Description
Introduction
Air comes into plenum chamber through primary air filter at the top and centrifugal fan. Then air is blown out through high efficiency air filter from the top of the operation area. That will form high-degree clean vertical air curtain and remove natural air in working area. After five minutes, it will achieve a high-degree clean space. This equipment adopts adjustable fan to regulate air volume in double speed and touch switch adjusts the voltage. That will ensure that the wind speed of working area always in an ideal state

Description
VD-650 110V AC Laminar Flow Hood Air Flow Medicine Instrument Pharmacy 200W
Usage instruction
The workbench uses the infrared remote control. A key: blower start (big wind speed); B key: fan start (small wind speed); C key: lighting; D key: germicidal lamp; ON / OFF key: electrify (shut down machine).
Work surface should be placed in a clean environment(preferably placed in the 100,000 or 300,000 grade primary clean room). Plug in the 110V AC power and start up according to the control panel on the function shown. Before starting, please clean up the working surface and shell to remove the surface dust. After ten minutes, the equipment can be used in normal operation.
Feature
Based on acture usage, periodically remove the primary filter cleaning, the cleaning cycle is generally 3-6 months
When the early effect of the normal exchange or clean the filter air filter, still can not achieve the desired cross-section wind speed then adjust the fan voltage, and thus achieve the desire uniform wind speed
Generally when the fan operating voltage adjustment to the highest point in the use of eighteen, still can not achieve the desired wind speed, description of the filter on the high efficiency filter dust too much (filter kong has basically stuck to timely update) general efficiency air filter use a period of eighteen months
Replacement of high efficiency air filters, should pay attention to the correctness of the model dimensions arrow wind devices, and pay attention to the peripheral sealing of the filter is absolutely no leakage occurs
