Section 3 - Installation
3.1 Location
Locate the cabinet on a firm level surface in an area of minimum temperature changes.
The cabinet should be placed away from disruptive air currents caused by excessive personnel
traffic, air-conditioning or heating ductwork, or laboratory windows and doors. Proper cabinet
location is important, as drafts disrupt critical airflow characteristics and allow room
contaminants to enter or escape the cabinet work area.
Where space permits, fourteen inches should be allowed on each side of the cabinet for
maintenance. A twelve inch height should be available from the top of the cabinet to the ceiling.
3.2 Power Connection
The electrical wall outlet(s) leading to the cabinet should be accessible for electrical
testing.
This cabinet is equipped with two power cords, one for the internal blower motor and
lights, the other for the duplex utility outlets. The cords should be plugged into separate circuits,
so if the duplex outlets overload, the cabinet itself will not shut down.
Refer to Section 9 or to the data plate on the front of the unit for electrical
specifications.
3.3 Plumbing Connection
Two service valves are standard with each cabinet and are located on the right and left
side of the work station. All service valves are piped within the cabinet. External connection is to
3/8" FPT coupling. Identification index buttons are supplied.
The cabinet will accommodate six service valves. The additional four service valves may
be purchased from Forma Scientific, Inc.
CAUTION! Explosive/flammable substances should never be used in the cabinet, unless
approved and monitored by a biological safety officer or other qualified individual.
