1General Safety
General
Safety Warnings and cautions are used throughout this manual. Familiarize
yourself with the meaning of a warning before operating the particle
counter. All warnings will appear in the left margin of the page next to
the subject or step to which it applies. Pay close attention to each
warning message. Take extreme care when performing any procedure
preceded by or containing a warning.
There are several classifications of Warnings directed 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.
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. As a general
precaution, avoid any
possible exposure to
laser radiation by
honoring manufacturer
seals and warranty
stickers .
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”. See Figure 1-1.

2Introduction
Overview This operating guide describes how to use the Lighthouse
HANDHELD 2016, 3016 and 5016 Airborne Particle Counters.
The HANDHELD 2016 has up to six particle-size channels starting at
0.2 microns with a flow of 0.1 CFM and a touch screen interface. The
HANDHELD 3016 has up to six particle-size channels starting at 0.3
microns and the HANDHELD 5016 has up to six channels starting at
0.5 microns. They are otherwise identical to the 2016 model. A
microprocessor controls all instrument functions. Count data is
displayed as cumulative or differential count.
The model number signifies the minimum particle size measured by the
instrument. The number “2016” indicates a 0.2μm minimum channel
size at 0.1 CFM with up to 6 channels. The number “3016” indicates a
0.3 μm minimum channel size at 0.1 CFM with up to 6 channels. The
number “5016” represents a 0.5μm minimum channel size at 0.1 CFM
with up to six channels.
The instrument uses a laser-diode light source and collection optics for
particle detection. Particles scatter light from the laser diode. The
collection optics collect and focus the light 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. Results are displayed as particle counts in
the specified size channel.

2-2 248083400-1 Rev 7
Description Ergonomically designed and lightweight, the Lighthouse HANDHELD
2016, 3016 and 5016 particle counters are the newest and most
advanced handheld particle counters on the market. See Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 Handheld 3016
The HANDHELD 2016/3016/5016 displays cumulative or differential
particle count data as well as Temperature/Relative Humidity data on
its easy to read 3.8" (9.25cm) touch screen. A rechargeable battery
maximizes the HANDHELD’s uptime. Data is easily downloaded
using the LMS XChange software.
The HANDHELD allows you to:
• Set the Sample Time
• Configure the number of samples taken in a given Location
• Sample many different locations
• Print reports (with optional, external printer) based on Federal
Standard 209E (ft3), ISO 146441-1, and EU GMP 2009 (if unit has
0.5 and 5.0 channels).
• Save your data for historical data review
• Print data tables using the data transfer software included with your
instrument. Additionally use LMS Express to print graphs, data
tables, and standards reports.

3Unpacking, Inspecting
and Installation
Initial
Inspection
The instrument is thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory and is
ready for use upon receipt.
Unpacking It is presumed that when the shipment was received, the following took
place:
1. The shipping container was inspected for damage.
2. If the container was damaged, the shipper was notified
immediately.
3. The instrument was carefully inspected for broken parts,
scratches, dents and other damage before use, even if the
container appeared undamaged, and
4. Any damages were reported to Lighthouse Technical Support at
800-945-5905 (USA Toll Free) or 541-770-5905 (Outside of
USA) before proceeding.
Verify the contents of the package against the Shipping List. If anything
appears to be missing, please contact your sales representative at
Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions immediately at 510-438-0500 (Sales).
To maintain your warranty, keep the undamaged shipping
container and all packing material for reshipment of the
instrument for annual calibration. Order replacement
containers and packing materials from Lighthouse directly,
or from a Lighthouse-authorized distributor.

Shipping
Instructions
Should it become necessary to return the unit to the factory for any
reason, contact Lighthouse Customer Service or visit our website,
www.golighthouse.com/rma, and obtain a Return Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) number. Reference this number on all shipping
documentation and purchase orders. After receipt of the RMA number,
follow the shipping instructions below:
WARNING: If the
instrument is damaged
during a return shipment
due to inadequate user
packing, the warranty
may be voided and may
result in additional
repairs being billed to
the customer.
1. Use the original container, nozzle caps and packing materials
whenever possible. Remove any instrument battery and package
it to ship separately - refer to www.golighthouse.com/rma for
detailed instructions. Remove attachments, such as TRH or Iso-
kinetic probes, and package to prevent physical and ESD damage.
2. If the original container and packing materials are not available,
wrap the unit in “bubble pack”, surround with shock-absorbent
material and place in a double-wall carton - the instrument should
not rattle around when the carton is vigorously shaken. If the
instrument is damaged during shipment due to inadequate user
packing, the warranty may be voided and may result in additional
repairs being billed to customer. You may contact Lighthouse to
purchase a replacement shipping container and nozzle caps.
WARNING: Do not
ship the instrument with
the battery installed.
3. Seal container or carton securely. Mark “FRAGILE” and write the
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number on any
unmarked corner.
4. Return the instrument to the address provided by your Lighthouse
representative or the RMA website.
