Logic Filter Life Gauge Operation and Resetting for
Local Conditions
The filter life gauge calculates the remaining filter life by measuring and comparing the current
motor speed to the initial speed noted at the factory during assembly, and the calculated
maximum motor speed, using the formula:

100-(100x (current speed-original speed) ) = % filter life left


max. speed-original speed

So anything that changes the motor’s current speed, like:


9 Blocking the grille.
9 Raising the air temperature.
9 Lowering the barometric pressure.

will increase the motor’s speed, causing the Filter Life Gauge to decrease. Electronic dampening
of the gauge will limit the change in readings to approximately 1%/minute.

Logic Biosafety Cabinets being installed at altitudes or operating at temperatures significantly


different from those at the time of manufacture (900 +/- 500 ft above sea level, 75o +/- 5o F)
must have their filter life gauge recalibrated for local conditions. Failure to do so will result in the
users noticing a steady drop in Percent (%) Filter Life remaining as the unit operates. Below are
the instructions on how to correct the Filter Life Gauge for local conditions.

1. Ensure to correct all measurement equipment for local conditions (temperature,


absolute pressure). Anemometers may not have this ability and might have to be
done manually; whereas, a ShortRidgeTM instrument has a setting to correct for
local conditions.
2. As the elevation or the ambient temperature rises, the motor power factor will
have to be reduced to compensate. For an initial certification, the motor speed
should be reduced until it equals the Logic’s “Initial Motor Speed” as reported on
the unit’s test sheet, plus approximately 10-15 RPM per each additional 1000 feet
of elevation.
3. The Logic MUST be recertified using instruments corrected for local conditions.
4. When the unit is recertified, and operating properly, the certifier MUST RESET
THE FILTER LIFE GAUGE, INDICATING A NEW FILTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED.
5. Only by performing Step #4 AFTER THE UNIT IS READJUSTED AND
RECERTIFIED FOR ITS LOCAL CONDITION, will the filter life gauge register
100% (+/- 2%) during operation. As the Filters then load, the filter life gauge
will then begin to drop as appropriate.

Canopy Specifications
8. The 1st generation canopy was manufactured from 2007 to mid-2009. It is characterized
by thin slots on both the front and back of the connection, no sealing gasket on
the bottom, and no relief valve on the side wall(s) of the canopy. The canopy
operating specifications are established by measuring the inflow volume of the
Logic, and the total system exhaust volume.
9. The 2nd generation canopy was introduced in mid-2009. It is characterized by a single
wide slot on the front of the connection, a black foam sealing gasket on the
bottom, and 1 or 2 relief valve(s) on the side walls of the canopy. The canopy
operating specifications are established by measuring the inflow volume of the
Logic, and the inflow velocity at the slot of the canopy.
10. The average inflow slot velocity of the canopy is measured at the three spots, all on
horizontal centerline of the slot. Test points are located at the vertical center,
and at points 2 inches from each end of the slot.

Logic Filter Life Gauge Operation and Resetting for Local Conditions

The filter life gauge calculates the remaining filter life by measuring and comparing the current
motor speed to the initial speed noted at the factory during assembly, and the calculated
maximum motor speed, using the formula:

100-(100x (current speed-original speed) ) = % filter life left


max. speed-original speed

So anything that changes the motor’s current speed, like:


9 Blocking the grille.
9 Raising the air temperature.
9 Lowering the barometric pressure.

will increase the motor’s speed, causing the Filter Life Gauge to decrease. Electronic dampening
of the gauge will limit the change in readings to approximately 1%/minute. Logic Biosafety
Cabinets being installed at altitudes or operating at temperatures significantly different from
those at the time of manufacture (900 +/- 500 ft above sea level, 75o +/- 5o F) must have their
filter life gauge recalibrated for local conditions. Failure to do so will result in the users noticing a
steady drop in Percent (%) Filter Life remaining as the unit operates. Below are the instructions
on how to correct the Filter Life Gauge for local conditions.

1. Ensure to correct all measurement equipment for local conditions (temperature,


absolute pressure). Anemometers may not have this ability and might have to be
done manually; whereas, a ShortRidgeTM instrument has a setting to correct for
local conditions.
2. As the elevation or the ambient temperature rises, the motor power factor will
have to be reduced to compensate. For an initial certification, the motor speed
should be reduced until it equals the Logic’s “Initial Motor Speed” as reported on
the unit’s test sheet, plus approximately 10-15 RPM per each additional 1000 feet
of elevation.
3. The Logic MUST be recertified, using instruments corrected for local conditions.
4. When the unit is recertified, and operating properly, the certifier MUST RESET
THE FILTER LIFE GAUGE, INDICATING A NEW FILTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED.
5. Only by performing Step #4 AFTER THE UNIT IS READJUSTED AND
RECERTIFIED FOR ITS LOCAL CONDITION, will the filter life gauge register
100% (+/- 2%) during operation. As the Filters then load, the filter life gauge
will then begin to drop as appropriate.

Page 26 of 197
9. The 2nd generation canopy was introduced in mid-2009. It is characterized by a single
wide slot on the front of the connection, a black foam sealing gasket on the bottom, and
1 or 2 relief valve(s) on the side walls of the canopy. The canopy operating specifications
are established by measuring the inflow volume of the Logic, and the inflow velocity at
the slot of the canopy.

10. The average inflow slot velocity of the canopy is measured at the three spots, all on
horizontal centerline of the slot. Test points are located at the vertical center, and at
points 2 inches from each end of the slot.

Logic Filter Life Gauge Operation and Resetting for Local Conditions

The filter life gauge calculates the remaining filter life by measuring and comparing the current
motor speed to the initial speed noted at the factory during assembly, and the calculated
maximum motor speed, using the formula:

100-(100x (current speed-original speed) ) = % filter life left


max. speed-original speed

So anything that changes the motor’s current speed, like:


9 Blocking the grille.
9 Raising the air temperature.
9 Lowering the barometric pressure.

will increase the motor’s speed, causing the Filter Life Gauge to decrease. Electronic dampening
of the gauge will limit the change in readings to approximately 1%/minute.

Logic Biosafety Cabinets being installed at altitudes or operating at temperatures significantly


different from those at the time of manufacture (900 +/- 500 ft above sea level, 75o +/- 5o F)
must have their filter life gauge recalibrated for local conditions. Failure to do so will result in the
users noticing a steady drop in Percent (%) Filter Life remaining as the unit operates. Below are
parameters which will instruct the Certifier how to correct the Filter Life Gauge for local
conditions.

1. Ensure to correct all measurement equipment for local conditions (temperature,


absolute pressure). Anemometers may not have this ability and might have to be
done manually; whereas, a ShortRidgeTM instrument has a setting to correct for
local conditions.
2. As the elevation or the ambient temperature rises, the motor power factor will
have to be reduced to compensate. For an initial certification, the motor speed
should be reduced until it equals the Logic’s “Initial Motor Speed” as reported on
the unit’s test sheet, plus approximately 10-15 RPM per each additional 1000 feet
of elevation.
3. The Logic MUST be recertified using instruments corrected for local conditions.
4. When the unit is recertified, and operating properly, the certifier MUST RESET
THE FILTER LIFE GAUGE, INDICATING A NEW FILTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED.
5. Only by performing Step #4 AFTER THE UNIT IS READJUSTED AND
RECERTIFIED FOR ITS LOCAL CONDITION, will the filter life gauge register
100% (+/- 2%) during operation. As the Filters then load, the filter life gauge
will then begin to drop as appropriate.

All Logic Type A2 cabinets meet the airflow


requirements of ANSI/NSF Standard 49:2007.
Approximately 55-60% of the air in the cabinet
is filtered and recirculated, while 40-45% is
filtered and exhausted. ALL Logics feature
intrinsically safe designs, jacketing
contaminated positive pressure areas with
negative pressure zones.

