2 bars = Medium charge 1 bar = Low charge NOTE The Gilian 3500 automatically calculates the total air volume sampled using the following formula: Total Air Volume (Liters) = Air Flow Rate (cc/min) x Sample Time (minutes) / 1000 cc/Liter...
Gilian 3500 Air Sampling Pump SECTION TWO SET-UP 2.1 PREPARATION NiMH battery pack must be fully charged (about 5 hours). Refer to Section Four for battery maintenance. Charge battery pack through built-in jack. Battery pack may be charged while attached to pump, or separately.
Gilian 3500 Air Sampling Pump 2.2 PUMP START-UP • Power Up (see Figure 2.1) Press and release POWER button (1). Start-Up Sequence (approx. 10 seconds): Self Test screen (2) Version No. screen (3) Last Cal screen (4) Screen shows number of run hours since last calibration.
Gilian 3500 Air Sampling Pump 2.3 SETTING THE FLOW RATE NOTE This section is required only if you are changing pump flow rate. If you’re using previously set flow rate, simply verify it using a Gilibrator 2 (see Section 2.4.2).
Gilian 3500 Air Sampling Pump 2.4 DISPLAY CALIBRATION The display should be calibrated at least every 30 days. For optimum accuracy of the displayed flow, it is also recommended when a new flow is chosen. Use the set-up method described in 2.4.1 or 2.4.2 followed by the display calibration procedure in 2.4.2.
Gilian 3500 Air Sampling Pump 2.4.2 Display Calibration Procedure • See Figure 2.4 Before performing display calibration, the pump, must be set up following Section 2.4.1. NOTE To exit Calibration Mode without changing any values, simply press ENTER twice. This action will also reset the hours since last calibration.
Gilian 3500 Air Sampling Pump SECTION THREE OPERATION 3.1 STARTING THE SAMPLE RUN NOTE: Total Run Time and Total Volume Sampled are cumulative from one sample run to the next unless you reset the flow rate, clear the display, or calibrate the display.
Gilian 3500 Air Sampling Pump 3.2 STOPPING THE SAMPLE RUN • Press and hold the STOP button [1] until pump motor stops. • Pump alternately displays following screens: Set Flow Rate (cc/min) [2], Total Run Time (min) [3], Total Volume Sampled (liters) [4].
Gilian 3500 Air Sampling Pump 3.3 LOCKING THE KEYPAD The keypad can be locked during sampling to prevent tampering. To lock, press and hold both buttons for 5 seconds. After locking, the unit returns to normal sampling after 2-3 seconds.
Gilian 3500 Air Sampling Pump 3.5 CLEARING THE RUN DATA • If the pump is off press POWER button. • Wait until Ready Mode, then press and hold CLEAR button for 8 seconds. The pump will display “CLr”, and the “CLr” display will flash for a total of 8 seconds. As long as “CLr” is displayed the data can be saved by releasing the CLEAR button.
• Do not charge or replace battery pack while in an explosive atmosphere. • Do not leave charger on for extended periods of time. The Gilian 3500 pump uses rechargeable Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries that must be fully charged and properly maintained for maximum run time. The battery pack has a charge time under 5 hours.
