NTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Protector
®
Echo™ or Protector
Airo™ Filtered Fume Hood which is unique as it is built on a traditional fume
® hood platform along with Neutrodine
®
Filters that handle solvents, acids, and bases with one comprehensive filter. From here on in this manual, the Protector Airo only refers to the shorter height 3' and 4' widths with 54.2" exterior height. It offers a comfortable workspace for users accustomed to the space and utility of a standard ducted fume hood, but in the realm of a filtered fume hood. The Protector
Filtered Fume Hood solves the problem of ducting in laboratories that are difficult to vent because of location. The Protector Filtered Fume Hood combines its patented (U.S. Patent No. 6,461,233) fully featured, containment-enhancing fume hood design with Neutrodine (by Erlab) filtration technology to deliver a multi-use ductless fume hood. The Protector Filtered Fume Hood meets the definition of
SEFA 9 DH3 ductless hoods because of its sensor package, backup filters, and communication. Building communication is one of the most important aspects of the Protector Filtered Fume Hood. In the event of loss of airflow, damage of a primary filter, or if a leak reaches the second set of redundant filters for any reason, an alarm will sound and the communication system will alert a designated email address. The designated safety officer could be made aware of the problem immediately through any internet-enabled smart phone, tablet or computer. Large laboratories and labs where a single safety manager must handle multiple concerns will benefit most from this proactive safety system.
The Labconco Protector Filtered Fume Hood has been engineered to provide maximum visibility in a laboratory, and effectively contain toxic, noxious, or other harmful materials when properly installed. The Protector Filtered Fume Hood offers many unique features to enhance safety, performance, and visibility. To take full advantage of them, please acquaint yourself with this manual and keep it handy for future reference. If you are unfamiliar with how fume hoods operate, please review Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions before you begin working in the fume hood. Even if you are an experienced fume hood user, please review Chapter 5: Using Your Protector Filtered Hood, which describes your filtered hood’s features so that you can efficiently use the hood.

Installing the Hood on a Supporting
Structure and Work Surface
! The Protector Hood is heavy! Use caution when lifting or moving the unit.
Le Protecteur Hood est lourd! Soyez prudent lorsque vous soulever ou déplacer l'appareil.
When installing the Protector Filtered Hood onto a chemically-resistant work surface or benchtop, ensure that the structure can safely support the combined weight of the fume hood and any related equipment. The work surface should be at least as wide as the hood to properly support it. The work surface is aligned flush with the back of the filtered fume hood for good airflow: this will provide the correct spacing under the air foil for proper bypass airflow. The lower base cabinets are placed flush with the front of the work surface as shown in Figure 3-1.
! WARNING: It is important to support the rear of the work surface and filtered fume hood. The cross support provides support for the bottom of the work surface . Install the cross support after the base cabinets and work surface are leveled and before installing the hood.
AVERTISSEMENT : Il est important de soutenir l'arrière de la surface de travail et filtré hotte. Le support tranversal soutient le bas de la surface de travail. Installer le support transversal après que les meubles et la surface de travail soient nivelés et avant d'installer la hotte.

