GENERAL
Fume hoods are exposed to extremes of temperature, reagent
fumes and working surface abuse. Regular care will prolong
service life and insure safe working conditions.
The exhaust system and blower of a fume hood mist function
properly for safety. Maintenance personnel should service the
fan and motor assembly regularly, lubricate as required, and
make sure that the exhaust system is free from obstructions.
Semiannually, accumulated deposits should be removed from
the impeller blade and housing.
A simple test with lighted match or smoke will show if the air is
being drawn into the hood. More accurate checks of air velocity
can be made with a thermal anemometer. See inspection and
Field Evaluation procedure.
Always place equipment and apparatus as far back into the
fume hood as possible since this provides greater assurance of
proper fume collection and removal.
Large, bulky apparatus or equipment should be placed in the
fume hood to permit air flaw around it, and never placed so as
to interfere with the operation of the baffle system. Raise large
A
tems an inch or two above work surface. Spilled liquids, acids,
or corrosive materials should be immediately wiped up and the
surface neutralized with water or the proper neutralizing agent
so as to prevent damage to the work surface and the hood
interior or to apparatus and equipment installed in the hoar.
Remember that special fume hoods are rewired for the
handling of Perchloft Acid. See next page.

PERCHILORIC ACID HOODS
FE IREq � LABORATORY FUME HOODS
OPERATION, 1NTENANCE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The properties of perchloric acid require that a specially
designed fume hoed be set aside for exclusive use with this
material. The hood is equipped with a cold water spray device
for washdown of the interior surfaces. A trough is placed
across the back of the hood for collection and disposal of
washdown waters. operating personnel should be well trained
in the proper handling techniques and be familiar with the
characteristics of this materiad.
Frequency of washdouvn, both hood interior and exterior
system, is determined by the usage and concentration of
reagens. This can range from a weekly procedure to one that
occurs after every use. Washdown should always be followed
by an inspection to verify that all areas are ciealn and that the
wash system is functioning properly.
Some of the hazards of Perchloric acid which justify the use of
a special hood are:
1. Perchloric acid is a very strong acid, capable of producing
severe burrs when in contact with skin, eyes or respiratory
bract.
2. As an aqueous solution, it can cause violent explosions if
improperly handfed.
3. It reacts with other substances to form unstable materials
which are susceptible to exploding either by impact, friction,
or spontaneous combustion.
Persons using perchloric acid should be thoroughly familiar with
its hazards. Many reported laboratory accidents have involved
less than one gram of reactant. Listed below are some common
safety practices that should be followed-
Spilled
perchloric acid should be thoroughly washed away
with large amounts of water.
• The use of organic chemicals or materiels in the hood should
be avoided.
• Goggles or other effective eye protection should be used
whenever possible, as well as utilization of the fume hood
sash for additional safety.
• Gas flames or ail baths should not be used within the hood.
organic chemicals should not be kept in storage areas sed
aide for perchloric acid storage.
A schedule should be made for regular washdawn and
inspection of load interior, ductwork and blower to guard
against abuild-up of dangerous perchloric materials.
•
Only a fluorocarbon grease should be used as a flower
lubricant, since any other type is to be considered potentially
hazardous.
• Washdown procedure should be performed after completion
of usage with all apparatus removed from hood,

B. Lighter -than -Air or high thermal loading.
C. Heavier -Than -Air
Position. A is for normal exhaust requirements. Locate baffle in
center of movement arc. All slots are functional. This baffle
position is suitable for most fume generating activities.
Baffle position B is for lighter -than -air gases, or' high heat
loads. The tap slot is open to maximum. The upper portion of
perimejer slot is operational. The intermediate horizontal slat is
operational and bottom slot is restricted. Fume hood air flow is
concentrated in the upper portion of enclosure for efficient
capture and exhaust of 'lighter -than -air fumes and hot gasps.
The baffle at position C provides maximum air flow across the
work surface for the collection and removal of fumes generated
at the work surface and heavier-than-air gases. In this POSMOn,
perimeter slot and intermediate slot remain open and
operational, top slot is closed.

