2 Introduction

Overview This operating guide describes how to use the Lighthouse

HANDHELD 2016, 3016 and 5016 Airborne Particle Counters.

The HANDHELD 2016 has up to six particle-size channels starting at

0.2 microns with a flow of 0.1 CFM and a touch screen interface. The HANDHELD 3016 has up to six particle-size channels starting at 0.3 microns and the HANDHELD 5016 has up to six channels starting at

0.5 microns. They are otherwise identical to the 2016 model. A microprocessor controls all instrument functions. Count data is displayed as cumulative or differential count.

The model number signifies the minimum particle size measured by the instrument. The number “2016” indicates a 0.2μm minimum channel size at 0.1 CFM with up to 6 channels. The number “3016” indicates a

0.3 μm minimum channel size at 0.1 CFM with up to 6 channels. The number “5016” represents a 0.5μm minimum channel size at 0.1 CFM with up to six channels.

The instrument uses a laser-diode light source and collection optics for particle detection. Particles scatter light from the laser diode. The collection optics collect and focus the light onto a photo diode that converts the bursts of light into electrical pulses. The pulse height is a measure of particle size. Pulses are counted and their amplitude is measured for particle sizing. Results are displayed as particle counts in the specified size channel.

• BEEP - In this mode, the instrument is pre-configured to beep according to the alarm threshold set in Alarm Configuration and the instrument’s sample time if the instrument is set to collect cumulative data. Counting starts one second after the START button is pressed and will continue until the STOP button is pressed.

If no channel is set for alarming and BEEP mode is selected, the smallest channel size will be automatically selected and its alarm threshold will be used to trigger the alarm.

If alarming is enabled on more than one channel size, only the smallest channel size will be used to trigger the alarm in BEEP mode. Larger channel sizes will be ignored.

The data will be recorded based on the set sample time and hold time and can be viewed in the View Buffer and on the printouts. There will be no indication on the record, however, that the data was saved while the instrument was in BEEP mode.

Geiger Counter Mode

While in BEEP mode the instrument can be set to beep 1 to 4 beeps per second depending on the number of particles the instrument has counted per second.

To set up the instrument for Geiger Counter Mode:

1. Enable BEEP Mode.

2. Set the smallest particle channel to 1.

In Geiger Counter Mode the instrument will beep from 1 beep up to 4 beeps per second if it counts from 1 particle up to 4 particles per second. The maximum beeps per second the instrument can emit are 4 per second even if the instrument counts 100 particles per second.

The value set in the smallest particle channel’s alarm is the trigger for a single beep per second. If the smallest particle channel is set to 2, the instrument will beep once every second for every 2 particles the instrument counts per second.

PARTICLE Display

Data on the instrument can be displayed in Differential (DIFF) or Cumulative (CUML) counts.

For example, the cumulative count for the 1μm channel is the sum of that channel’s count + 2.5μm count + the 5μm count.

The differential count for the 1μm channel is the number of particles between 1μm and 2.5μm.

The data displays on the MAIN screen according to whichever is selected (DIFF or CUML).

The data format is either Raw (RAW) or Normalized (NORM). Raw data displays the actual number of particles counted. Normalized data shows particle concentrations calculated from the raw data based on the settings chosen (ft

or m3).

Volume of Air = Sample time (minutes) x FlowRate (CFM)

Normalized Data = Number of Particles/Volume of Air

Report Requirements

Fed Std ft

This report requires a minimum of 2 locations be measured, at least 1 sample be taken per location and at least 5 samples total be taken in each cleanroom at a minimum sample volume of 0.1 cubic feet.

The 95% Upper Confidence Limit (UCL) will be calculated by the HANDHELD if the number of sampled locations is equal to or less than 9.

Air flow (Unidirectional vs. Non-unidirectional) will have an effect on the minimum locations and minimum samples required. In general, the Non-unidirectional option requires more of both locations and samples.

Note:

The EU GMP 2009 report is only valid if the instrument is configured with the 0.5 and 5.0 micron channel sizes.

