Setup
Installing the Battery Pack
1. Align arms on top half of case with slots on either side of the battery pack
housing. Ensure the back of the battery pack with the charging jack is on
the same side as the belt clip.
2. Slide battery pack up until arms click into place.
3. Push each security screw into the battery pack housing and tighten.
4. Completely charge battery before use (see Charging the Battery Pack).
Charging the Battery Pack
For proper maintenance of battery packs, SKC offers
a charger (see Accessories on page 22) that conditions
the battery for optimum performance in 6 to 8.5 hours.
1. For optimum charge, ensure pump is not running.
2. Insert the charging plug into the sampler’s charg-
ing jack.
3. Charge battery pack completely before use.
Plug the SKC PowerFlex
®
charger cable into the jack on the back of the
battery pack (see charger operating instructions).
After charging the battery pack, it is good practice to run the pump for
approximately fi ve minutes before calibrating. This ensures the battery
is in more steady-state conditions and improves the agreement in pre
and post-sampling calibrations.
• To comply with intrinsic safety regulations, do not charge or operate
the pump from the charger in hazardous locations.
• Using a non-approved charger voids any warranty.
• Use of a repaired or rebuilt battery pack voids any warranty and the UL
Listing for intrinsic safety.
• Use of any device other than the approved battery pack to power the
pump voids the UL Listing for intrinsic safety and any warranty.
• Ensure proper orientation of charging cable before plugging it into the
charging jack. Improper orientation/contact will short-circuit the bat-
tery and voids any warranty.
• Short-circuiting the battery pack will render it immediately inoperative.
• Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.
The battery pack may be kept on the SKC-approved charger for an
indefi nite time.