Troubleshooting Guide for GFH
Here is your Troubleshooting Guide for your GFH, as these scenarios are most common.
During installation of the fume hood:
1) “The hood is in mis-match alarm (9A), why?” a. This is correct. You must perform the re-configuration process after all the filtration technology is installed and connected. See pages 28-29 of the User’s Manual for the steps to re-configure. Please be patient and follow each step.
2) “The re-configuration is missing some components, what do I do now?” a. Ask the customer/installer which specific components are missing: the screen on the GFH Command Module (the
Erlab box with the display screen) will display “No” after them (e.g. fans, temp sensor, sash sensor, semicon. sensor or electro sensor). b. For that missing component, double check that it is physically and properly plugged in. There is a short cord coming from the Command Module for each component that will plug either directly into the component (fan, light) or into a cord coming from the component (sash sensor, temp sensor). c. If the missing component is plugged in and still not being seen, ask that they unplug and then plug it back in again.
Press the “X” button on the display and then the “OK” button to “Create Factory CFG” (this is step 5 of the
Reconfiguration process in the Echo/Airo
User’s Manual, pages 32-33). d. Note: If some fans are missing, have the customer check each one to make sure the DIP switches are set properly on each fan box. See step 9 of the filtration installation procedure in the User’s Manual, page 21). e. If the component is still missing, refer the customer to tech support at Erlab or Labconco as appropriate.
3) “I cannot get the reconfiguration completed!” (this can happen at initial installation and later with replacement of the acid sensor, filters or other service work) a. Which step of the reconfiguration process are you on?
Do you have the
User’s Manual open to the correct page? b.
Product Service 1-800-522-7658 43
Original instructions
Chapter 3: Getting Started
Have you completed all previous steps of configuration? If unsure, start over at the very beginning by deleting the configuration and creating a new one. Start at step 4 of the reconfiguration process in the User’s Manual, page
31. c. Refer to the
User’s Manual and follow each step, step-bystep with patience and attention. d. If they continue to have difficulties, refer to tech support at Erlab to complete the configuration.
During operation of the fume hood:
4) “The hood is in alarm, what do I do?” a. Ask the caller to please read the screen to see what the alpha-numeric alarm code is (i.e. 8S, 8Q, 8K, etc.). They may need to press the OK button to see the code. b. Refer to the GFH alarm code list (next page) to see what the alarm is, possible causes and recommended actions
(e.g. lower sash, replace acid sensor, replace filters, etc.). c. Re-booting the GFH computer can remove a momentary alarm situation. Ask the customer to cycle power to the hood to see if that resets the issue. Either unplug the hood completely, or simply pull out the black fuse holder in the left-hand end of the GFH Command Module (the
Erlab box with the display screen). Wait 15 seconds and then restore power. The hood will go through a re-boot and takes a couple of minutes to be ready. Please be patient. d. If none of the above resolve the issue, refer the customer to tech support at Erlab or Labconco as appropriate.
5)
“The hood is in filter saturation alarm and its brand new!
What do I do?” a. The saturation detection sensors are likely not yet fully burned in. The hood should be left running for 24 to 48 hours to allow the sensors and their chamber to fully purge and burn in.
44 Product Service 1-800-522-7658
Original instructions
Chapter 3: Getting Started b. If it has been running for at least that amount of time, check to make sure the solvent sensor trigger set point is correct. Using an Administration or Maintenance access card, go into the Hood Status menu and scroll down to the “Semicon Sensor” sub menu. Confirm that the “Trig.
M” value (e.g. 3600 mV) matches the GFH Settings sheet that was provided with the hood. c. Sometimes the sensor tubing is not properly connected to each and every fan box. Have the customer remove the front access panel and confirm that the clear tubing coming from the Command Module is connected to the first fan and each fan after that (fan quantity depends upon hood width). d. Cycle power with the fuse holder or unplugging the hood to see if that resets the issue. The hood will re-boot, be patient. e. If the hood is still in saturation alarm, refer to tech support at Erlab or Labconco as appropriate.
6) “The hood is in mis-match alarm (9A), why?” a. The Command Module scans each electrical device periodically to make sure it is still connected and working properly. Sometimes, due to the timing of the scan, it does not see a component and sounds the mismatch alarm (code “9A”). b. First, cycle power with the fuse holder or unplugging the hood to see if that resets the issue. The hood will re-boot, be patient. c. If the mismatch alarm persists, have them insert the
Maintenance access card and press the OK button with the curso r next to the “Hardware Mismatch” menu on the screen. See step 1 of the Re-configuration Process in the
User’s Manual, pages 29-30. d. Have them double check that the electrical connection to the missing component is complete (fan, light, sash sensor, etc.). Unplug and plug back in the connection. e. Note: the alarm will not automatically clear. You must reboot the hood (fuse or power cord) to get the
Command Module to rescan and clear the alarm. f. If the hood is still in mismatch alarm, refer to tech support at Erlab or Labconco as appropriate.
Note: To conclude, these six tech support scenarios represent over 95% of the calls we receive. If, however, the customer cannot resolve the issue
(or is experiencing an issue not listed above) please don’t hesitate to get tech support at Erlab and/or Labconco headquarters involved immediately.

