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.
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.
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 .

2Introduction
Overview This operating guide describes how to use the Lighthouse
HANDHELD 3016 IAQ Airborne Particle Counter.
The HANDHELD 3016 IAQ has up to six particle-size channels
starting at 0.3m with a flow of 0.1 CFM and a touch screen interface.
A microprocessor controls all instrument functions. Count data is
displayed as cumulative or differential count in Particle Mode. In Mass
Concentration Mode, particles are displayed in micrograms per cubic
meter.
The model number signifies the minimum particle size measured by the
instrument. The number “3016” indicates a 0.3m minimum channel
size at 0.1 CFM with up to 6 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.
Description Ergonomically designed and lightweight, the Lighthouse HANDHELD
3016 IAQ particle counter is the newest and most advanced handheld
particle counters on the market.
The HANDHELD 3016 IAQ displays cumulative or differential
particle count data, Mass Concentration data and 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 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
• Save your data for historical data review
• Print data tables using the data transfer software included with your
instrument.

for Use
Power Requirements
The power adapter input requirement is 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz, 1.25
Amps. Its output is +12VDC, 3A. A power cord and power adapter are
included with your HANDHELD 3016 IAQ.
To protect the instrument from voltage spikes, Lighthouse recommends
using protected power. Using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
when the HANDHELD is kept in a stationary location will help prevent
damage to the instrument or loss of data in the event of a power outage.
