Pump Unit The pump unit is housed in a red plastic case. A GX‐7 type male quick connect fitting is located on one end of the pump unit. This is the inlet fitting to the pump unit. The GX‐7 quick connect is installed in a removable clear plastic filter holder. A cotton dust filter is inside the filter holder. The filter holder may be removed by turning it counterclockwise and pulling it away from the pump unit. Two flat membrane disk hydrophobic filters and a wire mesh disk are located in the pump unit on the filter holder end. The battery compartment is located on the other end of the pump unit. One AA alkaline battery is installed in the battery compartment and held in place by a black plastic battery cap. The battery cap may be removed for access to the battery by pushing it down, turning it 1 / 4 turn counterclockwise, and pulling it away from the pump unit. The exhaust fitting is located under the battery cap tab. A POWER button, a power indication LED, and a low flow LED are located along the middle front of the pump unit. The power LED is on when the pump unit is on. The low flow LED flashes when the pump is experiencing a low flow condition. An instrument release indicator and an instrument lock indicator are located on the front left of the pump unit. The indicator tab on the battery cap indicates the current position of ...
gasket. Rubber Sample Nipple A cone shaped 4 inch long rubber sample nipple is included with the RP‐2009 and is normally installed on the inlet fitting by pushing the larger end over it. The smaller end can be inserted in a hole or some other access to an enclosed area to sample the environment. Optional Hose & Probe When desired, the rubber sample nipple may be removed and a sample hose and probe with GX‐7 fittings (optional accessories) may be connected to the inlet fitting. Sample hose lengths are available from 10 feet to 30 feet (see Parts List at the end of the manual). CAUTION: Sample hose lengths of more than 30 feet are not recommended for the RP‐2009 because of flow rate reduction. RP-2009 Pump for the GX-2009 ...
