1.01How the 3M™Clean‑Trace™ NGi Luminometer works to MeasureContamination
The 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer is a luminometer used in conjunction with 3M reagent kits to measure levels of contamination
on surfaces and in water samples. The technology used is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence. ATP is a substance present in all
animal and vegetable matter, including most food debris, bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms. Measurement of ATP is performed using
an enzyme reaction which occurs naturally in the tail offireflies.
Luciferin/Luciferase (firefly reagent) + ATP =Light
The light emitted is in proportion to the amount of ATP. The intensity of the light emitted from a sample is measured by the
3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer and is displayed in Relative Light Units(RLU).
1.02ATP and Surface HygieneTesting.
The 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer, together with the appropriate test kit, is an effective method for monitoring the hygiene status of
surfaces. ATP from both micro-organisms and product residues are detected. Measurement of “total ATP” provides an important insight to the
overall cleanliness. Product residues remaining on surfaces after cleaning will be a source of nutrients for any remaining micro-organisms
and may also protect the micro-organisms from disinfectant action. Because of the fast results, use of the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi
Luminometer allows immediate remedial action to be taken if an unacceptable result is obtained. Surfaces can be re-cleaned before use,
ensuring good sanitation and contaminationcontrol.
The test kit instructions should be read carefully beforeuse.
1.03ATP and WaterTesting.
Test kits are available for the assessment of contamination in liquid samples. Measurement of the total ATP in final rinse water samples is an
indicator of the effectiveness of Clean in Place (CIP) processes. The total ATP in process and waste water, water tanks and cooling towers can
be used to determine and monitor the efficiency of the biocide treatmentprogram.
Measurement of free or non microbial ATP can be performed in addition to total ATP for further information on the nature of
thecontamination.
The test kit instructions should be read carefully beforeuse.

2.02GeneralFeatures
The 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer is a light-weight, fully portable instrument with alphanumeric LCD display. The instrument is for
use in production areas, healthcare settings and laboratories and can be supplied with a carrying pouch. A separate internal Lithium Battery
is used to retain information in the instruments memory, with regard to sample plans, test points, data and calibrationsetting.
RS 232to PC is not functional on NGiLuminometer.
2.03Charging theBattery
The instrument runs on a removable, rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. The sealed battery pack is supplied with the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi
Luminometer and needs to be charged prior touse.
It is necessary to attach the battery pack to the instrument. Locate the battery pack into the aperture in the rear of the 3M™Clean-Trace™
NGi Luminometer by inserting the bottom of the battery pack first and pushing the battery into place. Secure the battery pack by turning the
fixing screw clockwise using a small screwdriver. Do notover‑tighten.
The 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer may now be charged using the charger supplied. Plug the connector from the charger into the
3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer as shown in Figure 2, then connect the charger to an AC power outlet and switch on. Alternatively,
the optional docking station is used, insert the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer into the docking station, plug the connector from the
charger into the docking station then connect the charger to an AC poweroutlet.
The battery in the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer will charge fully in approximately 2hours and will then be ready for use. The
battery level indicator shows the state of charge. Remove the AC power and unplug the charger from the instrument. If a docking station is
used, the charger can remain attached to the docking station permanently. In this way, the instrument is always being charged ready for use
when it is in the dockingstation.
The 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer will display this screen when it is switched off
andcharging.

If the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer is turned on and operating with the charger
connected, the arrow next to the battery symbol will beshown.
When switched on, the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer will display a continuous indication of battery status at the top right of the
displayscreen.
The removable battery pack is held in place by a singlescrew.
To remove the battery pack, turn screw counter-clockwise untilloose
(it is a captive screw so will remain attached to the battery pack) then remove thebattery.
This shows the battery pack removed. Note the battery contacts. Do not touch or
contaminate them as this could lead to unreliable operation. The battery pack is only
available from 3M or localdistributor.
2.04Switching the InstrumentON
Ensure that no samples have been left in the chamber from previous tests before switching the instrument on. The power switch is the red
button on the instrument. Pressing and holding the On/Off button will switch the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer on. Pressing and
holding the On/Off button again will switch the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer off. When switching on, the 3M™Clean-Trace™
NGiLuminometer performs a series of self-checks, including an initial instrument background measurement and a calibration check.
Thefollowing screens will be displayed during initial start-up and system selfcheck.
The following screen is displayedfirst:
It is possible to pause the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer at this point in order to note
the hardware and software versions to aid diagnosis in the event of a malfunction. Press any

2.07SwabSensor
It is recommended that as soon as the measurement of a test has been completed, the test device should be removed from the chamber
of the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer. Should a 3M™Clean-Trace™ ATP test device be left in the chamber and the instrument
be inverted or laid on its side, there could be leakage of the contents of the test into the luminometer causing damage to the sensitive
components of theinstrument.
The 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer has a sensor to determine if a 3M™Clean-Trace™ ATP test device has been left in the chamber
for more than 30seconds following the completion of a measurement. If this situation is detected, the instrument will display a “Swab Left In
Chamber” error message on the screen and provide an audible beep to remind the user to remove the test following themeasurement.
Similarly, if a measurement is attempted in Program Mode without a 3M™ Clean-Trace™ ATP test in the chamber of the instrument, the test
sensor will notify the user that the chamber is empty with a “No Swab Detected” error message and an audible beep. This message will not
be displayed when tests are attempted in Measure Samplemode.
2.08Low PowerMode
If the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer is switched on but left unattended for some
time during operation, the instrument will switch to Low Power Mode in order to conserve
battery power. During normal operation this will occur approximately 30seconds after the
backlight has switchedoff.
The Low Power Mode screen is displayed opposite. Low Power Mode can also be entered by
pressing and holding the top left green function button when in “MainMenu”display.
Pressing any green button (except red power button) on the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi
Luminometer will return the instrument to the screen displayed before the Low Power Mode
wasactivated.
2.09PCCommunications
In order to communicate between the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer and
3M™Clean-Trace™ Online Software ensure that the luminometer is connected to the PC
via the USB cable or through the 3M™Clean-Trace™ Docking Station, which in turn is
connected to the PC via the USBcable.
The screen shown on the right is displayed when the PC is communicating with the
3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer during the transfer of sample plans orresults.

