Sash Operation
The counterbalanced, anti-racking sash mechanism requires only a few pounds of force
to move the sash up or down. You can open or close the sash smoothly with one or two
hands positioned on either handle.
The sash position alarm and safety interlock system senses the sash position and acts
appropriately. The cabinet has been programmed to operate at either an 8-inch (203
mm) or 10-inch (254 mm) sash opening, depending on the model. Raising the sash
above or below its operating height will activate the audible and visual alarms. The
audible alarm can be temporarily muted for approximately five minutes by pressing the
[OK/MUTE] button on the Keypad. Moving the sash back to its operating position will
reset the alarm. The safety interlock system senses when the sash is closed and allows
the optional UV lamp to operate only when the sash is closed, to protect the operator
from irradiation.
Blower Operation
The Axiom Type C1 biosafety cabinet can be configured to automatically turn on the
internal blowers. If this feature is enabled, raising the sash from closed to operating
height will automatically turn on the blowers. If this feature is not enabled, raise the
sash to operating height, and press [BLOWER]. Either method will start the blowers,
and the Blower Starting screen will appear for approximately 1 minute.
If the product is configured to operate in B-mode, and the building’s exhaust system is
not pulling the required volume of exhaust air through the exhaust housing, you will first
see Exhaust Airflow Check before Blower Starting appears. If the building exhaust
system does not reach the required minimum volume of airflow within 1 minute, an
alarm will occur.
Light Operation
The Axiom Type C1 biosafety cabinet provides dual LED lamps for illuminating the work
surface. The cabinet can be configured to automatically turn on the LED lighting. If this
feature is enabled, raising the sash from closed to operating height will automatically
turn on the LED lighting. If this feature is not enabled, raise the sash to operating
height, and press [LIGHT]. Either method will illuminate the LED lighting.
Outlet Operation
The Axiom Type C1 biosafety cabinet provides two GFIC outlets with a maximum total
amperage draw of 5A (115v models) or 3A (230v models). Power to the outlets can be
