INTRODUCTION
THE PRODUCT
The APM is an infrared optical detector, for use in hazardous industrial
applications, which monitors ambient air for the presence of particulate matter
from products of combustion such as carbon, smoke or ash.
The Millennium Controller is an environmentally protected electronic package
contained within an explosion-proof housing. The scrolling 8-character display
and status LEDs provide instructions and status alerts.
The APM is mounted where airborne particles are anticipated to accumulate
while the Millennium Controller can be located conveniently at eye level.
THE MANUAL
The manual has been designed to make installation of the Millennium product
easy. To ensure proper installation, follow the simple steps outlined in the
following pages. If you encounter problems during operation, consult the
troubleshooting section or contact your sales representative.

STEP 1 — PLAN
LOCATE CONTROLLER/APM
Prior to the installation process, a location plan for placing the Controller and
APM should be developed. Proper location of the APM is essential for
providing maximum protection. The most effective placement and number of
detectors varies depending upon conditions.The following points should be
considered when planning the installation.
• Carefully locate the APM in an area where particulate may potentially
accumulate.
• The APM should be located where it is safe from potential sources of
contamination such as oil film, dirt, etc.
• Locate the Controller where it will be accessible and visible.
• Face the Collector Cone of the APM chamber downward so as to trap
particulate rising by convection.
• If the particulate is expected to be moving horizontally, due to air currents,
orient the Collector Cone for maximum detection.
• Exposure to excessive heat or vibration can cause premature failure of
electronic devices and should be avoided whenever possible.
• Seek advice from experts and refer to various regulatory publications that
discuss general guidelines for your industry.

most likely to accumulate. Conduit then connects the two devices. See
"Wiring—APM and Controller" on page 7 for detailed wiring instructions.
Open-Path
An optional "Open Path" unit (does not have a baffle/collector cone) is
available. The Open Path APM design is intended for installations with strong
air flows. Mount the Open Path APM so that air current allows particulate
matter to flow into the sensor.
When installing, ensure no light source is directed at the internal sensor.

STEP 2 — INSTALL
UNPACK
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check components
against the enclosed packing list and inspect all components for obvious
damage such as broken or loose parts.
If you find any components missing or damaged, notify the distributor or Net
Safety Monitoring immediately.