6.08Setting the BacklightTimeout
The display on the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer is fitted with a backlight to improve visibility in dark or dim lighting conditions.
The backlight may be set permanently off, permanently on; or may be set to remain on for a preset time interval after which the backlight
extinguishes. Pressing any button re-starts the backlight time interval. This interval may be set from 5seconds to 60seconds in 5second
increments. It should be noted that the instrument consumes more power when the backlight isilluminated.
Under normal ambient lighting conditions, there should be no need to use thebacklight.
If the backlight is not required, set the Backlight Timeout permanently to OFF to ensure
maximum battery life. By default, the Backlight Timeout is set to 15seconds.
While in the SETUP Menu, use the navigation (▲/▼) buttons to select BACKLIGHTTIMEOUT.
Select desired timeout value using the navigation (◄/►)buttons.
Press the Back button to return to the MAIN MENU or use the navigation (▲/▼) buttons to

7.0SYNCHRONISE NGi
7.01What is SYNCHRONISE NGi
7.02How to SYNCHRONISE NGi
7.01What is SYNCHRONISE NGi
Synchronisation allows for the transfer of results stored in the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer to 3M™Clean-Trace™ Online
Software and the download of sample plans from 3M™Clean-Trace™ Online Software to the Clean-Trace NGi luminometer. In order to
UPLOAD RESULTS, the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer must be connected via the USB cable or 3M™Clean-Trace™ Docking
Station to a PC, on which the 3M™Clean-Trace™ Online Software driver has been installed. The 3M™Clean-Trace™ Online Software
driver allows communication between the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer and 3M™Clean-Trace™ Online Software. Refer to the
3M™Clean-Trace™ Online Software User Guide for moreinformation.
NOTE: A USB symbol will only appear on the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer screen when it is connected to the 3M™Clean-Trace™
Online Software via the USB cable or DockingStation.
7.02How to SYNCHRONISE NGi
To start the synchronisation process you need to right-click on the 3M Synchronisation Manager icon on the System Tray of your PC and
select Open 3MSynchronisationManager .
If you cannot find the icon in the system tray then start it by goingto
Start\All Programs\3M CleanTrace Hygiene Management Solution\ 3M NGiSync.
Next you need to click on the Synchronise button at the bottom of the 3MSynchronisation Managerscreen.
You will then be asked to enter your Username and Password. Once you have entered them then click onOK.
The 3M Synchronisation Manager will validate your Username andPassword.
If they are incorrect then a Login Failed message will be displayed. Re-enter your Username & Password and
tryagain.
The 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer will begin communicating with
3M™Clean-Trace™ Online Software. The screen opposite will be displayed on the NGi.
Data Synchronisation
In Progress

At the end of a successful synchronisation, a synchronisation completed message will be
displayed on the NGi. Stored results will have been uploaded to 3M™Clean-Trace™ Online
Software and will have been removed* from the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer. Any
adjustments to Sample Plans will be updated on the 3M™Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer.
Select OK to return to the MAINMENU.
* NOTE: Partial Result Sets that are not Marked Complete will NOT have been uploaded to the server or removed from the NGi.
SeeSection5.04Partial Result Sets for furtherinformation.
If you experience any problem during the synchronisation phase, please refer the Troubleshooting Section of this instruction manual or the
3M™Clean-Trace™ Online Software UserGuide.
8.0MANAGING MULTIPLEORGANISATIONS
If you have access to more than one organisation then, during synchronisation, you will
be asked which organisation(s) you wish to download to the NGi. If you download more
than one organisation then a new CHANGE ORGANISATION menu item will appear in the
MAINMENU and the organisation that you are currently using will appear at the top of the
MAINMENUscreen.
Selecting CHANGE ORGANISATION will display a screen listing the organisations that are on
the NGi. To select an organisation, scroll to the ORGANISATION and pressSelect.
When you change organisations the NGi only displays information for that organisation.
However, information gathered for other organisations is still stored in the NGi memory and changing back to those organisations will make
the stored information available for you touse.

9.01Using ScheduledSampling
9.02Retests
9.03Partial ResultSets
9.04Reassigning Schedules
Scheduled Sampling allows you to specify how often measurements should be taken in a specific location and optionally specify who should
take the measurements. If the Scheduled Sampling system is set up on the website then, when you synchronise, Scheduled Sampling data
will be loaded onto your NGi.
See 3M™Clean-Trace™ Online Software Help File for further Information about configuring the system for
ScheduledSampling.
9.01Using ScheduledSampling
If Scheduled Sampling data has been loaded to your NGi then you will see a new option
SCHEDULED SAMPLING in the MAINMENU.
When you select SCHEDULED SAMPLING then you may be asked to identify yourself to the
NGi. If you are asked to identify yourself then you will see a screen that allows you to select
yourUser Name.
If your Website Administrator has allowed it, then there may be a <No User Name> option at the end of the list of names. If you select this
option then you will log on anonymously and you will only see schedules that have not been assigned to a specificuser.
If you select a user name other than <No User Name> then you may be asked to enter a
4-digit PIN. If you do not know your PIN then logon to the website and go to MyAccount to
view or change your NGi UserPIN.
