GENERAL OPERATION
The main on/off switch is located on the right hand side near the top of the
cabinet. When first turned on the LCD control panel will be displayed
providing operator instructions for cabinet use. The cabinet can be put into
standby mode by pressing the key. When in standby mode the fan, lights
and control system are turned off. Normal operation can be resumed by
touching the screen. An ECO mode can be activated (see page 13) which
turns off the lights if no activity is seen inside the cabinet for a time period set
in the supervisor settings (see page 13). Normal operation is resumed by
touching the screen. If the cabinet is not to be used for several days the
cabinet can be turned off at the main on/off switch if preferred.

CONTROL SYSTEM
The cabinet is controlled and monitored by a microprocessor with an LCD
touch screen. The touch screen provides the operator with general
information about the cabinet and displays the current laminar velocity and
differential pressure across the HEPA filter. Control of light level, fan speed
and other operating settings are all accessed via a menu system. The control
system is factory set to maintain the following parameters:
Normal airflow velocity: 0.40m/sec.
Low airflow alarm: 0.30m/sec.
These settings can be changed by a Monmouth engineer. Please contact
Monmouth Scientific for further advice.
START-UP
When first turned on the screen below is displayed

LAMINAR AIRFLOW
The microprocessor controls the fan speed to compensate for filter blockage.
The airflow velocity is continuously monitored and displayed. The value will
fluctuate slightly during normal operation, this is normal and is an indication
that the fan is under microprocessor control. If preferred the units displayed
can be changed to ft/min. in the Supervisor Settings (see page 13)

SECTION 4
MAINTENANCE
The cabinet should be isolated from the electricity supply before
carrying out any maintenance procedures.
FUSES
The main fuses are located in the mains inlet socket on the top of the cabinet.
Remove the mains lead and withdraw the fuses using a small screwdriver.
Always replace with the correct type and rating – 5A Type T. The electrical
socket is protected by 5A Type T fuse located adjacent to the socket outlet.
LED LIGHTING
The high efficiency, low voltage LED light tubes are fitted to the inside of the
enclosure. They should provide many years of service without requiring
replacement. Spare tubes are available from Monmouth Scientific and have
the following part numbers:
Care should be taken to ensure the tubes are fitted in the correct orientation
with the red+ marking on the tube aligning with red mark on the fitting.
PRE-FILTER(S)
This is located on top of the cabinet and can be changed by removing the two
thumbscrews on the securing frame. Monmouth Pre-Filter part No: K-PF0022
The replacement filter should be DOP tested prior to use and the
airflow and alarm re-calibrated if necessary.
