Taking Samples Using Sequential Sampling Mode
1. Setup the pump as described in steps 1-3 for single sampling mode.
2. Using the arrows, select “SEQUENTIAL SAMPLING MODE”, then
press SET.
3. Using the arrows, select the number of on/off cycles, then press SET.
4. Using the arrows, select the CYCLE RUN TIME (adjustable in
seconds), then press SET.
5. Using the arrows, select the CYCLE OFF TIME (adjustable in
seconds), then press SET.
6. Press START to begin sampling. Once completed, the unit will
beep, the display will show “SAMPLE COMPLETE” and the yellow
sample complete light will turn on. Remove cassette from pump by
gently pulling upward.
7. Seal cassette, document the sample run time and send to
laboratory for analysis.
Note
: “Sequential Sampling Mode” mode will exit upon hitting the
“SET” button after runtime and off-time have both been set.
Battery
Checking the Remaining Amount of Battery Power
Note
: Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries constantly work at regenerating themselves and releasing
more power. It is possible for the displayed battery level to increase or decrease without being used
because of this.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery level becomes very low, the red LED will come on. Some additional samples may
still be taken, but the unit should be plugged in as soon as possible.
Low Battery Shut Down
If the battery’s voltage drops low enough that the unit will not operate reliably, or if for any reason
an inconsistent motor speed is detected, the unit will shut down. During shutdown, the amount of
actual run time will be saved. When power is restored, “Incomplete run” will be displayed on the home
screen. Previous sample may be continued, or a new sample may be started.
Charging the Battery
To charge the battery, plug in the charger. The green charging light next to the LCD display will Illuminate
to indicate the unit is charging. When charging is complete, the charging light will blink. A full battery
charge takes approximately 3 hours. If the pump will not be used for an extended period of time, it
will slowly lose its battery charge and will need to be recharged before use. During these extended
periods, the pump can be kept on AC power so the battery receives a trickle charge.
AC Power Operation
The Bio-Pump
®
may be operated using standard AC power supplied by the charger.
Replacing the Battery
(see page 3)
1. Press the POWER button to turn the pump on.
2. Using the arrows, select BATTERY LEVEL. The display will show
“Checking Battery Level”.
3. After a few seconds the percentage of battery life remaining will be
displayed.

Remove the four Phillips-head screws at each
far corner of the bottom case.
Unplug the old battery from the circuit board.
Remove it from the top of the case.
Lift the bottom case about one centimeter up,
and turn it over TO THE RIGHT of the top case.
Install the new battery in the same orientation
as the old, plug it into the board, and replace the
bottom cover with four phillips-head screws.
Do not overtighten as screws might strip.