ECM Motor
The modern Class II Biosafety Cabinet was developed in the early 1960’s as a result of
the increased availability of High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter technology. The
motor of choice at the time to drive the cabinet’s blower was the Permanent Split
Capacitor (PSC) type. At the time, the PSC motor offered manufacturers an inexpensive
power source whose speed could be electronically controlled to allow for airflow
adjustment as the HEPA filter(s) loaded.

The PSC motor is known as an induction type, for stationary windings (stator) surround
a rotating part (rotor) composed of iron or steel. As current passes through the stator
windings, it induces a magnetic field in the rotor, causing it to rotate towards the
shifting field in the stator. Because a magnetic field must be induced in the rotor, the
PSC motor is asynchronous, with the rotor constantly lagging behind the fields being
created in the stator. As a result of this asynchronous operation, the PSC motor is
inefficient, and generates high amounts of waste heat. Attempting to control the blower
speed by reducing its voltage only increases the inefficiency of the PSC motor.

DC motors are more efficient than their AC counterparts. In a typical DC motor, the
stator in an AC motor is replaced with permanent magnets. The rotor then has a series
of windings around it. When current is applied to the motor, a magnetic field is created
in some of the windings of the rotor, causing it to rotate toward the magnetic field
created by the permanent magnets. Brushes in contact with a commutator allow the
current, and thus the magnetic field in the rotor to progressively shift from winding to
winding, forcing the rotor to keep rotating.

The greatest drawback of brushed DC motors is the brushes-they wear themselves and
the commutator down, eventually causing motor failure.

With the development of greater microprocessor power in the 1970s and 80s, the stage
was set for an even more efficient type of DC motor – the Electronically Commutated
Motor (ECM).

Figure 2-3
In the ECM, the magnets and windings switch
position – the permanent magnet is on the rotor, and
the series of windings are placed around the rotor.
The microprocessor precisely controls the creation of
magnetic fields in the stator, so that the rotor is
always synchronous with the magnetic fields being
created in the stator. As a result, the ECM will always
run more efficiently and cooler than a comparable
PSC motor. Because of the simple, robust
construction of the ECM, it offers far greater
reliability and operational service life than the PSC motor.

Controlling the motor’s operation with a microprocessor adds numerous advantages.


Motor speed can be efficiently controlled across a speed range that would damage or

Page 33 of 197
destroy a PSC motor. Given enough microprocessor memory and power, the
manufacturer can program in any number of user-selected programs controlling motor
speed, power and even direction of rotation. The ultimate expression of the power of
the ECM was the development of the constant volume algorithm, by General Electric,
and used in the Logic BSC. By testing a prototype model to a variety of airflows and
filter pressures, the motor/blower can be “characterized” for that size cabinet. This
characterization allows for the creation of a model-specific motor-blower curve. By
programming the curve values into the motor during assembly, the motor will deliver the
correct volume of air as the HEPA filters load.

Electronics
The Logic utilizes two microprocessors. The first is part of the ECM motor, attached to
end of the motor housing, as shown in Figure 2-4. This processor controls motor
operation, and communication with the display board. The second is located on the
control board, located on the right side wall, as shown in Figure 2-5. It controls the
display and its interface to the touchpad.

Section Three –
Installation Requirements and Setup
Procedures
This section offers an overview of site requirements and how to prepare the unit for
operation.

Space Requirements
The dimensions for the different models are shown in Section 11: Miscellaneous.

Clearance
Logics not connected to an exhaust system should have at least six inches (150 mm)
clearance from any overhead obstructions when the cabinet is in its final operating
position, to allow for testing of the Exhaust HEPA filter. A clearance of at least 6 inches
(150 mm) should be maintained on both sides of the cabinet, as well as 12 inches
behind the unit, to allow for service operations if necessary.

Location Requirements
Note: The Purifier should be located away from traffic patterns, doors, fans, ventilation
registers, fume hoods and any other air-handling device that could disrupt its airflow
patterns. All windows in the room should be closed. Figure 3-1 shows the preferred
location for the Purifier. The preferred location is perpendicular to the door, to minimize
the effect of opening and closing the door on the performance of the cabinet.

Figure 3-1
Preferred location

Alternate location

Page 36 of 197
Exhaust Requirements
If the customer intends to connect the Purifier to the optional canopy connection kit,
first examine the location to ensure that it is compatible with 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 allow for the passage of a 10" diameter duct. Avoid cabinet locations that
require either an elbow directly on top of the cabinet’s exhaust connection or an
excessive number of elbows to clear other items. For a further discussion of the
cabinet’s exhaust system requirements, please go to Section 9: Accessories.

3460810-19 100 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 16 Amps
3460820-29 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 8 Amps

All Purifiers with model numbers ending in –00 to –09 are designed for operation at 115
volts 60Hz, alternating current. Purifiers with model numbers ending in -10 to -19 are
designed for operation at 100 Volts, 50/60 Hz, alternating current, while –20 to –29 are
designed for operation at 230 +/- 20 volts, 50/60 Hz alternating current. A dedicated
outlet with a circuit breaker rated at 20 amps should be located as close as possible to
the right rear side of the cabinet, at a height even with, or higher than, the bottom of
the cabinet in its final location.
Note: Both electrical outlets of the 115 volt Purifier are protected by a ground fault
interrupter circuit (GFIC). Labconco does not recommend plugging the Purifier into a
GFIC outlet.

Page 37 of 197
Service Line Requirements
All service lines to the Purifier should be ¼ inch outside diameter, metal, and equipped
with an easily accessible shut-off valve, should disconnection be required. If the service
line pressure exceeds 100 PSI, it must be equipped with a pressure regulator to reduce
the line pressure.

Connecting Service Valves to Flammable Materials


Note: The use of flammable gases or solvents should be avoided in the Purifier. Open
flames in the cabinet will disrupt the laminar airflow in the cabinet and may damage the
HEPA filters. Flammable gases or solvents may reach explosive concentrations in the
cabinet or ductwork. If the customer feels that their procedure requires the use of an
open flame or flammable materials have them contact their institution’s safety office.

Connecting Service Valves to High Pressure Service


The use of air or gases under high pressure should be avoided as they may seriously
disrupt the airflow patterns in the cabinet.

Unpacking the Logic


Remove the carton by using a sharp box knife to cut the bottom edge of the carton at
the pallet. Lift the carton straight off of the Logic. Carefully cut away the plastic shrink
wrap from the Biosafety cabinet.

Moving the Logic


Do NOT remove the Logic from its shipping pallet until it is as close as possible to its
final location. This will minimize the possibility of damaging the cabinet while it is being
transported.
Move the unit by using a floor jack, or a furniture dolly underneath the unit. DO NOT
move the cabinet by tilting it onto a hand truck.
After you verify the Purifier model, move the cabinet to its final location.

Installing the Purifier on an Existing Work Surface


Note: The Purifier is very top heavy. Use caution when lifting or moving it.
Note: The Purifiers weigh from 400 to 700 pounds. Always use safe lifting
practices when picking it up.
When installing the Purifier onto an existing work surface or benchtop, ensure that the
structure can safely support the combined weight of the cabinet and any related
equipment. The work surface should be at least as wide as the unit and 31 inches deep
to properly support the unit.
The work surface should be smooth and durable. The surface should be nonporous and
resistant to the disinfectants and chemicals used in conjunction with the Purifier. This
will allow a proper seal to form between the bottom of the Purifier and the work surface.
A hole or notch may need to be cut in some work surfaces in the right front corner to
accommodate the drain valve.

Installing the Purifier on a Labconco Base Stand


Labconco offers a variety of accessory base stands in a number of configurations to suit
the user’s particular needs. Stands can be ordered with preset telescoping legs or, with
a manually or electrically adjustable hydraulic lift stand.

Page 40 of 197
Telescoping Base Stands
These stands are available with either fixed feet or casters. The height of these stands
is set before installation of the Logic. The height can be set at 27.5 to 33.5 inches in 1-
inch intervals, providing a work surface height of 30.0 to 36.0 inches. The Base Stands
for each Logic model are listed in Table 3-2 below.

