1General Safety
Safety
Considerations
Warnings and cautions are used throughout this manual. Familiarize
yourself with the meaning of a warning before operating the particle
sensor. All warnings will appear in the left margin of the page next to
the subject or step to which it applies. Take extreme care when doing
any procedures preceded by or containing a warning.
There are several classifications of Warnings defined as follows:
• Laser - pertaining to exposure to visible or invisible laser radiation
• Electrostatic - pertaining to electrostatic discharge
Laser Safety
Information
This product contains a laser-based sensor that is a Class 1 product (as
defined by 21 CFR, Subchapter J of the Health and Safety Act of 1968)
when used under normal operation and maintenance. Service
procedures on the sensor can result in exposure to invisible radiation.
Service should be performed only by factory-authorized personnel.
The particle counter has been evaluated and tested in accordance with
EN 610109-1:1993, "Safety Requirements For Electrical Equipment
for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use" and IEC 825-1:1993,
"Safety of Laser Products".
WARNING: The use
of controls, adjustments,
or performance of
procedures other than
those specified within
this manual may result in
exposure to invisible
(infrared) radiation that
can quickly cause
blindness. Figure 1-1 Warning label on unit

Electrostatic
Safety
Information
WARNING: Using a
wrist-strap without an
isolation resistor will
increase the severity of
an electrical shock. Use
of control or adjustment
or performance of
procedure other than
specified here may result
in hazardous radiation
exposure.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic
components. Therefore, all service or maintenance work should be
done at a static-safe work station. A static-safe work station can be
created by doing the following:
• Use a grounded conductive table mat and resistor-isolated wrist-
strap combination
• Earth-ground all test instruments to prevent a buildup of static
charge

2Introduction
Overview This operating guide introduces you to the Lighthouse REMOTE 2010/
3010/5010/5100 Airborne Particle Counter family. Also included in
this guide are instructions for inspecting, using, and maintaining the
instrument. Any changes of instrument operation due to design changes
are covered at the back of this guide.
Description The 2010 instrument is manufactured to count particles at 0.2 micron at
0.1 CFM. The 3010 model counts particles at 0.3 micron at 0.1 CFM.
The 5010 model counts particles at 0.5 micron at 0.1 CFM and the
5100 model counts particles at 0.5 micron at 1.0 CFM.
This instrument is effective in both ultra-clean areas (such as Class 1 or
Class 10) and also in more traditional cleanzones rated as Class 100 or
higher. Refer to Specifications in this manual for additional instrument
information.
Figure 2-1 REMOTE 2010 Airborne Particle Counter
The particle counter uses a laser diode light source and collection
optics for particle detection. The collection optics collect and focus
light scattered by the particles onto a photo diode that converts the
bursts of light into electrical pulses. The pulse height is a measure of
particle size. Pulses are counted and their amplitude is measured for
particle sizing.

2-2 248083200-1 Rev 5
The REMOTE 2010/3010/5010/5100 line of Airborne Particle counters
was created for continuous operation 24 hours per day, 7 days per
week.
Using an external vacuum source, the instrument provides versatile
mounting options and can be installed where space is at a premium.
The REMOTE 2010/3010/5010/5100 integrates seamlessly with large
facility monitoring/management systems and transfers up to 2 channels
of simultaneous particle count data using Pulse Output.
Accessories You can order several accessories to tailor the instrument to your
needs. These accessories are listed below.
• Isokinetic Sampling Probe 0.1 CFM (for 2010, 3010 and 5010)
• Isokinetic Sampling Probe 1.0 CFM (for 5100)
• Sample Tubing
•Cabling
• 0.2Pm Purge Filter Assembly 0.1 CFM or 1.0 CFM Flow Rate

3Getting Started
Unpacking
and Initial
Inspection
The instrument is thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory and is
ready for use upon receipt.
When received, inspect the shipping carton for damage. If the carton is
damaged, notify the carrier and save the carton for carrier inspection.
Inspect the unit for broken parts, scratches, dents, or other damage.
Verify the contents of the package against the packing list.
If the carton is not damaged, keep for reshipment when you return the
instrument for the annual factory calibration.
Shipping
Instructions
Should it become necessary to return the unit to the factory for any
reason, be sure to contact Customer Service and obtain a Return
Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Reference this number on
all shipping documentation and purchase orders. After receipt of the
return number, follow the shipping instructions provided below:
1. Use the original container or carton and packing materials
whenever possible.
2. If the original container and packing materials are not available,
wrap the unit in "bubble pack" plastic; surround with shock-
absorbent material and place in a double-wall carton.
3. Seal container or carton securely. Mark "FRAGILE" and enter
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number in any
unmarked corner.
4. Return to the address instructed by your Lighthouse representative.
