Description
The QuickTake® 15 is a portable, baery-powered air sampling pump designed
specically to provide constant airow for the short sampling times required for mold
screening. QuickTake 15 allows timed samples to be taken within the ow range of
5 to 15 L/min. A diaphragm pump operating with a closed loop ow control
system, the QuickTake 15 maintains constant ow and is suitable for use with
spore trap cassees such as VersaTrap, wall cavity samplers, the BioStage 200
impactor, and lter cassees including microvacuum cassees. The QuickTake
15 features a programmable timer that provides up to eight programmable
run time presets of 1 to 999 minutes, continuous run with manual shut-o, or
intermient sampling. A rechargeable lithium-ion baery pack provides run
times up to four hours.

Compensating ow
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
Power: Rechargeable 7.2-volt lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery (see Li-Ion Battery
Shipment on page 4), 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.
The AC charger/adapter can be used to extend baery run
time, but it is not a baery eliminator. Therefore, it will
not provide indenite run times.
Temperature: Operating: 32 - 113 F (0 - 45 C)
Storage: -4 - 113 F (-20 - 45 C)
Charging: 32 - 113 F (0 - 45 C)
Protect sample pump from weather when in use outdoors.
Run time features: User-selectable features, user-adjustable presets (see Advanced
Setup)
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 indenitely until user stops
pump or power supply is depleted)
Intermittent sampling: See Advanced Setup
Flow fault features: If the pump is unable to compensate due to excessive back pressure,
the pump will go into ow fault mode (see page 12 for details). Flow
fault features are enabled as the default setting. Flow fault may be
disabled at the user’s option. See Advanced Setup.
Flow fault: Flow fault displays immediately.
Pump shuts off after 5 seconds
Fault restart: Pump attempts restart every
10 seconds up to ve times

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, specic
shipping requirements must be followed. Contact SKC for more information or refer to
the regulatory authority in your area.

With the LED on, press .
Battery Status Indicators
Full charge; approximately 75% to 100% baery capacity
remaining.
Baery is charged enough to operate the pump;
approximately 25% to 75% baery capacity remaining.
Baery charge is low (charge baery); approximately
1% to 25% baery capacity remaining.
Low Baery Fault. Pump will stop running, beep, and
go to sleep in 10 seconds.
• To operate from AC power:
The QuickTake 15 may be run using AC power with the AC charger/
adapter with baery. Insert the charger plug into the jack on the pump
and the charger into a standard wall outlet. Operate the pump.
The charge light on the LED will ash if the battery is charging during AC
operation.
The AC charger/adapter can be used to extend battery run time, but it is not a
battery eliminator. Therefore, it will not provide indenite run times.
