1General Safety
Safety
Considerations
Warnings and cautions are used throughout this manual. It is the
responsibility of the user to familiarize themselves 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. 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
• LAN-Connect - pertaining to Ethernet LAN and instrument damage
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. Figure 1-1 Laser Warning Label Inside Unit

Electrostatic
Safety
Information
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:
WARNING: Using a
wrist-strap without an
isolation resistor will
increase the severity of
an electrical shock.
• Use a grounded conductive table mat and resistor-isolated wrist-
strap combination.
Earth-ground all test instruments to prevent a buildup of static charge.
LAN-connect
Warning
WARNING: Connect only Ethernet REMOTE-4PN Series
instruments to a standard Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network). An
RS485 MODBUS REMOTE-4PN may damage the instrument, LAN
hardware or both if its RJ45 port is connected to an Ethernet
network.
Failure to heed this warning will void the instrument warranty and
may void the associated warranties of any affected LAN
equipment.

4PN Series:

2Introduction
Overview This operating manual introduces the reader to the Lighthouse
REMOTE-4PN Series of four-channel Airborne Particle Counters.
Also included in this manual are instructions for inspecting, using and
maintaining the instrument. Any instrument design changes that may
affect its operation are covered at the back of this manual.
Description
Note: References in this
manual to the different
models of instruments may
be stated as REMOTE-
4PN Series or REMOTE-
4PN - they mean the same
and are specific to the
entire unit. References to
Rxxx4 are specific to the
counter within the NEMA
enclosure.
The REMOTE 3014PN (R3014PN) instrument incorporates up to four
particle-size channels starting at 0.3 microns; the REMOTE 5014PN
(R5014PN) shown in Figure 2-1 incorporates up to four particle-size
channels starting at 0.5 micron at 0.1 CFM. The REMOTE 3104PN
(R3104PN) incorporates up to four particle-size channels starting at 0.3
micron and the 5104PN (R5104PN) incorporates up to four particle-
size channels starting at 0.5 micron at 1.0 CFM.

Lighthouse REMOTE-4PN Series Operating Manual
2-2 248083317-1 Rev 4
REMOTE-4PN instruments use 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.
The REMOTE-4PN Series of particle counters were designed for
continuous trouble-free operation using an internal flow-controlled
vacuum pump and a standard NEMA style 316L stainless steel
enclosure. This design provides an industry standard mounting
configuration and can be installed where space is limited. REMOTE-
4PN Series instruments integrate seamlessly with large facility
monitoring and management systems and transfer up to 4 channels of
simultaneous particle count data using RS485 output.
Accessories The REMOTE-4PN Series instrument supports remote monitoring
when equipped with a tubing kit of 3 meters.
Several accessories can be ordered to tailor the instrument to specific
needs. Please contact a Sales Engineer for these options.
