GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS: The PSU-2-H-D Mobile Pump with Control Valve System is designed for use as a constant flow Air Sampler. It is normally used to pull air samples through various filters to collect dust particulate, asbestos fiber particles or airborne pathogens for analysis. The PSU-2-H-D has a digital flow meter calibrated with a user specified filter material.
RS-232, RS-485 communications as well as analog signal output and relay outputs for alarms. The PSU-2-H-D has a digital elapsed timer that is wired to run when the pump is running. If the pump stops for any reason, the timer will also stop.
SET-UP ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS The PSU-2-H-D is completely assembled with the exception of the PSU-RHLB inlet/upper gooseneck assembly and security cable. Proceed as follows: 1. Remove plastic dust cover from the gooseneck/filter box & intake tube assembly located on the side of the mobile box.

2. Connect the two components by inserting and screwing down the Union Coupling on the bottom of the blue painted upper inlet tube to hand tight. Do not use a wrench! There is a rubber gasket seal on the coupling which will make the coupling air tight.

3. Remove the knurled aluminum nut (Goosenut) and the tapered black polyurethane Poly-Pack seal from the top of the inlet tube and slide on to the bottom of the 5/8” diameter tube on the bottom of the PSU-RHLB inlet as shown below. Make sure that the o-ring imbedded in the top of the Poly-Pack seal is on top.

5. Remove PSU-RHLB Inlet (upper portion of the inlet) by holding the PSU-RHLB Handle in one hand and rotating the PSU-RHLB Inlet counter clockwise. 6. Remove the PSU-FH filter holder from the base of the PSU-RHLB by pivoting the two filter holder locks out of the way.
Page 9
7. Open the PSU-FH by twisting the upper knurled silver piece counter clockwise 120° while holding the lower dark grey piece steady. 8. Place the 47mm diameter filter media in the shallow counterbore above the honeycomb filter support and center on the o-ring seal.

9. Reassemble the PSU-FH filter holder and place on the PSU-RHLB inlet base. Ensure that the two filter holder locks are rotated clockwise until the hooks are in the locking groove on the bottom of the PSU-FH filter holder. 10. Replace the upper portion of the PSU-RHLB, thereby enclosing the PSU-FH filter holder by slipping over the top of the filter holder, aligning the slots with the pins on the base and rotating 90°...

It will be looped through the lock. (Lock not provided.) The security cable prevents vandals from removing the gooseneck/filter housing. Make sure that the cable prevents the entire assembly from being lifted up and out of the PSU-2-H-D handle.

13. A “U”-Bolt is installed on the side of the unit, to allow a cable or chain to be used to secure the unit to a telephone pole or other permanent post.
START-UP PROCEDURE After assembly of the gooseneck to the pump system, make sure the intake bug screen inlet is at the correct height. (Standard breathing level protocol is 59” from the ground). If the filter holder and collection media is already in place skip the first step of the following procedures. 1.
3. Adjust the flow rate to the flow rate designated by the laboratory protocol by using the flow control knob on the flow control valve. 4. Press the Red timer reset button to set the timer to zero. The timer reads in hours and tenths of hours.
Page 15
4. Open the PSU-RHLB inlet. Place the transport cap on the PSU-FH. Remove the PSU-FH filter holder assembly from the PSU-RHLB inlet. Place the un-opened filter assembly into an airtight container plastic bag/container. 5. Mark the container with the location data, elapsed time, date, starting flow rate and end of sampling time flow rate.
FLOW METER AND FLOW RATE ADJUSTMENT: The instantaneous air flow rate can be read directly from digital panel meter located on the control panel on the inside of the enclosure lid. The panel meter reads the input from a pair of differential pressure sensors attached to a venturi tube to establish the air flow rate.
HI-Q’s standard Re-certification takes approximately 2 weeks (this includes expedited shipping to and from our factory). CALIBRATION The PSU-2-H-D is calibrated at the factory. The following procedure is for verifying the flow rate or re-calibration. Equipment Required: In-Line Calibration Adapter: Model PSU-FH-CALADAPT: Calibration adapter for PSU-FH filter holder.
Page 18
Re-Calibration Procedure The PSU-2-H-D uses a differential pressure sensors to sense the ΔP across the flow venturi and the ΔP across the filter media and sample train. This sensors outputs a 0-5 VDC signal to the PAXDP display. The PAXDP can incorporate up to input scaling 16-points to compensate for the non-linear input signal of the sensors.

4. Rotate the locking wings of the PSU-FH-CALADAPT clockwise (when viewed from above) until the slots on the wings engage the 3/8” dowel pins on the PSU-RHLB receptacle.
Page 20
5. Connect ½ inch female quick disconnect on flexible hose provided with the airflow calibrator to the ½ inch male quick disconnect on the inlet of the PSU-FH-CALADAPT. 6. Turn on the pump and adjust the sample flow to the maximum flow or to the anticipated sample flow rate.

9. Push the “PAR” button on the PAXDP digital display. The display will alternate between “INP b” and a number. This number shows the filter paper pressure drop compesation factor. 10. Push the “PAR” button on the PAXDP digital display. The display will alternate between “d-LEv”...

25. Press “DSP” to exit the programming menu. 26. Repeat steps 2-8. The values that you record are the new calibration data points. Save these for future reference.
(One tenth hour is six minutes.) CLEANING: The PSU-2-H-D sampler is an electrically powered instrument and care should be taken to not let any liquids get inside the sampler. The exterior of the sampler may be cleaned with a damp cloth.
