Description
The QuickTake®30 Sample Pump is a portable baery-powered air sampling
pump that maintains constant airflow from 10 to 30 L/min for use with impactors,
spore trap cassees such as VersaTrap®, asbestos cassees, microvacuum cassees,
or other samplers requiring flows up to 30 L/min. A diaphragm pump operating
with a closed loop flow control system, the QuickTake 30 maintains true constant
flow. The QuickTake 30 features a programmable timer that provides up to eight
programmable run time presets of 1 to 999 minutes, continuous run with manual
shut-off, or intermient sampling. A rechargeable lithium-ion baery pack provides
effective run times (see Performance Profile - Typical Cumulative Run Time on page 4).

and level of discharge)
Typical Cumulative
Spore Trap* (e.g., VersaTrap):5 hrs at 15 L/min (battery only)
Run Time:†
BioStage viable cascade impactor: 4 hrs at 28.3 L/min (battery only)
25-mm, 1.2-μm MCE filter: 9+ hrs at 10 L/min
To achieve, use QuickTake 30 with a fully
charged battery and AC charger/adapter.
37-mm, 0.8-μm MCE filter: > 14 hrs at 10 L/min (battery only)
* Sampling times when using spore traps are usually ≤10 min. SKC
recommends reducing length of sample time when using a 30 L/min
flow rate to prevent overloading the media.
† Results obtained using a new pump and new fully charged baeries. Pump and
baery 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 indefinite run times.

Battery Operation
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.
Charging the Battery
For a complete charge, ensure the
pump is not running during charging.
Insert the charger plug into the jack on
the pump and the charger into a wall
outlet. A red LED will flash on the
pump display to indicate the unit is
charging. When charging is complete,
the LED will stop flashing and the
pump will go to sleep. The baery charges completely in five hours. The QuickTake
30 can be operated using AC power. See Operating from AC Power on page 9.
After charging the baery pack, it is good practice to run the pump for
approximately 5 minutes before calibrating. This ensures the baery is in more
steady-state conditions and improves the agreement in pre and post-sampling
calibrations.
• The pump will not sleep during charging. Connecting a sleeping pump to the
charger will wake it up from sleep.
• The AC charger/adapter can be used to extend baery run time, but it is not
a baery eliminator. Therefore, it will not provide indefinite run times.
• Do not operate or charge the pump in hazardous locations.
• Use only the SKC-approved charger for this pump. Use of an unapproved
charger may damage the baery and the pump and voids any warranty.
• The baery pack may be kept on the SKC-approved charger for an indefinite
time.
• Ensure proper orientation of the charging cable before plugging it into the
charging jack. Improper orientation/contact will short circuit the baery and
voids any warranty.
• Short-circuiting the baery pack will render it immediately inoperative.
• Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.
See www.skcinc.com/instructions/1756.pdf for more information on
SKC pump batteries.

Removing and Installing a Battery
1. With the back of the pump facing you (serial number
at boom left), use a small flat-head screwdriver
(tweaker) to pry up and remove two strip panels
from the left and right ends of the back of the case.
Removing the pressure-fit panels will reveal four
safety screws.
2. Use a Phillips head or flat-head screwdriver to
loosen the four safety screws.
3. Lift offthe back of the pump case.
4. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the
two screws (with washers) from the baery
bracket. Use forceps to remove screws and
washers from the case; set the screws aside.
Do not lose washers.
5. Lift the bracket slightly, slide it toward the
case handle, and lift it out of the case.
6. Detach the baery
from the baery
harness by pressing on
the connector tab (left
side of connector) and
pulling both sides of
the connector apart.

7. Using a full-size flat-head screwdriver, insert its tip underneath the baery
end nearest the case handle. Maneuver the screwdriver to apply an upward
force to the boom of the baery until the double-sided tape adhesive on its
boom releases its hold and the baery can be lifted from the case.
8. Aach the new baery to the baery harness connector by aligning the two
sides of the connector and pressing them together until they click.
9. Install the baery.
a. If installing a new baery (Cat. No. P75689), remove the protective strip
from double-sided mounting tape on the boom of the new baery to
expose adhesive.
b. If reinstalling the existing baery, remove as much of the previous
adhesive as possible from the boom of the baery. Remove the protective
strip from one side of a new two-inch piece of double-sided mounting
tape (available from SKC as Part No. 51872) and apply to the boom of
the baery. Remove the protective strip from the tape’s remaining side to
expose adhesive.
Ensure the battery harness wires on battery pack are facing away from the
case handle before inserting battery in case.
10. Align the baery in case (as shown above) before allowing the boom of the
baery to come into contact with and adhere to the pump base plate. Press
down gently to ensure the baery pack adheres to the base plate.
11. From the case handle side of the pump, slide the baery bracket into place
until two openings in the bracket are aligned with the two screw holes in the
pump base plate.
12. Use needlenose pliers to align the two screws with washers with the screw
holes. Tighten screws using a small flat-head screwdriver.
13. Replace the back of the pump case (serial number label should be in the lower
left corner) and tighten the four safety screws.
14. Replace the two strip panels and press them down until they are completely
installed.

Operating from AC Power
The QuickTake 30 may be run using AC power with the baery and AC
charger/adapter. Insert the charger plug into the jack on the pump and the
charger into a standard wall outlet. Operate the pump.
Cautions, Warnings, and Notes
• The charge light on the LED will flash if the baery is charging during AC
operation.
• The AC charger/adapter can be used to extend baery run time, but it
is not a baery eliminator. Therefore, it will not provide indefinite run
times.
• Do not operate or charge the pump in hazardous locations.
• Use only the SKC-approved baery and charger for this pump. Use of an
unapproved baery and/or charger may damage the baery and the pump
and voids any warranty.
• To reduce risk of injury, fire, or electric shock, always follow basic safety
precautions when using this product.
• Do not submerge the pump or subject it to any liquids.
• Protect the sample pump from weather when in use outdoors.
• Tampering with the baery pack or using a repaired or rebuilt baery
pack voids any warranty and UL Listing for intrinsic safety.
• Do not open, disassemble, short circuit, crush, incinerate, or expose the
baery to fire or high temperatures.
• Failure to follow warnings or cautions voids any warranty.
