Isokinetic probe
For the best accuracy in laminar flow environments, always use the
supplied isokinetic probe with this
instrument. The velocity of air in the
probe is similar to that of a typical vertical or horizontal laminar flow
environment such as a clean room or clean hood. The supplied
isokinetic probe supplies the same vertical (or horizontal) flow speed of
the air in order to collect representative samples of the clean room
laminar flow for the instrument. Refer to Figure 2 for a comparison of
sampling with and without the isokinetic probe.

Installation
Installation guidelines
N O T I C E
Before a cleaning or disinfecting cycle is started, stop the vacuum pump and put
a cover on the air inlet fitting.
High internal temperatures cause damage to the instrument components.
• Install the instrument indoors in a clean, dry, well ventilated,
temperature controlled location with minimum vibration.
•
If the room is washed down at regular intervals, install the instrument
outside of the room. Only the air inlet and vacuum tubes will go into
the clean room. As an alternative, put the instrument in the clean room
in a sealed box. Connect all tubes and cables to the instrument
through the box. Operation of the instrument in an enclosed box may
increase the temperature around the instrument and decrease the
performance and life of the instrument.
• Do not operate the instrument in direct sunlight or next to a heat
source.
• Install the instrument as close to the sample source as possible. Make
sure that the distance is not more than 3 m (10 ft). An inlet tube length
longer than 3 m (10 ft) can cause a loss of particles larger than 1 μm.
If an inlet tube length longer than 3 m (10 ft) is necessary, compare
the results between a portable particle counter and this instrument.
• Keep the air flow in a constant downward direction. When possible,
mount the instrument directly below the sample point.
Vacuum system guidelines
• Put the vacuum pump in a central location. There must be sufficient
vacuum for all instruments in the network.
• Use a distribution manifold that keeps vacuum loss to a minimum.
Typical materials used for vacuum distribution include brazed copper
pipe, schedule 80 PVC pipe or tubing such as Cobolite®.
N O T I C E
8 English
• Use short tubing lengths to supply the vacuum from the distribution
manifold to the individual
barb fitting of the correct dimension at each instrument location.
• Keep the number of junctions, elbows and the tubing length from the
vacuum source to the instruments to a minimum to keep the vacuum
loss in a system to a minimum.

Install the sample probe
Refer to Sample probe guidelines on page 10
prevent contamination of the instrument and to get a representative
sample of the area. The position of the sample (isokinetic) probe is
important for count accuracy.
Sample probe options
Optional kits are available for sample probe installation. Refer to
Figure 6.
• Direct mount—No kit is necessary. The sample probe is installed on
a short piece of tubing directly on top of the sample air inlet fitting on
the instrument. Use direct mount installation when the instrument can
be put in the location where the sample is collected. Use the direct
mount installation to keep particle loss to a minimum.
• Wall mount, 90 degree—The probe is connected to a stainless steel
tube (90 degree) and a wall bracket.
• T-type wall bracket—The sample probe is installed in a wall bracket.
The tubing is cut to connect the probe to the counter.
• Vertical wall mount—The sample probe is connected to a stainless
steel tube and bracket. Use vertical wall mount installation on
equipment with stainless steel tubing.

Note: Liquids can be in the air in the form of oil droplets.
Install the tubing
Use tubing hooks or cable ties to hold the tubing and prevent a bend in
the tubing. A bend in the tubing will decrease the air flow and cause the
problem that follow
• A decrease in air inlet flow can cause particles to collect on the interior
walls of the tubing. The particles will not be counted. The collected
particles can release at random, which will cause spikes in the count
level.
Items to collect:
• Air inlet tubing—Hytrel® Bevaline, Tygon® or equivalent
• Vacuum tubing—Hytrel Bevaline, Tygon or equivalent
• Tubing hooks or cable ties
1. Cut the air inlet tubing to a length sufficient to connect the instrument
to the sample probe. Keep the tube length to a minimum. Make sure
that the length is not more than 3 m (10 ft).
s:
2. Cut the vacuum tubing to connect the counter to the vacuum source.
Keep the tube length to a minimum.
3. Put a cover on the tube ends to make sure that unwanted material
does not go in the tubes during installation.
4. Attach the tubing with hooks or cable ties at intervals that are not
more than 1.2 m (4 ft) apart. Make sure that the tubing has a
minimum bend radius of 10 cm (4 in.) so air flow is not decreased.
5. Connect the air inlet tubing to the air inlet fitting on the
instrument.
Connect the other end of the tubing to the supplied sample probe.
6. Connect the vacuum tubing to the fitting on the bottom (or side) of
the counter. Do not connect the other end to the vacuum until the

Connect the analog outputs
Connect instruments with the analog output feature to a data acquisition
system. Refer to Figure 8 on page 12 and Table 6 on page 12 for wiring
information.
When a +24 VDC power supply is used, the power supply can also be
used as the 4–20 mA loop power source if there is sufficient output for
the loop. Refer to Figure 12. Figure 13 shows the maximum limit of total
loop resistance (load and wiring combined) that is allowed.
Instruments with the analog output feature send a 4–20 mA signal that is
proportional to the number of counts in a given sampling time. The
analog outputs are updated at the end of each sample period. A data
acquisition system receives the signal. Instruments with the analog
output feature can have two or four channel sizes. Analog units cannot
be used in a network configuration.
Use the setup utility software to set the maximum number of counts that
correspond to the 20 mA signal. Refer to Configure the instrument
on page 17.
When power is applied, the analog outputs on the channels is 4 mA.
When power is removed or there is a sensor failure or flow failure, the
analog output on the channels is less than 2 mA. If a channel is disabled
by the user, the channel output is less than 2 mA. Any signal less than
4 mA (zero count value) causes a negative number in the data
acquisition system which identifies that there is a problem with the signal
from the instrument.
Configure the central monitoring software to alarm on any signal less
than 4 mA (zero count value) to get a sensor, flow or power loss alarm
as necessary.

