Pump Features

All Models

SKC offer two battery charger options for the Sidekick series pumps, a single
charger (Part No. 223-203A) and a five station charger (Part No. 223-103A).

Page 4 224-SMTXM Issue F www.skcltd.com

Both charger models provide optimum charging of the NiMH battery packs
used in the Sidekick series pumps, based on a timed (16 hour) constant
current charging phase followed by a switch to a trickle charging rate to
prevent overcharging.

The Sidekick series pumps can also be powered from the electrical mains
supply using a ‘battery eliminator’ (Part Nos. 223-300B - Euro 2 pin plug, 223­300C UK 3 pin plug). This accessory comprises a mains adaptor and dummy
battery pack which is fitted to the pump in place of the standard battery pack.
Please note that the pump’s ATEX certification is invalidated when using the
battery eliminator, and therefore must not be used in hazardous areas when
the battery eliminator is fitted.

Automatic pump shutdown in the event of a low battery condition. Prevents
degradation of battery pack due to over-discharge.

Built in replaceable filter to trap particles that would otherwise contaminate
the pump mechanism.

General Information

1) Pump Models

224-50MH Standard pump with simple on/off control. Non-intrinsically safe model.

224-51MTX Intermediate pump with simple on/off control. Intrinsically safe model.

224-52MTX Deluxe pump with simple on/off control and elapsed time display. Intrinsically safe model.

2) Care of Sidekick Series Pumps

• Always use the correct SKC batteries and battery chargers designated for the Sidekick series pumps.

• Never run the pump long term without a tube or filter medium in place.

• When carrying out sampling using long term colour change tubes always use a tandem tube holder with trap tube

(Part No. 222-3D-2 and cover 224-29T). This will prevent the aggressive fumes generated by these tubes from
entering and damaging the pump mechanism.

• When carrying out sampling using impingers always fit a trap between the impinger and pump inlet. This will prevent
the possibility of the fluid used in the impinger from entering and damaging the pump mechanism. As a further
precaution always ensure that the pump flow rate is set to below 1 litre/min before connecting the trap and impinger
to the pump inlet. For stability use the accessory mounting screws (refer to pump diagram on pages 8 and 9) to fix
the impinger bracket to the front of the pump.

• The Sidekick series pump cases are IP20 rated, they are not rated as water or splashproof and therefore must not be
used where it is possible for water to enter the pump casing.

• Sidekick pumps are fitted with a particulate filter which is easy to replace. This is situated under the hose connector,
which has a screw fitting. For general maintenance replace the filter every 2-3 months or if it appears dirty. New filters
are white in colour (order Part No. P40370).

Warning - Failure to follow these guidelines will void the product warranty.

Getting Started

APPLICABLE TO ALL MODELS

1) Charging the Battery Pack

Prior to first use the battery pack should be fully charged, ideally overnight.

The Sidekick series pumps must only be charged using the correct SKC chargers (Part Nos. 223-203A - single
charger, 223-103A - five station charger).

The charger is supplied with mains input plugs suitable for use in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia / New
Zealand. Select the correct mains input plug and fit it to the charger.

Plug the charger output jack plug into the mating socket at the rear of the battery pack. Plug the charger into
the electrical mains supply and switch on the power. The LED indicator on the charger will illuminate to indicate
that the charger is charging at full rate.

After 16 hours the charger will automatically switch to trickle charge, identified by the LED indicator on the
charger flashing on and off.

When fully charged disconnect the charger jack plug from the battery pack.

2) Accessing the Controls

The controls of the Sidekick series pumps are located under the clear plastic snap-down cover (No 13). This
cover is intentionally ‘stiff’ to open thus preventing accidental operation of the controls.

3) On/Off Switch (No. 2)

Press the on/off switch down to the ON position and the pump will start to run. At the end of the sample
period press the on/off switch again to the OFF position to stop the pump.

Getting Started

8) Elapsed Run Time Display

When the pump is started using the on/off switch the elapsed run time display on the LCD screen will reset
to ‘000’ and then increment in one minute steps up to ‘999’. Above ‘999’ the display alternates displaying
the first two digits of the elapsed run time and the last three digits. For example, a pump that has run for
1,440 minutes would first display ‘01’ and then ‘440’. The maximum elapsed run time display is 99,999
minutes, above which the display reverts to ‘000’ and continues to increment.

When the pump is stopped at the end of the sample period using the on/off switch, the elapsed run time is
retained on the LCD screen. When the pump is restarted using the on/off switch the elapsed run time will reset
to ‘000’ and commence recording the elapsed run time again.

9) Low Battery Shut Down Function

In the event of a low battery condition during a sample run the pump will automatically shut down, the elapsed
run time is retained on the LCD screen and the low battery status indicator is displayed. To recover from a
low battery shut down condition fully charge the battery and press the on/off switch twice to switch the pump
off and then on again. The elapsed run time display will reset to ‘000’ and the pump will operate as normal.

