Pump Features
All Models
Battery charging options
SKC offer two battery charger options for the Sidekick series pumps, a single
charger (Part No. 223-203A) and a five station charger (Part No. 223-103A).
Both charger models provide optimum charging of the NiMH battery packs
used in the Sidekick series pumps, based on a timed (16 hour) constant
current charging phase followed by a switch to a trickle charging rate to
prevent overcharging.
Mains power option
The Sidekick series pumps can also be powered from the electrical mains
supply using a ‘battery eliminator’ (Part Nos. 223-300B - Euro 2 pin plug, 223-
300C UK 3 pin plug). This accessory comprises a mains adaptor and dummy
battery pack which is fitted to the pump in place of the standard battery pack.
Please note that the pump’s ATEX certification is invalidated when using the
battery eliminator, and therefore
must not be used in hazardous areas when
the battery eliminator is fitted.
Anti-tamper cover The pump controls are situated beneath a clear anti-tamper cover.
Low battery shutdown
Automatic pump shutdown in the event of a low battery condition. Prevents
degradation of battery pack due to over-discharge.
Particulate trap
Built in replaceable filter to trap particles that would otherwise contaminate
the pump mechanism.