Certifying the Protector Filtered Fume
Hood
The filtered hood gives you the flexibility to change the airflow at the sash opening of your hood. To determine the actual face velocity at the sash opening, airflow velocity readings will need to be taken. This should be done across the sash opening of the hood in accordance with the Industrial Ventilation Manual section on laboratory hoods (see Appendix E: References ). Labconco recommends an average face velocity at the sash opening of 60 to 100 feet per minute. Consult Chapter 2 for proper airflow volumes for your particular model.
Your Protector Fume Hood has been tested at the factory per ASHRAE 110-1995.
All hoods achieve an “as manufactured rating” of less than 0.05 part per million
(ppm) at 4 liters per minute (lpm); AM<0.05 (consult Labconco for individual fume hood ratings). For “field use” ASHRAE testing contact Labconco Sales
Engineering Team or Customer Service for a certified on-site contractor. A “field use” ASHRAE method is used with isopropyl alcohol and a full report and method is available upon request and posted on Labconco’s website.
! NOTE: Face velocity profiles and smoke testing should be done periodically to ensure safe performance .
NOTE : Les profils de flux frontal et les tests de fumée devraient être régulièrement faits pour garantir une utilisation en toute securité.

Chapter 4: Performance Features & Safety Precautions
The HEPA filter in the filtered hood will gradually accumulate airborne particulate matter from the room and from work performed in the enclosure. The rate of accumulation will depend upon the cleanliness of the room air, the amount of time the filtered hood is operating and the nature of work being done in the filtered hood.
Le filtre HEPA dans la hotte filtrée accumulera progressivement particules aéroportées de la salle et des travaux exécutés dans l'enceinte. Le taux d'accumulation dépend de la propreté de l'air ambiant, la quantité de temps le capot filtrée est en marche et la nature des travaux effectués dans la hotte filtré.
Tag the filtered hood with appropriate warning if any filters have been removed for service.
Marquer le capot filtrée avec avertissement approprié si des filtres ont été retirés du service.

Starting the Filtered Hood
1.
To start the filtered hood, insert an access card and press the “Fan” button.
You can also validate performance by listening to the fans, reviewing the display, and/or watching smoke drawn into the hood face opening.
2.
To turn the fluorescent light on with an access card already inserted, press the “Light” button.
Operating the Vertical-Rising Sash
Because of the Protector Filtered Hood counterbalanced sash mechanism, it will take only a few pounds of force to move the sash up or down, and you can operate the sash smoothly with one or two hands positioned anywhere along the handle.
The vertical-rising sash may be raised to a maximum 16" operating height for proper airflow between 60-100 fpm. The airflow requirements should be sized for the 16" operating height. The sash stops allow the loading height to be increased to 28" only for loading equipment. See Chapter 2 for airflows.
The Modular Neutrodine Filtration
Under normal conditions, the air quality at the safety filter (upper most position per Figure 5-2) is purer than the laboratory. The embedded sensors inform the user when the air quality after passing through the first layer of modular
Neutrodine filters contain an excessive level of chemicals called chemical breakthrough. Neutrodine filtration utilizes a universal media allowing simultaneous handling of solvents, acids, and bases with one filter with spaces to enhance adsorption. The maximum acceptable concentration of contamination at the filter exhaust, to comply with the NFX 15211, should never exceed 1% of the
TLV of the exhausted chemical. In order to provide a reliable solution to monitor the exhausted air quality, the sensors were tested within a large range of conditions over a period of several years. These sensors are located on the control panel and air is sampled in two filter stages, the primary and the safety filter, in order to inform the user when the primary filter is saturated and can no longer adsorb additional contaminants. The filtered hood operates without risk as the user is always protected by the redundant safety backup filter.

