AirLite Quick Start Guide On/Off 1. Lift control cover on top of pump. 2. Press on/off button. Setting Flow Rate (1000 to 3000 ml/min) 1. Set up sampling train. 2. Connect calibrator to inlet of sample medium. 3. Turn on pump and adjust flow adjustment screw on pump until desired flow rate is indicated on calibrator. Take a minimum of three readings. Calculate flow as the average of three readings. LED Indicators Slow flash = normal run Fast flash = flow fault Double flash = low battery, approximate minimum one-hour run time remaining Flash every eight seconds = pump shutdown due to exhausted batteries Four flashes every six seconds = pump shutdown due to flow fault Note: Indication of pump shutdown due to exhausted batteries will override all other indicators. -
Page 7: Description
Description The AirLite Personal Sampling Pump is specifically designed for personal sampling of ® asbestos, lead, and other airborne contaminants in environments where intrinsic safety is not required. Powered by economical, disposable AA alkaline batteries, the AirLite provides run times greater than 8 hours in the 1000 to 3000 ml/min flow range with full back pressure compensation. -

Page 11: Setting The Flow Rate For High Flow Sampling
Setting or Verifying the Flow Rate For High Flow Sampling (1000 to 3000 ml/min) Using -inch ID tubing, connect a representative sampling medium to the pump inlet (Figure 1, #4). Connect an external flowmeter to the inlet of the sampling medium. Turn on the pump using the on/off button (Figure 1, #8). To adjust the flow, turn the flow adjustment screw (Figure 1, #6) clockwise to increase the flow or counterclockwise to decrease the flow until the desired flow rate is indicated on the flowmeter. When the desired flow is obtained, take three readings to confirm that the flow rate is consistent. Calculate and record the flow rate as the average of three readings. Disconnect the flowmeter and replace the representative sampling medium with a new unexposed medium for sample collection.

Page 12: Setting The Flow Rate For Low Flow Sampling
Setting or Verifying the Flow Rate For Low Flow Sampling (5 to 500 ml/min) (Requires optional Constant Pressure Controller (CPC) and Adjustable Low Flow Tube Holders - see Low Flow Adapter Kit in Optional Accessories.) See Figure 2. The Constant Pressure Controller (CPC) accessory, Cat. No. 224- 26CPC-10, is used as a pressure regulator to maintain a constant 10 inches water back pressure for low flow sampling. The CPC is used in conjunction with an Adjustable Low Flow Tube Holder (Cat. Nos. 224-26-01, -02, -03, or -04) for single or multiple-tube... - Page 13 Turn off the pump. Disconnect the flowmeter and replace the representative tubes with new unexposed media for sampling. Caution: Long-duration Color Detector Tubes require a special tube cover that accommodates an in-line trap tube. The trap tube protects the pump from caustic fumes that are often released from detector tubes. Please read closely all precautions when using these tubes.

Page 14: Sampling
Sampling Calibrate the sample pump for the desired flow rate (see Setting or Verifying the Flow Rate, pages 7 & 8). Attach the pump to a worker’s belt and the sampling medium to the worker’s collar (near the breathing zone). Turn on the pump. Record the start time and any other pertinent data. Monitor pump and battery status by observing the LED (see Reading the LED below). At the end of the sampling period, record the stop... -
Page 15: Flow Fault Detection
Flow Fault Detection (Pumps are shipped with flow fault enabled.) If the pump is unable to compensate for > 10 seconds due to excessive back pressure, the pump enters flow fault. The motor will stop and the LED will flash quickly. The auto- restart feature will attempt to restart the pump after 10 seconds. If back pressure is not corrected for an additional 10 seconds, the pump will attempt a second restart. The pump will continue restart attempts every 10 seconds for a total of five times. If restart attempts are unsuccessful, the pump will shutdown and the LED will flash four times every six seconds. If the excessive back pressure is removed within the five restart attempts, the pump will run normally. Note: The pump must be running without fault for at least 20 seconds for the auto-restart feature to be reset to five tries. Disabling the Fault Shutdown and Auto-restart Features If the fault link is fitted when the pump... -