Table 3-2

5' 3830500 3830510
6' 3730600 3730610

1. Before positioning the Telescoping Base Stand in its final location, adjust the final
height of the stand. A part bag containing the mounting bolts for the Purifier is
strapped to the base stand. Remove and save it.
2. Select the height of the stand and slide four (4) leg extensions into base stand
corner posts and attach with 2 ¼ inch long bolt, flatwasher, lockwasher and nut.
Ensure that the same height hole is selected for each leg. Tighten the leg bolts
securely. See Figure 3-3.

Figure 3-3

Page 41 of 197
3. Move the base stand into its final location. Using a carpenter’s level, adjust each
leveling foot until the stand is level in both planes as shown in Figure 3-4. You are now
ready to lift the Purifier onto its stand.

Figure 3-4

Manual or Electric Hydraulic Lift Base Stands


These base stands offer infinitely adjustable height between 25.5 and 33.5 inches,
giving a work surface height of 28.0 to 36.0 inches. The height is adjusted either by a
manual (hand crank) or electric pump that drives hydraulic rams in the legs of the
stands. All of the hydraulic stands are equipped with fixed feet, but can be converted to
casters with the addition of Caster Wheel Kit #3784000. The Base Stands for each
Logic model is listed in Table 3-3 below.

Note: When installing the hydraulic lift base stand, ensure that the hydraulic lines and
the electrical cord are clear of any obstructions before installing the cabinet on the stand
or operating the lift system.

Page 42 of 197
Connecting the Purifier to Service Lines
The service lines (if any) should be connected to the tube fitting(s) on the outside of the
liner wall as shown in Figure 3-5. To install the tubing, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the tubing is ¼ inch outside diameter, soft metal, and that the end has
been deburred completely.
2. Route the tubing from the rear of the cabinet, ensuring that it will line up with the
slot in the back of the side panel.
Note: The tubing can also be routed from the bottom or the top of the cabinet if
preferred.
Note: Make sure that the tube routing will not contact any electrical wires. Ensure that
the tubing will not interfere with the sash weight when the sash is raised or lowered.
3. Make sure that the nut on the tube fitting is loose, but do not remove it. Look inside
the fitting to make sure the tube ferrule is there.
4. Push the tube into the fitting until it is properly seated. The tube will go
approximately ¾ inch into the fitting.
5. Tighten the tube fitting nut hand tight and then, using a 7/16-inch wrench, tighten it
at least ¾ turn more.
6. Close the service valve in the Purifier and then slowly open the shutoff valve on the
service valve. Inspect all fittings for leakage. Tighten the tube nut slightly if
needed.

Type A2 Optional Exhaust System Connections
Unless specially modified by Labconco at the customer’s request, all Type A2 Purifier
Logic Series Biosafety Cabinets are shipped to recirculate their HEPA filtered exhaust air
back into the laboratory.
Certain applications such as working with odorous products or volatile toxic materials
will require the connection of the Purifier to an exhaust system.
Note: The canopy connection, also referred to as a thimble or air gap connection,
allows single or multiple biohazard cabinets to be connected to an exhaust system.
During operation, the exhaust system draws all of the cabinet’s exhaust air, plus a
volume of room air (through the slots in the canopy) into the exhaust duct. Canopy
connections function as a “shock absorber” allowing the system to function properly
during changes in room air pressure.
For information on selecting a canopy connection, go to Section 9: Logic Accessories.

Type B2 Exhaust System Connections


Note: The LogicTotal Exhaust Biosafety Cabinet is designed to be connected to an
appropriate exhaust system. Do not attempt to operate it when it is not connected to
an appropriate exhaust system.

The exhaust connection is a sealed exhaust system from the top of the cabinet to the
remote blower. The exhaust systems should be dedicated to a single cabinet. The
cabinet is equipped with an exhaust flow alarm, such that an alarm sounds, and the
cabinet blower shuts off in the event of insufficient exhaust flow.

Exhaust System Requirements


NOTE: THE EXHAUST BLOWER CANNOT RUN AT ITS NOMINAL FLOW RATE WITH THE
SASH COMPLETELY CLOSED. IF YOU CHOOSE TO CLOSE THE SASH COMPLETELY TO
USE THE UV LIGHT FOR SURFACE DISINFECTION, THEN THE EXHAUST BLOWER MUST
BE SHUT OFF, OR ITS FLOW RATE REDUCED 90% OR MORE FOR PROPER OPERATION.
THE LOGIC CONTROL BOARD HAS DRY CONTACTS THAT CAN BE CONFIGURED TO
SIGNAL THE EXHAUST BLOWER TO TURN ON WHEN THE LOGIC BLOWER IS ON. FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT LABCONCO’S PRODUCT SERVICE DEPARTMENT.
AS AN ALTERNATIVE, A REMOTE ELECTRICAL SWITCH FOR THE EXHAUST BLOWER
CAN BE INSTALLED NEAR THE LOGIC.

The cabinet exhaust stack is sized to accept 10-inch stainless steel ductwork. The
exhaust system’s blower should be sized to handle the exhaust volume of each cabinet,
as shown in the Type B2 QuickCharts. The exhaust system must maintain a static
pressure equal to or greater than the system pressure, plus 1.4 inches of water for the
Logic cabinet. In order to get the maximum life out of the cabinet’s exhaust filter, the
system needs to be able to operate at an additional 2.0 inches of vacuum, compared to
the initial total system pressure.

Drain Valve Installation (optional)
In order to prevent damage during shipping, the drain valve assembly has not been
installed in the unit. If desired, the valve should be installed after the unit is in its final
location.
To install the valve assembly, follow these steps:
Note: The work surface is heavy. Use caution when handling it.
1. Lift the work surface out of the Purifier by lifting on the knobs at the front of the
work surface. Steady the work surface while pulling it straight out of the cabinet.
2. Using a putty knife, remove and discard the stainless steel cover that is sealed over
the drain mounting holes. Scrape out remaining sealant that is around the holes.
3. Apply a light coating of the silicone sealant (user supplied) to the mounting surface
of the drain assembly. Attach the drain assembly under the bottom of the cabinet as
shown in Figure 3-6. Wipe off any excess sealant from the cabinet bottom. Ensure
that the center drain hole is unobstructed.
4. Make sure the drain valve is in the closed position.
5. Reinstall the work surface.
6. Allow the silicone sealant to cure for at least eight hours before exposing it to liquid.

Figure 3-6

NOTE: The drain valve assembly


attaches to the underside of the cabinet
bottom.

Apply a light coat of silicone sealant to


this surface of the connector, aligning
the three holes in the connector with the
three holes in the Purifier liner.

level. The center’s display is divided into three separate areas, as shown in Figure 4-2,
below.
Figure 4-2

Status Area

Data Area

Icon Area

Status Area
The Status area displays the system status during operation. This line can display any of
the following messages:
OK
The motor is operating properly, and the sash is not open too far.

Sash is too high


The sash is open too far for proper operation.

Airflow Alert
The airflow patterns of the cabinet have been changed, resulting in a sudden
change in the motor speed. This is most likely due to a blockage of the grille or the
exhaust filter outlet. It may also be caused by removal of the work surface while the
cabinet is in operation.

System Error
The motor and display circuit board are not communicating properly. DO NOT USE
THE CABINET UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED.

Page 47 of 197
Data Area
The Data Area displays the Filter Gauge. This bar graph displays the remaining filter life
in percent. When the cabinet is new, or after the HEPA filters are replaced, the graph
will be full, or display 100%. As the filters load, or if the grille or exhaust discharge are
blocked, the bar graph will show a reduced filter life.
The graph is user-selectable as a bar graph with percentage displayed, a bar graph only,
or a semi-circular graph showing filter life remaining.
When the optional airflow sensor is installed and calibrated, the inflow and calculated
downflow velocities are also displayed during operation.

