Sampling

Locate system in an unobstructed area, at least 6 feet (2 meters) from 
any obstacle to air

fl

 ow.

Allow pump to equilibrate after moving it from 
one temperature extreme to another.

1. A

tt

 ach mounting bracket at the desired location and 

at breathing zone height (6 feet or 2 meters) using 
wire ties or other fasteners. Mount sampling head 
loaded with media cartridge on mounting bracket 
by threading clamp knob into bo

tt

 om of sampling 

head.

2.  Insert screw on rain cover into top of the sampling 

head inlet and rotate cover until tight.

3.  Turn on pump and record sample start time, ambient 

temperature, ambient pressure, and other pertinent 
data.

Sample start time and duration can be pro-
grammed into the Leland Legacy Sample Pump 
in advance and sampling may be started manu-
ally or automatically.

Record all necessary data before disconnecting 
pump from ba

tt

 ery and reconnecting to new 

ba

tt

 ery.

4.  After desired sample time has elapsed, record sample 

stop time. Remove rain cover from sampling head and 
reinstate calibration adapter, tubing, and calibrator 

(see Calibration)

.  Record post-sample 

fl

 ow rate.

5. Turn 

o

  pump. Record total volume, ambient temperature, ambient 

pressure, and other pertinent data.

6.  Reach inside case and press quick-connect 

release while pulling tubing from case (pump) 
inlet. Remove tubing from sampling head. 
Remove sampling head from bracket.

7.  Remove sampling head to a clean area.

•  The supplied rain cover should be used for all outdoor sampling.
•  Keep Leland Legacy Sample Pump inside the Pelican case and the case 

closed during sampling to protect sample pump from weather.