Do an analog output test
For instruments with the analog output feature, do an analog output test.
1. Connect the analog outputs to the load resistors of the data
acquisition system.
Note: As an alternative, install a set of load resistors with 0.1% accuracy and
at least 0.25 W capability across the analog output. Load resistor values of
100, 250 or 500 ohms are typically used.
2. Let a tiny amount of particles flow through the instrument to get a
count in the test channel.
Note: One method to get counts is to use a zero count filter, and put a pin-hole
in the tubing that is between the filter and the
instrument.
3. On the Basic Setup tab of the setup utility software, temporarily set:
• Count Cycles—1
• Sample Timing: Hold—10 seconds or more
4. Click Save Settings.
5. Select the Data Display tab, then click Monitor if shown so the data
shown can update continuously as each sample is taken.
6. Click Sample if shown to start sample collection.
7. When the Status value changes from "Count" to "Stop", measure the
voltage across the load resistors for each channel. Also note the
counts shown in the display for each channel.
8. Use the equation that follows to calculate the expected voltage from
the counts shown. Make sure that the measured and calculated
voltages agree.
Voltage = (((SC ÷ FC × 16) + 4) ÷ 1000) × RL
Where:
SC = sample count at the end of the sample period
FC = full-scale channel count. Refer to the analog settings in the
setup utility software.
RL = value of the load resistor in ohms
The expected output voltage when the full-scale channel count is
1000 with a 100, 250 and 500-ohm resistor is shown in Table 7.
9. To do the test again, do steps 7–8.
10. For units with a flow monitor, temporarily remove the central vacuum
from the instrument.
11. While a flow alarm is active, measure the voltage across the load
resistors for each channel.
12. Use the equation that follows to calculate the expected voltage.
Make sure that the measured and calculated voltages agree.
Voltage = < (0.002 × RL)
Where: RL = value of the load resistor in ohms
Example: for a 100-ohm resistor, the voltage should be less than
0.20 V.

RS485 serial output with Modbus RTU protocol
Instruments with the RS485 Modbus communication option use industrystandard Modbus RTU protocol. In this communication mode, a series of
registers hold data about measurement results and operation
parameters.
When a ModbusTCP connection is made, the user can use all the
configuration options in the Modbus register map. Refer to the company
website for the Modbus register map. Write drivers to communicate with
the instrument through these registers with the Modbus RTU protocol.

1 particle size is detected. Channel 2 sends a pulse signal when the
channel size that is selected by the user is detected.
Pulse communication includes a status output signal that goes from low
to high when there is an active alarm. Pulse communication cannot be
used in a network configuration.
Set the network address for pulse communication
instruments to 1.
Refer to Table 8 on page 20.
The pulse signal can be sent in one of two count modes:
• Differential mode (default)—A signal is sent on Channel 1 when a
particle is between the first and the second channel size thresholds. A
signal is sent on the Channel 2 when a particle is larger than the userselected channel size threshold.
• Cumulative mode—A signal is sent on Channel 1 when a particle is
larger than the first or second channel size threshold. A signal is sent
on Channel 2 when a particle is larger than the user-selected channel
size threshold.
Figure 14 Differential versus cumulative count mode example
Pulse communication
Instruments with the pulse communication option send an 8-µs pulse
signal when a particle is detected. Refer to Figure 14. An external pulse
counter or data acquisition system receives the pulse signal and counts
the pulses as particles.

Installation
Conseils d'installation
A V I S
Avant de démarrer un cycle de nettoyage ou de désinfection, arrêtez la pompe à
vide et installez un couvercle sur le raccord d'arrivée d'air.
Des températures internes élevées endommagent les composants de
l'instrument.
• Installez l'instrument en intérieur, dans un lieu propre, sec, bien aéré
avec un contrôle de la température et un niveau de vibration
minimum.
•
Si la pièce est régulièrement lavée à grande eau, installez l'instrument
à l'extérieur de la pièce. Seuls les tubes d'arrivée d'air et de vide
doivent être installés dans la salle blanche. L'instrument peut
également être installé dans un boîtier hermétique puis dans la salle
blanche. Raccordez toute la tuyauterie et les câbles à l'instrument à
travers le boîtier. Tout fonctionnement de l'instrument à l'intérieur d'un
boîtier hermétique risque d'augmenter la température autour de
l'instrument et de diminuer ses performances et sa durée de vie.
• N'utilisez pas l'instrument à la lumière directe du soleil ou à proximité
d'une source de chaleur.
• Installez l'instrument le plus près possible de la source
d'échantillonnage. S'assurer que la distance n'est pas supérieure à
3 m (10 pieds). Tout tuyau d'arrivée d'une longueur supérieure à 3 m
risque d'entraîner une perte des particules de plus de 1 μm. Si un
tuyau d'arrivée d'une longueur de plus de 3 m est nécessaire,
essayez d'utiliser un compteur de particules portatif et comparez les
résultats avec cet instrument.
• Le flux d'air doit systématiquement être dirigé vers le bas. Si possible,
montez l'instrument directement sous le point d'échantillonnage.

Directives pour le système de vide
• Mettre la pompe à vide dans un endroit central. Il doit y avoir un vide
suffisant pour tous les instruments du réseau.
