Introduction

Description

The QuickTake

30 Sample Pump (Figure 1) is a portable battery-powered air sample pump that maintains constant airflow from

10 to 30 L/min for use with the BioStage

cassettes, or other samplers requiring flows up to 30 L/min. A diaphragm pump operating with a closed loop flow control system, the

QuickTake 30 maintains true constant flow. The QuickTake 30 features a programmable timer that provides up to eight programmable

run time presets of 1 to 999 minutes, continuous run with manual shut-off, or intermittent sampling. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery

pack provides effective run times. See Appendix: Performance Profile - Typical Cumulative Run Time.

Page 8 End Sample and Reset the Pump For timed and continuous runs: from a running pump, press []. The pump is now in Hold. Press while in  Hold. Sample reset (rSEt) will display. Press [] to zero the cumulative run time and reset the pump. Digital display: For intermittent sampling, there is no Hold.
Page 9 Advanced Operation Intermittent Sampling (Setup and Sampling) Intermittent Sampling mode allows the pump to be programmed to run for a specific number of minutes up to 999, to shut off for a programmed length of time, and to continue sampling on and off for a predetermined number of cycles. An example is programming the pump to run three cycles (n) of 15 minutes each (r) with a 5-minute delay (d) between each cycle.

Page 12 If reinstalling the existing battery, remove as much of the previous adhesive as possible from the bottom of the battery. Remove the protective strip from one side of a new two-inch piece of double-sided mounting tape (available from SKC as Cat. No. 51872) and apply to the bottom of the battery.
Page 13 Li-Ion Battery Testing and Shipment Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for use with SKC sample pumps have been tested in accordance with the UN Manual and are proven to meet requirements of each test in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3. The batteries are rated below 100 watt-hours (Wh).
Page 14 • 37-mm, 0.8-μm MCE filter: > 14 hrs at 10 L/min (battery only) * Sampling times when using spore traps are usually ≤ 10 min. SKC recommends reducing length of sample time when using a 30 L/min flow rate to prevent overloading the media.
