Getting Started
8) Elapsed Run Time Display
When the pump is started using the on/off switch the elapsed run time display on the LCD screen will reset
to ‘000’ and then increment in one minute steps up to ‘999’. Above ‘999’ the display alternates displaying
the first two digits of the elapsed run time and the last three digits. For example, a pump that has run for
1,440 minutes would first display ‘01’ and then ‘440’. The maximum elapsed run time display is 99,999
minutes, above which the display reverts to ‘000’ and continues to increment.
When the pump is stopped at the end of the sample period using the on/off switch, the elapsed run time is
retained on the LCD screen. When the pump is restarted using the on/off switch the elapsed run time will reset
to ‘000’ and commence recording the elapsed run time again.
9) Low Battery Shut Down Function
In the event of a low battery condition during a sample run the pump will automatically shut down, the elapsed
run time is retained on the LCD screen and the low battery status indicator is displayed. To recover from a
low battery shut down condition fully charge the battery and press the on/off switch twice to switch the pump
off and then on again. The elapsed run time display will reset to ‘000’ and the pump will operate as normal.
10) Flow Fault Function
In the event of a flow fault condition, caused by obstructed tubing or excessive filter loading for example, that
persists for longer than 15 seconds, the pump will automatically shut down. The pump will then automatically
restart to check if the fault has been cleared. The pump will attempt a total of four restarts before shutting down
completely if the flow fault condition persists. The elapsed run time is retained on the LCD screen and the flow
fault status indicator is displayed. To recover from a flow fault condition investigate and correct the cause of
the flow fault. Press the on/off switch twice to switch the pump off and then on again. The elapsed run time
display will reset to ‘000’ and the pump will operate as normal.
