Captair Smart

Having carefully followed the steps described in the installation guide, your Captair Smart 

fume hood is now ready to use.

The power switch is located at the back of the control panel

Note: we recommend never turning off the main device power switch after the machine as 

been started for the first time.

The button on the control panel turns on the fan and the lights.

The green indicator light and LED light system should come on.

We also recommend verifying the operating parameters before each new use.

Filter breakthrough sensor (Molecode option) :

Default settings when the sensor has not been set in our factory:

- Solvents (S type): medium

- Acids (A type): medium

- Formaldehyde (F type): medium

To modify settings, please access the administrator interface.