The Modular Neutrodine Filtration Technology
Detecting a Breakthrough
Detecting a breakthrough of the lower primary filter is automatically completed with a broad sensor, a target acid gas sensor, and a lab ambient air sensor.
Broad Sensor (Solvents)
The first sensor is based on a semi-conductor metal oxide sensing chip with integrated heater. In the presence of detectable gas, sensor concentration increases with electrical output signal which corresponds to the gas concentration.
The first sensor detects a large range of chemicals, such as solvents, but is not sensitive to inorganic acids and some halogenated chemicals.
Product Service 1-800-522-7658 61
Chapter 5: Using the Protector Filtered Hood
Figure 5-3
Broad Sensor
Original instructions
Target Acid Sensor
The second sensor completes the electrochemical sensor array to detect inorganic acids and/or bases. The target sensor contains an electrolyte and is similar to an electrode used to measure pH or ions in water. When a target chemical such as an inorganic acid migrates into the electrolyte, the potential of the electrode is modified signaling an alarm condition.

Record Old Filter Tags
Below is what the screen display means based on your specific model M1, M2,
M3, M4, or M5
M1 = 1 primary filter & 1 secondary filter = 2 total Neutrodine filters = 0/2
M2 = 2 primary filters & 2 secondary filters = 4 total Neutrodine filters = 0/4
M3 = 3 primary filters & 3 secondary filters = 6 total Neutrodine filters = 0/6
M4 = 4 primary filters & 4 secondary filters = 8 total Neutrodine filters = 0/8
M5 = 5 primary filters & 5 secondary filters = 10 total Neutrodine filters = 0/10
Scan out your old primary filters one at a time.
***Scan out your old primary filters only.***
To scan out, place your ladder in front of the control module so that you have easy access to the RFID “card reader.”
The RFID tags are the black round discs that are on the front of all filters.
One by one, hold the filters in front of the control module to scan out the RFID tag on each primary filter. Listen for the beep when you scan them out.
Once you have scanned them all out you should see 0/_ where the 0 will be the total number of primary filters that you have and the _ will signify all the
Neutrodine filters that you have based on the hood size (M2, M3, M4, M4).
Example: For a M3 you would see 3/6 a three being your primary filters that were scanned out and the six being your total Neutrodine filters.
***At this point check to see that the left number reflects the number of primary filters that you have either a M2, M3, M4, M5.***
If the number is not correct, rescan out the old primary filters as one must have been missed.
Once it is correct press “OK” to go to the next screen.

Step 11 – Scan in your new filters
You should now see: [Partial Replacement]
Step #5
Record New Filter Tags
Unpack all your new filters for the hood you are working on only and save the plastic bags for covering the old primary filters later on.
Below is what the screen display means based on your specific model M1, M2,
M3, M4, or M5
M1 = 1 primary + 1 secondary filter = 2 total & 1 opt. Hepa filters = 3 total = 0/3
M2 = 2 primary + 2 secondary filters = 4 total & 2 opt. Hepa filters = 6 total = 0/6
M3 = 3 primary + 3 secondary filters = 6 total & 3 opt. Hepa filters = 9 total = 0/9
M4 = 4 primary + 4 secondary filters = 8 total & 4 opt. Hepa filters = 12 total = 0/12
M5 = 5 primary + 5 secondary filters = 10 total & 5 opt. Hepa filters = 15 total = 0/15
***Do not be confused. The _ reflects your total filters plus the option of a HEPA filter layer.
For example a M3 would be 0/9 ; where the 9 reflects all of your filters plus an optional layer of HEPA filters.
The left number again will change as each filter is scanned in.
To scan in, place your ladder in front of the control module so that you have easy access to the RFID “card reader.”
The RFID tags are the black round discs that are on the front of all filters.
One by one hold the filters (for that hood only) in front of the control module to scan in the RFID tag on each new filter. Listen for the beep when you scan them in.
Once you verified that they are all scanned in based on your hood size (M2, M3,
M4, M5), you may press OK to continue.