Icon Area
The Icon Area displays icons for those features selected or in operation. The Icons are:

Normal blower operation –


In this mode the Cabinet blower is operating normally.

Night-Smart blower operation (Type A2 only)


When Night-SmartTM is selected, the blower will slow to idle speed when the sash
is closed, to maintain the cleanliness of the air in the work area. When the sash
is opened, the blower will resume normal operation.

Fluorescent light
In this mode the fluorescent lights are operating. When the sash is fully closed
the fluorescent lights will automatically turn off.

UV light
In this mode the UV (germicidal) light is operating. The Logic can be programmed
so that when the sash is fully closed, the UV light will automatically turn on.
When the sash is raised, the light will automatically turn off, to protect the
laboratory from UV irradiation.

Timer
When either the interval or stopwatch timer mode is active, this icon appears.

Security Lock
When the security lock is activated this icon is activated, and the keypad will not
respond to any buttons until the proper sequence of keystrokes is entered.

Mute
When this icon is on, the audible alarm will be muted for approximately 5
minutes.

Page 48 of 197
Operating the Sliding Sash
The Purifier's counterbalanced, anti-racking sash mechanism requires only a few pounds
of force to move the sash up or down. You can open or close the sash smoothly with
one or two hands positioned on either handle.
The sash position alarm and safety interlock system senses the sash position and acts
appropriately. The Purifier is designed to operate with either an 8- or 10-inch sash
opening, depending on model. The PuriCare Procedure Stations are designed to have
either a 10- or 12-inch sash opening. Raising the sash above its operating height will
activate the audible and visual alarms. The audible alarm can be temporarily muted (for
approximately five minutes) by depressing and releasing the Mute/OK button. Closing
the sash back to its operating position will reset the alarm and defeat the muting of the
alarm. The safety interlock system senses when the sash is closed, allows the optional
ultraviolet (UV) lamp to operate only when the sash is closed, to protect the operator
from irradiation.

Section 5
Certification Procedures for the Type A2 Logic

This section will outline test procedures to validate the performance of the Logic.

Note: These are the only Labconco-approved test procedures for validating
the performance of the Logic Biosafety Cabinet. Other test procedures may
yield different or inaccurate test results.
NOTE: In order to properly certify the Logic, you must obtain a Logic Certifier
Kit, Labconco P/N 3858400. Qualified certifiers can obtain this kit by
contacting Labconco Customer Service Department at 800-821-5525.
Note: The ECM motor is programmed by Labconco to deliver a constant
volume of air throughout the life of the HEPA filters. Any changes to the
blower speed control should be small (less than 5 units). If the cabinet does
not balance within 5 units of the model-specific speed control setting shown
in Table 5-1, contact Labconco’s Product Service Department for assistance.

Accessing the Certifier’s Menu


Note: You will need to access this menu to do any of the following:
• Adjust the blower speed
• To reset the filter gauge
• To calibrate the optional airflow sensor

Adjusting the blower speed


1. With the Logic operating, press: “Menu”
2. The Display will change to Menu mode. Press the ▲ or ▼ arrows until “Cabinet
Setup” is selected. Press: “Mute/OK”
3. The Display will then change to the password mode. In sequence, press:
“Light”
“UV Light”
“Timer”
“Timer”
“Mute/OK”
4. The display will change to the speed setting mode. The number displayed is the
speed control setting, in this case a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal that
indicates the percentage of the motor’s duty cycle. The number should range
from 60 to 90 depending on the Logic model. To increase or decrease the blower
speed, press the ▲ or ▼ buttons, respectively. When the speed control is set
properly, press “Mute/OK” This will set the controller to its new value, and
change the display to the filter gauge mode.

Page 63 of 197
Logic Filter Life Gauge Operation and Resetting for Local
Conditions
The filter life gauge calculates the remaining filter life by measuring and comparing the current
motor speed to the initial speed noted at the factory during assembly, and the calculated
maximum motor speed, using the formula:

100-(100x (current speed-original speed) ) = % filter life left


max. speed-original speed

So anything that changes the motor’s current speed, like:


9 Blocking the grille.
9 Raising the air temperature.
9 Lowering the barometric pressure.

will increase the motor’s speed, causing the Filter Life Gauge to decrease. Electronic dampening
of the gauge will limit the change in readings to approximately 1%/minute.

Logic Biosafety Cabinets being installed at altitudes or operating at temperatures significantly


different from those at the time of manufacture (900 +/- 500 ft above sea level, 75o +/- 5o F)
must have their filter life gauge recalibrated for local conditions. Failure to do so will result in the
users noticing a steady drop in Percent (%) Filter Life remaining as the unit operates. Below are
the instructions on how to correct the Filter Life Gauge for local conditions.

1. Ensure to correct all measurement equipment for local conditions (temperature, absolute
pressure). Anemometers may not have this ability and might have to be done manually;
whereas, a ShortRidgeTM instrument has a setting to correct for local conditions.
2. As the elevation or the ambient temperature rises, the motor power factor will have to be
reduced to compensate. For an initial certification, the motor speed should be reduced
until it equals the Logic’s “Initial Motor Speed” as reported on the unit’s test sheet, plus
approximately 10-15 RPM per each additional 1000 feet of elevation.
3. The Logic MUST be recertified using instruments corrected for local conditions.
4. When the unit is recertified, and operating properly, the certifier MUST RESET THE
FILTER LIFE GAUGE, INDICATING A NEW FILTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED.
5. Only by performing Step #4 AFTER THE UNIT IS READJUSTED AND RECERTIFIED FOR
ITS LOCAL CONDITION, will the filter life gauge register 100% (+/- 2%) during
operation. As the Filters then load, the filter life gauge will then begin to drop as
appropriate.
6. If you do not wish to reset the filter gauge, select the option “Filter not changed”, and
press “Mute/OK”.
7. Either selection will finish the calibration mode, or lead to calibration of inflow and
downflow velocities.

Page 64 of 197
Adjusting the optional inflow and downflow values
Note: This step is only available if the optional airflow sensor is installed.

1. Using the ▲ or ▼ buttons, increase or decrease the displayed inflow velocity


until it matches the observed value, then press “Mute/OK” to confirm the value.
The display will now change to downflow velocity calibration screen.
2. Using the ▲ or ▼ buttons, increase or decrease the displayed downflow velocity
until it matches the observed value, then press “Mute/OK” to confirm the value.
1. Once the downflow is confirmed, the unit will then automatically turn off and
then back on.

HEPA Filter Leak Test


All Logic models were tested to the HEPA Filter Leak Test as described in ANSI/NSF
Standard 49:2007.

Note: ensure all internal surfaces of the Logic have been appropriately
decontaminated before proceeding.
Figure 5-1

Note: For all Logic models, the aerosol


generator should be placed in the left
rear corner of the work area, pointing
toward the rear grille, as shown in
Figure 5-1.

If the Logic is contaminated


(An upstream concentration cannot be established)
If the Logic has been used with biohazardous, toxic chemicals, or radioisotopes, the DOP
access port cannot be used. The upstream concentration cannot be measured directly.
Testing at Labconco has shown the actual concentration varies from the calculated
value. Table 5-1 shows the actual vs. calculated concentrations for the A2 models.

Downflow Velocities
All Logic models are classified as having uniform downflow, and the average downflow
velocity for all models is 55+/-5 FPM, tested as per ANSI/NSF Standard 49:2007.

All readings should be in a plane 4 inches above the bottom edge of the sash, and the
UV Lamp, IV bar and all other accessories must be removed before performing
downflow test. The test grid dimensions are outlined in Table 5-2. When taking readings
in the back two rows, the anemometer probe should be pointing toward the nearest side
wall, as shown in figure 5-13. When reading the front row, the probe should point
outward, toward the front of the cabinet, as shown in Figure 5-14. The thermal
anemometer’s time constant should be set at 10-15 seconds for greater data stability.

