1 hour increment programming:
1. Press and hold the pushbutton of the device you want to program.
2. In about 3 seconds you will hear a short ‘beep’. Continue to hold the pushbutton. In about an
additional 3 seconds you will hear a longer ‘beep’. This indicates that you have turned the device ON,
are in the programming mode for the device, and have programmed it to turn OFF in 1 hour. Release
the pushbutton.
3. Each subsequent press of the device pushbutton while in the programming mode will add 1 hour to
the Delay Off time. (e.g. pressing the pushbutton 3 additional times would set the delay to 4 hours, 1
hour initially plus 3 x 1 hour additional delay times).
4. The device control will remain in the programming mode for about 4 seconds if the pushbutton is not
pressed.
5. Once the programming mode for the device has ended the device can be turned OFF normally, if
desired, by pressing the device pushbutton.
6. The programmed device will turn OFF automatically at the end of the Delay Time.
7. Each time a programmed device is turned off manually or automatically the programming is cleared
and must be reentered, if desired.
Start-up Procedure
1. If the cabinet has not been left running continuously, turn on the blower. An indicator light located below the
switch will illuminate when the switch is on. Listen for the sound of the cabinet blower running. Check the
readings on the Magnehelic gauge, it should read a pressure consistent with the last time the cabinet was on.
2. Turn on the fluorescent light. The fluorescent light will not operate unless the Cabinet Blower is On.
3. Check to determine that the drain valve is in the closed position or the drain coupling is capped.
4. Wipe down the interior area of the cabinet with surface disinfectant. NOTE: Some disinfectants, such as
bleach or iodine, may corrode or stain the steel surfaces. Good practice is to thoroughly clean the
surface afterward with a detergent and rinse with sterile water to prevent corrosion.
5. Place all materials to be used for the next procedure inside the cabinet on the solid work surface. Disinfect
the exterior of these materials prior to placing them on the work surface. Everything required (and
nothing more) should be placed in the cabinet before beginning your work so that nothing passes in or out
through the air barrier, until the procedure is completed. Implements should be arranged in the cabinet’s work
area in logical order so that clean and dirty materials are segregated, preferably on opposite sides of the work
area. Blocking the front and rear perforated grilles must be avoided. If wipes or absorbent towels are used on
the work surface, be sure to keep them away from the grilles.
6. After your equipment is in place inside the cabinet, adjust the sliding viewscreen so it is open to the correct
opening height (8”or 10” [203.2 or 254mm]). An alarm will signal if you are not at the proper opening. This
is important to maintain proper cabinet airflow.
7. You can begin working in the cabinet after it has run for at least three minutes with the viewscreen in the
proper position.
Working in the Cabinet
1. Hands and arms should be washed thoroughly with germicidal soap both before and after work in the cabinet.
Operators are encouraged to wear long-sleeved gowns or lab coats with tight-fitting cuffs and sterile gloves.
This minimizes the shedding of skin flora into the work area and protects hands and arms from contamination.
2. Perform all work on the depressed area of the solid work surface. Work with a limited number of slow
