Specifications

Operating Range	1000 to 5000 ml/min (UL Listed model) (5 to 500 ml/min requires the 224-26 Series adjustable low flow holder) Requires 1/4-inch ID tubing
Weight	34 oz (964 gm)
Dimensions	5.1 x 4.7 x 1.9 in (13 x 11.9 x 4.8 cm)
Compensation Range	1000 to 2500 ml/min at 40 inches water back pressure 3000 ml/min at 35 inches water back pressure 4000 ml/min at 20 inches water back pressure 5000 ml/min at 10 inches water back pressure
Flow Control	Holds constant flow to ± 5% of set-point
Run Time: Battery	NiCad Battery: 8 hrs minimum at 4000 ml/min and 20 inches water back pressure; dependent on media used. See Table 3 NiMH Battery: 12 hrs minimum at 4000 ml/min and 20 inches water back pressure; dependent on media used. See Table 2. Battery Eliminator: Pump provides extended runs.
Run Time: Mains Adapter	9999 minutes (6.8 days). Pump will shut off as run time cannot exceed timer display. See Timer Display Range below.
Tubing	Requires 1/4-inch ID tubing
Timer Display Range	1 to 9999 minutes (6.8 days). Pump will shut off at 9999 minutes. To reset, restart the pump.
Flow Indicator	Built-in rotameter with 250-ml division; scale marked at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 L/min
Power Supply	6.0-V plug-in NiMH battery pack, rechargeable, 3.5-Ah capacity or 6.0-V plug-in NiCad battery pack, rechargeable, 2.0-Ah capacity A battery eliminator is available (see Ordering Information); use voids the UL Listing for intrinsic safety.
Charging Time (varies with battery capacity and level of discharge)	6 to 8.5 hrs with PowerFlex Charger
Intrinsic Safety	UL Listed for Class I, Division 1 and 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Division 1 and 2, Groups E, F, G; and Class III, Temperature Code T3C ATEX-approved model is available. Contact Air-Met Scientific for more information.
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 CE marked
Additional Specifications	Built-in fluid/particulate trap External see-through filter housing Tamper-resistant control cover Tamper-resistant compensation adjustments Built-in accessory mount Stainless steel belt clip External exhaust port All non-plastic parts made of corrosion-resistant materials RFI and EMI-shielded case
