How to Use this Manual
·Where to Start
. . .
If you have just received a new particle counter, read the following sections of this
manual. If the particle counter is ·already set up andworking; you·can .. skip ·section 1.
Sectio.n 1, Getting Started, read ...
• Unpacking and Initial Inspection
• Initial Power Turn-on
Section 2, Operation, read ...
• Counting Particles
• Using the Front-Panel
• Setting Programmed Functions
After reading these sections, you can use the rest of the manual as .a reference. Each
section of the manual has an introduction that tells you what you will find in that
section. The manual also has an AppendixA that contains supplemental information
that may be helpful
if problems occur with the particle counter. ·
Manual Conventions
This manual shows front-panel nomenclature in capital letters. For example, the
"enter" key will appear as ENTER in the manual. Some keys also contain labeled
lights. For example, the COUNT MODE key has two lights labeled "CUM" and
"DIFF". The names of these keys are followed by the names of the lights. For
example, COUNT MODE: CUM/DIFF.
Each section of this manual has its own series of page numbers that are prefixed with
the section number. For example, Section 1, Getting Started, is numbered 1-1, 1-2,
1-3, etc. and Section 2, Operation, is numbered 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3, etc.
Instruments Covered by this Manual
This manual covers the latest versions of the instruments listed on the title page.
Manual effect from earlier versions
of counters is covered in Appendix A,
Supplemental Information.

Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components in those
counters using solid-state laser sensors (see "Specifications"
in Section 1 for type of
sensor in your counter). Therefore, all service or maintenance work should be done at
a static-safe work station. A static-safe work:station can
be 'c'reated by doing the
following:
• ;use a grounded conductive table mat and resistor-isolated wrist-strap combination
• 'Earth-ground all test instruments to prevent a buildup of static charge
·· WARNING
Using a wrist strap without an isolation resistor will increase the severity of an
electrical shock.
CAUTION
The laser driver board, mounted on the laser sensor of the particle counter, contains
wire leads from an extremely.static-sensitive laser diode.
Do not touch the laser driver
board
or any attached cables unless you are ESD protected.

Getting Started
Introducing the Particle Counter
The particle counter measures airborne particles in six size ranges at the same time, and
displays the number
of particles in each range as a cumulative or differential count.
The counter is a state-of-the-art laser-based microprocessor-controlled instrument. It
provides adjustable count alarms, automatic calibration verification, and
computer-controlled operation through a serial port.
The counter's laser and optical lenses create a laser beam that is used to detect particles.
The airborne particles pass through the laser beam, deflecting bursts of light onto a
solid-state photo diode that converts the light to
an electrical pulse. The size of the
pulse is proportional to particle size. The microprocessor and its associated circuitry
sorts and counts these.pulses.
Accessories
RH/Temp and Air
Velocity Probes
High Pressure.
Diffuser
Instrument Cart
Carrying Case
Options
Plug into the counter rear panel. The RH/femp probe monitors
relative humidity.(lO to
90%) and.temperature.(specify,Q to··.
100°F,
or -IS· to 38°C): The· air; velocity··'probe monitors air ·
velocity·(specify·so to 120 feet/minute,
or410 to 616
mm/second). The particle counter displays the reading
of either
probe.
Allows the particle counter to measure in pressurized systems
(30-150 psi). Connects in series with particle counter inlet.
Allows easy movement of counter between sampleJocations.
Protects the counter during shipment or storage.
The following option can be installed when you order your counter or any time
thereafter if you return your counter to the factory.
External Printer

Provides same printouts
as built-in printer, but at distances
