Safety
Considerations
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. 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
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

2Introduction
Overview This operating manual introduces you to the Lighthouse REMOTE
2014P, 3014P or 5014P family of Airborne Particle Counters. Included
in this manual are instructions for inspecting, using and maintaining the
instrument.
Description All members of the ’P’ family of instruments have up to six particle
channel sizes and a flow rate of 0.1CFM. The model name denotes the
starting particle size (sensitivity). The 2014P sensitivity is 0.2 microns,
the 3014P sensitivity is 0.3 microns and the 5014P sensitivity is 0.5
microns.
Figure 2-1 REMOTE 3014P Airborne Particle Counter
The instrument uses a 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
current which is converted to a voltage and amplified.

Lighthouse REMOTE 2014P, 3014P, 5014P Operating Manual
2-2 248083408-1 Rev 1
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. The height or amplitude of the pulse is equal to the amount of
light scattered by each particle and is proportional to its size.
These pulses are processed by additional electronics that analyze their
height to determine the size of the corresponding particle. This allows
counting of the particles and grouping based on their size.
The REMOTE 2014, 3014P and 5014P are effective in both ultra-clean
areas (such as Class 1 or Class 10) and also 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. The REMOTE 2014P, 3014P or 5014P integrate seamlessly
into 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.
The manufacturer recommends that your Lighthouse instrument be
calibrated annually by a Certified Lighthouse Service Provider to
ensure it continues to perform within specification.
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.
When Calibration comes due, the Service LED will illuminate and stay
ON during sampling mode until the instrument has been calibrated.
