Original instructions
Exhaust Requirements
If you intend to connect the biosafety cabinet to the optional Ventus TM
Canopy Connection Kit, first examine the location to ensure that it
accommodates the cabinet’s exhaust duct. The area directly above the
cabinet’s exhaust port should be clear of structural elements, water and utility
lines, or other fixed obstructions. There should be enough clearance to
accommodate a 10-inch diameter duct. Avoid cabinet locations that require
an elbow directly above the cabinet’s exhaust connection or an excessive
number of elbows in the exhaust system. For further information about the
cabinet’s exhaust system requirements, please refer to Chapter 3: Getting
Started.

Note: A dedicated outlet with an appropriate circuit breaker should be
located as close as possible to the right rear side of the cabinet, at a
height even with, or higher than, the top of the bench or stand. Consult
your local electrical codes for properly rated circuit breakers. For safe
operation the dedicated outlet must provide the protective earthing
ground connection to the cabinet.
Note: On 100 and 115 VAC models, both electrical outlets are protected by a
ground fault interrupter circuit (GFIC). Labconco does not recommend
plugging the biosafety cabinet into a GFIC outlet.
