• Available as single kits
• Available in multiple 5 pack kits with a 5 way charger or 5 separate chargers
• Three button control coupled with a customized LCD lead to intuitive operation
Features
• Wide operating range: 0.8 to 4 lpm directly
• 5 to 750 ml/min with low flow adaptor
• Direct volumetric flow control
• Long term flow rate stability
• Infra-red com port for simplicity of downloads
• Up to 100 events may be stored in memory
• Drop in fast charging cradle
• Gas smpling bag outlet for grab sampling

Apex Pro 200 |
The Casella Pump Manager software is available as an additional option (182091A) 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 for a new measurement event. |
