2.3. DEVICE OPERATION
The CIP10 is currently worn on the worker’s chest.
Several versions of particle selectors are proposed with the CIP10 for sampling
health-related aerosol fractions.
2.4. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
The equipment should not be used if damaged in a way that could invalidate
intrinsic safety. It must be return freight prepaid, for expertise or repair at the fol-
lowing address : ARELCO ARC - 231, rue la Fontaine
FR-94120 FONTENAY SOUS BOIS - FRANCE
Or to other distributor approved by ARELCO ARC.
2.5. INSTALLATION
The equipment type CIP10, will be introduce in the plant by the organism which
must make the sampling. The organism will check with the site manager that the
intrinsic safety rating of the product meets the site requirements.
2.6. CALIBRATING THE FLOW RATE
The CIP10 flow rate is adjusted against the method described in the operating
manual. This adjustment will be made outside the dangerous atmosphere.
3. TRAINING INFORMATIONS
The CIP10 enables sampling a specified aerosol fraction depending one of the
size selector placed on the entry of the rotating cup. A regulation circuit controls
the rotation speed for a constant flow rate. The flow rate is adjusted by an inter-
nal potentiometer located inside the device and is made before the sampling at
the required flow rate for the specified selector. To set the flow rate, the calibra-
tion bench or the tachymeter described in the instruction manual must be used.
The flow rate is started when the magnet is slowly passed over the I/O acronym
on the housing (check the LED is lighting).
4. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Battery: 7,2 Volts; 0,6 Ah
Current: 15 +/-2 mA
5. RECHARGING THE BATTERY
The unit includes battery which must be recharged in a non hazardous area with
the ARELCO ARC approved chargers designed for this model.
The internal battery (made from SAFT type 2/3 A 600 or SANYO type KR-
600AE) will have the ARELCO ARC part number ARC 10600.

OVERVIEW

PRELIMINARY NOTE
The CIP10 is a small unit for collecting dust suspended in air. It was designed and
developed in the 80s at CHERCHAR (Centre d’Études et de Recherches de
Charbonnage de France [French Research Center of Coal Mines]) now INERIS
(Institut National de l’Environnement Industriel et des Risques [National Institute on
Environment and Industrial Risks]) by Paul Courbon.
It was particularly studied, with expansion of its possible uses, at the INRS (Institut
National de Recherche et de Sécurité [National Institute Occupational Safety and Health]).
It is manufactured and sold under INERIS license by ARELCO A.R.C.
INERIS BP 2 – 60550 Verneuil en Halatte
INRS BP 27 – 54501 Vandoeuvre Cedex
In 2003, a new cup for sampling microorganisms was perfected. The
CIP10
equipped with this cup is called the CIP 10 M .
GENERAL OVERVIEW
1. OBJECTIVES
The CIP10 is a small unit for collecting dust, intended to measure employees’
exposure to particles suspended in mines, industry and the general environment.
It is normally worn on the chest, but can also be placed in a fixed position in
the work zone or in any other place for ambient measurement.
More specifically its purpose is to sample particles that are a health risk (res-
pirable alveolar, thoracic and inhalable) in conformance with the CEN 481 and
ISO 7708 standards (see BIBLIOGRAPHY page 26).
To do that it has three interchangeable selectors. The selected and collected
particles can then be weighed to determine the concentration by weight, and
then analyzed and the components measured.
2. NOMENCLATURE
! CIP 10 base name of the sampler instrument equipped with a rotating
cup and foam (Personal Dust Sampler[Capteur Individuel de Poussières])
! CIP 10 M instrument equipped with cup for liquid sampling for microor-
ganisms (Personal Microbiological Pollutant Sampler [Capteur Individuel
de Polluants Microbiologiques])
! CIP 10 R or CIP 10 MR instrument equipped the with selector for
Respirable alveolar particle fraction
! CIP 10 T or CIP 10 MT instrument equipped with the selector for
Thoracic particle fraction
! CIP 10 I or CIP 10 MI instrument equipped with selector for Inhalable
particle fraction.

OVERVIEW

3. ARCHITECTURE
The instrument has the shape of a long compact block, having a cylindrical
selector and rotating cup for collecting selected particles in its upper part,
and a flat box enclosing the operating components in the lower part: motor,
batteries and electrical control circuit. The box’s shape makes it easy to wear
on the chest using a harness or carry in a shirt pocket.
PROPERTIES
The CIP10 has the following distinctive properties:
!Small, compact, lightweight, reduced noise level,
!Modular architecture makes it possible to measure all the different fractions
defined by the standards by using appropriate selectors and flow rates,
!Omnidirectional inlet with protective cover blocking accidental, undesirable
penetration of large particles or water drops,
!Operates in every position, unaffected by movement,
!Robust construction of reinforced, antistatic plastic,
!High constant flow rate,
!Possibility of reusing filtering components,
!High collection safety through:
• special locking screws
• on off switching by magnetic effect
• led working indicator
!Intrinsically safe material conforming to the European standards for use in
explosive atmospheres (see NOTICE OF ATEX INSTRUCTIONS on page 2).

PARTICLE SELECTORS
The CIP10 equipped with these selectors samples the aerosols according to
the conventional curves described in the European standard NF EN 481
except for the case of very fine particles.
In fact, the
CIP10 ’s collection principal generates a discharge of very fine
particles (like the human body). The CIP 10 R thereby really does sample the
alveolar deposit.
1. R ESPIRABLE A LVEOLAR F RACTION P ARTICLE S ELECTOR FOR THE CIP 10 R OR CIP 10 MR
The selection of respirable alveolar particles is made by impact on a 45 grade
(45 pores per linear inch) polyurethane foam followed by selective filtration by
another foam of the same grade. The fractions of aerosols obtained are in
agreement with the CEN AFNOR 481 and ISO 7708 standards, except for very
fine particles.
