1 General Safety
Safety
Considerations
Warnings and cautions are used throughout this manual. Familiarize
yourself with the meaning of a warning before operating the particle
counter. Warnings may appear in the left margin next to the subject to
which warning applies or in the body of the text. The same warning
may appear in several places within this manual. Exercise extreme care
when performing any procedure 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
• General Use - pertaining to use of the instrument
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

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 void the
warranty.
Do NOT operate the instrument with the inlet tube capped or plugged
- the internal pump may be damaged and void the warranty.
WARNING: Be
advised that +24 VDC is
present on pin 7 of the
RS485 port.
The international Caution symbol shown below may be found
throughout this document. Observe warnings associated with this
symbol.

2 Introduction
Overview This operating manual introduces you to the Lighthouse REMOTE
3104P, 5104P family of Airborne Particle Counters. Included in this
manual are instructions for inspecting, using and maintaining the
instrument.
Description The 3104P, 5104P instruments have up to six particle size channels
starting at 0.3 microns (3104P) and 0.5 microns (5104P) at a flow of
1.0 CFM.
Figure 2-1 REMOTE 5104P Airborne Particle Counter
The instrument uses the Elite™ 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.
Optional
Direct-mount
Isokinetic Probe

Lighthouse REMOTE 3104P, 5104P Operating Manual
2-2 248083336-1 Rev 3
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
their size.
Both instruments are 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 3000 records that can be downloaded real-
time or manually as required.
Using an internal pump, the instrument can be installed where space is
limited. These instruments integrate seamlessly with large facility
monitoring/management systems and transfer up to 6 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 3104P, 5104P;
REMOTE; R3104P, 5104P;instrument; and counter are used
interchangeably to described these instruments.
Accessories You can order several accessories to tailor the instrument to your needs.
Please contact your Lighthouse Sales Engineer for detailed additional
information.
Annual
Calibration
The manufacturer recommends that your Lighthouse instrument be
calibrated annually by a Certified Lighthouse Service Provider to
ensure that it continues to perform within specification.

3 Getting Started
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.
If the carton is not damaged, keep it for reshipment when you return the
instrument for the annual factory calibration or a Return Merchandise
Authorization for repair. Replacements are available for purchase.
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
shipment due to
inadequate user
packing, the warranty
may be voided and
may result in
additional costs being
charged to the
customer.
1. Use the original container, nozzle caps and packing materials
whenever possible. If your instrument contains a battery, remove it
before packing the instrument. If the battery needs to be shipped,
package it separately and refer to www.golighthouse.com/rma for
detailed instructions.
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 all repairs required will
be at cost. You may contact Lighthouse to purchase a replacement
shipping container and nozzle caps.
3. Seal container or carton securely. Mark "FRAGILE" and enter the
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number in any
unmarked corner.
4. Return to the address provided by your Lighthouse representative
or the RMA website.

3-2 248083336-1 Rev 3
Operation Before Power Up
Before using the REMOTE 3104P or 5104P, make sure the inlet is
uncapped. Failure to do this may damage the internal pump and void
the instrument’s warranty.
Before relocating the counter, power it OFF and reinstall the cap to
prevent contamination of the internal laser sensor.
Understanding the LEDs
The front-panel LEDs have special meanings when illuminated. The
figure below shows location of the LEDs and gives a brief description
of their meaning.
Figure 3-1 Front Panel LEDs
• The green POWER LED turns on when the instrument is powered
on.
• The green FLOW LED turns on when the flow is correct.
• The green FLOW LED will blink ON and OFF if flow is
insufficient.
• The orange SERVICE LED will stay on steady if Laser power is
low, sensor optics are dirty or the view chamber contains foreign
objects.
• The blue SAMPLING LED turns on when the instrument is
counting.
