Protector Airo Filtered Fume Hoods

The Benefits of GFH Filtration Technology

Safety-driven safety sums up the benefits of GFH Filtration Technology, which allow the Protector Airo Filtered Fume Hood to perform well beyond the SEFA 9-2010 DH III definition (Table 1). The user’s safety is maintained because the Protector Airo has built-in features that constantly monitor and prevent unsafe conditions without relying on user practices or modifications. These safeguards include:

• Controlled access to specified users via radio frequency identification (RFID) cards. Unauthorized personnel are prevented from operating the hood.
• Sensor package that detects primary filter breakthrough of solvent and acid fumes, laboratory air quality, sash position and temperature. Audio/visual alarms alert you to filter breakthrough, fan failure, high sash position and high temperature, which could indicate fire.
• Intelligent filter indication of type and status (primary or secondary). RFID technology scans each filter’s serial number preventing saturated filter re-installation.
• Optional gGuard® communication software that offers real time monitoring by a designated facility manager. From a remote location, data such as usage authorization, filter usage, filter saturation detection, sash position and temperature may be observed and managed.