Inflow Velocity Calculation - Primary Method


Note: The dress panel MUST be installed on the cabinet to obtain an accurate inflow
value.
The average inflow velocity for all Logics is 105 ±5 FPM, and should be determined by
converting the inflow volume to the average inflow velocity. The inflow volume is
measured directly by sealing a direct inflow measuring flowmeter to the face of the unit.
When corrected for local conditions, dividing the inflow volume by the opening area will
yield the average inflow velocity.

Page 75 of 197
Inflow Velocity Calculation - Secondary Method
If the primary method cannot be performed, the secondary inflow calculation method
should be used. The secondary method uses a hot wire thermal anemometer. In this
method, the sash is lowered, and a series of velocity readings are taken at the front of
the unit.
NOTE: You must use Labconco holder P/N 3836405 to perform this test
properly. Qualified certifiers can obtain this holder as part of the Logic
Certifier Kit, Labconco P/N 3858400, by contacting Labconco Customer
Service Department at 800-821-5525.

For each model Purifier, the sash should be closed until the distance from the bottom
edge of the sash to the mating surface of the grey corner post end cap, equals
“Restricted Sash Opening” as shown Table 5-4 below. The measurement should be
taken using the appropriate marked template as shown below in Figure 5-15.

The thermal anemometer probe should be positioned such that the distance from the
bottom of the probe holder to the center of the sensor element equals “Sensor Distance”
as shown in Table 5-4 below. Use the marks on the 6-foot templates, or a scale as
shown in Figure 5-16a & b below.

1. Locate the single row of holes at the front of the grille. Mark the 6th hole from
the side wall and subsequent test points every 9 holes until the number of test
points marked equals the width of the cabinet in feet (for a 3-foot cabinet, for
example, mark the first 3 points). Repeat for the opposite side, as shown in
Figure 5-17.
2. Start the Purifier, and let it operate for at least 5 minutes. Establish the
necessary correction factor to the thermal anemometer to ensure compliance
with its performance in a calibrated wind tunnel. This data should be available
from the calibrator of the thermal anemometer.

Page 77 of 197
3. Calculate the manufacturers recommended correction factor(s) to correct for
local conditions of temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, altitude, etc.
4. Take a series of inflow velocities by placing the probe holder so that its center
mark aligns with the marked test holes. As shown in Figure 5-18.
5. Apply the wind tunnel correction and local condition correction factors to the
thermal anemometer readings.
6. Multiply the individual readings by the correction factor shown in Table 5-4.
7. Average the corrected readings.
8. The resulting value is the inflow volume in cubic feet per minute (CFM). In order
to convert this value to the average inflow velocity of feet per minute (FPM),
divide the volume by the sash open area given in Table 5-4. The resulting value
will be the calculated average inflow velocity in FPM.

Section 6
Certification Procedures for the Type B2 Logic
This section will outline test procedures to validate the performance of the Logic Total
Exhaust Biosafety Cabinet.
Note: These are the only Labconco-approved test procedures for validating
the performance of the Logic Biosafety Cabinet. Other test procedures may
yield different or inaccurate test results.
NOTE: In order to properly certify the Logic, you must obtain a Logic Certifier
Kit, Labconco P/N 3858400. Qualified certifiers can obtain this kit by
contacting Labconco Customer Service Department at 800-821-5525.
Note: The ECM motor is programmed by Labconco to deliver a constant
volume of air throughout the life of the HEPA filters. Any changes to the
blower speed control should be small (less than 5 units). If the cabinet does
not balance within 5 units of the model-specific speed control setting shown
in the QuickChart, contact Labconco’s Product Service Department for
assistance.

Accessing the Certifier’s Menu


Note: You will need to access this menu to do any of the following:
• Adjust the blower speed
• To reset the filter gauge
• To calibrate the airflow sensor

Adjusting the blower speed


1. With the Logic operating, press: “Menu”
2. The Display will change to Menu mode. Press the ▲ or ▼ arrows until “Cabinet
Setup” is selected. Press: “Mute/OK”.
3. The Display will then change to the password mode. In sequence, press:
“Light”
“UV Light”
“Timer”
“Timer”
“Mute/OK”
4. The display will change to the speed setting mode. The number displayed is the
speed control setting, in this case a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal that
indicates the percentage of the motor’s duty cycle. The number should range
from 60 to 90 depending on the Logic model. To increase or decrease the blower
speed, press the ▲ or ▼ buttons, respectively. When the speed control is set
properly, press “Mute/OK” This will set the controller to its new value, and
change the display to the filter gauge mode.

Page 83 of 197
Logic Filter Life Gauge Operation and Resetting for Local
Conditions
The filter life gauge calculates the remaining filter life by measuring and comparing the current
motor speed to the initial speed noted at the factory during assembly, and the calculated
maximum motor speed, using the formula:

100-(100x (current speed-original speed) ) = % filter life left


max. speed-original speed

So anything that changes the motor’s current speed, like:


9 Blocking the grille.
9 Raising the air temperature.
9 Lowering the barometric pressure.

will increase the motor’s speed, causing the Filter Life Gauge to decrease. Electronic dampening
of the gauge will limit the change in readings to approximately 1%/minute.

Logic Biosafety Cabinets being installed at altitudes or operating at temperatures significantly


different from those at the time of manufacture (900 +/- 500 ft above sea level, 75o +/- 5o F)
must have their filter life gauge recalibrated for local conditions. Failure to do so will result in the
users noticing a steady drop in Percent (%) Filter Life remaining as the unit operates. Below are
the instructions on how to correct the Filter Life Gauge for local conditions.

8. Ensure to correct all measurement equipment for local conditions (temperature, absolute
pressure). Anemometers may not have this ability and might have to be done manually;
whereas, a ShortRidgeTM instrument has a setting to correct for local conditions.
9. As the elevation or the ambient temperature rises, the motor power factor will have to be
reduced to compensate. For an initial certification, the motor speed should be reduced
until it equals the Logic’s “Initial Motor Speed” as reported on the unit’s test sheet, plus
approximately 10-15 RPM per each additional 1000 feet of elevation.
10. The Logic MUST be recertified using instruments corrected for local conditions.
11. When the unit is recertified, and operating properly, the certifier MUST RESET THE
FILTER LIFE GAUGE, INDICATING A NEW FILTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED.
12. Only by performing Step #4 AFTER THE UNIT IS READJUSTED AND RECERTIFIED FOR
ITS LOCAL CONDITION, will the filter life gauge register 100% (+/- 2%) during
operation. As the Filters then load, the filter life gauge will then begin to drop as
appropriate.
13. If you do not wish to reset the filter gauge, select the option “Filter not changed”, and
press “Mute/OK”.
14. Either selection will lead to calibration of the inflow velocity.

Adjusting the inflow velocity


1. Using the “▲” or “▼” buttons, increase or decrease the displayed inflow velocity
until it matches the observed value, then press “Mute/OK” to confirm the value.
2. Once the downflow is confirmed, the unit will then automatically turn off and
then back on.

Page 84 of 197
*Adjusting the alarm setpoint velocity
1. Close the exhaust damper until the exhaust volume equals 80% of the nominal
volume. Press ‘OK’ to accept the alarm volume.
2. Reopen the exhaust damper to its normal position.

This step only applies to units with Firmware version G or later.

Supply HEPA Filter Leak Test


All Logic models were tested to the HEPA Filter Leak Test as described in ANSI/NSF
Standard 49:2007.

Note: ensure all internal surfaces of the Logic have been appropriately
decontaminated before proceeding.

Note: For all Logic models, the prefilter element should be removed, and the
aerosol generator should be placed nearby to inject the aerosol as shown in
Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1

Place aerosol generator on top of the electronics


module

Remove the prefilter before starting the test

Measuring the Upstream Concentration

The Logic utilizes a unique aerosol access tube for sampling the upstream concentration
of aerosol. If after reading these instructions, you have further questions, please
contact Labconco's Product Service Department.

