Connecting the Electrical Supply Source
to the Protector Fume Hood
Prior to connecting any electrical wiring to the fume hood structure, refer to the
hood identification plate for the proper electrical requirements of your specific
model.
WARNING
:
The building electrical supply system for
Protector XStream Hoods should include overload protection.
A switch or circuit breaker should be in close proximity to the
equipment and within easy reach of the operator. The switch
or circuit breaker is to be marked as the disconnecting device
for the equipment. Consult the NEC-2002 for proper
installation.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le système d’alimentation électrique de la
Hotte Protecteur doit inclure la protection contre la surcharge. Un
commutateur ou disjoncteur doit être tout près de l'équipement et
à portée facile de l'opérateur. Le commutateur ou le disjoncteur
doit être marqué comme l'appareil débranchant pour
l'équipement. Consulter le NEC-2002 pour une installation
correcte.
The identification plate, model number, serial number, and electrical connection
boxes are accessible from the front of the fume hood by removing the front panel.
The Protector XStream Hood is wired for 115 Volt, 50/60 Hz, 20 Amp or
230Volt, 50/60 Hz, 10 Amp electrical service. Check the I.D. plate behind the
front panel for voltage verification. The number of circuits varies depending on
the model. All of the electrical connections are terminated at the field wiring
terminal box for hook-up by a qualified electrician. We recommend each circuit
be a dedicated branch circuit. However, if wired together the maximum load
allowed is the sum of individual outlets plus the rating of the unit (i.e. 2 Amps).
The single point internal junction box is used for the connection of the lights,
blower, and duplex outlets. Refer to the wiring diagram for your Protector
XStream in
Appendix C: Protector XStream Fume Hood Specifications.
The fume hood is required to be grounded to the MAINS protective earthing ground
for safe operation. Using a ring terminal sized for a 10-24 machine screw, connect
the MAINS ground conductor to the grounding lug marked with the protective
earthing symbol,
. Only MAINS ground conductors should be connected to the
protective earthing ground lug, no other conductors should be connected to this
grounding lug. Using wire nuts connect the MAINS supply conductors to the fume
hood supply wires. Insure that the wires are connected as per the appropriate wire
color codes for the input voltage. For 115V Phase (Hot) is black and Neutral is
white, for 230V Phase1 is brown and Phase2 is blue. Refer to the wiring diagram for
your Protector XStream in
Appendix C: Protector XStream Specifications.
