Attach the PTFE tubing to the pump inlet port and push your sorbent tube for 

calibration into the relevant adapter. The sampling arrow on the TD tube 

should be pointing towards the pump.

NOTES

  Use the back-pressure adapter when setting flows of up to 100 mL/min; 

use the plastic tube adapter when setting flows in excess of 

 

100 mL/min.

[7] 

Connect the sampling end of the TD tube to a suitable flow measuring device, 

e.g.

 digital flowmeter. (C-FLMTR)

NOTES

  Markes digital flowmeter (C-FLMTR) is limited to flows of 500 mL/min

[8] 

Ensure the flow measuring device is on and working. 

[9] 

Select 'Calibrate' from the start menu.

 

The display will indicate the set flow rate and the pump will begin to run in 

calibration mode.

[10] 

Use the adjustment keys to adjust the flow rate on the display screen until it 

matches that of the flow rate measured by the calibration device, press 

<ENTER>. Using the information of the actual flow rate, the pump will adjust to 

run at the calibration point.

[11] 

When the desired flow rate has been reached, press <ENTER> to set 

calibration. The pump is now ready for sampling.

[12] 

To power the pump off, press and hold the power key until the power down 

window appears and the countdown is complete.
