Table 1. Pump Run Time in Hours with Alkaline Batteries
Following are typical run times achieved when using a new pump and new
disposable AA alkaline batt eries. Data is sorted by type of sample media. All run
times are listed in hours. Pump and batt ery performance may vary.
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 fi lter
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.