Note: Logic B2 models manufactured prior to December 2010 (serial numbers


1011xxxxx and lower) have two sampling tubes. Disregard the tube on the
left side of the rear duct.

1. Remove the work surface by lifting the handles on either end. Pull the work
surface straight out of the Logic.

Page 85 of 197
2. Locate the access tube on right side of the rear plenum wall, passing through the
towel catch. As shown in Figure 6-2.
Figure 6-2

3. Pull the tube toward the front of the unit. Remove the access tube cover.
4. Using an appropriate photometer, connect the unit's upstream line to the access
tube.

Note: Keep the photometer sampling tube as short as possible. It should


never exceed 6 feet maximum.

5. Turn on the photometer and allow it to operate for a minimum of 5 minutes.


Leave the valve in the “CLEAR” setting.
6. Check the oil level of the generator – it must be within 1/8” of the level line
when the generator is sitting level.

Calculating the upstream concentration


If you do not want to connect the upstream line of the photometer to the sampling port
located on the supply filter plenum, you must calculate the upstream concentration.
Testing at Labconco has shown the actual concentration varies from the calculated
value. Table 6-1 shows the actual vs. calculated concentrations for the B2 models.

Downflow Velocities
All Logic models are classified as having uniform downflow, and the average downflow
velocity for all models is 55+/-5 FPM, tested as per ANSI/NSF Standard 49:2007.

All readings should be in a plane 4 inches above the bottom edge of the sash, and the
UV Lamp, IV bar and all other accessories must be removed before performing
downflow test. The test grid dimensions are outlined in Table 6-3. When taking readings
in the back two rows, the anemometer probe should be pointing toward the nearest side
wall, as shown in figure 6-7. When reading the front row, the probe should point
outward, toward the front of the cabinet, as shown in Figure 6-8. The thermal
anemometer’s time constant should be set at 10-15 seconds for greater data stability.

Inflow Velocity Calculation - Primary Method


Note: The dress panel MUST be installed on the cabinet to obtain an accurate inflow
value.
The average inflow velocity for all Logics is 105 ±5 FPM, and should be determined by
converting the inflow volume to the average inflow velocity. The inflow volume is
measured directly by sealing a direct inflow measuring (DIM) flowmeter to the face of
the unit. When corrected for local conditions, dividing the inflow volume by the opening
area will yield the average inflow velocity.

(CFM)

Acceptance
Average inflow shall be 105 +/-5 FPM.

Page 92 of 197
Inflow Velocity Calculation - Secondary Method
If the primary method cannot be performed, the secondary inflow calculation method
should be used. The secondary method uses a hot wire thermal anemometer. In this
method, the sash is lowered, and a series of velocity readings are taken at the front of
the unit.
NOTE: You must use Labconco holder P/N 3836405 to perform this test
properly. Qualified certifiers can obtain this holder as part of the Logic
Certifier Kit.

For each model Purifier, the sash should be closed until the distance from the bottom
edge of the sash to the mating surface of the grey corner post end cap, equals
“Restricted Sash Opening” as shown Table 6-5 below. The measurement should be
taken using the appropriate marked template as shown below in Figure 6-9 below.

The thermal anemometer probe should be positioned such that the distance from the
bottom of the probe holder to the center of the sensor element equals “Sensor Distance”
as shown in Table 6-5 below. Use the marks on the 6-foot templates, or a scale as
shown in Figure 6-10a & b below.

1. Locate the single row of holes at the front of the grille. Mark the 6th hole from
the side wall and subsequent test points every 9 holes until the number of
test points marked equals the width of the cabinet in feet (for a 4-foot
cabinet, for example, mark the first 4 points). Repeat for the opposite side,
as shown in Figure 6-11.
2. Start the Purifier, and let it operate for at least 5 minutes. Establish the
necessary correction factor to the thermal anemometer to ensure compliance

Page 94 of 197
with its performance in a calibrated wind tunnel. This data should be
available from the calibrator of the thermal anemometer.
3. Calculate the manufacturers recommended correction factor(s) to correct for
local conditions of temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, altitude, etc.
4. Take a series of inflow velocities by placing the probe holder so that its
center mark aligns with the marked test holes. As shown in Figure 6-12.
5. Apply the wind tunnel correction and local condition correction factors to the
thermal anemometer readings.
6. Multiply the individual readings by the correction factor shown in Table 6-5.
7. Average the corrected readings.
8. The resulting value is the inflow volume in cubic feet per minute (CFM). In
order to convert this value to the average inflow velocity of feet per minute
(FPM), divide the volume by the sash open area given in Table 6-5. The
resulting value will be the calculated average inflow velocity in FPM.
Figure 6-11

Marking the test point locations.


Mark the 6th hole from either end,
then mark every 9th hole until the
number of marked points equal the
width of the cabinet in feet.
Repeat for the other side of the
grille.

Page 103 of 197


Sash
Operation
The Logic sash uses a deadweight-counterbalanced system. The system consists
of two separate weights on either side of the liner. Both weights are
synchronized by a locked axle-pulley system. Both pulleys are fixed to the axle so
that both weights must move together, preventing the sash from racking.

Adjustment
There are no adjustments for the width of the sash track. There should be
approximately 1/8-inch lateral play of the sash in its track. If there is no lateral
play, examine one or both of the corner posts to ensure that they are not bent
inward. If the sash becomes racked, or is closing unevenly, it can be aligned as
follows:
1. Close the sash completely, until the lower edge of the sash is contacting
the sash stop. If the other end of the sash is not resting on its sash stop,
CAREFULLY lift the counterweight on the “high” side of the sash. This will
allow the high side of the sash to lower to the sash stop, leveling the
sash. See Figure 7-5.

Figure 7-5

Sash Position Switches
Two microswitches are used to indicate the sash position. The switches are the same,
Labconco part # 3832400. A photo of both switches is shown in Figure 7-6.

Figure 7-6

Sash Closure Position Switch

Sash Operating Position Switch

Sash Closure Position Switch


The sash closure position switch signals the display microprocessor that the sash
is open or closed allowing proper operation of the Blower, fluorescent or UV
lights. It is wired in the normally open configuration. If the switch does not
actuate properly when the sash is within ¼-inch of being fully closed, ensure the
switch follower is properly actuating against the weight. See Figure 7-7.

Sash Operating Position Switch


The sash operating position switch signals the display microprocessor that the
sash is open too far for proper operation, as shown in Figure 7-8. It is wired in
the normally open configuration. If the switch does not actuate properly when
the sash is within ¼-inch of its operating position, ensure the switch follower is
properly actuating against the weight.

1. Install a new supply HEPA filter by pushing it straight into the cabinet, ensuring that
it is correctly oriented, and that the filter is centered on the filter shelf.
2. Use a 1/2-inch socket or wrench to sequentially loosen the three plenum lift bolts
located as noted in Figure 7-17. When properly positioned, the plenum box will be
aligned with the supply HEPA filter frame. Continue to loosen the bolts until the
plenum contacts the HEPA filter and has slightly compressed the filter gasket.

NOTE: The lift bolts should only be tightened enough to ensure a proper seal
of the supply HEPA filter. At maximum tightness, the supply filter's gasket
should be compressed to less than 50% of its original thickness. NEVER
tighten the locking bolts beyond this setting.

To Install an Exhaust HEPA Filter:

1. On 3-foot wide models, reinstall the exhaust filter pan, ensuring the filter stop flange
is oriented toward the rear of the cabinet.
2. On 3-foot wide models, thread all four sealed bolts into the exhaust filter pan.
3. Slide the new exhaust HEPA filter all the way into the pan.

Page 113 of 197


4. Sequentially tighten the four exhaust filter sealing bolts located at each corner of the
exhaust filter tray until the exhaust filter gasket is compressed no more than 50%.

The exhaust filter sealing bolts should only be tightened enough to ensure a
proper seal of the exhaust HEPA filter. At maximum tightness, the exhaust
filter's gasket should be compressed to 50% of its original thickness. NEVER
tighten the bolts beyond this setting.

