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 air flow 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, with a minimum of six inches on the right side of the cabinet for control
panel clearance. 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 one power cord supplying power to the blower, lights
and receptacles. The cord should be plugged into a dedicated circuit.
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.
Explosive/flammable substances should never be used in
the cabinet, unless approved and monitored by a biological
safety officer or other qualified individual.
