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.

  • 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 www.skcinc.com/knowledgecenter.

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.

Viable cascade impactors, spore trap cassettes (e.g., VersaTrap), asbestos cassettes, microvacuum cassettes, and other impaction samplers that require flows from 10 to 30 L/min

32 to 104 F (0 to 40 C)

0 to 95% non-condensing

· Spore Trap* (e.g., VersaTrap): 5 hrs at 15 L/min (battery only)
· 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.
