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:

  1. Power LED is green and begins to flash slowly.
  2. Audible Alarm beeps once.
  3. 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:

  1. Pump motor shuts down.
  2. Audible alarm beeps continuously indicating a flow fault.
  3. 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.