Step 5 – Remove control module & electrical cord set
If your application as it relates to step #3 is plugged directly into an outlet on the top of the hood, unplug it at this time.
Standing on a ladder, remove the left screw only on the top of the control module.
***Be prepared that the control module will be completely free when you remove the other screw.***
Next remove the screw to the right and hold the module up so it does not fall forward.
Now let the control module move forward slightly and then lift it straight up to free it from the lower bracket of the front mounting plate.
Once you have it off the bracket, have your helper hold it, allowing you to be free to remove the final connections:
Ethernet cable (if applicable)
Power cord (depending on your application)
Unplug the ethernet connection and remove it from the controller. If your controller is not hardwired into the electrical system and plugged directly into an outlet on the top left side of the hood you may now move on to the next step.
Otherwise if your controller is hardwired directly into your electrical system then you must continue with the rest of this step.
***Again at this point make sure all power supplied to the hood controller is turned off at the breaker.***
Next, disconnect the quick connect to remove the control module from the inlet power electric cord set.
Step 6 – Snake all remaining wires up through hood
Now snake the wires that you disconnected from step #4 through the hood as needed so that you can completely remove the controller from the super structure.

Step 11 – Snake the wires through the hood
Have your helper bring the control module back over to the hood holding the back of the controller up. Take this time to put the remaining wires up through the hood as needed.
You should have:
Light supply wire
Fan supply wire
Air tube
Temp sensor
Sash
Step 12 – Connect the electrical cord set to the control Module
If your controller is not hardwired into the electrical system and plugged directly into an outlet on the top of the hood you may now move on to the next step.
Otherwise if it is hardwired and you must continue to follow the rest of this step.
You should now have the power cord connected to the control module by reconnecting the quick electrical connector.
Step 13 – Attach the control module to the mounting plate
Take this time to first plug in your ethernet line into the back of the controller (if applicable). Next have your helper hand it to you. Line up the bottom holes of the control module to the small arms on the bottom of the front mounting plate.
Once you have it in their slots on the bracket, push the top back to line up the two screw holes.
***It is very important to have it lined up as the screws can cross thread very easily.****
This time, place the right screw in first followed by the left. Check that it is securely fastened on. Once you are sure that they are secure, proceed to the next step.

Step 14 – Connect all remaining wires
Now make your connections with the wires that you snaked to the technology earlier.
You should have:
Light supply wire from control module to light #1
Fan supply wire from control module to fan #1
Air tube from Control module to the “T” on fan #1
Temp sensor
Sash
Verify that all the connections are connected properly before you proceed on to the next step. Also make sure that none of the wires is in the way of any moving parts from the sash.
Step 15 – Turn power back on
If it was directly plugged into an outlet make sure that you plug it back in and then turn the power to the controller back on at the breaker.
Place a “Maintenance” card in the card reader.
It will say “Booting.” Check for updates and then load the OS. When it comes up it will be in alarm and you will see “hardware configuration mismatch 9A” on the screen because it does not recognize the new Electro (acid) sensor board.
You must now do a “reconfiguration” to accept the new sensor board. Follow the
“Reconfiguration Process” in Chapter 3 to fix this.
If you are still having issues after a “reconfigure” call Labconco Product Service about the issue.
Also please keep in mind that there is a “burn in period” to the sensor. Sometimes it can take 24 to even 48 hours to “burn in” the new sensor.

Sash Reduction Wing Kits
(for 100 fpm at 16")
Some installations require 100 fpm. The Protector Filtered Hood operates at 60 fpm at the 16" sash stop position. The accessory Sash Reduction Wing Kits allow the face velocity to be increased to 100 fpm at the same 16" sash stop position and act as an Airflow Regulating Side Shield. The Sash Reduction Wing Kits are hinged with detents to maintain open and closed positions. Open position is used for loading equipment and closed position is used for normal operation. An optional accessory airflow monitor is available for sash position alarms.
Alternatively to ordering the Sash Reduction Wing Kits, the end user can simply lower the 16" sash stop to the 10" sash stop position. Sash Reduction Wing Kits promote comfort for some users that prefer a 16" sash opening rather than a 10" sash opening.

