2 Introduction

Overview This 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.

Description All 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.

248083408-1 Rev 1 2-1

Lighthouse REMOTE 2014P, 3014P, 5014P Operating Manual

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.

Accessories You can order several accessories to tailor the instrument to your needs.

Please contact your Lighthouse Sales Engineer for detailed additional information.

Annual Calibration

The manufacturer recommends that your Lighthouse instrument be calibrated annually by a Certified Lighthouse Service Provider to ensure that it continues to perform within specification.

When Calibration comes due, the Service LED will illuminate and stay ON during sampling mode until the instrument has been calibrated.

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.

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.

Definitions of Terms Used

This list is provided for the convenience of the user or technician.

• ARP - Address Resolution Protocol, a program that can change

the ARP Cache of a host by adding or removing IP addresses. Each IP address is associated to a MAC address.

• ARP Cache - List of IP addresses and their associated MAC

addresses for hosts whose addresses cannot be resolved normally.

• DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a program

running on a server that issues IP addresses to computers or devices (Hosts) on its LAN.

• Gateway - a network device that controls traffic between two or

more networks.

• Hardware address - a unique identifying code programmed by the

factory into a network device, such as a network PCB, comprised of six two-digit groups of letters A-F and numbers 0-9.

• Host - a computer or device that allows access to itself via a LAN.

• IP (Internet Protocol) Address - a unique logical address used to

identify a host on a TCP/IP network.

• LAN - Local Area Network, a group of computers or hosts

connected together in a relatively small geographical area, such as a building or floor of a building.

• MAC address - the same as hardware address.

• Netmask - a logical hexadecimal number that prevents accessing

hosts outside of its range. A bit value of zero allows access and a non-zero blocks access.

Configure 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.

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).

RS-232 Communications

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.

Configuring with REMOTE Display

Configuring with the MODBUS Protocol

Note: For the full

MODBUS register map, please refer to Appendix A.

The instrument can be completely configured using the optional REMOTE Display touchscreen interface.

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

40027 signed integer Real Time Clock (RTC) [high]. Works in

conjunction with 40028. Displays date and time, in number of seconds since midnight, 1/1/1970.

40028 signed integer Real 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

40035 unsigned integer Data Set [high]. Works in conjunction

with 40036. Data entered here is applied to the device through the command register.

40036 unsigned integer Data Set [low]

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).

248083408-1 Rev 1 4-7

Lighthouse REMOTE 2014P, 3014P, 5014P Operating Manual

The low word register for Sample Time is 40034.

The low word register for Hold Time is 40032.

The low word register for Initial Delay is 40030.

Running the Instrument

The REMOTE can be run in several different ways. The applicable action commands are discussed here:

Table 4-7 Action Commands

Value Actio n

1 Saves all writable 4xxxx register values to the

EEPROM.

3 Clears the Data Buffer. Record count is set to zero.

4 Saves the instrument parameters in the 40xxx registers

to the EEPROM. Parameters include Sample Time, Hold Time, Initial Delay, and Location.

5 Enable Remote Control. Locks out the instrument’s

user interface. Can only change instrument parameters via MODBUS.

6 Enable Local Control. Unlocks the instrument’s user

interface. Instrument changes can be made at the device itself or through MODBUS.

7 Turns local pump on.

8 Stop pump.

9 External Start Counter. The instrument samples

continuously until it receives an External Stop Counter command. Does not turn on the pump. Ignores local timing parameters.

10 External Stop Counter. Records counts since External

Start.

11 Instrument 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.

12 Instrument 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).

248083408-1 Rev 1 4-9

Lighthouse REMOTE 2014P, 3014P, 5014P Operating Manual

MANUAL Counting Mode

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.

7 Start Pump

9 Start 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:

8 Stop 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

Procedures

This Chapter provides the user with the procedures to perform in maintaining the REMOTE ’P’ instruments.

Safety Before performing any of the maintenance tasks described in this

chapter, review the safety warnings supplied throughout this manual.

Calibration To maintain optimum performance of this instrument, it should be

recalibrated annually by a Lighthouse Authorized Service Provider.

Cleaning This 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 Test 1. 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.

248083408-1 Rev 1 5-1

Lighthouse REMOTE 2014P, 3014P, 5014P Operating Manual

5. Configure the unit via the user interface to sample for 5 minutes

and set a 10 second hold.

6. Set Cycles to 10 so the instrument will take 10 five-minute

samples.

7. If an average of more than one count per five minute sample is

reported, reset the instrument to sample for 30 minutes again to purge it, then repeat the Purge Test again.

8. After the instrument has met the requirement of the Purge test,

return the instrument to its normal location and operating status.

If the instrument still fails the Purge Test, contact Lighthouse Tech Support for assistance.

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:

A-8 248083408-1 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

Bit Description

0 DATA ENABLE (0=disable; 1=enable)

1 ALARM 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 word and 43010 for the low word for particle channel 1.

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-10 248083408-1 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:

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.

Data is stored in the input registers (30xxx series), which are read-only. All data items are four bytes long and are stored across two registers. Byte and word order for particle data is big-endian. Thus, data items are formed by placing the high bytes in front of the low bytes.

Example:

Value

Analog data is little-endian. Thus, analog data items are formed by placing the low bytes in front of the high bytes.

Example:

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.

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.

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 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

Data Type Registers

Note: All data records

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.

0.3 Particle type of size 0.3 micron

1.0 Particle type of size 1.0 micron

20.0 Particle type of size 20.0 micron

.015 Particle 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.

B Zero 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.
