Aeromax™

 Control System Power 

 

After the LabGard® ES NU-540E is plugged into the appropriate facility line power the control system will power 

up.  

The control panel will also indicate the power up status by blinking the red alarm LED.  Pressing any key will 

 

acknowledge the  power up status and turn off the blinking red alarm LED. 

 
 

If a power interruption occurs, all control system functions, calibrations and parameters will be maintained and 

 

continue upon restoration of power. Just as the initial power up, the red alarm LED will blink to indicate power up 

 

status. 

 

6.1.4 

Standby Mode

Any time the blower run key is pressed with the sliding window at its correct operational height, the RUN MODE 
screen will be initiated.  The Run Mode will start with the

Once the warm up period is complete, only one LED will indicate cabinet airflow status. 
 
During the warm up period the aseptic cleaning process may begin.  If the sliding window is raised, an audible and 
visual alarm will occur, but may be silenced by pressing the alarm silence key. 

 

6.1.6 

Nite Care Mode 

The NU-540E may be configured to allow the DC ECM motor to continue to run at a lower rate with the sliding 
window closed allowing the workzone interior to be continually HEPA filtered.  If the Nite Care mode is configured, 
the blower must be on (green LED above blower key will blink) and the window closed for it to be activated.  Once 
activated, blower LED indicator will blink fast and the 

PresurFlow™

 will indicate 3 Green LED indicators will blink.  

In addition, the fluorescent light will be disabled. The UV light may be turned on if installed.

Standby/Run Mode Alarms 

If present, standby/run mode alarms will be both visual and audible, the red alarm LED oval will turn on. Audible 
alarms will produce an alarm tone for 30 seconds, then ring back for 2 seconds of every 5 seconds.  Pressing the 
alarm silence key will silence the audible alarm for 15 minutes initially then will start the ring back function again
