Page 6: Introduction To The Chek-Mate Flowmeter
Operating Principle The chek-mate is an orifice type flowmeter. Its reading is determined by measuring the pressure drop across the orifice caused by the flow of air through the orifice, using a differential pressure sensor. - Page 7 The chek-mate is connected to the pump using a CalChek communication cable (P/N 375- 200) which plugs into a socket on the right hand side of the chek-mate, and to the serial interface port on the pump.

Page 8: General Information
• Avoid extended use of the flowmeter in areas with high levels of airborne particulates. An external inlet filter (not SKC supply) can be used with the chek-mate flowmeter if this cannot be avoided. Any filter used should have high collection efficiency (collect the majority of all dust particles) and low back pressure. - Page 9 Batteries Directive (see below). Please contact your local distributor or SKC Ltd for further details on how to comply with the requirements of the WEEE Directive. SKC Ltd’s producer registration number is WEE/KH0054TQ.

Page 12: Using The Chek-Mate Flowmeter
1) Setting an Air Sample Train Flow Rate a. Ensure that the chek-mate flowmeter has been in the location where it is to be used for enough time for its temperature to stabilise to the ambient temperature. A minimum of 10 minutes is recommended. - Page 13 Switch off the flowmeter using the on/off button. 2) Automatic Power Off Timer The chek-mate flowmeter will remain on indefinitely provided that an airflow rate above the minimum display value is indicated. With an airflow rate lower than the minimum display www.skcltd.com...
- Page 14 (P/N 375-200) is required. Plug one end of the cable into the socket on the right hand side of the chek-mate flowmeter and the other end of the cable into the serial interface socket on the pump (the socket is mounted on the charging cradle for the AirChek Touch pump and the pump must be fitted to the charging cradle to perform CalChek calibration).
- Page 15 CalChek interface at 3.5 second intervals. e. The pump will automatically read in the chek-mate flow readings as required to complete the CalChek process, and completion of the process will be indicated on the pump display.

Page 16: Battery Care
• The SKC replacement primary (disposable) battery part number is P37500. • NiMH secondary (rechargeable) batteries may also be used (not available from SKC), but it must be ensured that the battery used is an 8.4V nominal type, and not a 7.2V nominal type which are also manufactured. - Page 17 Battery Care • The European Batteries Directive and equivalent legislation in other countries requires that all batteries are disposed of correctly at the end of their working life. This means that they must be collected and treated separately from other waste. • It is recommended to remove the battery from the battery compartment if the flowmeter is not to be used for an extended period of time.

Page 18: Calibration Of The Chek-Mate Flowmeter
Calibration of the chek-mate Flowmeter Calibration Interval SKC recommend a minimum calibration interval of one year for this product. However, it is the responsibility of the user to determine the most suitable interval in order to meet their quality assurance system requirements. Consideration should also be given to the frequency of use and operating environment when determining the calibration interval. - Page 19 1. It is strongly recommended to send a copy of this instruction manual with the chek-mate unit when sending to a third party calibration laboratory. 2. It is recommended to fit a new battery prior to sending the chek-mate for third party calibration.
