The identification plate, model number, serial number, and electrical connection boxes are accessible from the front of the fume hood by removing the front panel.

The Protector Radioisotope Hood is normally wired for 115 Volt, 50/60 Hz, 20

Amp or 230Volt, 50/60 Hz, 10 Amp electrical service. Check the I.D. plate behind the front panel for voltage verification. The number of circuits varies depending on the model. All of the electrical connections are terminated at the field wiring terminal box for hook-up by a qualified electrician. We recommend each circuit be a dedicated branch circuit. However, if wired together the maximum load allowed is the sum of individual outlets plus the rating of the unit (i.e. 2 Amps remote, 8 Amps integral blower) not to exceed the 10A or 20A electrical service.

The single point internal junction box is used for the connection of the lights, blower, and duplex outlets. Refer to the wiring diagram for your Protector

Radioisotope in Appendix C: Protector Radioisotope Specifications.

The fume hood is required to be grounded to the MAINS protective earthing ground for safe operation. Using a ring terminal sized for a 10-24 machine screw, connect the

MAINS ground conductor to the grounding lug marked with the protective earthing symbol, . Only MAINS ground conductors should be connected to the protective earthing ground lug, no other conductors should be connected to this grounding lug.

Using wire nuts connect the MAINS supply conductors to the fume hood supply wires. Insure that the wires are connected as per the appropriate wire color codes for the input voltage. For 115V Phase (Hot) is black and Neutral is white, for 230V

Phase1 is brown and Phase2 is blue. Refer to the wiring diagram for your Protector

Sealing the Protector Hood to the Work

Surface

When the hood has been set in place, ducted, wired, and plumbed, it should be sealed to the hardboard work top. Materials such as silicone sealants are recommended to seal the hood structure.

Certifying the Protector Radioisotope

Fume Hood

The combination of your laboratory hood, exhaust ductwork, and exhaust blower 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 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.

NOTE: Face velocity profiles and smoke testing should be done

Performance Features

The Protector Radioisotope Laboratory Hood has been engineered to provide you the maximum in work area and personal safety. The by-pass air configuration on the Radioisotope Fume Hood is totally dependent on air being supplied to the hood from its surrounding environment for proper operation.

The hood itself is designed to handle radiochemical operations of all types. The hood liner should be decontaminated manually by the operator. Water washdown or flooding the surface with water is standard practice and results in about 50% reduction of contamination on the 304 stainless steel liner material. A secondary means of surface decontamination involves the use of organic solvents that can result in reductions of contamination of up to 75%.

Even though the stainless steel seams are smooth to the touch, there are microscopic voids within the surface in which radioactive particles can lodge and are not easily removed by the above mentioned surface decontamination procedures. Abrasion decontamination, which consists of sanding and/or scouring may be required to dislodge these particles from your hood liner.

Radioisotope materials are, in essence, high-energy particles with different levels of intensity. These levels are, alpha, beta, and gamma. Radioactive particles do not just simply strike a barrier and bounce off, but rather are absorbed by the barrier and physical decomposition on the molecular level can occur. In the case of the alpha and some lower level beta radiation particles, human skin can act as an effective barrier to this radiation without damage to the underlying tissues.

Chapter 4: Performance Features & Safety Precautions

However, in the case of inhalation, low-level emitters can attack inner organ tissues posing a health hazard. Therefore, it is very important in cases even where these low level type emitters are being used that effective sources of ventilation be provided.

The radioisotope hood’s stainless steel liner material is intended for use with alpha particles, which are least hazardous, and for most beta type particles, which have a slightly higher mass and consequently feature a higher velocity requiring more shielding than the alpha particles. The gamma emitter particles have no mass but an extremely high velocity. Therefore, they are not easily absorbed and are not normally used within this hood enclosure unless it has been properly lined with lead blocks and a lead glass sash assembly. Consult with your company safety officer for additional safety procedures dealing with your specific materials, before operating this hood.

1. Unique sash provides maximum visibility of 37.5" high while

conserving energy by limiting sash travel to 28". Vertical-rising sash may be raised from a closed to 28" operating height. Exhaust volume and blower sizing are based on the 28" height. Optional sash stops are available to limit sash height and reduce energy usage. The Perchloric

Acid Hood has a glass sash specifically used for Perchloric Acid.

2. By-pass airflow design ensures relatively stable face velocities.

3. Large usable interior work depth and interior height of 48" provides ample working space.

4. Baffle directs airflow to the rear of the interior to provide efficient airflow.

Operating the Vertical-Rising Glass Sash

Because of the Protector Radioisotope Hood’s 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 any where along the handle. The glass sash is suitable for use with Perchloric acid. The vertical-rising sash may be raised to a maximum 28" operating height. The airflow requirements should be sized for the 28" operating height; if using sash stops then the airflow requirements can be reduced by approximately 40% at 18" or approximately 50% at 15".

Operating the Blower

Your Protector Fume Hood utilizes a remote style blower, which can be activated by turning the blower switch to “ON.” You can validate the hood performance by watching smoke drawn into the hood face opening.

Operating the Lights

Your Protector Fume Hood utilizes a factory-wired fluorescent light to illuminate the hood interior. Simply turn the light switch to “ON” to operate.

Operating the Washdown Control Valve

Your Protector Radioisotope Fume Hood has a washdown control valve located on the upper left-hand side that controls water to the washdown spray nozzles. The nozzles are located behind the hood baffle and will washdown areas in the hood, which are unaccessible without removing the baffle. The washdown control system can also be set up to control the washdown rings used in your exhaust ductwork. This is done by connecting the water line to the plugged connection on

Environmental Conditions

• Indoor use only.

• Maximum altitude: 10,000 feet (3,048 meters).

• Ambient temperature range: 41° to 104°F (5° to 40°C).

• Maximum relative humidity: 80% for temperatures up to 88°F (31°C), decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 104°F (40°C).

• Main supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed ±10% of the nominal voltage.

• Transient over-voltages according to Installation Categories II (Overvoltage Categories per IEC 1010). Temporary voltage spikes on the AC input line that may be as high as 1500V for 115V models and 2500V for

230V models are allowed.

• Used in an environment of Pollution degrees 2 (i.e., where normally only non-conductive atmospheres are present). Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected, in accordance with IEC 664.
