the pump ﬂ ow rate.

primary standard calibrator.

The Approx Correction (approximate correction) is the diﬀ erence between the ﬂ ow rate displayed on the pump and the flow rate displayed on the calibrator. When a pump is connected to a calibrator, the ﬂ ow rate readout is determined by the calibrator and not the pump.

Figure 7. Flow Calibrate

Adjusting the Flow Correction

To select the approximate correction rate, click on the Down or Up bu on. The value changes as the bu on is clicked.

The pump should be calibrated before each sample run. Once calibrated, all volume displays will be accurate for that ﬂ ow rate. DataTrac 2000 will always display the last approximate correction value to which the connected pump has been set. Changing the ﬂ ow se ing on the pump clears the correction value (sets it to 0.0).

If the calibrator reads higher than the pump, decrease the ﬂ ow calibrate to equal the calibrator. If the calibrator reads lower than the pump, increase the ﬂ ow calibrate to equal the calibrator. The range of the correction is approximately ± 750 mL/min.

When calibrating, the ﬂ ow rate displayed on the calibrator changes; the ﬂ ow rate displayed on the pump LCD does not change.

Reset Button

To reset the correction value to 0.0 mL/min, click on the Reset Bu on.

Multiple Pumps Checkbox

Turn off Comm Checking before setting up multiple pumps. See Comm Checking Buttons on page 24.

If you wish to perform ﬂ ow calibration, reset volume temperature and time, or change parameter display scales for multiple pumps, click the Multiple Pumps checkbox in the Flow Calibrate section of the Real Time Monitor window.

Once checked, a separate window will open (Figure 7A). Set parameters as desired for one pump,

disconnect the interface cable from the pump, and insert the cable plug into the interface port on another AirChek 2000 pump. Once all pumps are set up, click the Multiple Pumps checkbox to deselect this option. You will be returned to the Real Time Monitor window.

Using Flow Calibrate

1. Set the pump to the desired ﬂ ow rate.

2. Connect the inlet port of the pump to a primary standard calibrator and read

the ﬂ ow on the calibrator.

3. Set the approximate correction as needed and recalibrate. The ﬂ ow rate that is

displayed on the calibrator should change as a result of this operation.

Example: The desired ﬂ ow rate of the pump is 1500 mL/min.

Set the pump to 1500 mL/min. If the calibrator reading is 1540 mL/min, adjust the Approx Correction to -40 mL/min and take another reading. Repeat as necessary until the ﬂ ow rate displayed on the calibrator is within the required tolerance.

History

If using the CalChek feature and a Defender calibrator, history will show entries marked “Pre Cal Flow” and “Post Cal Flow.” This indicates that a single point calibration was performed. Full calibration does not appear in the History. However, full calibration information can be viewed in the DataTrac Pump Manager window under the Calibration Info window in the View menu (see page 8).

Sample Program

This sample program demonstrates step-by-step how to use the SKC Pump Scheduler window (see page 18) to set a program:

A sampling operation requires the AirChek 2000/3000 pump to sample at a constant ﬂ ow of 1000 mL/min from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily for one work week. Enter the parameters as follows:

Set the ﬂ ow rate

Click on the New Value bu on. The Scheduler Set Flow window opens. Click on the 1000 bu on then click on OK. “1000” appears in the Flow Rate cell of the Program Edit Bar.

Set the start/stop date

Click on any Monday in the Calendar. The date is highlighted. Click on the Start Date cell in the Program Edit Bar. The date appears in the cell. Click on the Stop Date cell to enter the same date into the Stop Date cell.

Set the start time

Click on the Clock at 8. The clock hands will point to 8:00 and it also appears in the digital display next to the Clock. Click on the AM bu on, then click on the Start Time cell of the Program Edit Bar; 8:00 AM appears in the cell.

Click here

Set the stop time

Click on the Clock at 4. The clock hands will point at 4:00 and it also appears in the digital display next to the Clock. Click on the PM bu on, then click on the Stop Time cell of the Program Edit Bar; 4:00 PM appears in the cell. The Duration cell displays 8 hours, which is the length of the programmed operation.

