PREFACE Thank you for displaying confidence in us by selecting a Labconco Protector® MultiHazard Glove Box. Our design engineers, assemblers and inspectors have utilized their skills and years of experience to ensure that the new Labconco Controlled Atmosphere Glove Box meets our high standards of quality and performance. IMPORTANT NOTICE Labconco Protector® Glove Boxes are designed to contain chemical and some biohazardous materials.
INTRODUCTION Components Shipped Carefully check the contents of the carton for damage that might have occurred in transit. Do not discard the carton or packing material until all components have been checked against the following component list and the equipment has been installed and tested.
INTRODUCTION General Description The Multi-Hazard Glove Box is equipped with a blower, air damper and filter system that provide versatility for many particular applications. The variable speed blower provides air volumes between 10 and 50 CFM and negative glove box pressure up to 1.5 inches H2O gauge. The air damper provides a means for operating the glove box at a more negative pressure when the blower is running at low speed (low air volume).
INTRODUCTION Performance The Labconco Protector Multi-Hazard Glove Box has been carefully designed, constructed and tested in order to provide an effective physical barrier between the laboratory and the glove box interior. This barrier and the filtering system, provides a clean air enclosure for protection of specimens and materials. It also provides protection to the technician from contaminated materials and specimens.
INTRODUCTION Component Identification General components of the glove box are listed below and identified in Figure 2. 1. Glove Ports. Epoxy coated aluminum, 8" ID, spaced 17" apart, sealed to viewing window with one-piece molded neoprene gasket. Supplied with dual O-ring grooves, neoprene gloves, and retaining O-rings. 2. Neoprene Gloves. Supplied with the glove box, gloves are .015" thick neoprene, 30" long, one pair, and size 9-3/4. (Note: For replacement gloves, see Replacement Parts on page 18. 3.

INTRODUCTION Airflow system components are listed below and are identified in Figure 3. 1. Inlet Pre-Filter. Polyester fiber mat filter captures larger room air particles to extend life of inlet HEPA filter. 2. Air Damper. Adjust fully open (parallel with air flow) for maximum airflow volume. Adjust toward closed position to increase glove box negative pressure differential (if desired) when operating blower at low speed. 3. Inlet HEPA Filter. Rated 99.99% efficient on 0.3-micron particulates.
INSTALLATION Location Glove box should be placed on a stable, level base stand near an appropriate electrical receptacle. The base stand must be capable of supporting 500 lbs minimum, and the height should provide a comfortable working position through glove ports (normally 35" to 37" height for standing position). Connections, Exhaust NOTE: It is the user’s responsibility to determine if the exhaust should be vented to outside the building.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • This product is neither designed nor intended to be an explosion-proof enclosure. It is the responsibility of the user to determine the lower explosive limits and flammability of the enclosed gases and other matter. The user is also responsible for using proper precautions to prevent equipment damage or injury due to explosion or combustion. • It is the responsibility of the user to determine the suitability of this product for the intended applications.
NORMAL OPERATION Start Up NOTE: All internal wiring is protected by two manual reset circuit breakers located on the rear panel. • Confirm that the glove box electrical power cord is plugged into an appropriate electrical power source. • Switch on the fluorescent lamp and check to make sure bulb is working. • Connect a test light to each interior receptacle and check for proper operation by turning on the left and right outlet switches located on the control panel.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Estimation of Filter Condition The negative pressure inside the box will give a good indication of filter and system condition. Set blower speed dial to the speed that gives the proper negative pressure conditions inside the box. Record both the blower speed dial setting and the pressure reading on the gauge. If box pressure begins to drop due to filter loading, increase the blower speed.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Gloves At least every three months (more often if subjected to heavy use), inspect the gloves for signs of damage or wear. For replacement, refer to page 11. Transfer Chamber Inner and Outer Door Periodically check the closing tension of the door latches. Closing the latch handle should require some firm force, indicating compression of the door seals. Seals, compression, and latching force can be adjusted as follows: 1. Close and latch the door. 2.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Fluorescent Lamp Replacement 1. Turn the light switch off and unplug the lamp power cord from the receptacle located on the outside top of the cabinet. 2. From the top of the lamp housing, remove the two Phillips screws attaching the lamp assembly to the top edge of the window frame. 3. Remove the lamp assembly from the unit. 4. The lamp tube can then be easily removed and replaced.
