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 fl ash 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 batt ery charges completely in fi ve hours. The QuickTake
30 can be operated using AC power. See Operating from AC Power on page 8.
Aft er charging the batt ery pack, it is good practice to run the pump for
approximately 5 minutes before calibrating. This ensures the batt ery 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 batt ery run time, but it is not
a batt ery eliminator. Therefore, it will not provide indefi nite 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 batt ery and the pump and voids any warranty.
• The batt ery pack may be kept on the SKC-approved charger for an indefi nite
time.
• Ensure proper orientation of the charging cable before plugging it into the
charging jack. Improper orientation/contact will short circuit the batt ery and
voids any warranty.
• Short-circuiting the batt ery pack will render it immediately inoperative.
• Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.