For the Fed Std ft

report, the classification for a particle size is based on its samples taken from all locations in the cleanroom. Each particle size is given one of the following results:

• a classification rating which will be one of the possible classifications (1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000)

• “Unable to Classify” if it fails one of the above requirements

• an “Out of Range” if the calculated classification at that particle count exceeds 100,000

ISO 14644-1

The ISO14644-1 standard requires a minimum of 60 second Sample Time for each sample recorded.

EU GMP 2009

The EU GMP Standard Report requires that the unit has the channel sizes 0.5μ and 5.0μ as these are the only channels that apply to this standard.

The EU GMP Report has different concentration limits for cleanroom status “At Rest” versus “In Operation”. When the cleanroom is “In Operation”, Class D is not available. The standard is not defined for Class D in an operational cleanroom.

Power Shutdown Levels

Note: It is not

recommended to allow the battery to discharge completely.

When the HANDHELD is powered from its rechargeable battery, a Power Shutdown feature protects the battery from discharging completely. A complete discharge could damage the battery.

The battery levels are displayed in Table 4-2.

Empty; at this level, the instrument will begin to beep and will display “BATT LOW!” on the main screen. It is recommended to connect the AC cord and plug it into an outlet at this level.

Pump Shutdown; if the instrument is currently on and sampling the pump will turn off and the instrument will shut down.

After the pump shutdown level and before the battery reaches its critical low point, the instrument will shut down all power. To prevent loss of power, attach the AC cord and plug into an outlet as soon as the BATT LOW! message appears on the screen.

In order to review

Basic Requirements

Besides printing reports, the Report Setup screen can be used to display each report’s minimum requirements - such as how many data records are required and from how many different locations data must be recorded to meet a given class for a given cleanroom area.

Once the user knows these requirements, the user can configure the HANDHELD so that the data collected will fulfill the report’s requirements.

For each report type, as the user changes the Room Area, the Class Level, and sometimes the Air Flow or the Room Status, the values for the Minimum Locations, Minimum Samples and Minimum Volume may change and will be calculated for the requirements for each report type.

These values are indicated on the screen so that the user can configure the instrument appropriately to ensure the samples recorded meet the requirements for the report selected.

Each of the reports have some basic requirements that, if not met, cause the report to FAIL classifying the cleanroom immediately.

Fed Std 209E (feet)

This report requires a minimum of 2 locations measured.

At least 1 sample per location must be taken.

At least 5 samples in total must be taken in the cleanroom.

The minimum sample volume must be at least 0.1 cubic feet.

The 95% Upper Confidence Limit (UCL) must be calculated if the number of sampled locations is less than or equal to 9.

248083400-1 Rev 7

5-1

Lighthouse HANDHELD 2016, 3016, 5016 Gen F Operating Manual

For the Fed Std 209E (ft) report, the classification for a particle size is based on its samples taken from all locations in the cleanroom. Each particle size is given one of the following results:

• A classification rating which will be one of the possible classifications (1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000).

• “Unable to Classify” if it fails one of the above requirements.

• An “Out of Range” if the calculated classification at that particle count exceeds 100,000.

ISO 14644-1

The minimum number of locations is 1.

At least 1 sample must be taken per location.

At least 3 samples, total, must be taken in the cleanroom. The user can take a different number of samples at different locations.

The minimum sample volume is 2 liters.

This report has a minimum Sample Time of 1 minute. If the Sample Time is less than that, the entire room would fail the classification.

The 95% Upper Confidence Limit (UCL) must be calculated if the number of sampled locations is less than or equal to 9.

EU GMP 2009

The EU GMP 2009 only applies to 2 channel sizes: 0.5μ and 5.0μ.

There are only 4 Classes: A, B, C, D, and 2 cleanroom states: At Rest and Operational.

Class D is not applicable when the cleanroom is Operational.

If one of these channel sizes is not present, the report cannot classify the room.

The standard does not define a minimum number of sample locations or a minimum number of samples. In order to take a measurement, at least 1 location and 1 sample are required by the counter.

The standard does not require a minimum sample volume. The volume of air must be shown in liters (L).

248083400-1 Rev 7

Setting up the Counter

The classification for a particle size is determined based on the mean of all average concentrations taken from all locations in the cleanroom. If the mean exceeds all limits, then the classification is “Out of Range”.

The counter will only print channels 0.5 and 5.0 in this report. If either channel is not available on the HANDHELD, then this report will not be valid.
