PROPER CABINET USE
Your ChemoSHIELD
®
is a valuable supplement to good aseptic technique, but is not a replacement for it.
If the cabinet is not understood and operated correctly as defined in this manual it will not
provide an adequate protective barrier for personnel or product.
All activities that are to be performed in your cabinet should first be approved by a competent
professional, such as an industrial hygienist or safety officer, to make sure that the cabinet is appropriate for
the work it will be required to do. This person should monitor the cabinet and its operating personnel at
regular intervals to see that it is being used correctly.
In order to keep the interior workspace clean and free of particulates, Your ChemoSHIELD
®
is designed
for continuous operation. Therefore it is recommended that the exhaust system be left on at all times.
Operator Controls
The operator controls and indicators are arranged on the front electrical panel of the cabinet.
1 - Light On/Off Switch
This switch controls operation of the fluorescent lights. The indicator light on the switch will
illuminate when the fluorescent lights are turned on.
2 - Auxiliary (“AUX”) Switch (Optional)
This switch is available for wiring to a building exhaust system fan/blower so that it can be turned
on/off from the cabinet, if required. The indicator light on the switch will illuminate when the auxiliary
switch is turned on.
3 - Duplex Outlet Switch
This switch is used for turning on/off the duplex outlets. The indicator light on the switch will
illuminate when the outlets are turned on.
4 - Hydraulic Lift (Optional)
The Hydraulic Lift has a momentary rocker switch to control the UP and DOWN motion of the lift.
The maximum and minimum limits of travel are controlled by limit switches on the lift system.
