Technical Note: SKC Sample Pump Battery Pack Characteristics and Maintenance (PDF)

The SKC QuickTake®15 constant flow diaphragm pump maintains a set flow rate throughout the sampling period, compensating for the inherent back pressure created by sampling media and for increases in back pressure as sample collects on the media. Unlike similar pumps, the QuickTake 15:

Maintains true constant flow
Can be calibrated with any primary standard calibrator for valid calibration
Does not require a special rotameter or hot-wire anemometer for calibration
Can be used with remote sampling wand or media that creates back pressure such as microvacuum cassettes and wall cavity samplers

QuickTake 15 Performance Profile

Flow range 5 to 15 L/min

Flow compensation accuracy ± 5% of set flow

Compensating flow back pressure range 15 L/min at 8 inches water back pressure

10 L/min at 15 inches water back pressure

5 L/min at 20 inches water back pressure

*Typical Back Pressure of Sampling Media (inches water)*
Flow Rate	5.0	8.0	10.0	12.0	15.0
Filter/Pore Size (µm)
37-mm MCE/0.8	11	18	22	28	36

Power

Rechargeable 7.2-volt lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery, or battery with standard AC charger/adapter (115 V), or battery with deluxe AC charger/adapter (100-240 V)

Battery recharge time Approximately 5 hours

Typical run time

VersaTrap cassette: 4 hours at 15 L/min

Results when tested with a new pump and new fully charged battery; pump performance may vary.

Note: The AC charger/adapter can be used to extend battery run time, but it is not a battery eliminator. Therefore, it will not provide indefinite run times.

Run time features User-selectable features, user-adjustable presets. See Operating Instructions.

Preset timed runs: 1, 2, 5, 10, or 15 min

Manually set continuous run with manual shut-off: 1 to 999 min (repeats 1 to 999-min runs indefinitely until user stops pump or power supply is depleted)

Intermittent sampling: User-set sample periods and sample delays. See Operating Instructions.

Flow fault features If the pump is unable to compensate due to excessive back pressure, the pump will go into flow fault mode. Flow fault features are enabled as the default setting. Flow fault may be disabled at the user's option.

Flow fault: Flow fault displays immediately. Pump shuts off after 5 seconds

Fault restart: Pump attempts restart every 10 seconds up to five times

Media compatibility VersaTrap and other bioaerosol cassettes, wall cavity samplers, BioStage 200 impactor, and other filter cassettes including microvacuum cassettes

Housing ABS plastic

Dimensions 10.3 x 4.6 x 2.4 in (26.2 x 11.7 x 6.1 cm)

Weight 32 oz (0.9 kg)

Approvals CE marked (models with 223-245 charger only)

Use in non-hazardous locations only. Not UL Listed for intrinsic Safety.
Protect sample pump from weather when in use outdoors.

Ideal for Spore Traps (VersaTrap Cassettes)

The SKC QuickTake 15 Sample Pump is especially easy to use with spore traps (VersaTrap cassettes)

Spore traps (VersaTrap cassette) fit directly and easily onto pump inlet
Provides optimum flow rate
Can be used with spore traps (VersaTrap cassette) attached to sampling wand accessory
Mount with spore traps (VersaTrap cassette) on tripod accessory to monitor breathing zone level
Use with spore traps (VersaTrap cassette) and wall adapter for mold screening in wall cavities

Li-Ion Battery Shipment
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for use with SKC sampling pumps have been tested in accordance with the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria and are designated as UN3091.

For air shipments:
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in SKC pumps are subject to the A-45 exemption to the IATA regulations and are not regulated for air shipments. This information must be written on the shipping document when shipping by air.

For ground shipments:
US DOT regulations specify a limit of 24 or fewer battery cells in one shipping box. If you exceed 12 QuickTake 15 pumps with battery packs in one shipping box, specific shipping requirements must be followed. Contact SKC for more information or refer to the regulatory authority in your area.
