The

Open-Loop Filtration Module

provides safe indoor exhausting, removing
particulates, aerosols, spores, and other
contaminants to ensure a clean process
environment. This configuration includes a 460-
CFM impeller blower, mounted in a plexiglass
housing, that forces air into the glove box
through an inlet HEPA filter (rated 99.99%
efficient at 0.3 micron particles).A HEPA exhaust
filter removes contaminants from the outflowing
air to ensure that air exiting the system is safe for
indoor release.Both filters are enclosed in a
disposable plexiglass housing to ensure safe
handling and disposal at replacement time.See
Catalog No. 105 for additional information.

Glove Box Ports

The front panel of these glove boxes features 8" flanged arm ports that allow easy connection of Terra’s Changeable Sleeve and
Glove Combination, which feature flexible accordion sleeves and gloves made of natural latex for easy manipulation of objects
inside the chamber.The convoluted sleeve sections promote air circulation around an operator’s arm, resist collapsing due to
pressure inside the chamber, and prevent blowback when a hand is removed.

Changeable Sleeve and Glove Combination

These accordion sleeves fit into the ports of Terra’s glove boxes and atmospheric chambers for safe, easy handling of materials.
They can be used with a variety of gloves, allowing you to change glove size or type without changing the sleeve itself. Supplied
with one pair of tempered latex industrial gloves (select desired size).

Clamps included. See Terra’s complete line of gloves at www.Terrauniversal.com.

Glove Port Covers

This optional feature allows you to seal the system and then remove gloves for cleaning or change-out—while maintaining the
integrity of the internal glove box environment. The hinged port covers lie flat on the glove box floor when not in use.

Air Locks

Air Locks can be mounted on either side of the chamber to provide a safe, practical way of moving materials into and out of the
work area. Materials are loaded into the air lock by means of an external door; an operator then opens an internal door inside the
glove box to bring materials into the work area. Each air lock features its own gas inlet, system pressure, and an Automatic RB
Valve port in case your application requires air lock purging. The Standard Air Lock can be used with the Series 100 or Series 200
Glove Boxes. The Pass-Thru and Universal Air Locks are for the Series 100 only. The Negative-Pressure Air Lock and Vacuum
Antechamber are for the Series 200 only.

Ionizing Equipment

An optional ionizing bar and power supply can be used with the Series 100 Glove Box to neutralize the static charges in the
work area.

3.0 Installation

(see Appendix for instructions on attaching gloves)

For a Glove Box with a Flowmeter:

Make sure that the flowmeter is securely installed near the top of the cabinet. Flowmeters are generally mounted before shipping.
To install a flowmeter yourself, use Terra’s fitting kit no. 1600-56, which includes a brass male connector (positioned at the
flowmeter inlet, directly behind the flow adjustment knob, for connection to the incoming gas line) and a hex nipple (which secures
the flowmeter to the “Gas In” port through the glove box wall).

Set the flowmeter between 5 – 20 SCFH (depending on glove box size and purge requirements). Nitrogen line pressure should be
regulated no higher than 70psi.
