Operating Temperature |
32° to 113°F (0° to 45°C)
|
Storage Temperature | -4° to 113°F (-20° to 45°C) |
Charging Temperature | 50° to 113°F (10° to 45°C) |
Operating Humidity | 0 to 95% non-condensing |
Flow Fault | If the pump is unable to compensate for longer than 15 seconds due to excessive back pressure, the pump enters flow fault. During flow fault, the pump stops, displays FLOW FAULT, pauses timing functions, and displays elapsed time. Auto-restart is attempted up to 5 times. |
Low Battery Fault | Pump stops, displays LO BATT, pauses timing functions, and displays elapsed time. |
Battery Test | LCD indicator verifies battery condition prior to sampling. |
Time Display | LCD displays up to 9999 minutes (6.8 days) at which point the display rolls over to 0. |
Timing Accuracy | ± 0.05% (± 45 sec/day) |
Sampling Pause (Hold) | Allows user to temporarily halt air sampling without loss of timing data. Restart does not require resetting time. |
Multiple-tube Sampling | Built-in constant pressure regulator allows user to take up to four simultaneous samples with rates up to 500 ml/min each (total combined flow 1350 ml/min maximum) using the optional adjustable low flow holder accessory |
RFI/EMI Shielding |
Complies with requirements of EN 55022, FCC Part 15 Class B, EN 50082-1
Frequency range of the radiated susceptibility test was 27 to 1000 MHz
