operating properly. This zero check must be performed at least once a day, or before use if not used
daily.

1. Turn on the instrument, and wait for it to warm-up (requires approximately 600 seconds).

2. Attach the supplied zero filter.

3. The particle number concentration will become zero in approximately 10 seconds. Leave the zero
filter attached to the instrument for approximately 30 seconds in order to confirm that the zero
reading is stable.

4. Remove the zero filter, and the instrument will be ready for operation.

Caution

If the reading of the instrument does not become zero, please refer to

6. Trouble Shooting (page 32).

3.1.2 Keypad

3.1.3 Tilting the Instrument

The CPC is operated by using isopropyl alcohol which is absorbed into an alcohol cartridge.
If the instrument is tilted during operation, the alcohol will gradually seep out of the alcohol
cartridge. If this alcohol gets into the optical chamber, it may cause false particle counts and/or
damage to the optical system. This will temporary disable measurement, and in the worst case, it
will permanently affect the readings.
To avoid such problems, the CPC is equipped to generate an alarm, and stop the pump when the

instrument is tilted. In this case, a message 【PUMP STOP】 will be displayed. The alarm will go

off until the instrument is retuned to a horizontal position.
The pump will resume operation in 5 seconds after the instrument is returned to a horizontal
position. Then in approximately 10 seconds, the instrument will be ready for measurement.

Caution

Do not tilt the instrument up in a vertical position when observing the
display. If the instrument is tilted, there will be a beep sound, and the pump
will stop.
It is recommended that the instrument is placed on a substantially leveled
and stable surface.

4. Maintenance

The CPC must be maintained periodically in accordance with the following instructions.
However, for annual calibration and cleaning, the instrument must be returned to the distributor.
This periodical maintenance will facilitate the instrument to be kept in a good condition for accurate
measurement.

Danger

DO NOT OPEN the outer case of the instrument!



It is dangerous to open the outer case of the instrument as a Class 3B laser diode is
used inside the instrument.
Opening the instrument case will void the warranty.
For annual maintenance, or if any service that is not described in this operation
manual is required, please contact the distributor.

4.1 Daily Zero Check

The daily zero check is to ensure that; the interior of the optical system is clean, the cartridge is
installed properly, and there is no leakage.
For the method of performing the zero check, see 3.1.1 Daily Zero Check (page 11).

4.2 Alcohol Cartridge

The alcohol cartridge is equipped with an isopropyl alcohol reservoir.
The felt inside the cartridge absorbs and holds alcohol.
Since the alcohol cartridge will be inserted into the CPC, it must be kept clean. If dust or dirt gets
into the CPC, it may plug the internal nozzle and impair proper operation of the CPC. Full
attention must be given on storing and handling the alcohol cartridge and the storage cap to keep
them free from dust or dirt.

- Charging the Alcohol

The alcohol cartridge must be charged at least once a day (depending on frequency of use).
For how to charge the alcohol, see 2.2.2 Charging the Alcohol Cartridge (page 9).

 28


- Cleaning and Replacing the Felt

The felt and mesh inside the alcohol cartridge can be changed in the field.
The CPC is supplied with two sets of spare felts and meshes. Normally, the felt does not require
replacement unless any of the following conditions occur.

1. The “ALCOHOL ERR” message appears on the screen even when the CPC is used only for a
short period.
→ This may happen when the CPC is used in an environment with extremely high humidity

for a prolonged period, or when moisture has accumulated in the felt.

2. The felt is contaminated with dust, dirt or oil.

→ This should not happen when the CPC is used in normal ambient air , however, if the CPC

is used for sampling particles other than those normally found in ambient air (e.g., use in
boiler rooms, or sampling combustion aerosols), the felt may become contaminated and
require replacement.

3. The mesh inside the alcohol cartridge is plugged.

If moisture accumulates in the alcohol cartridge, the felt must be removed and dried, and then
reinstalled in the cartridge. When the alcohol felt and/or mesh is obviously contaminated, it
should be replaced.
Though some discoloration of the felt may be found, this is normal and will not influence the
performance of the CPC.

- How to Replace the Felt

1. Before removing the felt, dry the alcohol of the felt by placing the cartridge in a clean and low
humidity environment.

2. Remove the felt from the cartridge by holding the cartridge with both hands with your hands
near the seam of the cartridge, and apply pressure as to separate the cartridge. The cartridge
will separate into two pieces and you will see the white felt.

3. When separated into two, push the felt and mesh out of the cartridge cylinder from the
opening at the end by using the felt removal tool (small wooden stick), and replace them with
the supplied new felt and mesh.

4. Confirm that the felt and mesh are clean.

The felt may have some light brownish (or yellowish) discoloration. This is normal and will not

influence the performance of the instrument. If the discoloration of the felt is severe, discard
the felt and replace it with a new felt.
Hold the mesh up to the light and make sure that all holes of the mesh are clean. If any of the
holes are clogged, clean them by blowing air through the mesh. If the mesh cannot be cleaned
completely, it should be replaced with a new mesh.

1. 2.


 29


- Assembling the Cartridge

Before assembling, make sure that all parts are clean.

Caution

Insert a clean mesh into the cartridge cylinder and confirm that it lies flat on the bottom.
Then insert the felt into the cartridge cylinder until it hits the bottom.
Reassemble the cartridge in the reverse order of disassembling.
Blow air to the entire unit when finished.

If small debris or lint of the felt gets into the instrument, it may cause serious
problems.
Blow air onto the entire surface of the alcohol cartridge and felt to make sure
that they are free from dust and dirt.

4.3 Frequency of Maintenance

The CPC requires very little maintenance. However, maintenances as suggested below should be
performed to ensure proper operation. There are some items that are recommended to be
performed each time the CPC is used. Other items should be performed according to the
frequency of use.

Item Frequency
Daily zero check Daily (or before use if not used daily)
Charging the felt with alcohol Daily (or before use if not used daily)
Replacing the alcohol felt As required

(See chapter 6. “Troubleshooting”)
