    Congratulations on the purchase of a Labconco Protector Evidence Drying Cabinet. The cabinet is designed to protect you, and the room environment from biohazardous aerosols and offensive odors while drying evidence. The Protector Series cabinet is the result of years of experience in manufacturing laboratory equipment, and users like you suggested many of its features to us.

  • Page 6: Chapter 2: Prerequisites

    Before you install the evidence drying cabinet, you need to plan the site for installation. Examine the location where you intend to install the cabinet. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a source of electrical power must be located near the installation site.

  • Page 17 The Protector Evidence Drying Cabinet operates using the following principles:  Directional airflow.  Prefiltration of large particulates by an inlet prefilter (in the door) and an exhaust prefilter (in the top of the liner).  Filtration and retention of particulates by a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter.

  • Page 18: Chapter 4: Performance Features And Safety Precautions

    Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Directional Airflow Directional airflow plays a critical role in evidence drying cabinet performance. Air is drawn into the inlet prefilter, located on the bottom of the door. The filtered air then flows upward through the liner, passing over the evidence to be dried. Before leaving the liner, the air then passes through the exhaust prefilter, that is designed to protect the HEPA filter from large particulates, and may be removed to examine it for the collection of evidence.

  • Page 19: Optional Evidence Prefilters

    Note: The HEPA filter media is very fragile. DO NOT touch the media. If you think the media of a HEPA filter is damaged, DO NOT USE THE CABINET. Call Labconco’s Product Service Department at 1-800-522-7658 or 816-333-8811. Note: HEPA Filters are only effective against particulate material. Gases will pass through the filter.

  • Page 20: Blower

    Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Blower The blower assembly pulls room air into the intake prefilter on the front of the door, through the liner and exhaust prefilter, and then forces it through the HEPA and granular activated carbon filter. The evidence drying cabinet uses a motorized, backward curved fan for quiet, energy efficient operation.

  • Page 21: Safety Precautions

    Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Safety Precautions Wash Down Models (Model # 34000-10 thru -14, 34040-10 thru - 14 & 34050-10 thru -14 only): DO NOT directly connect the drain line to a sewer, drain system or place in a vertical standpipe.
  • Page 22 Avoid puncturing the HEPA filter during installation or normal operation. If you suspect that a HEPA filter has been damaged, DO NOT use the cabinet; contact Labconco at 800-821-5525 or 816-333-8811 for further information. The HEPA filters in the cabinet will gradually accumulate airborne particulate matter from the items placed in the cabinet.
