Chapter 3: Getting Started
Verifying HEPA Filter Integrity
The HEPA filter is shipped installed with the gasket on the
downstream side. The HEPA filter is leak checked at Labconco.
A second leak check is recommended before using the enclosure
and at least annually thereafter. Consult your Safety Officer and
Chapter 6 for the HEPA Filter Leak Test. See Figure 4-2 for
HEPA filter location, HEPA filter gasket, and filter clamp bolts.
All seams downstream of the HEPA filter are jacketed by positive
pressure. This intrinsically safe design ensures Class 5 conditions
and a particulate free environment for PCR experiments.

Connecting the Electrical Supply
Source to the Filtered PCR
Enclosure
115V Models
Simply connect the 115V power cord supplied to the IEC electrical
supply plug on the back of the enclosure. If using at 50 Hz
operations, blower performance maximum airflow will be reduced
by 17%.
230V Models
The 230V is shipped without a plug. Install the appropriate plug
for your electrical specifications per local codes.
