Storage of NiMH Battery Packs Between Uses Remember that all rechargeable battery technologies (NiMH, NiCad, LiIon, Lead Acid, etc.) will lose charge over time due to charge dissipation. If you store your S instruments between uses for ™ more than 2 months (60 days) make sure that it is completely charged before doing so.
Place the battery pack on top of the SP330 or SP350 body and push firmly to slide it on. Make sure that the front edge of the battery fits under the lip near the keypad. Once the battery pack is fully seated and the screw holes are lined up, fasten it in place using the two battery screws provided.
Attach the battery cover by carefully placing it in the position shown. Slide the cover forward, and under the lip on the instrument. Fasten it in place with two screws. Replacing the Cells in the AA Battery Pack To replace the disposable cells in the AA battery pack, remove the battery pack.

Low Flow Adapter 1. Start up the S SP330 or SP350 and let it warm up for 2 ™ minutes prior to starting this procedure. 2. Adjust the pump flow rate to 1000 cc/min. referring to “Flow Setpoint” section in this chapter. 3.
High Flow Operation The S SP330 and SP350 are operated in a continuous flow mode ™ when used for high flow sampling with filter cassettes and other high flow sampling devices (i.e., cyclones, impactors, impingers, bubblers, IOM Samplers, etc). The S SP330 and SP350 have flow rate ranges ™...
Chapter 4 Maintenance The S SP330 and SP350 require periodic maintenance. The most ™ common procedures are listed below: • Charging NiMH batteries • Cyclone maintenance • Sorbent Tube Holder maintenance • U-Tube and Luer Adapter maintenance • Changing the pump inlet filters In addition to the procedures in this chapter, TSI recommends that you return your S Model SP330 or SP350 to the factory for annual...

Sorbent Tube Holders (sampling media not included) Cleaning the Sorbent Tube Holders The sorbent tube holders should be cleaned prior to each use. In most cases, simply cleaning the tube cover will be all that is needed. Inspect the inlet and the inside of the sorbent tube cover, as well as the single and multiple sorbent tube holders and tubing to look for damage or clogging regularly and clean it if necessary.

Respirable Cyclone Kit (sampling media not included) Four micrometers (4 μm) is the OSHA standard and is internationally accepted as the 50 percent cut-off size for respirable aerosols. Particles larger than 4 μm impact onto the surfaces of the upper respiratory tract and cannot reach the lungs.
The S SP330 or SP350 and cyclone/filter cassette assembly are ™ now ready to use. Attach the cyclone to the individual test subject’s clothing using the U-tube and clip provided with the cyclone. Cleaning the Cyclone The 10-mm Nylon Dorr-Oliver Cyclone should be cleaned prior to each use.
Pump Service Kit for the S SP330/SP350 ™ The S SP330 and SP350 have an inlet filter and Dust Plugs that are ™ designed to protect the pump components from contamination. TSI replaces these when the unit is returned for factory-authorized servicing (recommended every 12 months).
