Battery Operation

Installing the Battery Pack

1. Carefully align the battery jack on the battery pack with the battery terminal on the bottom of the pump base plate and push the battery pack into place.

2. Insert and tighten two security screws provided.

3. Charge battery completely before operating pump. See Charging the Battery Pack .

Charging the Battery Pack

For optimum charge, ensure the pump is not running while charger is attached. To charge the battery, orient plug on charging cable properly ( see caution and photo below ). Insert the charging plug from the charger into the battery charging jack on the back of the pump. Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. The PowerFlex Charger will fully recharge the battery in 6 to 8.5 hours (see Accessories for charger) . Follow charger instructions.

Battery

Charging

Jack

Ensure proper orientation of charging cable plug before inserting it into the charging jack. Improper orientation/contact will short-circuit the battery. See photo at right. Note the keyed side of the charging cable plug must mate with the keyed side of the pump charging jack. Inserting the plug does not take much force. If force is required, the plug is not properly oriented.

Short-circuiting the battery pack will render it immediately inoperative.

After charging the battery pack, it is good practice to run the pump for approximately five minutes before calibrating. This ensures the battery is in more steady-state conditions and improves the agreement in pre and post-sampling calibrations.

Do not charge or operate pump from charger in hazardous locations.

Use only SKC-approved charger designated for this model to ensure reliable performance. Failure to do so voids any warranty.

Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.

The battery pack may be kept on the SKC-approved charger for an indefinite time.

Battery Operation

Battery Charge Level Indicator

Three bars indicate a full charge (normally appears after charging), approximately 75 to 100%.

Two bars indicate that the battery is charged enough to operate the pump, approximately 25 to 75%.

One bar indicates battery charge is low (charge battery), approximately 1 to 25%.

Low Battery Fault

No bars and a flashing outline indicate a Low Battery Fault (pump will go into HOLD, and then SLEEP mode in 10 seconds). Run time data can be displayed by pressing any button. The pump will return to SLEEP in 10 seconds. This may be repeated.

When the pump stops due to a low battery and is left to stand for a period of time, one battery bar may appear. This false “recovery” will fall quickly if the pump is operated without recharging it.

RECHARGE THE PUMP BEFORE SAMPLING.

Replacing the Battery Pack

Battery Replacement Notes:

• To retain pump history, ensure the pump has been allowed to go to

SLEEP after the last run. Pump history will be lost if the battery pack or

AC power (battery eliminator) is removed while the pump is running.

SKC recommends that data be downloaded to a PC using DataTrac

2000 Software prior to removal of the battery or power.

• Replacing the battery pack may erase scheduled runs programmed with DataTrac 2000 Software. After replacing the battery pack, use the software to reprogram the scheduled runs in the AirChek 2000 pump.

• Replacing the battery pack will erase sampling time, delayed start, and other settings entered using the pump keypad. Reset these parameters after replacing the battery pack.

1. Release the battery pack by removing the two security screws located on the bottom of the battery pack. Pull the battery pack away from the pump body.

Use of a repaired or rebuilt battery pack voids any warranty and the UL

Listing for intrinsic safety.

Do not charge or operate the pump from the charger in hazardous locations!

Use only an SKC-approved charger and battery pack designed for the

AirChek 2000 Sample Pump to ensure reliable performance. Failure to do so voids any warranty and the UL Listing for intrinsic safety.

Use of any device other than the approved battery pack to power the pump voids the UL Listing for intrinsic safety and any warranty.

Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.

 For more information on battery care and maintenance, go to http://www.skcinc.com/instructions/1756.pdf.

Battery Eliminator

The Battery Eliminator is an accessory that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) from which the pump can be operated for extended runs. The Battery Eliminator should be used in non-hazardous locations only. See Accessories for ordering.

To use the Battery Eliminator, the battery pack must be removed from the pump (see Replacing the Battery Pack ). The Battery Eliminator is comprised of two pieces, (1) a wall cube that converts AC voltage to DC voltage and (2) a power adapter that reduces DC voltage. The wall cube fits into a standard wall outlet and its plug end is inserted into the power adapter. The power adapter is fitted on the pump in place of the battery pack.

Use the battery eliminator to operate the pump in non-hazardous locations only.

Use of the battery eliminator to power the pump voids the UL Listing for intrinsic safety.

Operation

Flow Rate and Volume Display

Flow rate displayed on the pump LCD is the flow to which the pump has been calibrated. To maintain flow as displayed, the pump automatically adjusts flow during sampling for changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure* that may differ from the temperature and atmospheric pressure present at the time of calibration. The flow rate display does not change from the calibrated flow rate. The pump will fault if it is unable to maintain the calibrated flow rate.

Volume displayed on the pump LCD is ”corrected” in that it is the result of a continual calculation of corrected flow rate multiplied by sample time.

* The pump can apply correction to volumetric flow during sampling for weather-related or altitude variations from the atmospheric pressure established at calibration up to at least

7500 feet above and 5000 feet below sea level.

High Flow Applications (1000 to 3250 ml/min)

Set/Calibrate Flow Rate (Manual)

• Allow pump to equilibrate after moving it from one temperature extreme to another.

• Charge pump battery completely before calibration and sampling.

