Page 3: Introduction
QUI-1164 Introduction ACTI-VOC PLUS (part no. C-FFP-01) is a robust fast-flow pump for sampling volatile organic compounds (VOCs) onto sorbent tubes for subsequent analysis by thermal desorption (TD). The ACTI-VOC PLUS is optimised for sampling onto TD tubes, automatically compensating for different impedances, ensuring that the desired constant-flow is achieved at all times. -

Page 10: Familarisation
QUI-1164 Familarisation Preparation Ensure the ACTI-VOC PLUS is fully charged prior to first use. The charge status is displayed with coloured LEDs; a red LED indicates charging is in progress, whilst a green LED indicates the pump is charged and ready for use. During a top off charge, the green LED will flash. -

Page 12: Calibration
QUI-1164 Calibration Calibration (flow rate verification) must be performed before sampling to ensure the pump is working efficiently, and when setting the flow rate. In constant-flow mode, you need only set the flow rate at the beginning of your sampling period with the use of a calibration tube –... - Page 13 QUI-1164 Attach the PTFE tubing to the pump inlet port and push your sorbent tube for calibration into the relevant adapter. The sampling arrow on the TD tube should be pointing towards the pump. Use the back-pressure adapter when setting flows of up to 100 mL/min; NOTES use the plastic tube adapter when setting flows in excess of 100 mL/min.

(not supplied with the pump – contact your local Markes International dealer for more information). Flows greater than 450 mL/min will not be achievable with all TD tube types. -
Page 17: General Operation
QUI-1164 General operation Sampling events The ACTI-VOC PLUS stores data for each sample event. The event data includes: sample time, flow, volume and backpressure and is stored into non-volatile memory. When the sampling event is stopped, the run data is available for review. The data from the last 16 events is available in the data review menu, which is accessible from the main menu. - Page 18 QUI-1164 pump will attempt an automatic re-start after 3 minutes. If the fault cause is corrected during the time period the pump will resume sampling. After ten restart attempts, the pump will end the sampling event. If fault retry is disabled, the sampling event will end when the pump stops after 30 seconds of operation in fault and no retry will be attempted.

Page 20: Battery Replacement
QUI-1164 ■ The battery pack has an estimated life of 300–500 charge-discharge cycles, depending on use and storage conditions. ■ Battery life can be extended by storing in cool conditions. High temperatures can cause accelerated aging. ■ To recondition the battery, put it on the charging dock for 12 hours. The dock will fast charge the battery and the additional trickle charge time will recondition it for maximum capacity. -
Page 21: Pump Filter Maintenance
QUI-1164 Be careful not to overtighten. NOTES Charge the battery. Pump filter maintenance The pump filter protects the pump from contamination by particulates if operated without an effective sampling filter. This filter is user replaceable and should be replaced if discoloured, clogged or obstructed in any way. Under normal operating conditions, the pump filter should be changed after approximately six months or 250 hours of operation, or when needed. -
