Escort ELF Specifications

Operating Flow Control
Volumetric flow rate held within ± 2.5% of set-point
over the 1-to-3 lpm operating range (± 5% to 0.5
lpm), with automatic compensation for battery
voltage, altitude, temperature and sample load
changes.

Flow Rate
Flow rate adjustable between 0.5 and 3 lpm; lower
flow rates attainable (to 1 mlpm) with optional
Gemini Twin-Port Sampling accessory.

Flow Indication
Liquid Crystal Display provides 0.01 lpm resolution.

Operating Range
30 inches of water load up to 2 lpm and 10 inches
up to 3 lpm.

Flow Blockage Detection
Flow-Fault LED comes on immediately when
block is detected. Pump shuts down within 90
seconds if block is not cleared.

Elapsed Time Readout
To 999 minutes in increments of 1 minute. Holds
the last reading after either flow blockage or low
battery shutdown and when pump is off or in hold
mode.

300 or more charging cycles

CALIBRATION DEVICES :- The calibration of a sampling pump
is critical to the quality of samples taken. Calibration determines that
the flow rate of air through the pump is accurate, within specifi ed limits,
usually ± 5%. A primary calibration device, the DigiCal™ Calibrator
provides instantaneous calibration for instruments like the Zefon Escort LC
Pump or the secondary flow standard inside the Escort ELF Sampling
Pumps.

Just press the plunger and the Digi- Cal Calibrator does the work. Its unique flow cell replaces conventional bubble
tubes and makes calibration easier. The DigiCal Calibrator achieves extreme
accuracy by utilizing a computerized flow meter that provides instantaneous
flow readouts on a digital display. Accurate measurements are possible within
±0.5% at any altitude.

Gemini® Twin-Port Sampler
For low-flow control when sorbent
tubes are used, the patented Gemini
Twin-Port Sampler is a valved mechanism
that allows flow adjustment
down to 1 mlpm (0.001 lpm to 600
mlpm total between both tubes).
U.S. Patent No. 5,370,004. As an
added benefit, the Gemini accessory
permits simultaneous sampling from
sorbent tubes, with independently
controlled flow rates of each. Dual
sampling means two like sorbent
tubes can be attached for simultaneous sampling at different flow rates, or
two different tubes can be used to sample two types of substances at once.
