About this Manual
Overview
Parker Hannifin’s icountOS is a laser particle oil sampler.
This mineral or aviation fuel based fluid contamination detector is designed for use in adverse
conditions and is housed in an HPX®High Performance Resin case. With its Vortex®valve allowing
pressure release without letting in water and its soft handle, icountOS has been designed with
customers in mind, offering durability, functionality and future customisation options.
Durable HPX®case Vortex®pressure release valve Double-layer soft grip handle
The unit has two hydraulic connections that allow the fluid to be transferred through the unit
for analysis. The icountOS (IOS1220) is supplied with low pressure hoses (ACC6NN031) and a
Pressure Reducing Valve (ACC6NN027). The High pressure hose (ACC6NN034) is also available
when connecting a PRV to your system.
The electrical supply is made via an M12 Round IP67-approved connector and the communications
is made via an RJ45 IP68-approved connector. The unit is rated IP54 (unit open) and IP67 (unit
closed).

Symbol glossary
The following symbols are used in this manual.
WARNING
Warning notices are used in this publication to emphasize that hazardous
voltages, currents, temperatures, or other conditions that could cause
personal injury exist in this equipment or may be associated with its use.
A Warning notice is used in situations where inattention or misuse could
cause personal injury.
CAUTION
A Caution notice is used in situations where inattention or misuse could
cause damage to the equipment. If the equipment is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protection/performance may be impaired.
CHECK
Notes merely call attention to information that is especially significant to
understanding and operating the equipment. You may need to check the
orientation or tightness of connections, for example.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Some operations require special attention to safety, such as the use of
safety glasses. Contact your local Parker Hannifin sales office if you have any
concerns.
SERVICE/REPAIR
Any servicing or repair work must be carried out by a Parker-approved
service centre. Contact your local Parker Hannifin sales office for recalibration
services.
WARNING
A red band around a picture or instruction is used to emphasize that
particular care is required to avoid the danger of personal injury or other
hazard.
CAUTION
A yellow band around a picture or instruction is used to emphasize that
particular care is required in carrying out the instruction. Examples are
checking that plugs are ‘keyed’ (i.e. correctly polarized) before they are fully
inserted, or that hoses are fitted carefully so they do not leak.
Safety information
Please read the operating instructions before use and refer to this Handbook whenever appropriate
during use.
Before operating the icountOS ensure all electrical connections, hoses and fittings are securely fitted
to the appropriate standards.
Check all hoses and fittings for wear and or damage. If replacements are required please order
new parts using the Accessory Part Numbers on the Ordering Information section (page 29).
Replace any loose or leaking hoses immediately.
WARNING: High pressure oil or fuel systems can present a danger of serious personal
injury.

Laser Information
This product contains an infrared 5mW laser.
Any dismantling of the product may result in dangerous exposure to laser radiation. The following
information about the laser is on a label on the top surface of the product.
WARNING: Users are not required to access the laser radiation source and should
never do so.
Exclusion of Liability
Parker has made every endeavour to ensure the accuracy of the content of this document, however
errors cannot be ruled out. Consequently, we accept no liability for such errors as may exist or for
any damage or loss whatsoever which may arise as a result of such errors.
All details are subject to technical modifications. Technical specifications are subject to change
without notice.
Conditions for safe use
To ensure compliance with the certification, users are NOT permitted to open the unit under any
circumstances. Doing so will invalidate the unit’s calibration and it would NOT subsequently be
suitable for calibrated use.

Introduction
Parker Hannifin’s icountOS represents the most up-to-date technology in solid particle
contamination analysis. The icountOS is a compact, durable, lightweight integrated laser-
based particle detector module that provides a cost-effective solution to fluid management and
contamination control.
Principles of operation
The icountOS measures particle contamination continuously and updates the output options every
second. The interval can be defined by the user so that measurements may be taken as often as
required.
In contrast to other Parker particle counters (such as the CM20, LCM20, ACM20 or MCM20), the
icountOS allows the user to set the duration of the test and frequency of the measurements taken.
The results are reported immediately, but also stored in the unit’s internal memory and may be
downloaded later for analysis by third-party applications (such as Microsoft®Excel).
The icountOS has high levels of controlled accuracy, stability and sensitivity.
Servicing and calibration
Please refer to the Parker Hannifin Quality and Servicing Booklet (FDCB272UK), supplied on CD.
NOTE: Any servicing or repair work must be carried out by a Parker approved service
centre. See page 31 for details.

Low pressure connection setup
We recommend that the icountOS is positioned in a safe, stable area, as close as possible to the
system output and only the hose fittings provided are used.
CAUTION: The correct connection methods and safety standards must be applied
when fitting the icountOS onto a pressure system. Please follow the instructions in this
Handbook, or contact Parker Hannifin for advice if in doubt.
CAUTION: If there is any fluid leakage or residue around the inlet or outlet ports, please
clean with an appropriate lint-free cloth and cleaning materials.
