Description
SKC AirChek XR5000 Sample Pumps are designed to offer users enhanced battery
power and easy operation in a lightweight pump that provides accurate airfl ows from
5 to 5000 ml/min.
• Three battery options provide fl exibility and economy for different applications
including long run times.
• The large three-button keypad and straightforward user setup functions offer userfriendly conveniences.
AirChek XR5000 pumps feature a patented* isothermal fl ow sensor that measures fl ow
directly and acts as a secondary standard, constantly maintaining the set fl ow rate. A
built-in sensor compensates for changes in temperature that occur after calibration.

UL Listed for intrinsic safety contain the logo on
the label. These models must be used with battery pack

safety listing.
Cautions:
• For safe operation in hazardous locations, ensure the pump label
contains the logo and the battery pack label contains Cat.
No. P85004 or P85002. Use of any other battery pack or device to
power the pump voids the UL Listing for intrinsic safety.
• Use onl y 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.
• Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.

Charging the Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
For models containing a lithium-ion battery pack only.
Power
supply
Shown with single charger (Cat. No. 222-241). A
fi ve-station charger is available; see Accessories
on page 18. Follow charger instructions.
STOP!
Completely charge a new battery pack
before operating the pump. It may be
necessary to charge the battery a few
times before maximum battery capacity
is achieved.
Intrinsic safety circuitry inside the
battery causes the pump to selfdischarge during storage. Charge
Li-Ion pump battery completely
before calibration and sampling to
achieve optimum pump operation.

1. For a complete charge, ensure the pump is not running. Insert plug on charging
unit into the battery charging jack on back of pump. Ensure plug is oriented so
that the arrow on the plug is facing upward.
Ensure proper orientation of charging cable before plugging it into
the charging jack. Improper orientation/contact will short circuit the
battery and voids any warranty.
Short circuiting the battery pack will render it immediately inoperative.
2. Insert plug on power supply into jack on charging unit.
3. Pull locking tab to side and insert appropriate
wall plug into power supply. Release locking
tab. Plug power supply into a wall outlet.
The standard 2-cell Li-Ion battery pack will
recharge in approximately 4 hours. The highpower 4-cell Li-Ion battery pack will recharge in
approximately 8 hours. Run pump for 5 minutes
after charging is complete.
Note
Note
After charging the battery pack, it is good practice to run the pump for
approximately 5 minutes before calibrating. This ensures the battery is in
more steady-state conditions and improves the agreement in pre and postsampling calibrations.
The battery pack may be kept on SKC-approved Li-Ion battery chargers for
an indefi nite time.
