OverviewThis operating manual introduces you to the Lighthouse REMOTE
2014P, 3014P or 5014P family of Airborne Particle Counters. Included
in this manual are instructions for inspecting, using and maintaining the
instrument.
DescriptionAll members of the ’P’ family of instruments have up to six particle
channel sizes and a flow rate of 0.1CFM. The model name denotes the
starting particle size (sensitivity). The 2014P sensitivity is 0.2 microns,
the 3014P sensitivity is 0.3 microns and the 5014P sensitivity is 0.5
microns.
Figure 2-1 REMOTE 3014P Airborne Particle Counter
The instrument uses a laser diode light source and laser beam shaping
optics to illuminate a cross section of the air flow path with a laser
beam. As particles move along the flow path, they cross the laser beam
and scatter light. The light scattered is collected by an imaging optical
system onto a photodiode. The photodiode converts this light into a
current which is converted to a voltage and amplified.
The resulting pulse is measured for width and height. The width of the
pulse is proportional to the time it takes the particle to cross the laser
beam. The height or amplitude of the pulse is equal to the amount of
light scattered by each particle and is proportional to its size.
These pulses are processed by additional electronics that analyze their
height to determine the size of the corresponding particle. This allows
counting of the particles and grouping based on their size.
The REMOTE 2014, 3014P and 5014P are effective in both ultra-clean
areas (such as Class 1 or Class 10) and also in more traditional
cleanzones rated as Class 100 or higher. They were designed for
continuous 24/7 operation. Data is stored in a rotating buffer of 3000
records that can be downloaded real-time or manually as required.
Using an internal pump, the instrument can be installed where space is
limited. The REMOTE 2014P, 3014P or 5014P integrate seamlessly
into large facility monitoring/management systems and transfer up to 6
channels of simultaneous particle count data using RS-485/MODBUS
output. Refer to Specifications in this chapter for additional instrument
information.
The manufacturer recommends that your Lighthouse instrument be
calibrated annually by a Certified Lighthouse Service Provider to
ensure it continues to perform within specification.
AccessoriesYou can order several accessories to tailor the instrument to your needs.
Please contact your Lighthouse Sales Engineer for detailed additional
information.

The RS-485 port is a dual purpose connection. It is a hybrid of the
MODBUS over Serial standard incorporating both short distance single
instrument RS-232 and long distance multi-point RS-485.
The RS-232 protocol is provided for quick simple cable connections
from a single unit to a standard PC COM port.
The RS-485 MODBUS protocol is provided for industrial applications
with multiple devices on the same bus. The RS-485 IN connector
allows for easy connections using standard CAT 5 cable commonly
used for office LANs. Attaching the instrument to an RS485 network
requires special attention to topology (wiring scheme of network)
before and after the design phase to make sure the REMOTE and other
instruments perform as expected.

Using the USB Port to connect to a PC
Note: Make sure the
USB driver has been
installed on the PC before
connecting and applying
power to the instrument.
To connect the instrument to a computer using the USB port, make sure
that the driver has been installed first. Connecting the instrument to the
PC and applying power before the driver has been installed will be
problematic. Refer to the following:
1. Remove power from the instrument.
2. Connect Side B of a standard “A to B” USB cable (See Figure 3-5)
to the instrument (only Side B will fit).
Figure 3-5 “A to B” USB Cable
3. Connect Side A to any available USB port on the PC.
4. Apply power to the instrument.
5. Windows will recognize that a new hardware device has been
attached and will finalize the installation as needed. This is a
routine “registering” of components that should take only a
moment. An additional COM port will be added to the PC.
6. Identify the computer port that has been added to the PC by using
the “Properties” of My Computer and examining the COM ports.
USB ports are generally added to the bottom of the list and named
USB COM port ’x’. Refer to Figure 3-6 for screen examples
(Windows XP).

Unpacking, Inspecting and Installing
The Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions REMOTE P instruments
incorporate MODBUS TCP/IP communication over Ethernet.
Connecting a REMOTE P particle counter directly to an Ethernet
network should only be done with the permission and guidance of the
network administrator.
The primary advantage of using the REMOTE P on an Ethernet
network is that a separate network does not have to be installed just for
the instruments. Using the Ethernet Port allows the instruments to coexist with computers, printers and servers on a LAN that is already in
place, thereby reducing installation costs.
This document will explain how to program the Network Adapter
through its TCP/IP or its RS232 interface. It will also list typical
equipment required and provide some troubleshooting information.
The end of the document includes examples of T568A and T568B
wiring diagrams for straight-through and cross-over cables.

