GILAIR-3 & GILAIR-5 AIR SAMPLING PUMPS

(7.5)

0

. Indicates percent of time pump runs

outside of 

±

 5% fault tolerance envelope

during sampling run. Maximum indication is
9% regardless of actual performance.

(7.6) 4-Character Display. Display letters and

messages listed below (Program model only
unless otherwise noted):

C

Cycles. The number of times the Run
Time interval is performed.

PC

Basic program which does the simple
clock mode.

P1

User-defined program.

P2

User-defined program.

P3

User-defined program.

P4

User-defined program.

P5

User-defined program.

P6

User-defined program.

E

Programming error.

LAST

Flashes alternately with the run time, 

R

(7.3), and 

(7.5) icons displayed (Clock

& Program models).

Old

Flashes alternately with the run time, 

R

(7.3), and 

(7.5) icons displayed. Re-

fers to run data prior to the 

LAST

 sam-

pling run (Program model only).

SHUT/OFF (alternately)

Reminder message to turn the pump
off. It indicates that 5 minutes have
elapsed since:

1) a fault condition has terminated the
sampling run, or

2) a programmed sampling run has
reached completion.

CAL

Flashing: prepared to run the pump without
gathering sampling data. Non-flashing:
pump is running; enables calibration of
pump’s air flow rate (Clock & Program
models).

(8) MODE/HOLD button. Mode Change.

Hold Operation.

(9) PROG button. Program Select.

Accept Variable or Value shown on display.

(10)

 and 

 buttons. Increase or decrease a value or

scroll through a menu list.

(11)Rotameter. Use as reference only. Actual flow

should be set using a Gilibrator or another flow
calibration device.
