PRINCIPLE INTRODUTION
TEK1-AirSam Microbial Air Sampler is designed according to the principle of impaction.

USING ENVIRONMENT
Temperature: 5 40C
Relative humidity: 10 - 90% RH
Atmospheric pressure: 80 - 110kPa

CONSTRUCTION
The sampler is composed of two parts. The upper part includes the sampling head, culture dish
pedestal, sampling pump, sampling pump pedestal and sampling pump power supply. The lower
part includes the control plate, memory, LCD monitor, keyboard, battery package; please refer to
the picture No. 1.
The sampler could be used with AC/DC. There is a switch and jack at the back bottom of the
instrument (see the picture No. 1). When the instrument uses the DC, switch on for the battery
supply; when uses the AC, plug in the equipped 7.4V AC adapter to the jack. When the switch is on,
its under the status of charge; when the switch is off, the 7.4V AC adapter works and maintains the
status of charge.

OPERATION
1. Remove the sampling head, place the Petri dish holding the culture medium with the diameter
of 90mm to the dish pedestal and adjust the dish to the horizontal level. Adjust the locating rod
to make the reticle at the same plane as that of the culture medium and install the sampling
head.
2. Switch on the electric power source and the screen displays the previous sampling data and
time. Press the Up and Down key to check the historical data in the memory. Press the Stop key
to make the System enters the sampling ready status. Then the current date and time are
displayed and the sampling value is displayed as Zero.
3. Discharge the closure door.
4. Press the sampling key system to enter the Sampling Status and start the sampling pump and
counter according to the deferred time. Now the sampling quantity gradually accumulates to
the set value, the counting stops automatically, close the sampling pump and store the current
sampling quantity, time and date in the internal memory.

5. Under the sampling status, press Stop key to stop the sampling work, close the sampling
pump, stop the accumulation of the sampling volume, press Stop key again to clear the current
display and enter the sampling ready status.
6. Press Function key to enter the parameter setting status and the setting of the parameter is
as follows:
a) Setting of sample volume: press up and down key under this status to adjust the sampling
quantity, the range of which is 10-6000 liter and the adjustment pace is 10 liter. Press Stop
key to enter the parameter setting and press Function to enter the setting of next
parameter.
b) Setting of sampling deferred time: press up and down key under this status to adjust the
deferred time, the range of which is 0-256 seconds and the adjustment pace is 1 second. Press
Stop key to enter the parameter setting and press Function to enter the setting of next
parameter.
c) Setting of backlight deferred time: press Up and Down key under this status to adjust the
backlight deferred time; the range of which is 0-256 seconds and the adjustment pace is 1
second. Press Stop key to enter the parameter setting and press Function to enter the
setting of next parameter.
d) Adjustment of contrast: under this status, press the Up and down key to adjust the contrast
of LCD monitor with the range of 0-3. Press Stop key to exit the parameter setting and press
Function key to enter the setting of next parameter.
e) Time setting: under this status, press Up and Down key to adjust the time where the cursor
is located. Press Enter to change the position of the cursor and Stop key to exit the
parameter setting, and Function key to enter the setting of next parameter.
f) Date setting: under this status, press Up and Down key to adjust the date where the cursor is
located. Press Enter to change the position of the cursor and Stop key to exit the
parameter setting and Function key to enter the setting of next parameter.
g) Regulation of sampling volume: under this status, press Up and Down key to adjust the
regulation value of the sampling quantity, namely the actually measured flow value per

minute. The range is 100 liter/min and the adjustment pace is 1 liter/min. Press Stop key to
exit the parameter setting and Function key to enter the setting of next parameter.
h) Zero clearing setting: under this status press Up and Down key to adjust the zero clearing
status. Press Confirm key under the status of zero clearing to eliminate the historical data
in the memory and exit the setting status of the parameters. Press Stop key to exit the
parameter setting and Function key to enter the setting of next parameter.

MAINTAINANCE

Specifications & appearance is subject to change

Its not allowed to draw the corrosive gas and use it in severe acid and alkali environment;
nor is it allowed to be used in the environment with the powder density larger than 0.3
mg/m3.
Its not allowed to press the Sampling key when the Closure door is not discharged.
When the screen displays the battery pattern, it shows the electric quantity is insufficient and
must be charged for use.
When installing the Petri dish, it must be in place and be fastened and adjust the dish to the
horizontal level.
The Petri dish must be adjusted to the horizontal level; adjust the locating rod to make the
reticle on which at the same plane of the culture medium.
After each use, use the alcohol to wipe the sampling head and closure door clean and
cover the closure door on the sampling head.
When the instrument is not used for long time, it shall be put in the packing chest and it shall
be used at least once a month and no less than 10 minutes once.
