Your high performance enclosure is designed to protect you by providing superior containment while conserving energy at OSHA approved “low flow” velocities as low as 60 feet per minute. It is the result of Labconco’s more than 50 years experience in manufacturing fume hoods. The Protector Demonstration Hood has been engineered to provide maximum containment.
Chapter 1: Introduction Protector Demonstration Hood System 3945001 2 Product Service 1-800-522-7658
Chapter 2: Prerequisites 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.
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.
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.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Now that the site for your Protector Demonstration Hood is properly prepared, you are ready to unpack, inspect, install, and validate your hood system. Read this chapter to learn how to: • Unpack and move the hood. • Set up the hood with the proper supporting structure and work surface. • Connect to an exhaust system. • Connect the electrical supply. • Seal the hood to the work surface. • Arrange validation for the enclosure.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Unpacking the Hood The United States Interstate Commerce Commission rules require that claims be filed with the delivery carrier within fifteen (15) days of delivery. 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.
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.
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.

Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions High Performance Features: The patented (U.S. Patent No. 6,461,233) Protector Demonstration Hood is designed to meet the needs of a variety of laboratory applications, and provide superior containment while conserving energy at OSHA approved “low flow” velocities as low as 60 feet per minute. The Protector Demonstration Hood has been designed to effectively contain toxic, noxious, or other harmful materials when properly installed and operated.
Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions Airflow monitor moved forward per Chapter 6.
Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions 1. Aerodynamic Clean-Sweep™ Air Foil has a unique low profile shape that allows air to sweep the work surface for maximum containment. The Clean-Sweep™ openings create a constant protective barrier from contaminants. In addition, should the operator inadvertently block the airflow entering the air foil, air continues to pass under the air foil and through the Clean-Sweep openings. See Figure 4-2. Figure 4-2 2.
Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions 3. Upper Dilution Air Supply provides bypass air from above the work area. This feature constantly bathes the sash interior with clean air and reduces powders and chemical fumes along the sash plane, near the critical breathing zone. Five to seven percent of the required air volume is introduced through the upper dilution air supply to ensure maximum containment.
Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions 10. Electrical Pass through Iris allows electrical cords and data cords to pass through the back of hood without leaving a large hole for contaminants to escape. The hood ships with solid plugs and the iris plugs are included with the instruction manual for your convenience. 11. Shipped fully assembled to eliminate the need for costly onsite assembly.
Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions Safety Precautions Although the hood has been engineered to maintain optimum operator safety, caution should always be used while working. Prior to using the hood, check to make sure that the exhaust blower is operating and that air is entering the hood at its specified face velocity. The use of an airflow monitor is recommended to alert the user if there is a problem with airflow. Use good housekeeping in the hood at all times.
Chapter 5: Using Your Protector Demonstration Hood Planning • Thoroughly understand procedures and equipment required before beginning work. • Arrange for minimal disruptions, such as room traffic or entry into the room while the hood is in use. Start-up • Turn on exhaust system and accessory light if so equipped. • Only raise the sash for loading. • Check the baffle air slots for obstructions. • Allow the enclosure to operate unobstructed for 1 minute. • Wear a long sleeved lab coat and rubber gloves.
Chapter 5: Using Your Protector Demonstration Hood Work Techniques • Keep all materials inside 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. • Avoid using techniques or procedures that disrupt the airflow patterns of the hood.
Chapter 6: Maintaining Your Protector Demonstration Hood Now that you have an understanding of how to work in the hood, we will review the suggested maintenance schedule and the common service operations necessary to maintain your hood for peak performance. Only trained and experienced certification technicians should perform some of the service operations after the hood has been properly decontaminated. DO NOT attempt to perform these operations if you are not properly trained.
Chapter 6: Maintaining Your Protector Demonstration Hood Annually • Have the hood validated by a qualified certification technician. See Validating the Hood in Chapter 3. • All monthly activities.
