Two Opening Height Selection Automatic Sash Positioning System
for
Single Vertically Rising Sash Fume Hood
ASPS-SS-TH |
- With the mode switch in the “HALF OPEN” position the Automatic Sash Positioning System shall operate as follows:
- When a laboratory technician is sensed in front of the fume hood and the “Push to Open” button is activated the fume hood shall open in less than 3 seconds to a safe working height of 18 inches above countertop ±1 inch (specify for installation).
- Once the sash has risen, the laboratory technician shall be able to manually move the sash to a higher or lower position without releasing any type of sash locks.
- Once NO moving objects are sensed in front of the fume hood, the control module shall delay 60 seconds (adjustable), then slowly close the sash in less than 10 seconds.
- During sash closure, if an object is sensed in the path of the sash, the amber light illuminates and the sash stops without making contact with the object. When a laboratory technician is sensed in front of the hood and the “Push to Open” button is activated the sash will re-open allowing the removal of the object.
- Upon power or instrument air failure the sash shall be manually movable.
- With the mode switch in the “FULL OPEN” position the Automatic Sash Positioning System shall operate as follows:
- When a laboratory technician is sensed in front of the fume hood and the “Push to Open” button is activated the fume hood shall open in less than 5 seconds to the full sash opening positioning.
- Once the sash has risen, the laboratory technician shall be able to manually move the sash to a lower position without releasing any type of sash locks.
- Once NO moving objects are sensed in front of the fume hood, the control module shall delay 60 seconds (adjustable), then slowly close the sash in less than 15 seconds.
- During sash closure, if an object is sensed in the path of the sash, the amber light illuminates and the sash stops without making contact with the object. When a laboratory technician is sensed in front of the hood and the “Push to Open” button is activated the sash will re-open allowing the removal of the object.
- Upon power or instrument air failure the sash shall be manually movable.
