Operating the Vertical-Rising Glass Sash
Because of the Protector Radioisotope Hood’s counterbalanced sash mechanism, it
will take only a few pounds of force to move the sash up or down, and you can
operate the sash smoothly with one or two hands positioned any where along the
handle. The glass sash is suitable for use with Perchloric acid. The vertical-rising
sash may be raised to a maximum 28" operating height. The airflow requirements
should be sized for the 28" operating height; if using sash stops then the airflow
requirements can be reduced by approximately 40% at 18" or approximately 50%
at 15".
Operating the Blower
Your Protector Fume Hood utilizes a remote style blower, which can be activated
by turning the blower switch to “ON.” You can validate the hood performance by
watching smoke drawn into the hood face opening.
Operating the Lights
Your Protector Fume Hood utilizes a factory-wired fluorescent light to illuminate
the hood interior. Simply turn the light switch to “ON” to operate.
Operating the Washdown Control Valve
Your Protector Radioisotope Fume Hood has a washdown control valve located on
the upper left-hand side that controls water to the washdown spray nozzles. The
nozzles are located behind the hood baffle and will washdown areas in the hood,
which are unaccessible without removing the baffle. The washdown control
system can also be set up to control the washdown rings used in your exhaust