Device
Ethernet Port Configuration
This section is organized based on the cable used to perform the
REMOTE programming.
Straight-through Cat5 requires a hub or switch and two straight-through
Cat5 cables. Cross-over Cat5 connects the PC directly to the REMOTE
P with no hub. Each will be explained separately. If troubleshooting is
required, the cross-over cable technique is easier to use in the field
because it requires fewer devices.
It cannot be stressed enough, however, that the instrument and PC be
configured using the same IP scheme (IP range, Default Gateway and
Netmask).
For troubleshooting outside of the LAN, it is suggested that the PC’s IP
address be used as the Default Gateway for both the PC and the
REMOTE P.
Frequently, it is necessary to change the instrument’s Ethernet
parameters to allow for easier troubleshooting. When this is needed,
make sure the instrument is reprogrammed to its previous network
settings before reattaching to the LAN. Contact Lighthouse Technical
Support or the network administrator for additional information.
Note: Screens shown
are examples only. Data
displayed and command
responses may differ.
Straight-through Cat5 Setup:
This section requires the PC, two straight-through Cat5 cables and the
hub or switch.
1.Connect one end of a straight-through Cat5 cable to the
REMOTE’s Ethernet Port.
2. The other end of the Cat5 cable should plug into one port on the
hub or switch.
3.Attach another straight-through cable to the PC’s RJ45 receptacle
and an open port on the hub or switch.
4. Proceed to “Windows Telnet Programming:” on page 3-14.
Cross-over Cat5 Setup:
1.Attach one end of the cross-over cable to the RJ45 receptacle on
the PC.
2.Attach the other end of the cable to the REMOTE P Ethernet Port.
3.Apply power to the REMOTE. Apply power to the PC if it is not
already running. Observe the LEDs on the hub/switch RJ45
connector - blinking indicates network activity. Observe the
network LEDs on the instrument’s RJ45 receptacle - they should
blink indicating activity. Proceed to next section.

Contact Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions Technical Support for
additional information or further assistance.
DataThe REMOTE 2014P, 3014P or 5014P stores its data in a 3000-record
rotating data buffer.
The data can be downloaded real-time to LMS Express RT or to a
Lighthouse Monitoring System; the instrument can run standalone until
you decide to view the data. The data can then be downloaded to LMS
Express or LMS XChange manually.
A real-time system will allow you to monitor the instrument counts on
a minute-by-minute basis or for the length of the sample time.
Downloading the data to LMS Express Real Time allows historical
trending of the data.
Use the optional REMOTE Display to view the data as it is being
collected.
With any of the data download transfer software, you can save the data
to Excel, to a CSV file or to an HTML file.
Please refer to the respective data transfer software manuals for more
information.
The REMOTE 2014P, 3014P or 5014P can be programmed using the

Communications Mode
In order to communicate with the instrument using the MODBUS
protocol, DIP switch 8 must be set to OFF.
REMOTE Display Mode
In order to use the REMOTE Display option, DIP switch 7 must be set
to ON and the Display must be connected to the instrument before it is
powered on.
If DIP switch 7 is ON but the REMOTE Display is not connected when
the instrument is powered on, the unit will not start. If the Display is
not needed, power the instrument OFF, change DIP switch 7 to OFF,
then power the instrument ON. Otherwise, power the instrument OFF,
connect the REMOTE Display then power the instrument ON.

A standard Cat5 cable is used to connect the instrument to an RS485
network.
RS-485 Communications
The instrument can use RS485 MODBUS as one of its communication
modes. Attaching the instrument to an RS485 network requires special
attention to topology (wiring scheme of network) before and after the
design phase to make sure the REMOTE P and other instruments
perform as expected.
The REMOTE P does not support a daisy-chain configuration and must
be used in a "star" or hub-based configuration on the network. If the
topology is unknown or the user is unsure how it should be installed,
please contact Lighthouse before installation.
WARNING: If using
the REMOTE P RS-485
port, DO NOT connect
the cable to a system
Ethernet port.
A standard Cat5/Cat6 cable is used to connect the instrument to an
RS485 network. The pinouts are shown inTable 4-3.
In order to use the RS-485 MODBUS protocol, ensure that DIP Switch
8 is set to 0 (OFF).
The instrument can use RS232 as a communication mode by using the
optional USB to RS232 Converter cable. The cable is connected to the
RJ-45 Port on the Remote and to any USB port on a PC.
Windows will detect that a new hardware device has been attached and
will finalize the installation as needed. This is a routine “registering” of
components that should only take a moment. An additional COM port
will be added to the PC.

