord supplied to the IEC electrical supply plug on the back of the enclosure.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Initial Safety-First™ Vapor Sensor Warm Up Period The Safety-First™ Vapor Sensor includes a 5V, 0.28W integrated heater and any detectable gas that accumulates during shipment must be driven off the organic sensor over an initial 10-30 minute warm up period with the blower activated. Refer to the Diagnostic Program Screen for Organic Sensor on page 32 in Chapter 5 to view the display of the millivolt levels of the Vapor Sensor.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Validate the Enclosure To determine the actual face velocity at the sash opening, airflow velocity readings are taken. Each Paramount Ductless Enclosure has been preset at 75-80 fpm. The “average face velocity” is achieved by taking readings across the enclosure with the readings 6" from the ends and evenly spaced every 12". Readings are measured at 5" directly below the upper sash handle. Refer to Chapter 2 for proper airflow volumes for your particular model.
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions The Paramount Ductless Enclosure is a self-contained filtered enclosure that protects the operator from specified vapors and particulates through the revolutionary combination of features to enhance safety, performance, and ergonomics. Carbon filters and/or HEPA filters must be installed. All Paramount Ductless Enclosures have the following performance features as illustrated in Figure 4-1: 1. High Performance Containment 2.
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Figure 4-1 Performance Features 16 Product Service 1-800-522-7658
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions High Performance Containment The Paramount Ductless Enclosures use patented technology to direct air into and through the contaminated air chamber (U.S. Patent 6,461,233).
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Safety-First™ Vapor Sensor The Safety-First™ Vapor Sensor detects filter saturation in the exhaust to alert the operator to replace the filters. The early warning provided by the Safety-First Vapor Sensor provides the user ample time (5-10% remaining filter life) to complete work in process before replacing the filters. The early warning signals with an intermittent beep and the LCD display message alerts the user to replace filters.
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Smart-Flow™ Airflow Monitor The Smart-Flow™ Airflow Monitor continuously monitors airflow and displays face velocity. An audible/visual alarm alerts the user to low airflow conditions. The Smart-Flow Airflow Monitor enables the motor speed to automatically adjust for conditions such as temperature, barometric pressure, and filter loading and maintain constant programmed airflow speed.
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Ergonomic Sloped Front The ergonomic slope provides maximum visibility and comfort, reduces glare, thereby minimizing operator fatigue. The space saving design (U.S. Patent No. D538,941) increases effective laboratory work space, because the impeller and filters are all self-contained within the enclosure and a separate filtered blower unit is not required.
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Maximum Visibility Visibility is maximized on all units with at least 270 degree visibility from both sides and the front pivoting sash. Some 3' and 4' models have 360 degree visibility which is especially useful in classroom demonstrations. See Chapter 2: Prerequisites for model differences and model numbers.
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions 9. Avoid cross drafts and limit traffic in front of the enclosure. Air disturbances created may draw contaminants out of the enclosure. 10. A qualified certification technician should test the enclosure before it is initially used. The enclosure should be validated whenever it is relocated. 11. The use of safety goggles, protective clothing, gloves and any other personal protective equipment recommended by your safety officer should be used. 12.
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions 23. Use the smallest possible quantity of chemical(s) within the enclosure and never exceed the amount which can be effectively adsorbed by the filters before breakthrough. 24. Leave the blower on for at least one minute after work in the enclosure has been completed. 25. If a chemical is spilled on the work surface DO NOT switch off the blower until all traces of the chemical has been removed. 26. Make sure filters are installed prior to each use.
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Misapplications that Could Result in a Hazardous Situation There is one scenario where the Paramount’s misapplication could be a part of a hazardous condition. That situation is where; 1. the Inlet Concentration is greater than the exposure limit/TWA, 2. the filter becomes saturated, 3. the user continues to operate, 4.
Chapter 5: Using the Ductless Enclosure Information Center The Information Center is an LCD display located on the control panel.

Chapter 5: Using The Ductless Enclosure If a Check Airflow Activates The most common causes of a check airflow alarm are: Blockage of the inlet perforated baffle or exhaust outlet. Loading or blockage of the filters resulting in low airflow. Motorized impeller failure or faulty electrical connector to the impeller. Note: If the alarm sounds during use, immediately take appropriate action to prevent contamination to you and other personnel in the area.
Chapter 5: Using The Ductless Enclosure Work Techniques Keep all materials a minimum of 4 inches (100 mm) from the inside of the lower air foil, and perform all contaminated operations as far to the rear of the work area as possible. Segregate all clean and contaminated materials in the work area. Arrange materials to minimize the movement of contaminated materials into clean areas. Keep all discarded contaminated material to the rear of the work area.
Chapter 6: Maintaining the Ductless Enclosure Replacing the carbon filters, HEPA filters, and fluorescent light is the primary routine maintenance required. Review this chapter on maintenance for the following: Routine Maintenance. Determination of when to replace carbon filters. Determination of when to replace HEPA filters. Install carbon filters and/or HEPA filters. Set Filter Life and Filter Check Timers. HEPA filter leak test.
Chapter 6: Maintaining the Ductless Enclosure Quarterly (or more often as required) Note the airflow velocity on the display. Determine the actual airflow face velocity through the sash opening of the enclosure where the average reading should be at the specified velocity. (Use calibrated thermal anemometer or other approved apparatus). The enclosure’s perforated baffle should be checked for any blockage to ensure that the enclosure is maintaining proper airflow.
Chapter 6: Maintaining the Ductless Enclosure There are five means of determining when its time to change the carbon filters (not shown in the order of preference). Odor - A person’s sensitivity to odor, tolerance of odor and their comfort level under odoriferous conditions vary with the individual. Odor is an indicator that chemicals are passing through the carbon filter. Additionally, several points need to be understood: Odor can be used as a prompt to sample the exhaust to confirm breakthrough.
Chapter 6: Maintaining the Ductless Enclosure inserted between the stacked filters to sample the lower filter or inserted through the holes in the blower exhaust cover to sample both filters. Connect the syringe to the detector tube while the system is running and pull the air through the tube with the syringe. Each stroke of the syringe represents a 100-ml sample and corresponds to the number of strokes necessary to give the indicated color changes.
