2.5R100 Technical Description
The R100 (EMTEK, LLC Remote 100) is a stationary, AC power operated, microbial air sampler. The unit utilizes its’ rear
sanitary inlet connector to connect to various lengths of tubing for remote sampling purposes, making it ideal for filling lines,
BFS, laminar flow hoods, biosafety cabinets, final filtration suites, etc. The unit is comprised of an enclosure and base cover
that are made of grained 316 stainless steel. The 316 stainless steel used to form the enclosure and base plate is ideal for any
testing environment as it will not shed particulates, will resist oxidation, and is impervious to various routinely used chemicals
and cleaning agents. The user interfaces with the R100 through a bicolor LCD touch screen for entering user defined sample
parameters and for the initiation and termination of sample runs. During operation the LCD displays key sample run
information, as well as a visual sample progress indicator.
The R100 is offered with two (2) sample flow rates (requires remote sampling head for operation): 28.3 LPM (1 CFM) and
100 LPM. The highest flow rate, 100 LPM, allows for the collection of a cubic meter of air in 10-minutes, while the 28.3
LPM (1 CFM) flow rate takes approximately 35 minutes to capture a cubic meter. At the 100LPM flow rate the R100 is capable
of sampling with a maximum tubing length of 10 feet (3 meters), while at the 28.3LPM flow rate the R100 is capable of
sampling with a maximum tubing length of 50 feet (15 meters). The flow is controlled through a proprietary CPU control
system, which offers automated flow control of the two defined flow rates. Flow rates are calibrated and set against traceable
standards using an external software program and may not be altered through the user interface on the unit. Sample rates and
total volume sampled maybe displayed and output in Cubic Feet, Liters, or Cubic Meters (only for total volume). Flow alarm
settings are available for the flow rates, which will produce both an audible and visual alarm during operation and may be
output to the optional printer upon completion/termination of the sample period. Alarm occurrences are maintained within
the systems internal memory with the associated sample parameter information until the 500-sample run memory buffer is
cleared.
The R100 operates in conjunction with the RAS with separate sieve impaction inlet covers for each of the two flow rates, 28.3
LPM (1 CFM) and 100 LPM. The RAS is sold in both Anodized Aluminum, and 316SS. The R100 Package can be ordered
with either option, and additional RAS samplers, or inlet covers may be ordered separately. The inlet covers include a 300-
hole pattern with appropriate inlet hole sizing for each flow rate to assure optimal physical and biological recovery capabilities.
Each inlet cover includes a distance gauge, which works in conjunction an adjustable media stage to assure an ideal distance is
maintained between the inlet cover and test media surface for appropriate microbial particulate capture. The air sampler uses
standard 90mm agar based microbial test plates (e.g., Trypticase Soy Agar (TSA)). During testing the sampled air volume
drawn through each air sampler is HEPA filtered before being exhausted within the R100.
The R100 software, allows for sampling periods of up to 120-minutes (or 120 Cubic Feet/3396 Liters/3.4 Cubic Meters) at the
28.3 LPM sample rate, while sample times are limited 30-minutes (or 106 Cubic Feet/3000 Liters/3 Cubic Meters) at 100 LPM.
While the stated time periods, or total sample volumes are allowed by the R100, EMTEK strongly suggests that all sampling
periods employed by be qualified by the user to verify appropriate organismal recovery. In addition, the R100 offers the user
the capability of entering an initial sample delay, as well as hold and test periods for each sample run. This initial sample
delay allows the user time to exit the immediate area of the sample location, while the hold and test period settings allows for
intermittent sampling of an area or process for an extended time period, as determine appropriate by the user. For an example,
the user may set an initial delay period of 3-minutes and then opt to sample for 5-minute periods with 5-minute hold periods
between each 5-minute sampling period, which will occur for a period up to the maximum total sampling period defined for
the flow rate chosen. If the flow rate chosen is 28.3 LPM, and the maximum active sampling period set is 60-minutes, this

