About this manual
Overview
Parker Hannifin’s icountBSplus is the latest in laser particle counting technology. This mineral oil or
aviation fuel contamination counter has been designed to provide accurate measurement results,
providing high standards of performance and product quality.
Its primary use is for laboratory conditions but is adaptable to allow its transport from one area to
another with minimal testing disruption.
With its Innovative touch screen technology, integrated battery power source and secure safe
operating parameters, the new icountBSplus will deliver the performance characteristics by meeting
accredited US Standards and achieving full ISO Certification to the latest ISO Medium Test Dust
standards.
The unit can be used in both on-line and off-line systems. The on-board power supply and
integrated battery allows the icountBSplus to be taken to places that laboratory equipment has
never gone before.

Introduction
Parker Hannifin’s icountBSplus represents the most up-to-date technology in solid particle
contamination analysis. The icountBSplus 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 icountBSplus measures particle contamination via a sample bottle or on line. The sampling
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
icountBSplus allows you to set the volume of the test sample and the number of measurements
taken for each bottle sample. 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 icountBSplus 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
center. Contact your local Parker Hannifin Sales Company for recalibration details. The
recommended period between recalibration is 12 months.
NOTE: Keep store the Parker Transit Packaging Case in a safe place as this is required to
return the icountBSplus to the Condition Monitoring Service Center for recalibration and
servicing.