5. Install the blower chamber cover, uniformly tightening the screws on the cover until
the gasket has formed a proper seal.

Page 123 of 197


Sash
Operation
The Logic sash uses a deadweight-counterbalanced system. The system consists
of two separate weights on either side of the liner. Both weights are
synchronized by a locked axle-pulley system. Both pulleys are fixed to the axle so
that both weights must move together, preventing the sash from racking.

Adjustment
There are no adjustments for the width of the sash track. There should be
approximately 1/8-inch lateral play of the sash in its track. If there is no lateral
play, examine one or both of the corner posts to ensure that they are not bent
inward. If the sash becomes racked, or is closing unevenly, it can be aligned as
follows:

1. Close the sash completely, until the lower edge of the sash is contacting the
sash stop. If the other end of the sash is not resting on its sash stop,
CAREFULLY lift the counterweight on the “high” side of the sash. This will
allow the high side of the sash to lower to the sash stop, leveling the sash.
See Figure 8-5.

Figure 8-5

CAUTION: Exercise
caution when lifting a
counterweight. There is
a pinch potential
between the sash cable
and pulley.

Sash Closure Position Switch

Sash Operating Position Switch

Sash Closure Position Switch


The sash closure position switch signals the display microprocessor that the sash
is open or closed allowing proper operation of the Blower, fluorescent or UV
lights. It is wired in the normally open configuration. If the switch does not
actuate properly when the sash is within ¼-inch of being fully closed, ensure the
switch follower is properly actuating against the weight. See Figure 8-7.

Sash Operating Position Switch


The sash operating position switch signals the display microprocessor that the
sash is open too far for proper operation, as shown in Figure 8-8. It is wired in
the normally open configuration. If the switch does not actuate properly when
the sash is within ¼-inch of its operating position, ensure the switch follower is
properly actuating against the weight.

Display Board Service Operations


Display Board Diagnostics is addressed in the section on Touchpad Test Operations.

Page 145 of 197


Touchpad Connections
To correctly connect the touchpad to the Display Board, orient the ribbon connector so
the metallic side of the connector is away from the side of the Logic, as shown in Figure
9-7.

Figure 9-7

Aligning the touchpad ribbon connector and


the circuit board (metal frame and other
wiring omitted for clarity).

Diagnostic Operations
There are three diagnostic tests that can be run: The Keypad, the optional airflow
sensor (standard on Type B2 Logics), and the optional canopy airflow sensor.

To access the diagnostic menu, press:

“Menu”

The Display will change to Menu mode. Press the ▲ or ▼ arrows until “Cabinet Set-up”
is selected then press “OK” and then use the ▲ or ▼ arrows to select “Diagnostic Test”
option and then press “OK.”

Keypad Testing
When keypad is selected, the LCD will show when each key is pressed, to
confirm the touch pad is working. In addition, when the Light and UV Light keys
are pressed, the associated relays are energized so the lamps should work. The
timer button energizes an auxiliary relay that closes when the blower is
energized. When “Mute/OK” is pressed, the audio alarm should work. When the
“▲” key is pressed, the Airflow Alarm relay will be energized. When the “▼”
key is pressed, the Blower On relay will be energized. Finally, the sash position
switches can be checked in this mode as the LCD displays the sash position
information that the controller is receiving.

Page 146 of 197


Airflow Sensor Testing
When airflow sensor is selected, the LCD will show the raw data from the
airflow sensor, as shown in Figure 9-8. This can be useful in diagnosing
sensor operation, blockages or obstructions near the sensor, etc.
Figure 9-8

Canopy Sensor Testing


When canopy sensor is selected, the LCD will show operation of the
canopy airflow switch. When there is insufficient airflow across the
optional sensor, the display will sensor as “Closed”. With sufficient
airflow, the diagnostic screen will report the sensor as “Opened”.

Page 147 of 197


Motor Service Operations
NOTE: Use caution when measuring test voltages to avoid short circuits.

The ECM does not require routine service. The motor bearings are permanently
lubricated, and do not require additional lubrication.

Motor Testing
For the ECM to operate properly, the motor must receive:

1. Line voltage across pins 4 (black wire) and 5 (white wire) through the power
connector.
2. 24 Volts DC through pin 1 (brown wire circuit common) and 15 (yellow wire)
on the data Connector.
3. A pulse width modulation signal through pin 10 (purple wire) on the data
connector. This signal is measured with respect to circuit common, which is
pin 1 (brown wire).

Note: The above pin numbers and wire colors are described as they exist at the motor
connectors. These connectors are located inside the contaminated area, as so you may
want to measure these signals as they exit out of the electronics module on top of the
BSC, rather than decontaminating the BSC. The instructions below refer to accessing all
the necessary motor drive signals as they exit the electronics module.

Caution: In order to confirm proper motor operation, the unit must be


energized. Use caution when testing electrical components.

NOTE: To properly measure motor line and signal voltages, you should use
the pass-thru harness, Labconco Part # 3842601. The harness is part of
Labconco Certifier’s Kit, Part #3858400. Qualified certifiers can obtain this kit
by contacting Labconco Customer Service Department at 800-821-5525.

1. Unplug the Logic.


2. Access the electronics module as described earlier in “Electronics Module
Access”, and securing it so it does not fall and damage wire and components.
3. Locate the white-colored, 15 pin connector that connects to the pass-thru
harness as shown in Figure 9-9.
Figure 9-9

15 pin connector

Page 148 of 197


4. Disconnect the 15-pin connector, and install the pass-thru harness, as shown
in Figure 9-10. Plug the Logic back in. With the meter set on AC voltage,
verify the AC mains line voltage is present within ± 5 VAC when the AC
voltage is measured across pin 2 (black wire) and pin 3 (white wire) on the
3-pin connector, as shown in Figure 9-11.

Figure 9-10

Pass-thru Harness installed

Figure 9-11

Measuring Line voltage

5. Set the meter to read DC voltage and connect the –DC voltage lead to pin 8
(brown wire) on the 4-pin connector. This brown wire is circuit common and
will be used for the following low voltage tests.

Page 149 of 197


6. Next, connect the meters + DC voltage lead to pin 6 (yellow wire) and verify
there is ± 24 Volt DC ± 5 Volts DC, as shown in Figure 9-12. The presence of
24 Volt DC on this yellow wire tells the motor to start.
Figure 9-12

Measuring 24 VDC voltage

7. Next, move the meter’s + DC voltage lead to pin 5 (purple wire) [the meter’s lead
is still connected to pin 8 (brown wire)]. Note the DC voltage, since the motor’s
speed is determined by the pulse width modulated signal on this contact. A
voltage noted in step 6 signifies 100% pulse width duty cycle, while a DC voltage
of 0 volts would indicate a 0% PWM level. Depending on the particular ECM
motor, the motor speeds for the 0% PWM levels and 100% PWM levels will differ
but the 0% level represents the “night setback” blower speed and the 100% level
indicates the max speed ever required by the motor under total filter loading. The
actual DC voltage measured will be between 0 V and 24 Volts DC, and that voltage
indicates roughly the % duty cycle being sent to the motor at this time. For
example:

A total voltage of 22 VDC, and a signal voltage of 15 VDC would indicate 15 VDC
measured/22V DC @ 100% = 68% duty cycle.

Another example, would be 18 VDC/22 DC @ 100%, would correspond to an 81%


PWM signal. Refer to the QuickCharts to find the nominal PWM for new filters
based on cabinet width and sash height. Verify the PWM is near the value in the
QuickCharts.

Motor Output Signal Testing
Using the Microprocessor “Calibration” Mode to access the “Motor Speed Factor” LCD screen.
Access the “Calibration” Mode by pressing “Menu” and “OK”, then select “Cabinet Set-up” and
“OK” and finally select “Calibration.” Then enter the password sequence “Light, UV, Timer,
Timer” and then press “OK.” The LCD screen will now show the PWM output % signal and
next to that, the instantaneous and averaged motor RPM signals sent back from the motor to
the electronic controls. Figure 9-13 shows the LCD screen and the location of the RPM
signals. Verify these displayed RPM’s correspond approximately with the actual motor RPM’s.

