RP-2009 Pump for the GX-2009
8. Turn on the pump unit by pressing and holding the POWER button
until the RP-2009 beeps and the power indication LED turns green,
about 2 seconds.
WARNING:While the GX-2009 is installed in the RP-2009, the pump must
be on for the GX-2009 to function as a gas detection monitor.
9. Go to the area to be sampled.
If the rubber sample nipple is used, detach the RP-2009/GX-2009
assembly from your belt and hold the RP-2009/GX-2009 assembly near
the area to by sampled. If sampling from a vessel or an enclosed area is
desired, insert the rubber sample nipple into the vessel or enclosed
area. Allow the pump unit to sample for 90 seconds for a full response
on the GX-2009.
If an optional hose and probe are used instead of the rubber sample
nipple, hold the probe in the area to be sampled. To sample from a well
or other similar sample area, the hose and probe may be lowered into
the sample area. Allow the pump unit to sample for 90 seconds for a
full response on the GX-2009.
NOTE:
Although the RP-2009 pump does have a hydrophobic filter built
in, the optional probe does not have a hydrophobic filter. It has a
dust filter only.
10. Monitor the GX-2009 display for the gas readings and take appropriate
action if gas alarms occur.
11. When sampling is complete, go to a fresh air area and turn off the pump
unit.
12. Remove the RP-2009/GX-2009 assembly from your belt or clothing.
13. Turn off the RP-2009 by pressing and holding the POWER button until
the RP-2009 sounds a long beep and the power indicator LED turns off,
about 3 seconds.
14. Turn off the GX-2009.