DIP Switch 7 must be ON before connecting the Display and powering
on the instrument.
Please consult the REMOTE Display Operating Manual, LWS PN
248083285-1, for detailed information.
Alternatively, the instrument can be configured using the MODBUS
protocol.
When you power up the instrument, the pump will automatically turn
on after 5 seconds, and it will begin sampling using the default
configuration:
•Location = 0
•Sample Time = 60 seconds
•Hold Time = 0 seconds
•Initial Delay = 0 seconds
Note: The automatic
starting of the sampling
accommodates systems
that do not send a START
command, but just polls
the instrument for its data.

To stop the pump and the sampling, send the command 12 to command
register 40002.
Programming
Setting the Real Time Clock
The Real Time Clock (RTC) can be read in registers 40027 and 40028:
Table 4-4 Real Time Clock Registers
RegisterData TypeDescription
40027signed integerReal Time Clock (RTC) [high]. Works in
conjunction with 40028. Displays date and
time, in number of seconds since
midnight, 1/1/1970.
40028signed integerReal Time Clock [low]
In order to change the RTC to the current local date/time, enter the high
and low values as unsigned integers to registers 40035 and 40036
respectively, which are the Data Set registers.
Table 4-5 Data Set Registers
RegisterData TypeDescription
40035unsigned integerData Set [high]. Works in conjunction
with 40036. Data entered here is applied
to the device through the command
register.

Then write the command 13 to the command register 40002. This will
write the values in the Data Set registers (40035 and 40036) to the RTC
registers (40027 and 40028).
Changing the Default Instrument Parameters
The main instrument parameters involved with the operation of the
REMOTE counter are Location, Sample Time, Hold Time and Initial
Delay.
The Location is set by writing an unsigned integer to register 40026.
The range of values is from 0 to 999.
Sample Time, Hold Time and Initial Delay all use 2 registers, a high
word and a low word. If the desired value for any of these parameters
is less than 9 hours 6 minutes 8 seconds, then only the low word
register needs to be written (in seconds).

Running the
Instrument
The REMOTE can be run in several different ways. The applicable
action commands are discussed here:
Table 4-7 Action Commands
ValueActio n
1Saves all writable 4xxxx register values to the
EEPROM.
3Clears the Data Buffer. Record count is set to zero.
4Saves the instrument parameters in the 40xxx registers
to the EEPROM. Parameters include Sample Time,
Hold Time, Initial Delay, and Location.
5Enable Remote Control. Locks out the instrument’s
user interface. Can only change instrument
parameters via MODBUS.
6Enable Local Control. Unlocks the instrument’s user
interface. Instrument changes can be made at the
device itself or through MODBUS.
7Turns local pump on.
8Stop pump.
9External Start Counter. The instrument samples
continuously until it receives an External Stop Counter
command. Does not turn on the pump. Ignores local
timing parameters.
10External Stop Counter. Records counts since External
Start.
11Instrument Start. Uses defined Initial Delay, Hold
Time, Sample Interval and counting mode. Instrument
executes samples and holds until an Instrument Stop
command is issued. This command will start the
pump.
12Instrument Stop. Aborts current sample. Stops pump.
Stops data collection.
There are 2 basic modes of operation: Manual counting and Automatic
counting. Write each of the described action commands to the
command register (40002).
In Manual counting mode, the sample time is based on when the
counter is instructed to stop counting. At that point, a data record is
recorded and the sample time is the interval between the command to
start counting and the command to stop counting.
7Start Pump
9Start Manual Count
10 Stop Manual Count; writes a data record, uses the time interval as
the sample time
The “hold” time is effectively the time between a STOP and a START
command.
After the last desired sample is taken, send the following to stop the
pump:
8Stop Pump
AUTOMATIC Counting Mode
In Automatic counting mode, the instrument uses the configured
sample time, hold time, initial sample delay to record samples.
The instrument will continue running samples until it receives a stop
command. When the stop command is given, since the device will not
have completed a complete sample cycle, the most current data will not
record to the buffer.
After setting all the instrument parameters, run these commands:
11 Start Instrument; to start recording
12 Stop Instrument; to stop recording

