WARNING
READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS CAREFULLY
If your application involves flammable exhaust, you must use an Explosion-Proof Blower/Ventilator.
Contact Terra for more information.
If your hood is configured as an Exhaust Purification System, you must ensure that all toxic fumes have
been effectively filtered out of the exhaust before releasing it back into the work environment. Terra
recommends use of a toxic gas detector to monitor these fumes.
If your system functions as an exhaust ventilator but does not incorporate the purification filter, you can
direct hazardous exhaust from the ventilator outlet to your in-house exhaust system. You will need a
Flange Adapter Panel for this (contact Terra for assistance).
Make sure that your hood and filter housing are compatible with the fumes involved in your application!
Acrylic hoods are not designed for corrosive or flammable fumes. Static-Dissipative PVC hoods and filter
housings are safe with a wide range of chemicals that damage acrylic.
Activated carbon filters operate with varying efficiency on chemical vapors – thorough testing for
suitability is advised before operation.
Air speed and filter integrity must be monitored and tested frequently.
Terra Universal assumes no liability for damage or injury that may result as a consequence of improper
filter selection, use or testing.
NOTE
Terra Universal also offers toxic gas detection systems for testing the activated carbon filter for saturation.
