Main Features Unique Dynamic Chamber™ plenum with angled filter delivers superb airflow uniformity, far exceeding European Standard EN 12469 requirements. Negative pressure plenum surrounds contaminated positive pressure plenum; no fabric bags are used. Dual fan design for guaranteed safety. If one fan fails, minimal protection is still maintained with only one fan running. Esco next-generation Sentinel™ microprocessor supervises all cabinet functions. A large easy-to-read digital display and ergonomically sized touchpad controls improve user interface. Fully closable, motorized sash...

Downflow air sensor mounted in interior. Enhanced side-capture zones optimize containment. Accuflow™ microprocessor speed controller maintains safe cabinet airflow despite supply voltage fluctuations. Independent exhaust sensor mounted exterior to work area. Integrated RFI and electrical noise filters eliminate interference with and from adjacent equipment. Single piece interior side and back wall construction. Improved lighting is brighter, more uniform and reduces glare. Low noise level 57 dBA (in anechoic chamber) is quieter than conventional cabinets. Optional UV lamp operates on...

A graphical interface indicates cabinet performance. Display language can be user-programmed for English, German, Italian, and Spanish. Enlarged, multi-line digital read-out with alpha-numeric display indicates all input, status and alarm functions. Indicators for filter life and UV life are reverse scaled from 100% to 0% and displayed on the LCD panel. Operator, Product and Environmental Protection Infinity Class II Model FC2 delivers superior downflow uniformity than required by European Standard EN 12469, and provides protection from airborne contaminants to the operator, product and the...

Color coded indicator lamps display green for fan operation; blue for fluorescent lights and electrical outlet; and orange for UV lamp ON caution. Programmable automatic UV light timer simplifies operation, enhances contamination control, extends UV lamp life and saves energy. Esco Next-Generation Sentinel Microprocessor Control System The Sentinel microprocessor-based control and alarm system supervises all cabinet functions. Setpoints and other applications are user activated through touch-pad programming access detailed in the Operations Manual. A key switch located on the cabinet...

Cabinet Filtration System Side capture zones Dynamic air barrier, inflow and forward-directed downflow air converge Ambient air is pulled through the perforations located towards the work zone front to prevent contamination of the work surface and work product. The inflow does not mix with the clean air within the cabinet work zone. Inflow air travels through a return path toward the common air plenum (blower plenum) at the top of the cabinet. ULPA-filtered air Unfiltered / potentially contaminated air Room air / Inflow air • Automatic start-up sequence will prepare the cabinet for normal...

Double Blower System Provides the maximum possible level of safety by enabling safe cabinet shut down in the event of a single blower failure. LOW INFLOW LOW INFLOW LOW INFLOW AIR SAFE SAFE AIR AIR SAFE LOW INFLOW LOW INFLOW LOW INFLOW Low Inow, Downow Fail Fail Low Inow, Downow Low Inow, Downow Fail 1A: Under normal operation with both blowers operating (1a) the supply blower creates a negative pressure surrounding the contaminated positive pressure plenum and pushes air across the supply and exhaust filters. The exhaust blower boosts the air pressure through the exhaust filter to create...

Microbiological Testing Esco performs testing in accordance with more than 10 of the world's most recognized standards for local, regional and international criteria. Testing in our microbiology laboratory is conducted according to NSF49, EN12469, and JIS K3800. An NSF-accredited biohazard cabinet field certifier is available in-house full-time to supervise all testing work. Harmless Bacillus Subtilis bacteria is used to challenge the cabinet, then incubated for 48 hours and the Colony Forming Units (CFU) are counted to determine the testing results. Increased microbiological challenge...