Insert the program into the Pump Program Scheduler

Click on the Insert bu on. The program appears in the Pump Program Scheduler. Note that the program is still displayed in the Program Edit Bar. The Pump Program Scheduler has a program that tells the pump to run at a constant ﬂ ow of 1000 mL/min from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Monday. The same operating parameters must be entered for each day of the week.

Click here

Sample Program

Add extra days to the program schedule

Click on the +Day bu on. This will add one day to the Start Date and Stop Date in the Program Edit Bar. Click on Insert to place the program into the Pump Program Scheduler.

Repeat the procedure to add an additional day to the Pump Program Scheduler until each day of the week has been entered.

Set the desired Run Time Options

Select Pump Se ings from the Options menu and click on the desired Run Time Options (see page 26).

Line 1: HISTORY FILE (ﬁ le type identiﬁ er) Line 2: 3280 (DataTrac 2000 So ware revision number x 1000) Line 3: SN 627 (serial number of the pump) Line 4: 35898.637581 (time and date that the ﬁ le was stored. See Decoding Time Fields on page 43.) Lines 5, 6, 7: The minimum, maximum, and time-weighted average (TWA) of the data while the pump was running (min, max, and TWA temp are not updated when the pump is in Hold) Line 8: 9 (the ASCII value of the character used as the column separator, the default is TAB) Line 9: 8 (the number of periods in history) Lines 10-17: A breakdown of each history period ordered from most recent to oldest. Each line of the history is decoded as follows:

Column 1: Mode of Pump (See Decoding Pump Mode Fields, page 42) Column 2: Flow Rate of Pump Column 3: Start Date/Time (See Decoding Time Fields, page 43) Column 4: Stop Date/Time (See Decoding Time Fields, page 43)

Transferring History Files

Decoding Pump Mode Fields

The Pump Mode ﬁ eld must be converted to hexadecimal numbers. Many scientiﬁ c calculators are capable of this conversion. For example:

Decimal Hex

257 101 1314 522 1282 502 258 102 1 001 1025 401 261 105 262 106

Use the following values (or mask bits) for the hexadecimal number to determine the pump mode:

HOLD 001 RUN 002 FAULT 004 SLEEP 008 LOW BATTERY 010 SET FLOW 020 PROGHOLD 040 PROGRUN 080 STEL 100 LOCKOUT 200 USER SETUP 400 RESET 800 SINGLE POINT CAL 1000

Then add the bits to determine the code:

101 = STEL + HOLD 522 = USER SETUP + STEL + SET FLOW + RUN 502 = USER SETUP + STEL + RUN 102 = STEL + RUN 001 = HOLD 401 = USER SETUP + HOLD 105 = STEL + FAULT + HOLD 106 = STEL + FAULT + RUN

For example:

Code 1314 (hex 522): pump was in the user interface having its flow (or flow correction) adjusted.

Code 258 (hex 102): pump was running a STEL.

Transferring History Files

Decoding Time Fields

Time ﬁ elds are based on a simple mathematical relationship. The number represents the time that has elapsed since midnight December 30, 1899, in days. For example:

Time Value Represents

0.25 Dec 30, 1899 6:00 AM

0.75 Dec 30, 1899 6:00 PM

1.5 Dec 31, 1899 Noon

365.25 Dec 30, 1900 6:00 AM

35065.625 Jan 1, 1996 3:00 PM

The integer portion of the number represents the number of days that have elapsed since Dec 30, 1899. The fractional portion is the fractional part of a day (0 is midnight,

0.5 is noon and 0.9999884 is one second before midnight).

This is a time format used in several applications. For example, if these numbers are imported into Excel for Windows they can be directly converted into time and date with the sequence:

Format, Cell, Modify, Number, Date, m/d/yy h:mm.

Note: The column width will have to be adjusted to display the day and date correctly.

Troubleshooting
