## Description

The **Gilian AirCon-2** (from Sensidyne) is a programmable, constant-flow **area air sampling pump** that draws **2-30 LPM** through a filter cassette or sorbent tube for area, industrial-hygiene, and environmental sampling. It is built for stationary, long-duration runs at a fixed location, not for clipping to a worker's belt. ERE Inc. is an **authorized Canadian and US distributor** that will sell you the AirCon-2, rent it to you, or calibrate and repair the one you already own — in-house, with NIST-traceable flow calibration.

## What the AirCon-2 is and how it fits the sample train

The AirCon-2 is the **pump** in an area sampling train. It pulls a known, constant volume of air at a set flow rate through your chosen collection media so that air contaminant can be captured and sent for lab analysis. A typical area sample train runs:
- **Pump (AirCon-2)** — sets and holds the flow rate (2-30 LPM)
- **Collection media** — a filter cassette (for particulate) or a sorbent tube (for vapours)
- **Tubing** — connects the media to the pump inlet
- **Sampling mast** — positions the inlet at breathing-zone height in the area being monitored

Because flow is held constant and the pump is fully programmable, the AirCon-2 is suited to unattended, repeatable area sampling where a personal pump's short battery life and small flow range would fall short.

## Applications
- **Area and perimeter sampling** inside a plant or facility — fixed-location monitoring of a work area rather than one person
- **Industrial-hygiene area monitoring** — characterizing airborne exposure across a space
- **Environmental and ambient particulate** sampling at a fixed point
- **Abatement and remediation perimeter** monitoring during asbestos, mold, or lead work
- **Unattended long-duration sampling** — up to 99 hours via programmed timing routines

Typical contaminant targets include **dust and total particulate, asbestos fibres, mold spores, respirable silica, and metals** — driven by the cassette or sorbent media you pair with the pump and the analytical method you follow.

## Specifications

 | Specification | AirCon-2

 | Flow range | 2-30 LPM, constant-flow control

 | Programming | Up to three custom timing routines (starts, stops, delays, holds, cycles)

 | Unattended run time | Up to 99 hours via programmed routines

 | Interface | Touchpad with LCD display

 | Fault handling | Instant Fault function — stops the run, locks the elapsed time, and displays "FAULT"

 | Back-pressure check | Instant Pressure Check on the LCD via a single button

 | Power source | Operates off AC or battery power

 | Included | Sampling mast, support tip, hose, and manual

 | Power (required, sold separately) | Power Module GIL-801000-2 and/or Battery GIL-801001 (4-hour Lead-Acid Gel pack; stack two for 8-hour operation)

Full specifications and the operating manual are available on the **Gilian AirCon-2 datasheet** linked on this page.

## Complete your setup

The AirCon-2 ships with a sampling mast, support tip, hose, and manual. To run it, you also need a power source, and to take a sample you need collection media:
- **Power Module GIL-801000-2** and/or **Battery GIL-801001** — required for operation, sold separately
- **Filter cassettes** for particulate, asbestos, and metals sampling
- **Sorbent tubes** for vapour and VOC sampling
- **Tubing** to connect the media to the pump

Not sure which media matches your contaminant and method? ERE can match the right cassette or sorbent tube to your ASTM or NIOSH method — the application guidance pure e-tailers don't provide. [Request a quote](/pages/request-a-quote) with your contaminant and we'll spec the full kit.

## Personal vs area: which Gilian pump do you need?

The AirCon-2 is an **area** pump — fixed location, high flow, long unattended runs. If you need to measure one worker's exposure, a **personal** pump that clips to the belt is the right tool. ERE stocks the full Gilian / Sensidyne range:
- **AirCon-2** — area / perimeter, 2-30 LPM, up to 99 hr unattended (this page)
- **Gilian BDX-II** — heavy-duty personal pump for abatement and remediation work
- **Gilian GilAir-3 / GilAir-5** — personal belt-worn pumps for breathing-zone sampling
- **Gilian GilAir Plus** — programmable personal pump with low- and high-flow ranges
- **Gilian 5000** — personal pump for higher-flow personal sampling
- **Gilibrator-2** — primary-standard flow calibrator for verifying any of these pumps

## Rent it, buy it, or send yours in for calibration

Air sampling pumps drift out of spec, and an out-of-spec pump means an invalid sample. Good practice is to verify flow against a primary standard **before and after every use**. That's why ERE doesn't just sell a pump and walk away:
- **Buy** the AirCon-2 outright
- **Rent** it for a single project or campaign instead of buying
- **Calibrate and repair** your Gilian or Sensidyne pump in-house, with NIST-traceable flow calibration

Plenty of sellers will ship you this pump. Few are an authorized distributor that also calibrates and repairs it in-house, with NIST-traceable flow calibration — that's the depth manufacturers, e-tailers, and rental-only competitors simply don't offer.
