OPERATION Setting/Calibrating Pump Flow Rate Flow rate is set and calibrated through the Sample menu as described below. Also see the procedures for setting/calibrating flow at 1 to 5 L/min and 5 to 500 ml/min, respectively. 1. In Sample menu, touch Set/Cal. 2. -
Page 11: Setting/Calibrating Flow Rate From 1 To 5 L/Min
Setting/Calibrating Flow Rate from 1 to 5 L/min • Allow pump to equilibrate after moving it from one temperature extreme to another. • Charge pump battery completely before calibration and sampling. • To achieve the best results, run the pump for 10 to 15 minutes before calibration. 1. -

Page 18: Fault Mode And Display
Fault Mode and Display During a sample run, overloaded sampled media or kinked tubing can restrict airflow and cause back pressure to build to a point at which the pump can no longer compensate flow within ± 5%. This also may happen when battery voltage is too low to maintain set flow. -
Page 19: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Replacing the Battery Pack Ensure that pump is turned off before removing the battery pack and that no tubing or media are attached to the pump. 1. Turn the pump off by pressing the on/off button. 2. Remove the existing battery pack. a. -
