1General Safety
Safety
Considerations
Warnings and cautions are used throughout this manual and the reader
should become familiar with the meaning of a warning before
operating the particle counter. Most warnings will appear in the left
margin of the page next to the subject or step to which it applies. Take
care when performing any procedures preceded by or containing a
warning. The classifications of warnings are defined as follows:
WARNING: There are
no user-serviceable
components inside the
particle counter
• LASER - pertaining to exposure to visible or invisible LASER
radiation
• Electrostatic - pertaining to electrostatic discharge
• Network Connect - pertaining to communication ports and
instrument damage
LASER Safety
Information
This product is considered to be a Class 1 LASER product (as defined
by FDA 21 CFR, §1040.10) when used under normal operation and
maintenance. Performing service on the internal sensor can, however,
result in exposure to invisible radiation.

WARNING: The use
of controls, adjustments
or procedures other than
those specified within
this manual may result in
personal injury and/or
damage to this
instrument.
The particle counter has been evaluated and tested in accordance with
EN 61010-1:2010, EN61010-2-081-2-2015 “Safety Requirements For
Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use”,
particular requirements for automatic and semi-automatic laboratory
equipment for analysis and other purposes and IEC 60825-1:2014,

WARNING: There are no user-serviceable components
inside the particle counter. Only factory authorized service
personnel should repair or service this instrument and its
optical system.
The use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than
those specified within this manual may result in personal
injury and/or damage to this instrument. Attempts by
untrained personnel to disassemble, alter, modify or adjust
the electronics or optics may result in personal injury and
damage to the instrument and will void its warranty.
Review Lighthouse specifications before installing a DC
power supply or gateway that will be designated as a power
source for the R1100/1104. Attempting to use under-rated
power source equipment can expose the instrument,
adjacent equipment and the user to dangerous shock and
fire hazards. Failure to meet the specifications as provided
by Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions will void the instrument
Warranty and may cause serious personal injury.
WARNING: The
REMOTE 1100/1104 uses
a 24V AC-DC power
supply. It connects to the
round connector shown
in Figure 1-1. Handle
with care and keep away
from water or conductive
liquids.
Figure 1-1 RS485, CEMS and 24VDC Power Connectors
Electrostatic
Safety
Information
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic
components. Therefore, any service or maintenance work should be
done at a static-safe work station. A static-safe work station requires an
ESD consultant to evaluate the work environment and propose the
equipment and apparel needed for just such a work station to be
successful.

General Safety
248083363-1 Rev 4 1-3
Sampling
Safety
WARNING: Do not attempt to sample reactive gases (such as
hydrogen or oxygen) with this instrument. Reactive gases create an
explosion hazard in the instrument.
Sampling any gas under pressure can damage the instrument and
void the warranty.
Sampling any gas that is not the same density as ambient air can
result in inaccurate data.
Do NOT allow water, solvents, or other liquids to enter the instrument
via the inlet tube - the instrument will be damaged and the warranty
voided.
Disposal of
Instrument
If disposal of the instrument is required, the instrument should be
returned without its battery (ies) to Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions
for proper disassembly and disposal of hazardous materials. An RMA
is required and, other than possible shipping costs, there is no charge
for this service.
Contact Lighthouse for additional information.

2Introduction
Overview This operating manual introduces the Lighthouse REMOTE 1100,
1104 family of Airborne Particle Counters. Included in this manual are
instructions for inspecting, using and maintaining these instruments.
Description The R1100 or R1104 instrument has up to four (R1100) or eight
(R1104) particle size channels starting at 0.1 microns at a flow of 1.0
CFM.
Figure 2-1 REMOTE 1104 Airborne Particle Counter
The instrument uses the Lighthouse Long-Life laser diode light source
and laser beam shaping optics to illuminate a cross section of the air
flow path with a laser beam. As particles move along the flow path,
they cross the laser beam and scatter light. The light scattered is
collected by an imaging optical system onto a photodiode. The
photodiode converts this light into a voltage which is amplified.
The resulting pulse is measured for width and height. The width of the
pulse is proportional to the time it takes the particle to cross the laser
beam and the height (amplitude) of the pulse is equal to the amount of
light scattered by each particle which is proportional to its size.
Additional electronics count the particles and group them based on

Lighthouse REMOTE 1100/1104 Operating Manual
2-2 248083363-1 Rev 4
their sizes.
The REMOTE 1100 or 1104 is effective in ultra-clean areas (such as
Class 1 or Class 10) as well as in more traditional cleanzones rated as
Class 100 or higher. They were designed for continuous 24/7
operation. Data is stored in a rotating buffer of 999 records that can be
downloaded real-time or manually as required.
Using an external vacuum source, the instrument can be installed
anywhere power and vacuum are available and where space may be
limited. These instruments integrate seamlessly with large facility
monitoring/management systems and transfer up to 8 channels of
simultaneous particle count data using RS-485/Modbus output. Refer
to Specifications in this chapter for additional instrument information.
Terms Used Throughout this publication, the terms REMOTE 1100 or 1104;
REMOTE; R1100 or R1104; instrument; and counter are used
interchangeably to describe these instruments. These terms are
referring to the same thing.
R1100 vs
R1104
The main difference between the two instruments is how they
communicate and connect to monitoring systems:
The R1100 uses CEMS communication (pulses over a simple two-
wire network); when a particle is detected, a pulse is generated that
communicates the size based on the channel in which it was
detected.
The R1104 uses MODBUS communication, which is an intelligent
communication scheme that provides instrument status in addition
to on-board data storage and is programmable by the data
monitoring equipment.
Accessories Both REMOTEs come standard with a 1.0 CFM purge filter but can be
ordered with several accessories to tailor the instrument to special
requirements. Please contact a Lighthouse Sales Engineer for detailed
additional information.
Annual
Calibration
The manufacturer recommends that the Lighthouse instrument be
calibrated annually by a Certified Lighthouse Service Provider to
ensure that it continues to perform within specification.
