WARNING
¤ Do not use this instrument in an ambient temperature of 35 °C or greater.
…… The performance may deteriorate significantly.
Also, dielectric degradation may occur, which may result in short circuit or fire.
¤ Unplug the power cord when the instrument is not in use.
…… Failure to observe the above may result in electric shock, fire or damage to internal
circuitry.
¤ Install the instrument where you can pull the power cord out anytime.
¤ When using the power cord, ensure there is no dust on the power plug. The AC
outlet used must be within the specified power requirement of 100 ~ 240V.
…… Failure to observe the above may result in fire.
¤ When using a power cord or an AC adapter, make sure to use the one provided
with this instrument.
…… Other commercially available cords may have different voltage specifications and
polarity, which could result in short circuit, fire or damage to the instrument.
¤ When charging the batteries by the instrument, do not insert or pull the batteries
out.
…… Failure to observe this may result in damage to battery or internal circuitry.
CAUTION
¤ Remove battery when the instrument will not be used for an extended period of
time.
Also, do not leave a discharged battery inside the instrument.
…… Failure to observe the above may result in battery leakage and damage to the
instrument.
¤ Do not perform measurements in environments exceeding or falling below the
specified temperature and RH levels of the instrument.
The instrument should not be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
…… The instrument may not function properly outside the specified environment.
(10~35°C, 20~85%RH, with no condensation)
¤ Do not wipe the instrument with volatile solvents.
…… The body may be deformed or deteriorated. Use a soft dry cloth to remove stains.
If stains persist, soak the cloth in a neutral detergent or water and wipe the
instrument with the cloth. Never use volatile solvents such as thinner or benzene.
¤ Do not subject the instrument to strong shock. Do not place heavy objects on the
instrument or sensor.
…… Failure to observe the above may cause damage to the instrument.
¤ Do not move the main unit or the probe from a cold place to a warm place
quickly. It will cause condensation.
…… Even when used in an environment within the specified operating temperature and
humidity, a sudden temperature change may cause condensation. Condensation
generated on the sensor may cause inaccurate measurements. Condensation on metal
parts may cause rusting and lead to a malfunction.

1.1 General Outline
This Airborne Particle Counter is a light scattering laser particle counter using semiconductor
laser radiation as a light source. This counter is used to detect ultrafine airborne particles in a
cleanroom or other environment equivalent to a cleanroom. Mainly this counter is used as a
monitoring measurement equipment to monitor the cleanliness in a cleanroom.
By using option sensors, air velocity, temperature, humidity and differential pressure can be
measured simultaneously.
Each measurement value is displayed on the LCD screen and can be stored in the internal
memory of the instrument and be printed out by the internal printer. As for the power supply,
either an AC adapter (100-240V) or batteries can be used.

2.2 Zero Check
If the internal optical system is dirty, you may not be able to perform an accurate
measurement.
To confirm the cleanliness of the internal optical system, perform a Zero Check
before measuring.
Remove the rubber cap that is mounted on the inlet on the upper
side of the main unit.
Next, attach the zero filter to the inlet using the supplied Tygon
tube.
The length of the tube is not critical. However, make sure that the
tube is not bent. (Approx. 60cm)
Follow the above procedure in order to prevent particles
from entering the instrument.
Perform a measurement for one minute and then conduct a
Zero Check.
(Refer to 3.4 Monitor for the operation procedure.)
Perform a Zero Check at least once a day.
It is recommended a Zero Check be done before and after each measurement.
If the count value is not zero, keep the zero filter attached to the inlet and tap [MONITOR] until the
count reads zero.
2.3 Isokinetic Suction Probe
Use the Isokinetic Suction Probe to ensure the sampling air
velocity is equivalent to the operating environment air velocity.
This allows you to perform a measurement without significantly
disturbing the normal air flow.
Attach the Isokinetic Suction Probe to the standard inlet by
using the provided Tygon tube.
When using the Tygon tube, cut the tube to the most
suitable length for your measurement requirements.
(We recommend the Tygon tube not be extended more than 1.5 meters)

2.5 User Authentication
This instrument allows you to configure an authentication using a user ID and a password for
security purposes.
When the User Authentication function is activated, the user authentication is required for logging
in at start-up and for changing settings. This function also allows for limiting possible activities for
each user.
There are some operating procedures that are only effective or necessary when the User
Authentication function is enabled, which are marked in this manual.
Setting a user authentication can be done from the Security Setting display.
Please refer to 3.8.3 Other – Security Setting.

field and tap [OK] button.
Press [Shut Down] button to turn off
the instrument.
[CAPS] button: To type upper case letters
[SWITCH] button: Jump to next field
[CLR] button: Clear input
[BS] button: Back space, delete the preceding character
ATTENTION!
If a user fails to enter a correct password 10 times, that user ID will become temporarily invalid; the
user ID cannot be used to login for 24 hours.
*A built-in user [administrator] is set in this instrument.
On the first log-in, [administrator] shall be displayed as a user ID. The initial password of the [administrator] is "1234".
For security reasons, please change the password as soon as possible.
If multiple users are registered, the field of user ID on the log-in screen will be blank; type your user ID from the keyboard
screen.
3.2.2 User
When the User Authentication function is activated, measurement data and operation details are
recorded in this instrument together with the logged-in user's ID. It is also possible to limit the
range of functions to be performed by each user.
Settings of User information are conducted on the User Setting display (Refer to 3.8.3 Other - User
Management).
User information consists of User name, User ID, Password, and Qualification.
User name: a user name with up to 40 characters
User ID: a user ID with up to 16 characters.
Password: The instrument recognizes users with the combination of user ID and
Password. Passwords need to be 4 to 16 alphanumeric characters.
Passwords expire every 180 days, after which the user ID will be invalid until
a new password is set.
Qualification: When the User Authentication function is activated, restrictions on certain
functions/operations can be set for each user by the administrator.
Page 16
3. Display Description and Operation Procedure
9
Authorization to use specific functions will be assigned to each user by the
administrator.
For example, if a user has no authorization for the [Copy File] operation,
he/she can view the contents of data files on the [FILE] screen, but cannot
copy data files to USB flash drive.
If the current logged in user does not have the authorization to carry out a
certain operation, the button for that operation is deactivated. Even if a user
has the authorization, the user will need to enter his/her user name and
password every time before initiating an action that requires the
authorization.
The administrator can reset passwords for any users in case of a lost or forgotten password (Refer
to 3.8.3. Other - User Management).
If the administrator forgets his/her password when the User Authentication function is activated,
nobody can operate the instrument. Therefore, registering multiple administrator users on the
instrument is strongly recommended.
3.2.3 Authentication Screen
Certain operations and settings require
user authentication.
In the Authentication screen, the
current logged in user ID is displayed.
Enter the password to authenticate.
ATTENTION!
If a user fails to entry his/her password 10 times, the user ID will become temporarily invalid; the
user ID cannot be used for 24 hours.
3.2.4 Operation Log
When the User Authentication function is activated, the instrument saves a history of operations,
error messages, and alarms in the log file.
The operation log stores the time, User ID, operation detail, result, and parameter of the
occurrence. (Please refer 3.8.3 Other for details on the operation log.)
A user can review logs on the [Log Maintenance] screen. (To review logs, the user needs to have
the authorization to review logs).