Service Fixture Kit No. 3747500
Completely decontaminate all interior work surfaces of the Purifier before
beginning the installation of the service valve.

Additional service fixtures can be installed in any of the four available service fixture
holes in the sidewalls. The service fixture kit is Labconco part number 3747500.

Installation Procedure
1. Decide which of the available locations you want to install the service fixture.
2. Access the exterior surface of the sidewall by removing the two Phillips screws on
the front edge of the panel. Swing open and lift off the panel to access the valve
hole plug.
3. With a flat blade screwdriver, carefully break the silicone seal on the perimeter of
the hole plug (on the outside of the cabinet). Then pry the plug away from the side
of the cabinet.

Page 170 of 197


4. Carefully remove any remaining sealant from the service fixture hole.
5. Using the Teflon tape supplied, wrap two to three turns of tape on the male pipe
thread of the valve, and the tube fitting.
6. Put the threaded end of the fixture through the hole, orienting the valve as shown in
Figure 10-1. Using the silicone sealant, apply a bead of silicone on the outside
surface of the cabinet side, around the valve body. This will provide a pressure tight
seal around the valve body. Place the washer on the valve thread, and then install
the coupler. Holding the valve body in position, use a wrench or pliers to thread the
coupling on until the valve is captured on the side panel.
7. Thread the tubing connector onto the coupling until it can no longer be turned by
hand. Holding the coupling secure with a wrench or pliers, turn the tube fitting
approximately one more revolution, using pliers or a wrench. Orient the tube fitting
such that it is easy to access it with the incoming service tube.
8. Connect the ¼-inch O.D. service tube to the tube fitting by pressing the tube all the
way into the fitting, turning the tubing nut until hand tight, and then approximately
one more turn using pliers or a wrench.

Do not route the service tubing under the sash weight channel. Route the tubing
between the weight channel and the exterior side panel.

9. Make sure the service fitting in the Purifier is in the off position before pressurizing
the service line. Once pressurized, check the valve body, the coupling, and the tube
fitting for leaks. Tighten any leaking joints.
10. Reattach the side panel.

Logic Relay Contact Outputs:
Labconco Logic Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) models are provided with TWO dry relay
contacts to allow connection to an external monitoring system, or to switch other air
handling units “on” when the Labconco unit is turned on.

The Labconco Logic BSC provides two contacts: One to indicate the internal Labconco
blower is on, (so that external blowers may also be energized) and the other to indicate
airflow errors. These contacts provided will “short circuit” when the blower is turned on,
or when there is an airflow error. This means that the Labconco contacts are isolated
from the Labconco equipment, and the user must provide the interface circuitry based
on the requirements of the connected equipment.

The dry contacts are accessed at connector J4 (Labconco harness #38468-00 is


available for easy connection.) This J4 connector is located on the electrical control box
on top of the BSC, as shown in the picture below:

Page 179 of 197


Generally, the Labconco provided contacts can switch very low amounts of electrical
current, so to control high power, line-operated devices, the Labconco contacts must be
used to control yet another set of contacts that are rated for the actual load being
switched.

The wiring diagram indicates that the “Blower On” contacts are located at J4-pins 3 & 4
while the Airflow Alarm contacts are located at J4-pins 1&2.

Relay Contact #1 …….the “BLOWER ON” contact

This set of contacts (dry contacts pins 3 & 4 of J4 on the electrical enclosure) will
indicate when the BSC’s blower is on. On an A2 cabinet, this contact will close/short
once the blower key is pressed to turn the blower on.

However, on a B2 cabinet, the contacts will close on the initial blower turn-on, but then
these contacts must follow the blower action based on the exhaust airflow sensor, since
low airflow will cause the internal blower to shut off.

The generalized circuit shown below indicates how to interface the Labconco contacts to
power a high power device. Note that the Labconco contacts are used to power the low-
power coil of an added external power style relay/contactor—in this case the relay is a
Hasco HAT903ASDC12, and the 12V coil draws only .08Amps (the Labconco +12v is
fused at .5amps, so choose a max. 5 watts coil)

Page 180 of 197


The next diagram shows an example of using an AC powered coil, so the Logic’s +12v is
not used.
The Hasco HAT 903 relay series offers a 120VAC coil that requires only 16mA AC current
as well as a 230volt coil that draws only 9mA. An alternate circuit that uses an AC mains
rated coil voltage is shown below – it does not utilize the +12v and circuit common from
the Labconco Logic.

Note: A W199 Magnacraft Series relay can switch up to 300Vac @ 40 Amps……….it’s coil
is rated for 12 Vdc, 171mA, or approx. 2 watt coil…………..

Also an Omron G7Z has a 12VDC coil rated 3.7 watts, and can switch 440VAC at 25
amps…

Page 181 of 197


The final diagram shows a connection for a 3-phase powered blower. In this case, a 12
VDC relay coil is used, and gets its power from the Logic

Page 182 of 197


Relay Contact #2……the “airflow error” contact
This set of contacts (dry contacts pins 1 & 2 of J4 on the electrical enclosure, and the
ORANGE wires on Labconco harness #38468-00) will indicate when the BSC’s has an
airflow error, as described by the conditions below:

#2. Also note the location of the J1 connector for later use.

3) Install the RS-232 PCB inside the electrical control assembly as shown in picture
#3, being careful to locate the J2 connector (found in step 2) thru the square
hole created in step 1. Use the included bolts.

Page 184 of 197


Locate the connector and wiring that is part of the existing harness inside the electrical
control box, (see the picture below) and connect to J1.

3) Re-secure the electrical control box to the top of the Logic.

4) Connect the computer interface cable, # included in the kit to the J2 connector,
and connect the other end of this cable to a 9-pin serial input of a computer.
Proceed to the directions “Using the RS-232 Receptacle”.

Page 185 of 197


Using the RS-232 Receptacle
The operation of the Logic Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) can be monitored using a
computer connected to the RS232 receptacle located on the top electrical box of the
Logic. The computer monitors the Logic’s operation, but cannot control the operation of
the Logic.

Computer Connection for Computer Interface


Check your computer to see which type of serial port is provided. Use one of the two
connecting cables listed below:
1. Computers with a 25-pin D-sub male serial connector should use Connect Cable,
Labconco part number 7537801, to connect a computer to the Logic.
2. Computers with a 9-pin D-sub male serial connector should use Connect Cable,
Labconco part number 7537800, to connect a computer to the Logic.
The purpose of the RS232 interface is to send data to a data logging computer to
monitor the state and activity of the Logic. This data is half duplex data. The data
properties are as follows:
1. Data Rate 2400 Baud
2. 8 bit word length
3. 1 Start bit, 1 Stop bit
4. No parity is transmitted
5. Standard ASCII character set
The time between data transmissions may be varied by the user to occur at 1, 10, 30,
60, second intervals. Access the “Cabinet Setup” selection from the Main Menu, and
then select “Data Output Rate’ to select the rate of data output from the Logic.
The format of the transmitted message with typical values is as follows:

2. The downflow velocity profile can be measured with a microscope in place,


simply omit those velocity points that are under or obstructed by the microscope
base.
3. On Cell Logic models equipped with the microscope sash, the secondary inflow
methodology is similar to that of the corresponding Logic model with the
following changes:
a. With the microscope disconnected from the sash seal, the holes in the
seal must be plugged.
b. The sash is lowered to the height specified for the corresponding Logic
model.
c. The probe height is the same as the corresponding Logic model.
d. When establishing the test point locations on the front grille, use the
same methodology as with the Logics, except the two center test points
are not used.
e. The correction factor for 5-foot Cell Logics with a microscope sash is 1.0.
