Introduction
Description
The QuickTake® 30 Sample Pump (Figure 1) is a portable battery-powered air
sample pump that maintains constant airflow from 10 to 30 L/min for use with
the BioStage® viable cascade impactor, spore trap cassettes such as
VersaTrap®, asbestos cassettes, microvacuum cassettes, or other samplers
requiring flows up to 30 L/min. A diaphragm pump operating with a closed loop
flow control system, the QuickTake 30 maintains true constant flow. The
QuickTake 30 features a programmable timer that provides up to eight
programmable run time presets of 1 to 999 minutes, continuous run with manual
shut-off, or intermittent sampling. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack
provides effective run times. See Appendix: Performance Profile – Typical
Cumulative Run Time.

Getting Started
Charge the Battery
1. For a complete charge, ensure the pump is not running. Insert the charger
plug into the charging jack on the pump.
2. Insert the charger into a wall outlet. A red LED will flash on the pump
display to indicate the unit is charging. When charging is complete, the LED
will stop flashing and the pump will go to sleep. The battery charges
completely in 5 hours. Note: The QuickTake 30 can be operated using AC power.
See Operate from AC Power.
Determining Battery Charge
Charging train
Battery Status Indicators
Full charge; approximately 75 to 100% battery capacity remaining
Battery is charged enough to operate the pump; approximately 25 to 75% battery capacity remaining.
Battery charge is low (charge battery); approximately 1 to 25% battery capacity remaining.
Low Battery Fault. Pump will stop running, beep, and go to sleep in 10 seconds.
Notes and Cautions · After charging the battery pack, it is good practice to
run the pump for approximately 5 minutes before calibrating. This ensures the
battery is in a more steady-state condition and improves the agreement in pre
and post-sampling calibrations. · The pump will not sleep during charging.
Connecting a sleeping pump to the charger will wake it up from sleep. · The AC
charger/adapter can be used to extend battery run time, but it is not a
battery eliminator. Therefore, it will not provide indefinite run times. · Do
not operate or charge the pump in hazardous locations. · Use only the SKC-
approved charger for this pump. Use of an unapproved charger may damage the
battery and the pump and voids any warranty. · The battery pack may be kept on
the SKC-approved charger for an indefinite time. · Ensure proper orientation
of the charging cable before plugging it into the charging jack. Improper
orientation/contact will short circuit the battery and voids any warranty. ·
Short-circuiting the battery pack will render it immediately inoperative. ·
Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.

always follow basic safety precautions when using this product. · Do not
submerge the pump or subject it to any liquids. · Protect the sample pump from
weather when in use outdoors. · Tampering with the battery pack or using a
repaired or rebuilt battery pack voids any warranty and UL Listing for
intrinsic safety. · Do not open, disassemble, short circuit, crush,

Notes and Cautions
· The charge light on the LED will flash if the battery is charging during AC
operation. · The AC charger/adapter can be used to extend battery run time,
but it is not a battery eliminator. Therefore, it will not provide indefinite
run times. · Do not operate or charge the pump in hazardous locations. · Use
only the SKC-approved battery and charger for this pump. Use of an unapproved
battery and/or charger may damage the battery and the
pump and voids any warranty. · To reduce risk of injury, fire, or electric
shock, always follow basic safety precautions when using this product. · Do
not submerge the pump or subject it to any liquids. · Protect the sample pump

of dust and dirt. It may be wiped with a dry cloth. · Keep the battery charged
(see Charge the Battery). Charge periodically when pump is not used for
prolonged periods.
Change the Battery 1
1. With the back of the pump facing you (serial number at bottom left), use a
small flat-head screwdriver (tweaker) to pry up and remove two strip panels
from the left and right ends of the back of the case. Remove the pressure-fit
panels to reveal four safety screws.
2. Use a Phillips head or flat-head screwdriver to loosen the four safety
screws. 3
3. Lift off the back of the pump case. 4. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to
loosen the two screws (with washers) from the battery bracket.
Use forceps to remove the screws and washers from the case; set the screws
aside. Do not lose washers.

9. Install the battery.
a. If installing a new battery (Cat. No. P75689), remove the protective strip from double-sided mounting tape on the bottom of the new battery to expose adhesive.
b. If reinstalling the existing battery, remove as much of the previous adhesive as possible from the bottom of the battery. Remove the protective strip from one side of a new two-inch piece of double-sided mounting tape (available from SKC as Cat. No. 51872) and apply to the bottom of the battery. Remove the protective strip from the tape’s remaining side to expose adhesive.
Ensure the battery harness wires on battery pack are facing away from the case handle before inserting battery in case.
10. Align the battery in case (as shown above) before allowing the bottom of the battery to come into contact with and adhere to the pump base plate. Press down gently to ensure the battery pack adheres to the base plate.
11. From the case handle side of the pump, slide the battery bracket into place until two openings in the bracket are aligned with the two screw holes in the pump base plate.
12. Use needlenose pliers to align the two screws with washers with the screw holes. Tighten screws using a small flat-head screwdriver.
13. Replace the back of the pump case (serial number label should be in the lower left corner) and tighten the four safety screws.
14. Replace the two strip panels and press them down until they are completely installed.

- Pump contains Li-Ion battery and may be subject to special shipping regulations. Any warranty is void if pumps are not repaired by SKC or authorized SKC repair centers. Use only SKC-approved parts to ensure reliable performance. Failure to do so voids any warranty.
Use of a repaired or rebuilt battery pack voids any warranty.
Li-Ion Battery Testing and Shipment Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for use
with SKC sample pumps have been tested in accordance with the UN Manual and
are proven to meet requirements of each test in the UN Manual of Tests and
Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3. The batteries are rated below 100 watt-
hours (Wh).
Consult with your carrier for more information on Lithium Battery Shipping
Regulations UN 3480 and UN 3481 or visit SKC’s website for more information at

Compare the information in this table to pump compensation range to determine appropriate applications.
If the pump is unable to compensate due to excessive back pressure, the pump will go into flow fault mode (see Flow Fault). Flow fault features are enabled as the default setting. Flow fault may be disabled at the user’s option. See Advanced Operation.
Flow fault:
Flow fault displays immediately Pump shuts off after 5 sec
Fault restart: Pump attempts restart every 10 sec up to five times
Requires 3/8-in ID tubing
User-selectable features, user-adjustable presets. See Advanced Operation.
Preset timed runs:
1, 2, 5, 10, or 15 min
Manually set continuous run with manual shut-off:
1 to 999 min (repeats 1 to 999-min runs indefinitely until user stops pump or power supply is depleted)
Intermittent sampling:
See Advanced Operation.

· BioStage viable cascade impactor: 4 hrs at 28.3 L/min (battery only) ·
25-mm, 1.2-m MCE filter: 9+ hrs at 10 L/min
To achieve, use QuickTake 30 with a fully charged battery and AC
charger/adapter. · 37-mm, 0.8-m MCE filter: > 14 hrs at 10 L/min (battery
only)
- Sampling times when using spore traps are usually 10 min. SKC recommends reducing length of sample time when using a 30 L/min flow rate to prevent overloading the media.
Results obtained using a new pump and new fully charged batteries. Pump and battery performance may vary.
The AC charger/adapter can be used to extend battery run time, but it is not a battery eliminator. Therefore, it will not provide indefinite run times.
