Schedule it on a PC!
Combine AirChek 2000, your PC, and DataTrac 2000 Software to easily create single or multiple sampling schedules that include delayed start, timed shutdown, and sequential sampling. Alternatively , a single schedule can be set manually using the pump’s large integral keypad.

Sample and record it!
Start sampling with the click of a mouse or the press of a button. A patented (U.S. Patent No. 5,892,160) internal flow sensor acts as a secondary standard to accurately maintain set flow. AirChek 2000 records flow rate, run time, sample volume, and flow fault throughout the sampling period. View values on a PC in pump history or during sampling on the pump LCD.

Download and report it!
Use your PC and DataTrac 2000 Software to download pump history, import data into your favorite software for IH lab reporting, or create a worker exposure profile for complete reporting.

CalChek it!
The CalChek feature provides direct communication between an AirChek 2000 pump and a Defender primary standard calibrator. This results in highly accurate single-point calibration for pre and post-sampling and complete multiple-point calibration following pump maintenance.

Partner the AirChek 2000 pump and CalChek with your PC and DataTrac 2000 Software for documented results of calibration for ISO 9000, Total Quality Management programs, and occupational health and safety management systems.

Patented* isothermal flow control system
Accurate internal flow sensor measures flow directly and acts as a secondary standard to maintain set flow with an accuracy of ± 5%. Thermal and pressure sensors maintain flow calibration by compensating for differences between the temperature and atmospheric pressure at calibration and those during sampling.
* US Patent No. 5,892,160

212-2000 Airchek 2000 with DEFENDER Calibrator

Advanced Automatic Calibration Feature!
Direct Communication to a Primary Standard

The patented (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,227,031 and 6,363,769) CalChekautomatic calibration feature makes it easy to calibrate an AirChek 2000 pump to the desired flow rate using a Defender calibrator without manual adjustments (requires an AirChek 2000 pump [version 2.59 or higher], a Defender calibrator, and CalChek communication cable). Optional DataTrac 2000 Software (version 3.62 or higher) can be used to expand the documentation capabilities of this system. CalChek allows automatic field calibration, reduces the need for frequent factory calibration, and provides two calibration options. Both types of calibration bring flow to within 5%.

Single-point Calibration allows setting and verifying a flow rate at a single point before and after sampling.
Multiple-point (Full) Calibration corrects flow to a primary standard at multiple flow rates to cover the basic operational flow range of the pump.

Fast, simple, and accurate calibration
No timers, soap film, or delicate equipment needed. The tough Defender calibrator with built in DryCal technology provides an automatic, accurate flow rate average that you can count on.

No manual adjustments
The CalChek feature provides direct communication between the AirChek 2000 Sample Pump and the Defender calibrator. No user intervention is needed. Simply set up the calibration train and push a button to start automatic calibration.

CalChek — two calibration options
With CalChek, quickly calibrate flow at a single point before and verify flow after sampling or calibrate the pump across a range of flows following repair and maintenance to ensure optimum pump performance.

Complete documentation of calibration for ISO 9000, TQM programs, and OHS management systems
CalChek, used with DataTrac Software, allows the user to download data to a PC and generate printed reports for complete documentation.

AirChek 2000
Easy Operation and Long Run Times

Large easy-to-read LCD
Large easy-to-read LCD of the AirChek 2000

Continuously updated sampling data displays on the AirChek 2000 large LCD. With the press of a single button, scroll through flow rate, air volume, run time, temperature, atmospheric pressure, battery status, time of day, and flow fault. A battery status icon constantly displays and a flow fault icon flashes during restricted or blocked flow. A flashing LED on top of the pump indicates the pump is running in low-light or loud environments.

Easy Manual Programming
It’s right on the front of the pump. Set flow rate and run time without screwdrivers; simply use the 3-button keypad. A convenient timed shutdown feature allows you to program the AirChek 2000 to run for a set time from 1 to 999 minutes, a very useful feature for STELs or repetitive sample runs.

Simple 3-button Keypad

Flow Fault Features:

Auto shut-off with low battery or excessive back pressure
Adjustable flow fault shutdown from 5 seconds to 4 minutes when used with a PC and DataTrac 2000 Software
Auto-restart from flow fault attempted every 5 minutes for a maximum of 10 times (can be changed with DataTrac 2000 Software)
Run time data stored in memory

AirChek 2000 Run Time in Hours with NiMH Battery
Following are typical run times achieved when using a fully charged nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack. Data is sorted by type of sample media. All run times are listed in hours. Results are obtained using a new pump and new fully charged battery. Pump performance may vary.
