sample is valid
3. Li-Ion rechargeable batteries for longer run times - up to 46 hours (media dependent)
4. Includes a battery fuel gauge to report the remaining battery capacity.
5. Charging from flat to full, 6 hours.
6. Bag Fill Mode : automatic stop when full
7. Constant Pressure Mode: allows the user to set a constant pressure enabling multiple
sampling.
8. In the event of a flow blockage, the pump will attempt restart after 1 minute. The
user can specify the number of restarts (0-9). If 0 is selected, a single blockage will
stop the pump until intervention to prevent damage to the pump.

in the display and download. Units are user selectable; cmH2O H2O and KPa.
13. Real time clock, battery backed
14. Timer programs can be accessed from the menu. The programs included are:
a) Run duration : the pump will run for a selected amount of time and stop
b) Sequence Timer: User specifies up to 9 ON/OFF times and days (Mon-Sun &
ANY)
c) TWA (Time Weighted Average): User specifies run duration and exposure time,
e.g. Set the pump running for 8 hours but only sample for 15 minutes out of
every hour.

Connectivity and Data Reporting:

1. The Personal Sampling Pump can communicate, using Bluetooth low energy over
long distances (up to 100 feet or more) to a mobile device (smartphone, tablet) using
the Airwave app to display instrument status, serial number, test run time, basic
overall data values from multiple personal sampling pumps simultaneously.
2. The Airwave app. also allows the user to select any individual Personal Sampling
Pump communicating to (and displayed by) the mobile device by using the
touchscreen of their mobile device. From here they can perform additional functions
remotely including: remote start/stop/pause control functions and display of a more
complete set of overall data metrics.
3. Data from the sampling run can be emailed via the Airwave app. to the user along
with any relevant notes and photographs for easier reporting.
4. Simple menu driven user interface operated by 4 keys.
5. Data storage capacity: up to 200 sampling runs.
6. Data can be downloaded from the Personal Sampling Pump when it is in the docking
station via a download utility. This enables the data to be imported into Excel or
other spreadsheet/reporting package.
7. The recorded data set will include:
a) Pump Serial Number
b) Run Start Time and Date
c) Set flow rate
d) Sample duration
e) Volume sampled
f) Battery Status
g) Inlet pressure, final pressure and minimum run pressure)
h) Motion index (0-100%)
i) Events record, identifying: Blockages, Fatal blockages, Battery Fail.
