Description

182150B Apex IS Standard Sampling Pump with No Charger Unit (UL & ATEX Approved Version) by Casella

The new Apex IS range of personal sampling pumps has been developed to provide sampling capabilities between 0.005 and 4 l/min. Approval from the UL in the USA mean that the pumps can be used in any circumstance where intrinsic safety is an issue. Two main models are available in the range; the Apex Standard IS and the Apex Pro IS. Ease of use and utmost reliability were uppermost in the designer�s minds during the development of these quality pumps from Casella CEL. Digital circuitry ensures precise and constant control of the flow rate.

Key Benefits

Wide operating range from 800 ml/min to 4 l/m directly
5 to 750 ml/m with low flow adaptor for vapors
Direct volumetric flow control
Long term stability between calibrations
Infra-red communications for simplicity of downloads with Pro model
Pro model stores up to 100 events in memory
Drop in fast charger to get back up and running quickly
Gas bag outlet for grab sampling of gasses
Standard IS model pump upgradeable to Pro IS pump version via PC software

Applications

Personal sampling for particulates in the breathing zone
Designed to comply with EN1232, MDHS 14/3, NIOSH 0600 requirements
Available in single kits
Available in multiple 5 pack kits with a 5 way charger or 5 separate chargers
Three buttons on the pump and a customized LCD make the user interface intuitive

A full range of sampling heads and filter cassettes are available from Casella CEL for measuring respirable, total inhalable and the PM fractions depending on the measurement protocol being followed. You can be confident that the pump will maintain a constant flow during the measurement and will alert the user should a problem occur with the flow due to a restriction or blocked filter.

Operation and use

The Casella Pump Manager software is available for use with the logging functions of the Apex IS Pro model and handles all the setup and downloading of the relevant pump run data for comprehensive reporting and archiving. Maintain a database of your measurements including the pump details and individual personal data. A drop in fast charger intelligently charges the Apex IS pumps and maintains them at peak power ready for a new measurement.