Additional information that is needed to configure gGuard on-site
To set email notification, the user must provide the SMTP server address as well as the port #.
The IT at the user location assigns an IP address to each filtered fume hood.
The user designates a username and password for gGuard set up.
The user provides a name and location for each hood within the gGuard software.
The user scans the list of email alerts and selects the ones he/she wants to receive.

Appendix E: gGuard gGuard Recommendations
To ensure communication, Erlab recommends the following:
gGuard is installed on a PC provided by the user that is on the same network segment or subnet as the hoods themselves.
If the user PC is not on the same network segment or subnet then another PC should be installed by the user on the same subnet as the hoods in the lab.
Then 3rd party remote desktop software provided by user should be used to view that PC with gGuard installed from others on-site that want to view gGuard on the network.
The PC that has gGuard is configured to never sleep, standby or hibernate under the power options. This will ensure communication to receive every email alert from software.
If two or more people would like to receive email alerts then a group email address should be created by the IT on-site for those who want to get email alerts from the gGuard software.
If there is an internal Firewall, IT on-site allows FTP transmission through the firewall, specifically ports 21 and 23.
Static IP’s should be assigned to each hood by IT on-site.

Original instructions
Appendix E: gGuard
Presentation of the email notification in the gGuard Software
1/ how the communication between the computer (equipped with gGuard) and the
GFH works
Product Service 1-800-522-7658 137
Original instructions
Appendix E: gGuard
2/ Why is the communication not working?
If the computer equipped with the gGuard software is not able to communicate with the
GFH, on the main screen of gGuard, you may see red under the Hood Status. If this is the case there is usually one of four reasons why you cannot communicate.
1. You could be having network problems. Ask the IT staff on-site as there could be an outage, upgrade or repair taking place on the network. Please ask your IT representative.
2. The GFH lost its IP address information that was previously entered in the control module. A network device may have caused the GFH to not retain its IP information. At which case you must follow the Check GFH IP information.
3. The FTP server is locked. Your GFH control module acts as a FTP server and your PC with gGuard acts as a client. If some network device prematurely closed the FTP connection before the gGuard software was finished with the session the
FTP server can become locked. Follow the FTP server is locked procedure.
4. The network cable became compromised or unplugged from the control unit.
Especially if there was any maintenance, or service work done on or around the
GFH recently. Please check and reseat all connections.
To assist in determining which one is the problem, try these few things first from your PC.
At the command prompt try and ping the GFH in question that is not communicating on the “home page.” Start Run CMD now type ping <space> then the IP address of the hood that is not communicating.
You will see 4 packets sent and 4 packets received if it can communicate. You will see 4 packets sent and 0 received if it cannot communicate.
Based on your results you have one of the following problems. If you can receive the packets from the ping command then the FTP server is locked. It needs to be rebooted to unlock the server and restart communication. Follow the FTP server is locked procedure.
If it cannot receive any packets then you must check the GFH network parameters, the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. In which case you need to go to the hood with an
“administrator” card and follow check the GFH IP information procedure.
138 Product Service 1-800-522-7658
Original instructions
Appendix E: gGuard
Check the GFH IP information
With your Administration Card, in the “hood status” menu of the GFH concerned by this problem, check the IP Address, GW, and Subnet Mask to make sure it equals what you have in gGuard xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
and what is on your lab diagram.
If 0’s or not correct you must re-enter the IP information from your lab diagram to that specific hoods network parameters.
To do this go to the “Administration Menu” press “OK” to select it.
Then arrow down to “Network Parameters” press “OK” to select it.
On “Ethernet” press “OK” to select it.
Tip here select DHCP “Yes” then “No” to get the subnet mask to partially fill out if you have a static IP address.
Use the arrow keys to enter the IP information from your lab diagram. Once you are sure it is correct press “OK” to “save and exit.”
Now go back to the PC wit h gGuard and “double click” on the hood in question. Once the window opens to that hood press “F8” to force an immediate download of the file from the hood.
FTP Server is locked
If the IP information is correct but you still cannot communicate with the hood you must reboot the controller to unlock the FTP server.
To do this:
1. Press the light and fan icon on the controller and wait 30 seconds for it to turn off.
2. On the left side of the controller with the problem, pull out the black fuse cartridge just enough to see the first fuse and break the power connection.
3. Wait 30 seconds and then push it back in. You will see it say “Booting” then come up. Then turn the fans on with the “user” card.
4. After it is on, go to the computer with gGuard and “double click” on the hood in question. Once that window opens press “F8” to force an immediate download of the file from the hood.

