Alarm
When the low pressure alarm sounds, corrective action must be performed or the unit will require shut down to
stop the alarm. Alarms are tested at the factory before shipping. Dramatic drops in pressure indicating possible
containment failure are alarmed. Alarms will sound when operating work area pressures are between –0.03 and
+0.03 inches water column (w.c.). Normal work area pressures are 0.1 (+0.025) inches w.c. in either positive or
negative overall pressures.
