Gilian 12 Sampling Pump SECTION FIVE Operation 5.1 Starting The Sample Run NOTE: Total Run Time and Total Volume Sampled are cumulative from one sample run to the next unless you reset the flow rate, clear the display, or calibrate the display.
Page 22
Gilian 12 Air Sampling Pump Manual Mode: Press and hold the RUN button until “SCAL” is displayed, then release button. Pump will start 10 seconds later. Note: “SCAL” indicates pump is doing an internal Self Adjustment. This self adjustment may occur during the course of a sample if the temperature changes by more than 3ºC.
Gilian 12 Sampling Pump 5.2 Stopping The Sample Run Press and hold the STOP button until pump motor stops. Pump alternately displays following screens: L M I N Set Flow Rate Total Run Time Total Volume Sampled (liters) NOTE If the pump motor does not stop, go to Section 5.4 to unlock the keypad.
Gilian 12 Air Sampling Pump 5.3 Locking The Keypad The keypad can be locked to prevent tampering. To lock, press and hold both SET/CAL and ▲/CLR buttons for 5 seconds until “LOCK” is displayed. Note: Keypad cannot be locked during “SCAL”.
Changing the flow rate will also clear previous run data. 5.6 Flow Calculation The Gilian 12 calculates the total air volume sampled using the following formula: Total Air Volume (Liters) = Air Flow Rate (AFR) (L/min) x Sample Time (ST) (minutes) / 1000 (cc/Liter)
Do not charge or replace battery pack while in an explosive atmosphere. Use only Sensidyne charger PN 298-0013-01 or other charger designated for Gilian 12. The Gilian 12 pump uses rechargeable Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries that must be fully charged and properly maintained for maximum run time. The battery pack has a charge time under 4 hours using Fast Charger (PN 298-0013-01).
Gilian 12 Sampling Pump 6.2 Pump Filter Maintenance Change or clean internal pump filter screen PN 811-1502-01 when it is dirty or damaged. Reuse o-ring and ensure it is properly seated when reinstalling. 360-0190-01 - (Rev H)
