Set Up
Connect the 3 ft. hose from the gas outlet port to a Gas Clip Technologies detector with a calibration cap. Next, connect the 10 ft. sampling hose from the gas inlet port to the diffusion stone. Accessories, such as the Quick Disconnect, Remote Sampling Probe or Telescoping Sampling Probe, can also be attached to the GCT External Pump with various lengths of sampling hose (up to 75 ft.).
Turning On the Device
To activate, press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds. Once the
device is activated, the start-up sequence will display the following
behavior:
- Power LED is green and begins to flash slowly.
- Audible Alarm beeps once.
- Flow LED is green and begins to flash slowly.
For flow, power and charging status, refer to LED Indicators section.
Blocked Flow Test
Before each day’s use, conduct a blocked flow test to ensure the pump is fully
operational. With the power on, block the free end of the sampling hose which
is attached to the gas inlet port. The device will display the following
behavior:
- Pump motor shuts down.
- Audible alarm beeps continuously indicating a flow fault.
- Flow LED turns red and flashes quickly.
Upon successful completion of the blocked flow test, press the power button to reactivate the device.
Bump Test
Before each day’s use, complete a bump test of the detector connected to the
GCT External Pump. Refer to the GCT External Pump User’s Manual for
instructions.
Low Battery Warning
- A fast, red intermittent flash of the power LED with the audible alarm beep every 10 seconds indicates that (on average) 20 minutes of operation remains. However, the time remaining can vary due to several different factors.
- In the event of a low battery warning, exit the work area immediately since the GCT External Pump could turn off at any time.
Turning Off the Device
Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds until the 3 LEDs (power
LED, flow LED, charging LED) turn off, then release the button.