Maintenance Procedures
5Maintenance
Procedures
This Chapter provides the user with the procedures to perform in
maintaining the REMOTE ’P’ instruments.
SafetyBefore performing any of the maintenance tasks described in this
chapter, review the safety warnings supplied throughout this manual.
CalibrationTo maintain optimum performance of this instrument, it should be
recalibrated annually by a Lighthouse Authorized Service Provider.
CleaningThis procedure may be superceded by customer requirements;
however, not under any circumstances apply Acetone to the REMOTE
’P’ instrument.
1.To keep the interior of the laser sensor clean, remove the
isokinetic probe from the air inlet and install the protective plastic
cap supplied with the instrument.
2.Moisten a lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol. The cloth should
be moist, not wet.
3. Wipe down the exterior surfaces of the instrument.
Purge Test1.Connect the Purge filter to the sample inlet. The purge filter
should be a 0.1 micron, 0.1 CFM filter.
2.Apply power to the instrument.
3.Configure the unit via the user interface to sample for 30 minutes.
4.Allow the instrument to sample through a 30 minute period. This
time allows the unit to warm up and purge any residual particles
that might be inside it.
Instrument settings are stored in holding registers (the 4xxxx series),
which are mostly read/writable. Not all holding registers are writable.
Table A-3 describes the content of these registers.

Data and Alarm Enable Registers
The Data and Alarm Enable input registers (43xxx series) are read/
write. All enable data items are 4 bytes long and are stored across 2
registers. Byte and word ordering is big-endian. Thus, data items are
formed by placing the high bytes in front of the low bytes. For
example:
<High Bytes><Low Bytes> = <4 Byte Data Item>
A-8248083408-1 Rev 1
MODBUS Register Map v1.48
The 43xxx register series is used to determine which particle data
channel is ENABLED and which are set to ALARM ENABLE. These
registers supersede the older Data Enable Registers (31xxx) which
have been obsoleted.
Table A-8 Enable/Disable Bits
BitDescription
0DATA ENABLE (0=disable; 1=enable)
1ALARM ENABLE (0=disable; 1=enable)
These registers run in parallel with the data registers (30xxx series).
For example, data register 30010’s enable register would be 43010.
Data register 30016’s enable register would be 43016.
Note: Alarm Enable
currently only works for
Particle Channels.
The user can enable multiple particle channels for alarming at the same
time.
Particle data registers for the Enable setting start at 43009 for the high

Enable Alarming for a Channel
To enable alarming on the third particle channel, the user would enable
Bit 1 for register 43014.
To disable alarming on the third channel and enable alarming on the
second channel, disable Bit 1 for register 43014 and enable Bit 1 for
register 43012.
To disable alarming completely, disable Bit 1 for register 43012. Now,
no channels are enabled for alarms.

Use the Threshold registers to set the alarm threshold value. This is
described in the next section.
A-10248083408-1 Rev 1
MODBUS Register Map v1.48
Threshold Setup Registers
Threshold data is stored in the input registers in the 45xxx series which
are read/write. All threshold data items are 4 bytes long and are stored
across 2 registers. Byte and word ordering is big-endian. Thus, data
items are formed by placing the high bytes in front of the low bytes.
For example:
<High Bytes><Low Bytes> = <4 Byte Data Item>
For particle channels, the threshold value is a 32-bit unsigned integer.
If the data value exceeds the threshold value and the alarm is enabled
for that channel, the threshold flag in the Data Status register (3000730008, bit 4) is set.
Note: The table below
shows the registers for an
8 channel particle counter.
Counters with less
channels do not use the
extra registers. The
smallest particle channel
starts at the xxx09 position.
The threshold registers (45xxx series) run in parallel with the data
registers (30xxx series). For example, data register 30010’s
corresponding threshold register would be 45010. Data register 30016’s
threshold register would be 45016.

Not all particle and analog channels are necessarily active. Retrieving
data from an inactive channel returns garbage. See the Data Enable
Registers section of this document for details on how to record data
from active channels.
This entire series of registers represents one data record in the device.
The Record Index Register (40025) must be changed to index other
records here.
A-12248083408-1 Rev 1
MODBUS Register Map v1.48
The first record in the data buffer is located at Index=0. The most
recently saved value is at Index=-1.