EMTEK, LLC - R100 USERS MANUAL / AUG2019.REV01
7
would allow for twelve (12) 5-minute test periods, followed by eleven (11) 5-minute hold periods, for a total plate exposure
time of 118-minutes (including the 3-minute initial delay). This would result in a total of 60-minutes of active sampling. The
blower motor powers down during hold periods. Again, EMTEK recommends the user qualify any sampling plan used, to
include sample delay, and test/hold periods.
The R100 maintains key sample run parameter data within its internal memory, which is maintained until the memory buffer
is cleared by the user or unit administrator, and/or if the 500-sample run memory buffer capacity is exceeded. Based on
administrative options, the unit will either allow no more runs to be taken with the unit until the run data is reviewed and cleared,
or it will remove the oldest run stored with each new run take. The data maintained in the system includes set/actual flow
rate, set/actual sample volume, sample start/end times, set delay, test and hold period, equipment and serial numbers, calibration
date and due date of the controller/air sampler(s), user defined site description, user ID, and alarms during sampling. An
alphanumeric keypad is provided on the touch screen for entering user defined site identifiers/descriptions. All sample runs are
date and time stamped and are also assigned a unique sample identification string which is comprised of the units assigned
serial number and a non-repeating character string up to 99,999 samples. The run data cannot be altered within the CPU system
of the R100. It may only be output (via USB Stick, or Printer), viewed (via LCD, or PC), or cleared from the system.
Sample runs on the R100 can be initiated through either the R100 touch screen Run Display screen, the supplied Infrared
Remote (IR Remote), or by remote PC operation using our PC Control Software. Every R100 will come standard with
EMTEK’s proprietary PC Control Software from EMTEK’s P100 Product line, in addition to the unit’s MODBUS Mapping
Data. EMTEK’s PC Control Software will allow any technician to remotely control single, or multiple R100's via Ethernet
connection to a Local Area Network (LAN). The technician will be able to perform the following functions of the unit remotely
with this software: Start, Stop, Pause, Resume Set/View: Date, Time, Sample Volume, Sample Time, Delay, Test, Hold, Site
ID, Bldg/Room Data. In addition, the technician will be ale to view or output an on-screen .csv file, and will be able to print
these data through any printer connected to the same network. PDF output of the sample run data, is possible from the PC
Control software, if the PC has a PDF printing option.
Alternatively, the MODBUS Mapping will allow for integration into any internal facility monitoring systems with some effort
from an internal IT department. Using either the R100 display, IR Remote, or PC, the user can START, PAUSE, RESUME,
or STOP a sampling session. The IR Remote allows for these functions at up to a 40-Foot distance, or approximately 12
meters, with line of site to the R100 IR Receiver window located just above the touch screen display on the R100. The
supplied single IR remote can operate up to 5 R100’s with different IR ID#’s set on the unit (user selectable IR ID#’s 1 through
5).
There are several options available for the R100. This includes a portable thermal printer, horizontal flow inlet, remote
exhaust kit, and remote sampling kit. The thermal printer is battery operated and can utilize both paper and label stock
available from EMTEK. There are two options for the label stock. This includes labels that use black mark detection with
backing and a tear of perforation, or liner-less labels (no-backing self-sticking) without tear of perforations. The printer
outputs the defined key sample parameter data following each run (if desired). Additionally, the user can output duplicate
labels/data from sample data stored in the memory buffer based on a requested number of samples. The horizontal flow inlet
allows for testing in areas of horizontal air flow such as horizontal flow Laminar Air Flow Hoods/Benches. The remote
exhaust kit allows for attachment of tubing to exhaust sampled air away from, or outside of the location being sampled (e.g.,
Isolator, ISO 5 Filling Line, LAF Hood, etc.). The remote sampling kit allows for attachment of remote probe tubing to the
inlet of the RAS, for locations where the RAS may not fit, or for very critical locations where sample plate loading/unloading
in that location is not desirable

4.2 Electrostatic discharge (ESD) considerations
Important Note: To minimize hazards and ESD risks, maintenance procedures not
requiring power to the R100 should be performed with power removed.
Delicate internal electronic components can be damaged by static electricity,
resulting in degraded instrument performance or eventual failure.
Note Importante: Pour minimiser les dangers et les risques de l'EDD, les procédures d'entretien
non nécessitant une alimentation à la R100 devrait être exécuté avec la
puissance retirés. Interne sensible composants électroniques, peuvent être
endommagés par l'électricité statique, résultant en instrument une
dégradation des performances ou de l'échec éventuel.

The manufacturer recommends taking the following steps to prevent ESD damage to
your instrument:
• Before touching any instrument electronic components (such as printed circuit cards
and the components on them) discharge static electricity from the body. To discharge
static electricity, touch an earth-grounded metal surface such as the chassis of an
instrument, or a metal conduit or pipe.
• To reduce static build-up, avoid excessive movement. Transport static-sensitive
components in anti-static containers or packaging.
• To discharge static electricity from the body and keep it discharged, wear a wrist
strap connected by a wire to earth ground.
• Handle all static-sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
anti-static floor pads and work bench pads.
