Chapter 1:

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco XPert

®

Filtered Balance System

or XPert

®

Filtered Balance Station. Your enclosure provides personnel protection

through superior containment while conserving energy at OSHA approved
velocities as low as 60 feet per minute. It is the result of Labconco’s more than 50
years of experience in manufacturing fume hoods and more than 30 years of
experience in manufacturing filtered enclosures.

These enclosures will effectively contain toxic or noxious particulates when
properly installed and operated. Each enclosure uses a single HEPA filter, which
is rated at least 99.99% efficient for 0.3-micron particles. Additionally, an
accessory Odor Control carbon filter may be added to adsorb nuisance odors from
organic vapors, formaldehyde or ammonia and amines. The XPert filtered
enclosures offer many unique features to enhance safety, performance, and energy
savings. To take full advantage of them, please acquaint yourself with this manual
and keep it handy for future reference. If you are unfamiliar with how high
performance HEPA filtered enclosures operate, please review Chapter 4: High
Performance Features and Safety Precautions before you begin working in the
enclosure. Even if you are an experienced user, please review Chapter 5: Using
Your HEPA Filtered Enclosure, which describes the XPert features so that you can
use the filtered enclosure efficiently. For weighing hazardous and nuisance
powders, Labconco recommends the purchase of the XPert Filtered Balance
System or XPert Filtered Balance Station. Both XPert filtered enclosures include a
true bag-in/bag-out HEPA filter to properly protect personnel during filter
changing operations. See chart below and contact Labconco for additional
ordering information.
