The Tuff pumps convenient charging cradle allows single or multiple pumps and separate battery packs to be charged. Intelligent battery monitoring and fast/trickle charge control maintains optimum battery condition and service life. Full charge can be obtained in typically less than 5 hours on fast charge. Embedded battery pack intelligence tracks state of charge and log term battery condition. A single or 3 way charger is available.
Tuff pumps are available with either 3 or 4.5 V min maximum flow rate capability. Standard, Plus and Pro models then provide different levels of functionality and programmability.
The Tuff Standard model offers entry level pumps for abatement and general sampling applications. Features include a simple single point flow setting, elapsed run time counter and run mode only, simple battery life indication and a drop in fast charger.
Tuff Plus models offer additional functionality including display of flow set point, real time flow rate, accumulated sample time and volume, programmable run duration mode and is upgradeable to the Pro version.
Tuff Pro models offer advanced program functionality and download capabilities suited to the most demanding occupational and industrial hygiene applications. Pro models also offer intelligent hours remaining battery "Fuel Gauge", time weighted average (TWA) sampling mode, 2 user defined time programs (9 on/off times) and onboard data logging for up to 100 runs with download capability to Insight Data Management Software.
IS models are used where hazardous atmospheres can be present from flammable gases or dusts. In this situation, IS models should be used. Two battery packs are available: 1.7 Ah standard pack for general short term monitoring and 2.7 Ah versions where longer sampling durations may be required.