(bit 0 = channel 1 ...)
Note: Particle data is
always a cumulative raw
count regardless of the
instrument’s settings.
Note: Although
MODBUS sends 4 bytes of
status information,
Lighthouse instruments
only use the first (least
significant) byte.
30076unsigned intAlarm Flags - Particle Channels
The timestamp field indicates when the data record was recorded.
Timestamps are stored as the number of seconds since 1/1/1970, the
Unix time epoch. This value can be written directly into a C/C++
time_t data type to be used by ANSI C time functions.
Device Status Word (30007 - 30008)
The registers used for the Device Status Word are 30007 and 30008.
The bit order of the Device Status Word is 7 to 0 (right to left), where
bit 7 is the most significant bit and bit 0 is the least significant bit.
The bits within the Device Status Word are flagged to indicate
particular conditions of the currently indexed data record.
A-14248083408-1 Rev 1
MODBUS Register Map v1.48
If multiple states occur, the bits are added together. For example, a
Flow Alert and a Particle Overflow would return a value of 6 in register
30008 (bits 1 and 2 are set TRUE).
Table A-14 Device Status Word
BitDescription
0Laser Alert Status
0 = Laser is OK 1 = Laser Alert
1Flow Alert Status
0 = Flow Rate is OK 1 = Flow Rate Alert
2Particle Overflow Status
0 = No overflow 1 = Overflow occurred
3Instrument Service Status
0 = Working correctly 1 = Instrument malfunction detected.
4Threshold High Status
0 = Threshold not exceeded 1 = Threshold exceeded
5Threshold Low Status
0 = Threshold not exceeded 1 = Threshold exceeded
6Instrument Sampler Status
0 = Nominal Operation 1 = Sampler Error
Bits 7 to 31 are currently unused.
Valid Data in Channels (30073 - 30076)
Register 30073 represents the flag bits corresponding to valid data
present in the analog register range. The mapping is such that bit 0 set
to TRUE (=1) would correspond to valid data present in Analog
Channel 1.
Register 30074 represents the flag bits corresponding to valid data
present in the particle register range.
Register 30075 represents the flag bits corresponding to analog
channels that have exceeded the threshold [Threshold High Registers
(45xxx series)] based on alarm mode.
Register 30076 represents the flag bits corresponding to particle
channels that have exceeded the threshold [Threshold High Registers
(45xxx series)] based on alarm mode
have the same data types
assigned to them. The
user does not have to read
the data type registers for
every record.
The 41xxx register series is used to identify the type of data items in the
30xxx series. The Data Type registers run in parallel with the Data
Registers. For example, Data Register 30041’s Data Type register is
41041.
Data Types are assigned 4 ASCII characters across 2 registers. If a
Data Type string contains less than 4 characters, then the rest of the
string is padded with NULL characters. Note that a Data Type using all
four characters will not end with a NULL character.

Note: Only Particle data
types have numbers in
their strings.
Particle data items are typed specially. They contain numbers,
sometimes a space and sometimes a period used as a decimal point.
These entries are used to identify particle channel sizes and are always
expressed in microns. These types represent raw counts only.
Table A-16 Examples of Particle Data Items
StringDescription
0.3Particle type of size 0.3 micron
1.0Particle type of size 1.0 micron
20.0Particle type of size 20.0 micron
.015Particle type of size 0.015 micron or 15 nanometer
Data Units Registers
The 42xxx register series identifies the units used by data items in the
30xxx series. These registers run in parallel with the Data Registers.
For example, Data Register 30010’s Units Register is 42010.
Note: Not all data types
have units. LWS Particle
Counters may use units
not on the table.
Units are stored as 4 character ASCII strings across 2 registers. If the
Units string contains less than 4 characters or no characters at all, the
rest of the string is padded with NULLs.
The table below shows units that may be sent by the device. Some of
these units are not currently used but are reserved for future use.
NOTE: This register bank is obsolete and is maintained for backward
compatibility.

BZero Count Test
Zero Count Test
How to Run
the Test
This is the Zero Count Test procedure. A Purge (Zero Count) Filter
must be attached to the instrument and 6 five-minute samples must be
taken. There should be no more than 1 count, average, per five-minute
sample. The purge filter should be a 0.1 micron filter at 0.1 CFM.
1.Connect the instrument to the monitoring system.
2.Attach the Purge Filter to the sample inlet.
3.Apply power to the instrument.
4.Allow the instrument to sample through a 30 minute period. This
time allows the unit to warm up and purge any residual particles
that might be inside it.
5.Configure the unit to sample for 5 minutes.
6.Allow the instrument to sample 6 five-minute periods.
7.If the average count for the total of the six sample periods is NOT
less than one per five minute period or if more than one count
occurs in ANY five-minute sample period, allow the instrument
to sample for an additional 30 minutes to purge it and repeat the
test.
8.If the instrument still fails the Zero Count Test, call Lighthouse
Technical Support for assistance.
After the instrument meets the requirements of the Zero Count test, turn
it off, remove the Purge Filter and return the instrument to its normal
location and operating status.
