5.0 Installation Instructions
5.1 Location
Within the laboratory, workspace, etc., the ideal location of the NU-608 is away from personnel traffic lanes, air
vents (in or out), doors and/or any other source of disruptive air currents.
SUGGESTED CABINET LOCATION IN LABORATORY
If drafts or other disruptive air currents exceed the intake velocity of the cabinet through the access opening,
the potential exists for contaminated air to exit the cabinet. It depends on the severity of the air current.
Remember, a containment hood is not a substitute for good laboratory technique.
For proper cabinet ventilation, the rear of the NU-608 should be placed no closer than 6 inches (152mm) from
the wall or any object that would impede the exhaust air. The airflow monitor will, however, alert the operator
if insufficient air is being exhausted (or work access inflow velocity).
5.2 Set-Up Instructions
Step 1: Remove from pallet and install casters and safety angles.
Step 2: The charcoal filter is protected from sorption during shipment by a plastic covering, which must be
removed before the unit will function properly (see Section 7.3 for filter removal).
5.3 Electrical Services
The NU-608 is provided with a detachable power cord. The station requires 230 VAC, single phase
power and is recommended to be on its own branch circuit, protected with a 15 Amp circuit breaker
at the distribution panel.
Only use Power Cord provided or one with same ratings.