Original instructions
Appendix E: gGuard
3/ why am I not able to receive email notification?
As described o n the diagram 1, the service called “Hood File Recovery” collects the data from the GFH every 30 seconds.
This service cannot get the information when:
GFH IP Address is not correct (between the IP Address entered in “network parameters” and the actual IP address on the network for that node) or communication lost (bad connection, router default…).
If the service is locked by the firewall (FTP access, we use the standard FTP ports 21 and 23 for communication).
If the hood is in reboot process (which can last 1 minute).
Only the last alarm event ON is sent by email. That means if 2 alarms are activated at the same time, only the second one sends an email. Also, if the alarm is activated and deactivated up to 30 seconds after the first activation, any alarm notification will not be sent (ex. sash too high but then lowered right away less than 30 seconds will not produce an email).

Appendix E: gGuard gGuard Installation
1. Insert disc in CD ROM drive, it should “Auto run.”
2. If it does not “Auto run” then you must go to Start My Computer then double click on the CD drive that has the gGuard disc in it.
3. It will now start to install, it scans the PC first to look for SQL Server 2005/2008. If that is not found it first asks you to install SQL Server 2005/2008. If this is the case follow the prompts and install it. Then it will resume the install of gGuard.
4. ****Note**** If when it resumes the install of gGuard it seems to take too long you must move the installation window down to reveal the other window that pops up that asks you to restart. You must hit “Ok” and it will then complete the install.
5. It then prompts you to this screen.
The name usually is the name of the user on the computer or the safety officer.

5. You need to order a power supply for the ETH1000 at the time of the initial purchase of the BACnet device. An additional power supply must also be ordered with for every ETH1000 that is needed for the job. The power supply requirements are listed on the ICC website for the ETH1000 and should also be

7. Each ETH1000 comes pre-configured with the maximum of 10 GFH. To configure the device onsite IT enters in the IP addresses of the GFH’s on-site and deletes all the connections that are not used. Delete all unused GFH connections starting from the last connection first. For example if there were 6
GFH onsite you would then delete 4, which is the unused GFH’s starting at the last connection. Also be sure to check “enable” on the GFH client and hit
“submit.”
8. Labconco provides the BACnet capability of the Protector Hood but it is up to the on-site IT to integrate the ETH1000 into their existing network using the documentation that comes with the device.
9. For all questions regarding the BACnet solution or the Protector Filtered Hood please contact Labconco.
BACnet checklist of additional information that is needed to configure device onsite
Unique instance number that can be used for ETH1000 (per each unit)
Unique name of each ETH1000 (per each unit)
IP address assigned to the ETH1000 itself (per each unit)
List of IP addresses for each FGH that is on-site
List of IP addresses of the GFH ’s to be assigned to each ETH1000 that is to be installed on-site
Recommendations
Labconco can offer some level of support to the customer to configure ETH1000 but, because of the specific parameters for each location it is the responsibility of the IT onsite to integrate it into their network. This will help ensure that a non-conflicting instance number or name will not be used by each ETH1000 that is installed.
Onsite IT should first reference the ETH1000 user’s manual as this is the ultimate reference for configuration. All configuration settings are provided in the documentation that comes with the device. Labconco provides the BACnet capability of the GFH but it is up to the IT on-site to configure their BOWs with the data objects they want to see.
***Labconco is not responsible if IT on-site gives a conflicting instance number or name to the ETH1000 that is used by another device. Labconco is not liable due to improper configuration on-site or lost data from other devices***

The ICC device (ETH-1000) is connected to the local network with a RJ45 cable as well as the GFH. It collects the data from all GFH from its own memory GFH client (preset by
Labconco onsite) and provides the information as objects. A list of objects provided by the device is in the product documentation. These objects can be collected by a BAS
Operating Workstation (BOW) according to its own protocol. BOW is then able to generate alarms and email notifications.

