Padded Bypass Armrest
The Armrest pad is made out of EPDM sponge material which is resistant to most chemicals as well as UV
exposure. The pad is held in place with an adhesive and can be easily removed for cleaning. It can also be
autoclaved. When the view screen is fully closed, the perforated armrest provides an air bypass that allows air
to continue to enter the front Work Surface perforations. This helps minimize noise.
UniPressure™ Plenum
The telescoping positive pressure plenum provides a more even clamping force on the HEPA filter frames and
provides more uniform down flow air.
Motor/Blower Assembly
The motor and blower are built as a single assembly in order to minimize vibration.
Air Pressure Gauge
The cabinet has an analog air pressure gauge which displays the cabinet’s negative static pressure.
The displayed value during operation should remain consistent with the recorded value in the most recent
certification report. However if drastic change is noted, this should be cause for investigating the reason.
This device is not intended to be used for air flow set-point verification.
Cable Port
One cable port is located in the cabinet’s right side wall. Cable ports provide a safe means of introducing power
and/or data cables, siphoning tubes, etc. into the work area of the cabinet without having to use the front view
screen access opening. A sealing plug is provided for each port, for use when the port is not required or when
the cabinet is being decontaminated.
Additional cable ports are available in either left or right side walls.
ReadySAFE™ Mode
The “ReadySAFE™ Mode” is a feature that reduces the total airflow and energy consumption when the cabinet
is not being used. Operation of the cabinet in “ReadySAFE™ Mode” maintains personnel, product and
environmental protection.
Power/Processor Fault Alarm
The Power/Processor Fault Alarm provides a visual and audible alarm when the system experiences a power
outage or the microprocessor/controller has a fault.
