SECTION ONE
INTRODUCTION
Table 1.1
Available Aircon-2 Models
1.1 DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT
You must read this manual in its entirety to ensure proper
operation of your unit.
The AirCon-2 Air Sampling System is a powerful envi-
ronmental air sampler used to collect air samples in-
doors and outdoors. It is equipped with useful perfor-
mance features industrial hygienists need most; easy
set-up, compact size, battery pack operation, program-
mable timing functions and DC portability.
Table 1.1 (below) lists the available AirCon-2 models.
The AirCon-2 high volume air sampling system consists
of a positive displacement pump with a unique pat-
ented regulator system which maintains flow constant
over a flow range of 2-30 LPM. The sampler maintains
air flow constant for sampling of airborne particulate,
hazardous dust and low concentration pollutants using
many popular filter cassettes. The volume of air that
passes through the filter cassette is determined by the
following:
Air flow xElapsed time = Volume
The unit is set up in the required location and
plugged into a properly grounded voltage source.
DC version units are connected to either a 2-hour or
4-hour battery pack and/or to a power module which
is designed to power DC version units from a stan-
dard AC source.
The AirCon-2 system provides a telescopic sampling
mast which is extended and to which the air hose/
support tip is connected. The media, typically a filter
cassette, is inserted into the end of the sampling
hose. The other end of the air hose is connected to
the “Air Inlet” located at the front of the sampler.
After positioning the unit and setting up the sampling
mast stand, the unit can be turned on. Air flow is set
by use of the external flow adjust knob and is indi-
cated on the built-in rotameter.
Programmable models offer a touch keypad and LCD
display which allow the user to program sampling
routines. Programmable timing functions include:
start and stop times, intermittent run, delay, run/hold
and memory storage of up to three custom timing
programs. The full-function display and touch pad
offer key-in programming and visual monitoring of
all timing functions during programming and sampler
operation.

1.2 POWER SOURCES
1.2.1 AC Power
AC power is provided by means of a removable line
cord which plugs into a 3-prong power jack located on
the back of the unit. A 2-prong Euro plug is provided
for 230 VAC operation.
1.2.2 Voltage
The AirCon-2 operating voltage is preset at the factory
for either 115 or 230 volts. This is indicated on the label
located at the rear of the unit. If you need to change
the voltage, do the following:
WARNING
Make certain you unplug the unit before proceeding.
1. Remove the screws holding the cover
2. Facing the left side of the unit as viewed from the
front, locate the voltage select switch which is ap-
proximately 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of
the PC board.
3. To change the voltage, insert a small flat blade
screwdriver into the slot and rotate to the appropri-
ate voltage.
4. Remove the existing fuse and replace with the ap-
propriate fuse for that voltage.
5. Replace the cover and provide the proper line cord
adapter for the voltage receptacle.
IMPORTANT
You should place a label or sticker on the unit to show that the
voltage has been changed.
NOTE
Changing factory-set 115 VAC units to 230 VAC
negates CE certification.
1.3.3 DC Power
DC Power is provided by two-hour and four-hour bat-
tery packs. The battery packs can be stacked and inter-
connected to achieve the ampere hour rating required
to meet the most stringent sampling conditions. Battery
packs are recharged with the optional Power Module.
1.2.4 Power Module
The DC version of the AirCon-2 can be run directly off
the power module. If the battery module is also at-
tached, it will slowly charge the battery while still pro-
viding sufficient power to run the sampler. It will rap-
idly charge the battery if the sampler is turned off un-
der the same circumstances. The power module may
also be used as a stand-alone battery charger and may
charge one or more batteries. The unit will automati-
cally reduce the charging currents as the battery be-
comes fully charged. An LED indicator illuminates
when charging and flashes when charging is complete.
If no battery is attached it will flash indicating sufficient
voltage to run the sampler. The power module can op-
erate on 115–230 VAC, 47–63 Hz.

SECTION TWO
SET-UP
2.1 GENERAL SET-UP
Place the unit in the desired sampling area. Make cer-
tain the unit is standing in a vertical position.
NOTE
When using rotameters, it is important to maintain a vertical
position for optimum accuracy. The rotameter provided in this
sampler has been tested for accuracy and is within ± 5% of full
scale.
2.1.1 Sampling Mast
To set up the Sampling Mast, perform the following
steps:
1) First, unfold the legs at the bottom of the mast
stand by opening the locking knob and pulling the
legs outwards as far as they will extend.
2) Loosen the largest locking collar at the bottom of
the stand and pull out by the second largest lock-
ing collar. Tighten the largest collar.
3) Holding the extended section, loosen the second
largest locking collar and extend the next section
of the mast. Tighten the second largest collar.
4) Repeat this procedure until the mast is extended to
its full or required height.
5) Be sure to tighten each locking collar before pro-
ceeding to loosen the next. Position the extended
mast next to sampler.
2.1.2 Air Hose
To attach the Air Hose, perform the following steps:
1) Connect one end of the flexible tubing to the air in-
let valve located at the front of the sampler.
2) Connect the hose support tip to the top of the ex-
tended sampling mast.
3) Insert tubing through the hose support tip, with 2–
3" of the hosing extending out.
4) Insert filter cassette or other media into air hose
end.
2.1.3 Filter Cassettes
To install the Filter Cassette, do the following:
1) First, remove any cap plugs from the filter cassette.
These may be colored in red and blue. Also re-
move the end of the filter cassette to expose the fil-
ter. This is called “open-face” filter sampling. This
allows air to enter the cassette freely with minimal
back pressure.
2) Plug the filter cassette into the end of the sampling
hose.

2.2.1 Using The DC Unit
Connecting the DC Unit
1) Place the battery pack or power module on a flat
surface, orienting the guide pins either to the left or
right.
2) Tilt the sampler approximately 10°, as shown in
Figure 2.1, and engage the female guide-pin recep-
tacle into the guide pins of the battery pack or
power module. Rotate the unit around the guide
pins such that the back lip of the battery pack or
power module slides over the recess on the back
bottom of the sampler.
NOTE
Once the guide pins are aligned and seated, the electrical
connector on the sampler and battery pack (or power module)
will connect automatically.
3) Pull the latch on the rear of the battery pack (or
power module) over the latch keeper on the back
of the sampler, pushing down on the latch to se-
cure it.
4) Repeat this procedure for any additional battery
packs and/or power modules.
Disconnecting the DC Unit
1) Disengage the latch hook.
2) Rotate the sampler about guide pin until the back
of the sampler disengages the battery pack or
power module.
3) Disengage the female receptacle and guide pins of
the sampler from the battery pack or power mod-
ule respectively.
2.2.2 Charging With The Power Module
The power module may be plugged into any line volt-
age from 115 to 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz without any switch
adjustments.
To charge the battery pack independently:
1) Connect the battery pack to the power module (re-
fer to Figure 2.2). Multiple battery packs may be
connected to the power module (refer to Figure
2.3).
2) Attach the line cord to the receptacle located at the
back of the power module.
3) Plug the line cord into the AC receptacle.
4) An LED, located on the back of the power module
will light, indicating whether there is sufficient DC
voltage available to the sampler. If a battery pack is
attached and is not fully charged, the LED will re-
main illuminated until the battery is charged. When
fully charged, the LED will start to pulse. If no bat-
tery is attached, the unit will pulse.
