2) Care of the AirChek 3000 Pump
• Always use the correct SKC battery pack and battery chargers designated for the AirChek 3000 pump.
• The battery pack charging socket is of the mini-USB type, however it is not a USB interface port and must not be
connected to a computer USB port. Damage to the battery pack and/or the computer may result.
• Never run the pump long term without a tube or filter medium in place.
• When carrying out sampling using long term colour change tubes always use a tandem tube holder with trap tube
(Part No. 222-3D-2 and cover 224-29T). This will prevent the aggressive fumes generated by these tubes from
entering and damaging the pump mechanism.
• When carrying out sampling using impingers always fit a trap between the impinger and pump inlet. This will
prevent the possibility of the fluid used in the impinger from entering and damaging the pump mechanism. As a
further precaution always ensure that the pump flow rate is set to below 1 litre/min before connecting the trap
and impinger to the pump inlet.
• The AirChek 3000 pump case is IP64 rated, and therefore must not be used where it may be subjected to water
jets or complete immersion in water. The pump can be used where it may be subjected to rain or splashing water,
but care must be taken to ensure that water cannot enter the pump air inlet port.
• The AirChek 3000 pump is fitted with a particulate filter which is easy to replace. Simply unscrew the inlet filter cover (use a
13mm A/F spanner to loosen the cover if required), remove the O ring and lift out the filter. Fit the new filter, taking care not
to crease it when inserting, fit the O ring and screw on the inlet filter cover hand tight only. For general maintenance replace
the filter every 2 - 3 months or if it appears dirty. New filters are white in colour (order Part No. P40011).
Warning - Failure to follow these guidelines will void the product warranty.
