Athena® 12 Volt Peristaltic Pump
Designed for the Field Technician in mind!
The Athena® peristaltic pump is lightweight and compact. To use, simply attach an external power source such as a 12-volt deep cycle battery to energize the pump. A high-performance motor consumes only 3 amps at maximum draw making Athena® peristaltic pump extremely efficient. The rugged Pelican™ 1300 case enclosure is made of impact and corrosion resistant ABS plastic to withstand demanding work conditions. Incorporating the most accurate and precise variable speed controller for consistent flow rates will ensure the technician reliable and consistent sample integrity. Includes a built-in digital display and sealed push buttons that are used to control the Athena® peristaltic pump.
Constant Voltage Boosting Technology (CVBT)
Proprietary system that boosts a "low voltage battery" to an amazing range of 13.5-14.5 volts when pressing the up and down button. That means faster water discharge rates and more consistent pumping rates. Which in turn makes your next groundwater field sampling event a profit center!
Masterflex Easyload® 2 pump head design
Super fast tubing load times; No more stretching and jamming silicon tubing through the pump head and definitely no more fiddling with screws to gain access to the pump head. Located on case exterior allowing the user to easily shut the enclosure.
Precise Push Button Technology
Hook up clamps to an external battery.
Super strong - Lightweight Pelican™ 1300 case
The Athena® peristaltic pump utilizes a Pelican™ 1300 case that lends hand to durability and weighs only 8 pounds. The rugged Pelican™ case enclosure is made of impact and corrosion resistant ABS plastic to withstand demanding work conditions.
Tell Me More LCD Display
Athena® LCD tells you real-time flow control. That means
you will visually see your current setting on the LCD screen
when retrieving a sample using the Athena® peristaltic pump.
Push Button Back Flushing
Supplied with a push button reversible flow feature for back-flushing.
Low Voltage Disconnect Warning (LVD)
The Athena® has a low voltage disconnect at 11 volts. In short,
the Athena® will shut off automatically if the battery output
voltage drops to 10.75 volts or lower. In short, the battery is
reaching a “critical low level” so stop using the unit immediately
and please recharge your battery within 24 hours.
Internal Fuse Replacement
If the Internal Fuse “blows”, it will automatically shut off the pump. This only happens if you should accidentally “reverse polarity” the pump clamps to the battery. The Internal Fuse will need to be replaced with another 20-amp blade fuse. The fuse is simple to replace. Please open panel to replace the fuse it is located on the bottom of the computer board. Unplug the power plug from the battery. Simply unscrew the screws from the panel, then replace fuse. Now, hook up the power plug to the battery terminals again. Turn on the power and the pump is ready to use.
