Motorized pump and sampling line guidelines
When sampling with a motorized pump and sampling line, Industrial Scientific recommends the following:

When the target gases are unknown, use Teflon-lined tubing. Otherwise, use either urethane or Teflon-lined tubing.
Note: WARNING–Do not use the Ventis Slide-on Pump when sampling for chlorine (Cl2), chlorine dioxide (ClO2), hydrogen chloride (HCl), or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or when the target gas is unknown and sensors for these gases are installed. The use of the Slide-On Pump with these gases will result in inaccurate gas readings due to their susceptibility to absorption.
Know the length of the sample line as it is a factor in determining sampling time. A sample line may consist of tubing, a probe, or a probe and tubing. It should also have a dust filter-water stop installed at the line’s end that will extend into the sample area. Sample-line length is defined as the distance from the dust filter-water stop opening to the point where the line connects to the pump’s inlet. Ensure sample-line length does not exceed the pump’s maximum draw.
Before and after each air sample, perform a test of the full sampling line.
- Use your thumb to block the end of the sampling line at the water-stop opening. This should cause a pump fault alarm.
- Unblock the water-stop opening. After the alarm cycle completes, the pump should resume normal operation.
  Note: If a pump fault does not occur, check and correct for cracks or other damage, debris, and proper installation in these areas: the sampling line and its connections, the pump’s inlet cap and inlet barrel, and the dust filter- water stop items at the end of the sampling line and inside the pump inlet barrel.
- Based on sample-line length, calculate the minimum time recommended for the air sample to reach the instrument’s sensors. As shown in Table 3, use a base time of 2 minutes, and add 2 seconds for each 30 cm (1 ‘) of line length. Watch the display screen for gas readings and, if present, allow them to stabilize to determine the reading.

Product Overview

The Ventis Slide-on Pump is an in-field attachable and removable pump. This enables the use of a single compatible instrument for both personal monitoring (diffusion) and confined space applications (aspirated).

Installation

The pump’s spring-assisted, hinged door is opened and securely closed by the body-mounted latch; therefore, no tools are needed for instrument installation or removal. The pump also allows for the installation of a clip-equipped instrument.

Power source

The pump is powered by its own battery and it does not draw power from the instrument battery. When using Li-ion battery packs, the pump and instrument batteries should be charged separately.
Sample draw
50 feet. Flow rate (nominal): 0.27 liters per minute (LPM).

Table 4 Compatibilities

Use of the VSP may result in sensor readings that are within ± 5% of their published accuracy specifications; sensor T90 response times may increase by 10 seconds.

Note: Do NOT use the Ventis Slide-on Pump when sampling for chlorine (Cl2), chlorine dioxide (ClO2), hydrogen chloride (HCl), or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or when the target gas is unknown and sensors for these gases are installed. The use of the Slide-On Pump with these gases will result in inaccurate gas readings due to their susceptibility to absorption.
