unexposed media for sampling.
12
Calibration
Calibration (Low Flow: 5 to 500 ml/min)
Requires Constant Pressure Controller (CPC) and Adjustable Low Flow Tube Holder see Accessories, Low Flow Adapter Kit on page 18. The low fl ow tube holder (low fl ow adapter
kit, Cat. No. 210-500) used with CPC allows up to four tube samples to be taken simultaneously,
each at different fl ow rates if desired.
Before use, allow pump to equilibrate after moving it from one
temperature extreme to another.
Charge pump battery completely before calibration and sampling.
1. Run pump for 5 minutes before performing calibration.
2. a. For single-tube applications, set the fl ow rate to 1500
ml/min (see Setting Flow Rate).
b. For multiple-tube applications, the pump fl ow rate
must be set at ≥ 15% higher than the sum of the fl ow
rates through all tubes.
Do not exceed 500 ml/min fl ow rate
per tube for multiple-tube sampling.
3. Use tubing on the CPC to connect the pump
inlet to the CPC outlet (the side of the CPC
without a label). Connect the inlet side of the
CPC (marked “to sample”) to the Adjustable
Low Flow Tube Holder.
4. Label all tubes and ports if performing
multiple-tube sampling.
5. Insert opened representative tubes into the
rubber sleeve(s) of each port on the Adjustable
Low Flow Tube Holder. If any ports remain unused, place unopened tubes in
them; it is important to “seal” unused ports.
6. Loosen the brass fl ow adjust screw on the low fl ow holder. Use tubing to connect the
exposed end of one tube to a primary standard calibrator.
7. Turn on pump. Turn the fl ow adjust screw (needle valve) on the tube holder until the
calibrator indicates the desired fl ow rate (do not adjust the fl ow rate of the pump).
For multiple-tube sampling, repeat this procedure for each port to calibrate the fl ow
rate for each tube. Seal unused ports during calibration with unopened tubes.
8. Disconnect the calibrator and tubing. Replace representative tubes with new
unexposed tubes for sampling.
Adjust fl ow with fl ow adjust
screw on tube holder.
Note
The CPC has two small inlet ports on the bottom of the unit. These ports should
be inspected periodically for blockage, which can occur when sampling in dusty
environments. Blocked ports will cause back pressure to increase. Clean ports
with a small pick and use air to blow away particles.
13
Sampling
Sampling
• Before use, allow pump to equilibrate after moving it from
one temperature extreme to another.
• Use of any device or battery pack other than P85004 and
P84002 to power the pump voids the UL Listing for intrinsic
safety.
• Charge pump battery completely before calibration and
sampling.
1. Calibrate pump fl ow rate (see Setting Flow Rate and Calibration).
2. Replace representative sampling media with new unexposed media.
3. To start a continuous or timed sample run, press []. Record start time and
other pertinent information.
Note
• Sampling will start automatically if a run delay is set and initiated. Sampling
will stop automatically if a timed run is set and initiated.
• For automatic start and stop, set and initiate both a run delay and a timed run.
• For multiple-tube sampling, seal unused holder ports with unopened tubes.
4. Sample for the time specifi ed in the method used. Accumulated run time will
display on the LCD.
5. To stop a sample run, press []. This places the pump in
Hold. Record stop time and other pertinent information.
a. To resume sample run without clearing accumulated
run time, press [].
b. To clear accumulated run time, place pump in Hold, press to enter
user setup functions, and press [] when CLr displays.
When using impingers, place a trap between the pump and the
impinger to protect the pump from harmful liquids or vapors. Failure
to use the impinger trap voids any warranty.
Flow Fault
If the pump is unable to compensate for longer than 15 seconds
due to excessive back pressure, the pump enters fl ow fault.
During fl ow fault, the fault icon displays on the display and
fl ashes during the length of the fault, the pump enters Hold
mode, and the accumulated run time display is retained. The
pump will restart in 15 seconds and try to continue sampling.
If the fl ow remains restricted, the pump will return to fl ow
fault. Auto-restart is attempted every 15 seconds up to 5 times.
Flow fault time is not added to accumulated run time.
Flow fault during
continuous run
To clear a fl ow fault and the fl ow fault icon, determine the cause of the fault, remedy
the fault cause, and press
[] to remove the icon from the LCD and restart the pump.
14
Sampling
Note
Tip
A low battery fault may occur instead of a fl ow fault when there is a low battery
charge at the time of the fault, excessive back pressure, and/or when there is a
very short distance between the restriction and the pump inlet (e.g., fi nger fault
versus pinched tubing). The fl ow fault icon will not appear and auto-restart
will not be activated under these conditions. A low battery fault icon (see
page 7) will appear instead and the pump will go to Sleep.
If pump goes to Sleep while in fl ow fault, the fl ow fault icon may remain on the
display when the pump is subsequently turned on. T o remove the icon from the
display, place pump in Hold, press to enter user setup functions, and
press [] when CLr appears.

• Use only the charger and battery packs designed for the AirChek
XR5000 pump to ensure reliable performance. Failure to do so
voids any warranty.
• Use only SKC-approved parts to ensure reliable performance and
to maintain the UL Listing for intrinsic safety. Failure to do so voids
any warranty.
• Tampering with the battery pack or using a repaired or rebuilt
battery pack voids any warranty and UL Listing for intrinsic safety.
• Do not open, disassemble, short circuit, crush, incinerate, or
expose the battery to fi re or high temperatures.
• Use only the SKC-approved charger for this pump. Use of an unapproved charger may damage the battery and pump and voids any warranty.