FUME HOOD MONITOR
Models 54L0335 and 54L0405
proper flume hood operation is key to laboratory safety; comfort
and energy management. OSHA requires that iaboratories take
measures to ensure proper and adequate operation of fume
hoods. Recommendations include the use of a continuous air
monitoring device, The ANSI Z9.5 and NFPA 45 standards
reinforce these requirements.
Fisher Hamilton monitors have the ability to monitor true fame
hood face velocity using thermal sensors located in the
instrument. The thermal sensors are exposed to clean
laboratory air only. They can be surface -mounted in minutes
eliminating the need for expensive panel cutouts.
Each model is equipped with indicator lights that illuminate
based on apre-determined set -point. An audible 85dB
piezoelectric alarm sounds and a red indicafor light illuminates
to warn of potentially dangerous low air flow conditions.

OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL MAINTENANCE OF FUME HOODS
Fumy hood maintenance procedures consist primarily of ciean-
up, adjustment, lubrication, and replacement of worn, damaged
or nen-functioning parts. Lubrication of sash guides, cables,
pulley wheels, and other working parts should be accomplished
as required and replacement of broken, warn, or non-
functioning parts as needed. The following items should be
inspected and serviced at feast semi-annually:
• Liner and baffles for condition and cleanliness.
• Law air flow detectors.
Service fixtures and lights.
Pulleys and belts.
• Sash operation and counterbalance cables [ncluding a
complete visual check of the entire system.
Make sure there is a 1116" clearance between cable
keepers and pulley sheaves.
Velocity and pressure sensing detectors.
• Low or no flow alarms, both visile (lights) and audible
(horns or bells).
• Signal transmission for alarms designed to activate signals
at more than one location.
• Instrument verification of fume hood face velocity and
determinafion of usage by observation and interview.
• Ductwork and blower.
WARNING
Use only fluorocarbon grease on blower since any ether
type is to be considered potentially dangerous,
�
WARNING
Frayed or broken cables should be replaced to avoid
personal injury or damage to fume hood. Not all cable
manufacturer's cables are the same quality and cycle life.
We can only warranty cables furnished by Fisher hamilto-111,
Clean-up should be accomplished by, or under the supervision
of, a knowledgeable technician and should include removal of
all baffles for clean-up at all interior surfaces.
Flush all spills immediately using neutralizing compounds as
required and clean thoroughly. Use good housekeeping in
laboratory fame hoods at all times.
FUME HADD INSPECTION PROCEDURES
Safety considerations require that a schedule of inspection and
documentation be set up for every laboratory fame hood at
least annually.
An inspection record should be maintained. This record may be
I
n the form of a label attached to the fume hood, or a lag heli
by the laboratory director or health safety director.
Inspection procedures should include instrument verification of
fame hood face velocity and a determination of usage by
Nsher Hamilton
observation and interview. These procedures should also
consist of a physical examination of Inner condition and
cleanliness, baffle and sash operation and condition,
counterbalance cables, fight operation and condition, and
service fixture function.
Inspecfion results should be recorded and reported to the
proper authority or any required action.
NATE: Special purpose fume hoods such as those used with
radioactive materials or perchloric acid require additional
inspection procedures to cover special equipment and
requirements.
Options, such as low air flow detectors, when installed, should
be inspected at least annually. Where extreme hazardous or
corrosive conditions exist or when filters ars present in the
system, the inspection frequency should be increased
appropriately. Velocity and pressure sensing detectors should
be tested at each inspection. Low -flow of no -flow alarms of the
visible (lights) or audible thorns or beefs} hype should be tested
for
correct operation at least at each inspection. Signal
transmission dor alarms designed to activate signals at more
than one location should be verified at each location during
each inspection. Frayed or broken belts should be replaced
promptly.