After you verify the filtered fume hood components, move your hood to the location where you want to install it. Then, follow the steps listed next to remove the separate shipping skids from the lower base and upper cabinet.
1.
Remove the side panels by unscrewing the Phillips screws.
2.
Find the hardware (bolts, washers, nuts) that attach the filtered fume hood to the skid and remove the hardware. Some hardware is on the sides and some is on the back.
Sash Weight Release
On Filtered Floor-Mounted Hood models with vertical-rising sashes, the sash weights have been secured to the shipping skid. Remove the weights from the skid and attach them to the respective sash cables using the hooks provided.
NOTE : THE SASH WEIGHT ITSELF WAS INDIVIDUALLY
MATCHED FOR THIS SPECIFIC FILTERED HOOD AND
SHOULD NOT BE EXCHANGED ON ANY OTHER UNIT.
Disassembly and Reassembly of the
Protector Echo Floor-Mounted Filtered
Hood
There may be some disassembly and reassembly work, due to the large physical size of your filtered hood and the ability to maneuver it into your laboratory. This is specific to each customer.
Lower Base Installation of the Protector
Echo Floor-Mounted Filtered Hood
The lower base features a panelized liner surrounded by an epoxy-coated steel and galvanized steel framework. Both the left and right side panels should be removed to allow for the correct placement of the lower cabinet assembly.
Temporarily remove both vertical-rising sashes shipped with the lower base (on vertical-rising sash models only). Position the lower base on a level floor surface.
Place the vertical-rising sashes back in place (on vertical-rising sash models only).
NOTE: If an optional floor surface is purchased, it should be positioned on the existing floor prior to placement of the lower cabinet installation. See Figure J-1.

Appendix J: Setting Up the Protector Echo Floor-Mount
Vertical-Rising Sash Installation for the 4',
5', 6', & 8' Protector Echo Floor-Mounted
Filtered Hoods
The Protector Echo Floor-Mounted Filtered Hood has two vertical-rising sashes.
The rear vertical-rising sash moves from the floor to full open and picks up the front vertical-rising sash, which travels from the midpoint to full open. The vertical rising sashes are shipped captured between the hood side frame assemblies of the lower base assembly. Both upper and lower sash tracks are attached to the side frames. The hood should be at a pre-assembled state with the top section bolted to the base, and the sashes still captured between the two side frames. Bring the sides back and adjust the sash tracks left and right to assure that each sash will work properly and tighten all hardware.
Now that the sashes are in place, the counterbalance weights must be installed.
The large single sheet metal sash weight is installed in the middle and attached to the lower rear sash. The two individual sash weights counterbalance the front vertical-rising sash; these weights have rollers and ride in the rear sash tracks that straddle the middle sheet metal sash weight. Install the rear weight tracks for the individual sash weights with the #10-24 screws and #10-24 KEPS nuts supplied.
See Figures J-2, J-3, and J-4. It is vitally important that the front upper and lower sash tracks are fully aligned and the strap plates are used to secure this alignment.
See Figure J-3 and Figure J-4. Once the sashes are aligned and operating freely, secure the lower base to the floor with sealant or fasteners. (Note: Hardware not supplied due to installation variables.) Securing the lower base will ensure the sashes will work freely.
As a last step, install the four rubber bumpers with #6 screws supplied. One set of rubber bumpers prevents the front upper sash from traveling too low. The second set of rubber bumpers prevent the rear lower sash from touching the floor and provides a good sweep of clean air across the floor. See Figure J-3.
