Initial Operation
Prior to use with evidence, you should perform the following operational tests to
ensure the cabinet is operating properly:
Airflow Smoke Pattern Test
With the cabinet fan ON, introduce smoke (from a cigarette,
chemical smoke stick, etc.) into the prefilter at the bottom of the
door. The smoke should flow directly into the cabinet, and then into
the upper prefilter located at the top of the cabinet liner. The smoke
should move from the door to the intake prefilter in approximately 5
seconds or less. If the smoke does not flow as described, see the
“Adjusting the Fan Speed” section of Chapter 6.
UV Light and Interlock Tests
With the door closed, turn the “Fan/UV Light” switch to “UV” and
the “UV Security Keylock to “ON”. The UV light will then turn on.
Open the door, and the UV light will turn off. Close the door, and
the UV light should relight. Turn the UV Security Keylock to the
“OFF” position, and the UV light will turn off. If the UV light does
not work as described, call Labconco’s Product Service Department
at 1-800-522-7658 or 816-333-8811.
Spray Gun and Drain Pump and Tests (Model # 34000-10 thru -14,
34040-10 thru 34040-14 & 34050-10 thru -14 only)
Open the cabinet door, and ensure that the drain strainer is in place.
Open the lower door, and turn the cabinet water supply valve on.
Use the spray gun in the “Shower” setting, ensuring proper
operation. Turn the gun and cabinet supply valve off. Push the
control switch to the “Drain Pump” position. The majority of water
should be pumped out of the cabinet and to the floor drain. Some
water may remain in the bottom of the cabinet due to surface
tension or the floor not being level. In this case, use a small
squeegee or sponge to direct the remaining water to the drain. Shut
off the drain pump when finished.
