Description

The QuickTake® 15 is a portable, baery-powered air sampling pump designed

specically to provide constant airow 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 cassees such as VersaTrap, wall cavity samplers, the BioStage 200

impactor, and lter cassees including microvacuum cassees. 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

intermient sampling. A rechargeable lithium-ion baery pack provides run

times up to four hours.

QuickTake 15 Performance Prole

Flow range: 5 to 15 L/min

Flow compensation

accuracy: ± 5% of set ow

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 baery run

time, but it is not a baery eliminator. Therefore, it will

not provide indenite 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 indenitely 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

Compare the information in this table to pump compensation range to determine appropriate applications.

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, specic

shipping requirements must be followed. Contact SKC for more information or refer to

the regulatory authority in your area.

Operation

Button Sequence

Buons must be pressed in the sequence

shown.

or  = Press individually

[] = Press both simultaneously

 = Security code, press in sequence

Operating the Pump

• To activate LED:

Press and hold  for 2 seconds.

• To check battery status:

With the LED on, press .

Battery Status Indicators

Full charge; approximately 75% to 100% baery capacity

remaining.

Baery is charged enough to operate the pump;

approximately 25% to 75% baery capacity remaining.

Baery charge is low (charge baery); approximately

1% to 25% baery capacity remaining.

Low Baery 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 baery. 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 indenite run times.
