About this Manual
Overview
Parker Hannifin’s icountOS is a laser particle oil sampler.
This mineral or aviation fuel based fluid contamination detector is designed for use in adverse
conditions and is housed in an HPX® High Performance Resin case. With its Vortex® valve allowing
pressure release without letting in water and its soft handle, icountOS has been designed with
customers in mind, offering durability, functionality and future customisation options.
The unit has two hydraulic connections that allow the fluid to be transferred through the unit
for analysis. The icountOS (IOS1220) is supplied with low pressure hoses (ACC6NN031) and a
Pressure Reducing Valve (ACC6NN027). The High pressure hose (ACC6NN034) is also available
when connecting a PRV to your system.
The electrical supply is made via an M12 Round IP67-approved connector and the communications
is made via an RJ45 IP68-approved connector. The unit is rated IP54 (unit open) and IP67 (unit
closed).

Safety information
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Some operations require special attention to safety, such as the use of
safety glasses. Contact your local Parker Hannifin sales office if you have any
concerns.
SERVICE/REPAIR
Any servicing or repair work must be carried out by a Parker-approved
service centre. Contact your local Parker Hannifin sales office for recalibration
services.
WARNING
A red band around a picture or instruction is used to emphasize that
particular care is required to avoid the danger of personal injury or other
hazard.
CAUTION
A yellow band around a picture or instruction is used to emphasize that
particular care is required in carrying out the instruction. Examples are
checking that plugs are ‘keyed’ (i.e. correctly polarized) before they are fully
inserted, or that hoses are fitted carefully so they do not leak.
Please read the operating instructions before use and refer to this Handbook whenever appropriate
during use.
Before operating the icountOS ensure all electrical connections, hoses and fittings are securely fitted
to the appropriate standards.
Check all hoses and fittings for wear and or damage. If replacements are required please order
new parts using the Accessory Part Numbers on the Ordering Information section (page 29).
Replace any loose or leaking hoses immediately.
WARNING: High pressure oil or fuel systems can present a danger of serious personal
injury.

Introduction
Parker Hannifin’s icountOS represents the most up-to-date technology in solid particle
contamination analysis. The icountOS is a compact, durable, lightweight integrated laserbased particle detector module that provides a cost-effective solution to fluid management and
contamination control.
Principles of operation
The icountOS measures particle contamination continuously and updates the output options every
second. The interval can be defined by the user so that measurements may be taken as often as
required.
In contrast to other Parker particle counters (such as the CM20, LCM20, ACM20 or MCM20), the
icountOS allows the user to set the duration of the test and frequency of the measurements taken.
The results are reported immediately, but also stored in the unit’s internal memory and may be
downloaded later for analysis by third-party applications (such as Microsoft® Excel).
The icountOS has high levels of controlled accuracy, stability and sensitivity.
Servicing and calibration
GB
Please refer to the Parker Hannifin Quality and Servicing Booklet (FDCB272UK), supplied on CD.
NOTE: Any servicing or repair work must be carried out by a Parker approved service
centre. See page 31 for details.
