The SKC Pocket Pump TOUCH is a portable sample pump designed for air sampling. To begin, ensure the battery is fully charged using the magnetic charging cable. Power on the device using the button on top. Use the touch screen to navigate menus, set flow rates, and start sampling. Always verify flow rates before and after sampling using a flowmeter.
Getting Started
Charging the Battery: Connect the USB cable to a wall adapter, PC, or portable power pack. Hover the magnetic charging connector over the contact on the back of the pump until the LEDs light blue. A full charge takes approximately 10 hours.
Turning the Pump On/Off: Press the Power On/Off button on top of the pump. The screen will light up. To turn off, press the button again while the pump is not running. The pump will automatically power off after five minutes of inactivity.
Operation
Setting Flow Rate: From the Main Menu, touch Sample >Flow. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the flow rate. Touch the check mark to save.
Constant Flow Mode: Used for single or multiple sorbent tube trains. Requires a 222 Series Low Flow Holder (single) or 224 Series Multiple-tube Low Flow Holder (multiple) and a Constant Pressure Controller (CPC) for multiple tubes.
Constant Pressure Mode: For advanced users. Requires setting back pressure. From the Main Menu, touch Sample >Advanced >Set Pressure. Adjust the pressure and confirm.
Sampling: Once the flow rate is verified and the sampling train is connected, select Sample >Flow (or Advanced) and touch the Run button to start.
Maintenance
Changing the Battery: Turn off the pump. Use the provided 1.5-mm hex key to loosen the two safety screws on the back of the battery pack housing. Lift the housing to remove it. Install the new battery pack, align it with the pump case, and tighten the screws.
Cleaning the Touch Screen: Use a soft, clean, and dust-free cloth. Do not use alcohol.
Troubleshooting
If the display is frozen, press the Power On/Off button to shut off the pump, remove the battery, and reinstall it.
