The yellow indicator light below the switch will light when the UV light is turned on.   This unit is 
also capable of regulating the amount of time the UV light stays on which is determined by the 
operator.  This function is very useful if the cabinet is to be left unattended for an extended period 
of time.  To enable the timer, make sure the viewscreen is fully closed and the UV lamp is off.  
Depress the UV keypad switch and hold for 3 seconds.  The alarm will pulse twice to signify that 
the timer mode has been entered.  Release the switch.  Immediately after, each press and release of 
the switch will program the timer to elapse one hour. (one pulse equals one hour, four pulses 
equals four hours, ect.)  If no pulse is detected from the operator after four seconds, the timer 
begins to elapse automatically.  The timer can be disabled at any time during or after the timing 
sequence by pressing the UV keypad or opening the viewscreen. 

 

 

Fluorescent Light On/Off – This switch controls operation of the fluorescent light. 

The cabinet 

blower must be on for the fluorescent light to operate. 

A blue indicator light located below the 

switch will illuminate when the switch is on. 

 

Duplex Outlets On/Off – This switch controls the duplex outlets in the work area. A blue indicator 
light located below the switch will illuminate when the switch is on. 

 

Blower On/Off – This switch controls the power to the cabinet blower. A green indicator light 
located below the switch will illuminate when the switch is on. 

 

Alarm mute/Sash level alarm – For normal operation, the viewscreen must be placed at the allowable 
opening of 8” [203.2mm]. The sash alarm will be activated whenever the viewscreen is at a 
potentially unsafe position. To mute the audible alarm, press the alarm mute button. The indicator 
light located below the switch will continue to flash. After five minutes, if the conditions persist, the 
alarm will sound again to remind you to reposition the viewscreen to its proper level. You may press 
the alarm reset switch again to mute the audible alarm for an additional five minutes. 

 

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 and the running blower will make an audible 
sound. 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 UV light is turned off. 
Never leave the UV light on while there is anyone in the room, unless viewscreen is fully closed. 

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 a surface disinfectant. 

Note: Some disinfectants, 

such as bleach or iodine, may corrode or stain the steel surfaces. Good practice is to 
thoroughly clean the surfaces 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 worksurface. 

Disinfect the exterior of these materials prior to placing them on the worksurface. 

Everything 

required (and nothing more) should be placed in the cabinet before beginning work so that nothing
