Set/Calibrate Flow Rate for Multiple Tubes
• Allow pump to equilibrate after moving it from one temperature extreme to another.
• Charge pump battery completely before calibration and sampling.
• Calibrate/verify pump flow rate before and after each sampling operation using the tube holder and pump to be used for sampling.
Follow these important steps before proceeding:
1. Ensure that the baery is fully charged and that the pump has run for five minutes before calibrating. Leave pump running.
2. Ensure that the regulator has been activated for low flow and the pump flow rate is set at 1.5 L/min.
3. Calculate the sum of all tube flow rates. The maximum flow rate through any one tube is 500 ml/min.*
a. If the sum is ≤1000 ml/min, set the pump flow rate to 1.5 L/min.
b. If the sum is > 1000 ml/min, multiply that number by 0.15 and total the two numbers. Set the pump flow rate for the resulting
new sum. (Example: Sampling with three sorbent tubes, each with a flow rate of 500 ml/min.* The sum of the tube flow rates is
calculated as 3 x 500 = 1500. Determining a 15% higher flow rate is calculated as 1500 x 0.15 = 225. Calculating the final pump
flow seing would be 1500 + 225 = 1725 ml/min.)
* Back pressure across some sample tubes can be higher than average. In these instances, the maximum flow rate of 500 ml/min may not be achieved.
4. Connect the tube holder (Figure 4) to the pump inlet (Figure 1) using the aached 1/4-inch
Tygon tubing. See right.
5. Insert an opened sorbent tube into each rubber sleeve of the tube holder (Figure 4). Ensure
that the arrow on each tube points toward the tube holder.
If sampling with fewer tubes than number of ports, insert unopened sorbent tubes in the
empty ports to seal them.
For low flow, turn regulator
valve screw counterclockwise.

flow adjust screw (Figure 4) on the port of the appropriate tube holder (counterclockwise to increase, clockwise to decrease) until
the desired flow rate is achieved. Note:
For tri and quad models, first rotate each anti-tamper cover (Figures 4 and 5) to expose the flow adjust
screws, then adjust the appropriate one until the calibrator indicates the desired flow.
Do not adjust the flow on the pump. Adjust the flow only by using the flow adjust screw on the
tube holder.
Do not exceed 500 ml/min flow rate per tube.
8. Place the pump in Hold by pressing Flow and Baery Check. Disconnect the calibrator from the tube
and connect it to the next sorbent tube. Press Flow and Baery Check and repeat the flow adjustment
process until all tubes are flow-calibrated. Changing the flow on one tube will not affect the flow rate
through the remaining tubes.
9. When the flow rate is set for each tube, press Flow and Baery Check to place the pump in Hold and disconnect the calibrator.

Multiple-tube Sampling Built-in constant pressure regulator allows user to take up to four simultaneous tube samples at
different flow rates up to 500 ml/min each using optional adjustable tube holder.
RFI/EMI Shielding Complies with requirements of EN 55022, FCC Part 15 Class B, EN 50082-1; frequency range of the
radiated susceptibility test was 27 to 1000 MHz
Tubing Requires 1/4-inch ID tubing
Flow Fault If the pump is unable to compensate for longer than 15 seconds due to excessive back pressure,
the pump enters flow fault. During flow fault, the pump stops, displays FLOW FAULT, pauses timing
functions, and displays elapsed time. Auto-restart is attempted up to five times.
Low Battery Fault Pump stops, displays LO BATT, pauses timing functions, and displays elapsed time.
Battery Test LCD shows battery condition prior to sampling.
Time Display LCD displays up to 9999 minutes (6.8 days) at which point the display rolls over to 0.
Timing Accuracy ± 0.05% (± 45 seconds per day)
Sampling Pause (Hold) Allows user to temporarily halt sampling without loss of timing data. Restart does not require
resetting time.
