Corrective Action

Pump stops due to low battery 
before the end of the required 
sample period

• 

Battery pack not fully charged before starting sample run. Ensure 
battery pack is fully charged before starting a sample run.

• 

Battery pack has reduced capacity as it nears end of life. Replace the 
battery pack.

• 

Filter media back pressure too high. Try a lower flow rate and/or a less 
restrictive filter media if the sampling method being used allows this.
