techniques can be used to reduce interference problems:
English 9

1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or
is not the source of the interference.
2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device
experiencing interference, connect the equipment to a different
outlet.
3. Move the equipment away from the device receiving the interference.
4. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving the
interference.
5. Try combinations of the above.

Installation
W A R N I N G
Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks
described in this section of the document.
Wiring safety information
W A R N I N G
Electrocution hazard. Make sure that there is easy access to the local
power disconnect.
NOTICE
Always disconnect power to the instrument before electrical connections are
made.
Obey all safety statements while connections are made to the
instrument.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) considerations
NOTICE
Potential Instrument Damage. Delicate internal electronic components
can be damaged by static electricity, resulting in degraded
performance or eventual failure.
Refer to the steps in this procedure to prevent ESD damage to the
instrument:
• Touch an earth-grounded metal surface such as the chassis of an
instrument, a metal conduit or pipe to discharge static electricity from
the body.
• Avoid excessive movement. Transport static-sensitive components in
anti-static containers or packages.
• Wear a wrist strap connected by a wire to earth ground.
• Work in a static-safe area with anti-static floor pads and work bench
pads.
Electrical connections
Connect probes, external power, cables and USB devices as shown in

Lithium battery safety
W A R N I N G
Fire and explosion hazard. Lithium batteries may get hot, explode or
ignite and cause serious injury if exposed to abuse conditions.
• Do not use the battery if there is visible damage.
• Do not use the battery after strong shock or vibration occurs.
• Do not expose the battery to fire.
• Keep the battery at temperatures less than 60 ºC (140 ºF).
• Keep the battery dry and away from water.
• Prevent contact between the positive and negative battery terminals.
• Do not let unauthorized persons touch the battery.
Install the batteries
W A R N I N G
Explosion hazard. To avoid fire and/or explosion, use only the battery type and
power supply/charger specified by the manufacturer. For part numbers, refer to
Figure 1 on page 11.

on page 41 for ordering information.
Install the printer paper
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the printer, do not operate the printer without paper. Use
only the recommended thermal paper. If the particle counter must be used
without paper, be sure to set the print mode to "None".
Refer to the illustrated steps in Figure 5 to install printer paper.
Figure 5 Printer paper installation
16 English

Connect to clean dry air (optional)
Make sure that all the components installed before the particle counter,
including interconnecting lines, are pressure rated for higher than
150 psi.
Use a clean dry air (CDA) purge in high vapor areas to minimize
contamination of the sensor. The CDA purge typically consists of a
pressure source (40–120 psi, 100 psi nominal), a desiccator and an
absolute 0.1 µm filter. The CDA will use approximately 0.1 CFM at
atmospheric pressure.
1. Connect the purge air line to the CDA purge connector on the
particle counter. Refer to Figure 2 on page 12. Use the supplied 1/8-
inch NPT fitting.
2. Switch on the particle counter.
3. Switch on the purge air.
Connect RS485 communication (optional)
To connect for RS485 communication, refer to the illustrated steps that
follow.