• Pressing [  ] will place a running pump in HOLD, and a holding pump in RUN.

• If a delayed start or DataTrac 2000 schedule has been programmed into the pump, it may remain in pump memory. PROG will display in the upper left corner of the pump display. To delete this program, enter User Interface Level Two, scroll to the flashing OFF, and press [  ].

1. Ensure that battery is fully charged and that pump has run for 5 minutes before calibrating.

2. Prepare the calibrator. See calibrator instructions .

Set/Calibrate Flow Rate (CalChek Single-point)

Calibration Using the CalChek Automatic Calibration Feature

• If using a pump version below 2.59, a pump upgrade is required for the CalChek feature. Contact SKC.

• Do not perform single-point calibration until the pump has remained at ambient temperature for several hours.

• Successful single-point calibration will provide an entry in the pump history that can be viewed using DataTrac 2000 Software (v. 3.59 or higher). If used with earlier

DataTrac 2000 versions, the entry will appear as an undecipherable code; update

DataTrac 2000 Software. If an error occurs during calibration, the event will not be stored in history.

The CalChek automatic calibration feature is available when calibrating an

AirChek 2000 Pump with a Defender Calibrator. A CalChek Communication

Cable (Cat. No. 210-502) is required. Optional DataTrac 2000 Software can be used to expand the documentation capabilities of this system. The CalChek feature provides two calibration options: single-point calibration allows setting and verifying a flow rate at a single point before and after sampling. Multiplepoint (full) calibration corrects flow to a primary standard at multiple flow rates to cover the basic operational flow range of the pump. See Maintenance for full calibration procedure. Both types of calibration bring flow to within 5%.

The CalChek feature provides correction at a single flow setting and takes less than one minute to complete. Use it to set the desired flow rate before sampling and to verify flow after sampling.

1. Run the pump for 5 minutes before starting calibration. Leave the pump on.

2. Use 1/4-inch tubing to connect the Defender Calibrator suction port to the inlet of a representative sampling medium and the outlet of the medium to the pump inlet.

Full Calibration (CalChek Multiple-point)

This type of calibration provides flow correction across the basic operating range of the AirChek 2000 pump (750 to 3000 ml/min) in approximately four minutes. The operation calibrates each flow rate to a calibrator. It can also provide a record of calibration for maintenance and quality purposes if

DataTrac 2000 Software is used. SKC recommends that a full calibration be performed during pump maintenance and after non-factory repairs.

Full calibration clears history, run time parameters, and the Scheduler in

DataTrac 2000 Software.

Do NOT place sampling media in line for full calibration. Ensure the battery pack is completely charged before starting a full calibration.

Do not perform multiple-point calibration until the pump has remained at ambient temperature for several hours.

1. Run the pump for 5 minutes before starting calibration. Leave the pump on.

2. Use 1/4-inch tubing to connect the Defender Calibrator suction port to the

AirChek 2000 pump inlet. Do NOT place sample medium in line.

3. Follow Steps 3 through 9 from Single-point Calibration Using CalChek on pages 18 and 19.

4. Verify that the battery icon on the pump display shows at least two bars.

If it does not, charge the battery before proceeding.

5. Press on the pump keypad seven times to place pump in full calibration mode.

6. The Defender Calibrator will begin to automatically calibrate the pump.

Initial flow measurements are taken without flow from the pump and the pump flow rate is adjusted automatically. The pump will display FCAL,

25

Maintenance

CS1, and a brief flow rate. The pump will continue to display CS2, then a flow rate, CS3, then a flow rate, etc. until calibration is completed at all flow rates between 750 and 3000 ml/min.

Full calibration begins at flows lower than 750 ml/min. At these lower flow rates, the calibrator piston will move slowly. This is normal; do not interrupt calibration.

CalChek full calibration can be aborted by pressing [  ]. The pump will go to HOLD.

7. When calibration is completed, the pump will go to HOLD. If the calibration was successful, the pump LCD will revert to displaying pump run time as zero. If there was failure during the calibration process, an error code of E4[x] will appear. See CalChek Error Chart .

Note: To remove a CalChek error code from the LCD, press  .

8. Allow the pump to go to SLEEP mode to write calibration data to pump memory.

Data does not write to pump memory until pump has gone into

SLEEP mode.

CalChek Full Calibration Data

Full calibration data can be viewed and printed by going to the DataTrac

2000 Pump Manager window and clicking on the View menu. Choose

Calibration Info. This will display calibration results, pump serial number, and date of the last full calibration. A button allows this data to be printed.

The printed report contains pump version, date printed, and a validation code.

CalChek Calibration Data Verification in DataTrac 2000 Software

This feature requires pump version 2.62 or higher and DataTrac 2000

Software version 3.62 or higher.

To ensure that printed data has not been tampered with, pull down the Tools menu and choose Confirm Validation Code. Enter the data from the printed report, including the validation code. DataTrac 2000 will indicate whether the information is completely valid or if a parameter has been changed.

Clearing the history will not clear full calibration data. This data can only be cleared by performing another full calibration or by obtaining more than 36 pump history records.

When entering data to confirm the validation number, enter the date in the following format: mmm dd, yyyy (e.g., Aug 18, 2009)
