1.3 Installation Conditions and Operating Environment

Laminar Flow Cabinet shall be placed in the protective area of an air stream, and the working area of the Laminar Flow Cabinet cannot be right opposite to the door or window, and should be away from the air outlet of air conditioner to prevent the air flow from the ventilation system, air conditioning, door, window and personnel movement may cause airflow impact on the LAF.
At least 300mm gap must be kept in each side of the Laminar Air Flow for inspection.
Working environment:
(1) Only applicable for indoor operation
(2) Ambient temperature: 15° C~35° C
(3) Relative Humidity: ≤75%;
(4) Atmospheric pressure range: 70 kPa~106 kPa;
(5) Electrical parameters: Adequate power supply to the laminar flow cabinet (See 2.1.4 Technical Parameters);
(6) Power supply need to be grounded; (Judging method: Test the live wire and the neutral wire of the socket with multimeter. The voltage between live and ground should equal to the voltage of local electrical grid, and the voltage between neutral and ground should equal to 0. Otherwise the power supply is not grounded correctly).

1.4 Installation

2.1 Functions

2.1.1 Product Concept
Laminar Flow Cabinet – LAF Cabinet is only for sample protection.
Laminar Flow Cabinet is a work bench or similar enclosure, which creates a particles-free working environment by taking air though a filtration system and exhausting it across a work surface in a laminar or unidirectional air stream. The laminar flow cabinet is enclosed on the sides and kept under constant positive pressure in order to prevent the infiltration of contaminated room air. BLVR-303 is vertical type Laminar Flow Cabinet.

b. Soft touch buttons
Laminar flow cabinet’s main functions are executed by touch-buttons.
“Light” is lighting button, which control the working state of the LED light. Each press results state of lighting lamp once and brightness level of lighting lamp exchange between bright and dark on the control panel. That is “LIGHT” change from appear to disappear or from disappear to appear. (This key is invalid when sterilization key is open)
“UV” is ultraviolet button, which control the working state of the ultraviolet lamp. Every press will result state of UV lamp once and brightness level of UV lamp exchange between bright and dark. That is “UV” change from appear to disappear or from disappear to appear. (This key is invalid when the Lighting key and Fans key is open)
“FANS” is blower control button, which control the working state of blower. Every press will exchange the working state once and brightness level of Fans exchange between bright and dark. (This key is invalid when the Ultraviolet key is open)
The blower airflow increase button(”∧” “∨”): When the blower is operating, press button “∧” to increase the wind speed: press button “∨” to decrease the wind speed.
6) Fuse
The cabinet is equipped with main power fuse. Fuse label is corresponding to the relevant specifications, please refer to 3.5.1 Fuse Label. And refer to 3.2 Replacement of Fuse when replace it.
7) Structure
a) Cabinet body is made up of 1.2mm cold-rolled steel with anti-bacteria powder coating. The structural strength and stability are enhanced.
b) Work table is made up of 304 stainless steel which provides corrosion resistance as well as attractive appearance.
c) Base stand is made up of cold-rolled steel with anti-bacteria powder coating.
d) Control panel with soft touch buttons is user-friendly and multifunctional.

2.3 Instructions for Operation

2.3.1 Normal Operation Notice
1) Make sure input voltage is correct and stable. The rated load of main power socket should be higher than laminar flow cabinet consumption. Plug must be well grounded;
2) Moving principles of different samples inside cabinet: When two or more samples need to be moved in, be sure that low-polluting samples should be moved first then high-polluting samples. Movement of items should also follow the principles of moving slowly and steadily.
3) The weight of items placed in the cabinet should not be more than 23Kg/25×25cm2;
4) Avoid vibration: avoid using vibration equipment (eg centrifuges, vortex oscillator, etc.) inside the cabinet. Vibration would cause lower cleanliness of operating area and affect operator protection.
5) NO FLAME: No flame is allowed inside the Laminar flow cabinet. Using of fire will lead to airflow disorder, and filter damage. If sterilization is required during the experiment, infrared sterilizer is highly recommended.
6) HEPA filter life: With the usage time increasing, dust and bacteria accumulate inside HEPA filter. Filter Resistance is getting bigger, when it reaches the maximum point, the speed requirements can’t be met. Then need contact Biolab service department to get a new one. The used filter should be processed as medical waste.
7) The fan and its underside is mute bellows, which is sealed strictly in the factory. The operator is not allowed to remove or loose screws of those parts. If necessary, please contact service personal or agent.
8) The maximum storage period is one year. If the period is more than one year, performance test should be done.
Serious declaration:

NOTE: Biolab WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RISK OR DAMAGE ARISING FAILURE DURING USAGE BY UNTRAINED OPERATOR AND MISHANDLING THE LAF. THE OPERATOR OF THE LAMINAR FLOW CABINET SHOULD BE TRAINED ENOUGH BEFORE USING THE LAF.
2.3.2 Operation Process
a) Connect to a suitable power supply
b) Press relevant buttons and check if work normally(functions and operations, pls kindly refer to the instruction of 2.2.2); Checking the fan, UV lamp and LED lamp if work normally, the air velocity if meet standard requirements.
c) The cabinet should be sterilized by UV lamp for at least 30 minutes with the window fully closed before any experiment.

NOTE:
1) For safety of eyes and skin, people should leave the room during UV sterilization.
2) UV lamp should be checked regularly. It should be replaced when either the total working time reaches 600 hours or the intensity is lower than the requirement.
d) Please move up the front window to proper height above the work table and turn on the blower. Make sure the experiment should be started after fan working for at least 30 minutes.
For operating safety, please put testing materials inside the cabinet in advance.
After finishing the experiment, please fully close the front window and make sure to sterilize the cabinet by UV lamp for at least 30 minutes before turning off the cabinet.

2.4 Daily Maintenance