10) Flow Fault Function

In the event of a flow fault condition, caused by obstructed tubing or excessive filter loading for example, that
persists for longer than 15 seconds, the pump will automatically shut down. The pump will then automatically
restart to check if the fault has been cleared. The pump will attempt a total of four restarts before shutting down
completely if the flow fault condition persists. The elapsed run time is retained on the LCD screen and the flow
fault status indicator is displayed. To recover from a flow fault condition investigate and correct the cause of
the flow fault. Press the on/off switch twice to switch the pump off and then on again. The elapsed run time
display will reset to ‘000’ and the pump will operate as normal.

Low Flow Sampling

The standard compensated flow range of the Sidekick
series pumps is 750 to 3000 ml/min. To operate at flows
in the range 5 to 500 ml/min an optional low flow adapter
/ tube holder and a constant pressure controller (CPC) are
required.

Low flow adapters are available for simultaneous sampling
using one, two, three or four sample tubes (refer to the
sampling accessories guide on pages 22 and 23 for details).
The low flow adapters incorporate throttle valve(s) to set the
low flow rate.

The CPC is a device that when connected to the pump inlet
hosetail provides a constant suction at the outlet of the low
flow adaptor, ensuring stable airflow through the sample
tube(s) once the flow has been set using the throttle valve(s).

To Set Up For Low Flow Sampling -

First ensure that the CPC and low flow adapter are not
connected to the pump inlet hosetail at this point.

Connect the pump inlet hosetail to a suitable flow calibrator
(such as a rotameter or Defender primary calibrator). Turn
on the pump and set the pump flow rate to approximately

1.5 l/min.

Turn off the pump and disconnect the flow calibrator. No
further adjustment of the pump flow rate is required.

Page 14 224-SMTXM Issue F www.skcltd.com

Low Flow Sampling

Connect the CPC to the pump inlet hosetail - the short
length of tubing supplied connected to the CPC is
connected to the pump hosetail. Ensure that the CPC is
connected correctly, the side of the CPC with the label
should be pointing away from the pump.

The low flow adapter can now be connected to the CPC
inlet hosetail. Set the low flow rate with the throttle valve on
the low flow adjuster, using a suitable flow calibrator (such
as a Defender primary calibrator).

Note: If carrying out high flow sampling subsequent to low
flow sampling with the same pump, ensure that the CPC
is disconnected.

• Battery pack has reduced capacity as it nears end of life. Replace the
battery pack.

• Filter media back pressure too high. Try a lower flow rate and/or a less
restrictive filter media if the sampling method being used allows this.

Care of the Battery Pack

Battery Charging

• Charge battery pack fully before first use to ensure optimum performance.

• Full battery capacity will be acheived after 2 to 3 full charge / discharge cycles.

• Use only SKC approved charger designated for this battery pack. Use of a non-SKC approved charger

may impair battery performance or even cause irrepairable damage, and will invalidate the battery pack
warranty.

Battery Performance

• Charging temperature - For optimum performance charge NiMH batteries between 0 and +40°C.

• Do not overcharge - For optimum performance disconnect battery pack from charger after 24 hours.

• Discharge temperature - For optimum performance discharge NiMH batteries between -10 and +45°C

(refer also to pump specifications on page 3 for other limitations on operating temperature for intrinsically
safe applications).

Battery Maintenance

• Battery cycling during regular use - To maintain optimum capacity during regular battery use, cycle battery
once a month. Run pump until low battery shutdown occurs, then fully charge battery.

• Long term storage and highly infrequent use -

1. Charge battery fully prior to long term storage.

2. Store in a cool, dry place at temperature between 0 and 30°C.

3. Recharge battery at least once a year (or more frequently if stored at temperature above 30°C).

4. Cycle battery 2 to 3 times after long term storage to restore optimum capacity.

Page 18 224-SMTXM Issue F www.skcltd.com

Care of the Battery Pack

Battery Testing

1. Connect SKC approved charger to battery pack. If charger indicator LED illuminates, battery pack charger
input is ok. If charger LED does not illuminate, battery pack input fuse is blown - Replace battery pack.

2. Leave battery pack connected to charger to fully charge.

3. If pump does not function at all after full charge of battery pack, battery pack output fuse has blown, or
battery cells have failed or are at end of life - Replace battery pack.

4. If pump functions after full charge of battery pack but gives significantly reduced run times before low
battery shutdown, battery cells are failing or are at end of life - Replace battery pack.

Battery Replacement

Refer to pump diagram on page 8. To remove the battery pack unscrew and withdraw the two locking screws
(No. 10). Ensure that the screws are fully withdrawn, to a point where they are hanging freely below the case
by approximately 25 mm. The screws are designed to be retained, to prevent loss.

Once the screws are unfastened press both of the release buttons (No. 11) inwards and pull the battery pack
(No. 7) away from the pump unit (No. 12). To fit the replacement battery pack, engage the ends of the pump
unit battery release buttons into the holes in the top of the battery pack and push home, making sure both
release buttons are fully engaged. Refasten the two locking screws.

Battery Disposal

• The EC Battery Directive and equivalent legislation in other countries requires that all batteries and battery
packs are disposed of correctly at the end of their working life. This means that they must be collected and
treated separately from other waste.

• Please ensure that any end-of-life SKC battery packs are collected and recycled or disposed of correctly.
