Product Usage Instructions

Power Pump On and Off

• Pump should be fully charged before use.
• Power Pump On: Press and hold the POWER/ENTER key until the pump displays the Start up Screen.
• Power Pump Off: When pump is not running or in a program pause, press and hold POWER/ENTER key. Continue to hold POWER/ENTER until Power down window appears and countdown completes.

Set Flow Rate

1. From the Main Menu, select Flow Set using the NAV keys.
2. Press the INC/DEC keys to set desired flow rate, then press the POWER/ENTER key to enter the desired flow rate.
3. Note: Flow range select must be in Lo if the flow is less than 445 cc/min and in Hi for rates from 450 to 5100 cc/min. The flow range select is on the right side of the case and can be switched between Lo and Hi with a 2mm (5/64) hex wrench supplied with the pump. Indication of Lo or Hi selection displays in the middle of the lower display status line.

Flow Calibration

1. Connect the pump to an air flow calibrator per the calibrator manufacturers’ recommendations. A representative sample media must be connected at the inlet to the pump to establish proper load conditions. A calibration panel may be substituted for the sample media, set for a pressure drop of 4 inches of water.
2. While the pump displays the Main Menu use the NAV keys to select Calibrate, then Press the POWER/ENTER key.
3. The display shows the set flow rate and the pump begins to run in the calibration mode.
4. Use the INC/DEC keys to adjust the flow rate displayed on the pump until matching the flow rate measured by the calibration device.
5. Press the POWER/ENTER key to set calibration.
6. Press the ESC key to return to Main Menu.

Field Calibration Note:
Display calibration procedures above make internal pump adjustments and improve the accuracy of the flow display. This does not replace field calibration as described by OSHA and NIOSH. Conduct flow verification using a Primary Calibrator prior to each field sample. Field calibration procedures are referenced in the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods at www.cdc.gov/niosh and the OSHA Technical Manual at www.osha.gov.

User Programming

The GilAir Plus has the capacity to create, store, and execute up to 16 user sampling program sequences. Each program can specify the control mode, set point flow or pressure, and a sequence of timed steps including time of day to operate, on and off periods, and a multi-cycle capability. Select programs from the Run Mode menu item after creation in the Run Setup/Program menu item. The operator manual contains full documentation.

Maintenance

• Battery: GilAir Plus employs a rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery. Fully charging and properly maintaining the battery ensures maximum run times. The battery pack has a charge time of less than 4 hours.
• Pump Filter: Replace the internal pump filter when dirty or damaged. See the user manual for instructions.
