Personal Sampling from 5 to 3000 ml/min
The AirLite® sample pump is economically designed for personal
sampling of asbestos, lead, and other airborne contaminants in environments
where intrinsic safety is not required. Powered by economical, disposable
AA alkaline batteries, the AirLite provides run times greater than
8 hours in the 1000 to 3000 ml/min flow range with
full back pressure
compensation. A patented (U.S. Patent No. 6,741,056) flow
control system, automatic features, and internal ambient temperature
sensor ensure
accurate air volumes and sample integrity. The bright LED indicates
pump and battery
status. AirLite is small and lightweight for easy attachment to a
worker's belt where it won't interfere with worker activity.

Power |
Three standard AA alkaline batteries
Rechargeable
AA size 1.2-volt NiMH batteries may be used, but will provide
approximately half the run time stated for
disposable batteries.
|
LED Functions |
Slow
flash = normal run
Fast flash = flow fault
Double flash = low battery, approximately
one-hour run time remaining
Flash every eight seconds = pump shutdown
due to exhausted batteries
Indication of pump shutdown
due to exhausted
batteries
will override all
other indicators.
Four flashes every six seconds = pump shutdown
due to flow fault

About Low Flow Sampling
 |
The AirLite Sample Pump becomes a fully versatile sampler when combined
with the low flow adapter kit.
The kit's constant pressure controller (CPC) accessory expands the
AirLite flow range capability to include the 5 to 500 ml/min range. |
The Advantage
Economical Battery Operation
The
AirLite Sample Pump operates on three disposable AA alkaline batteries
that can be purchased at your local grocery store. Run times depend
on battery brand used. Available for immediate use — no need
to maintain batteries or charge before sampling.

Caution: |
To prevent corrosion of battery terminals, remove batteries
when AirLite will not be used for an extended time. |
Note: |
Increases in back pressure in sampling condition due to buildup
on filter can decrease battery life. |
Note: |
For maximum run time, insert new batteries in pump before sampling. |
Note: |
If using rechargeable AA 1.2-volt NiMH batteries, run time
will be approximately half that stated for disposable batteries. |
