2 INSTALLATION
2.A INSTRUCTIONS AND CHECKS ON DELIVERY
Considering the critical nature of the use of the CytoFAST Top cabinet and the need to keep it in optimum
condition, installation is very important.
CytoFAST Top Biohazard cabinets are positioned on a pallet, wrapped in an extensible film and contained in
a package of multi-layer strapped cardboard.
After placing the cabinet in its site of use, opened the package and removed the extensible film, check that
the equipment has not suffered any dents or scratches due to transport or improper handling of the package.
In case of any further transport, packing and storage by the user after the initial period of use (e.g.: change
of laboratory or factory), contact the technical assistance service or the distributor for more accurate and
precise instructions or for assistance by specialized technicians.
2.B INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Install the cabinet away from drafts and heat sources (radiators, ventilators/convectors), to ensure proper
functioning. For instance, in a small room (<30 m
3
), if an exhaust duct is used to discharge air outside the
building, we recommend the installation of a grill in the room in order to provide an air supply equal at least to
the quantity entering the front of the cabinet to create the protective barrier and a negative pressure in the
work area.
- Install the cabinet in a well-ventilated room with a low degree of dust.
- The distance between the cabinet and the exhaust system should be as short as possible.
- Place the cabinet away from doors and windows, which may cause malfunctions
- Place the cabinet in places where there is little human traffic.
- The exhaust system should be installed on the roof or on a wall or through a window. Otherwise, it can be
connected to a chimney.
- The door of the room should be in such a position relative to the cabinet as to prevent drafts.
- The door of the room should be in such a position relative to the cabinet as to prevent drafts.

It is recommended that the exhaust duct, located on top of the cabinet, should be connected to the outside of
the building. In this case an anti-blowback shutter should also be installed on the exhaust flange.
The max. length of the
∅
200mm exhaust duct should not exceed 10m. Otherwise changes must be made in
the extraction fan or a remote exhaust motor-fan must be installed. The anti-blowback system prevents air
from flowing back into the extraction channel.
Before connecting the cabinet to the mains power supply, check the necessary voltage and power indicated
on the plate near the power cable. The room must be equipped with an earth connection and connections to
the gas and/or vacuum networks, and an air exhaust duct must be installed outside the building.
For the connection to the gas and/or vacuum networks, read carefully chapter 2C.
