Alarm Circuits – 3.2
There are three standard alarm circuits on the BioMAT 1 Re-circulating and Exhaust type Safety
Cabinets.
1. INFLOW LOW ALARM
Sensed by an accurate pressure sensor mounted on the main printed circuit board and
connected via tubing to the sensing points within the cabinet body, this will sense low airflow
caused by fan failure or filter soiling, and transmit the signal to the display meter on the front
panel and alarm circuit. In the event the alarm is triggered the display will show `LOW
AIRFLOW`, and the audible alarm will sound, this can be muted using the alarm mute button.
2.
INFLOW HIGH ALARM
Sensed by an accurate pressure sensor mounted on the main printed circuit board and
connected via tubing to the sensing points within the cabinet body, this will sense high airflow
and transmit the signal to the display meter on the front panel and alarm circuit. In the event
the alarm is triggered the display will show `HIGH AIRFLOW`, and the audible alarm will sound,
this can be muted using the alarm mute button.
3.
FRONT SCREEN
Front screen position is monitored by a micro-switch fitted to the front screen
assembly. When opened the display will show `VISOR OPEN’ and an audible alarm will sound.
This can be muted using the alarm mute button.
** The alarm circuit is activated each time the cabinet is switched on.
It is important to ensure that the pressure tubing is not damaged or split where it is connected
to the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor, in the event of inadequate airflow in either part
of the system, will cause the alarm circuit to be activated with a flashing red indicator on the
alarm mute button, an intermittent audible alarm tone, and the alarm system will clearly show
on the display the fault. The audible alarm tone can be silenced by depressing the ‘alarm
mute’ button on the control panel after which the red light will remain continuously lit until
the correct airflow is reinstated or the cabinet is switched off.
