Introduction
Parker Hannifin’s icountPD represents the most up-to-date technology in solid particle
contamination analysis. The icountPD is a compact, permanently-mounted laser-based particle
detector module that provides a cost-effective solution to fluid management and contamination
control.
Principles of operation
The icountPD measures particle contamination continuously and updates the display, output
options and limit relay every second.
Unlike the Parker CM20, LCM20 or MCM20, the unit does not perform a ‘one-off’ test. This means
that even if the Measurement Period is set to 60 seconds, the display, output and limit relay all
report the presence of dirt in the oil in just a few seconds – it does not wait until the end of the
Measurement Period before reporting the result.
The icountPD has just one setting to control the accuracy, stability and sensitivity of the
measurements and that is the ‘Measurement Period’. This can be set from five seconds to 180
seconds. The longer the Measurement Period, the more contaminant is measured, averaging out
any spikes seen on a smaller sample. The shorter the Measurement Period the more sensitive
the icountPD is to small slugs of contaminant, but also the performance on clean systems can be
reduced. Thus, the user can select how sensitive the icountPD is to spikes of contaminant, and how
quickly it responds to contamination levels above the set point (‘limits’).
With a Measurement Period of 100 seconds, the results will be for the last 100ml of oil that
has flowed through the icountPD, updated on a second-by-second basis, giving an effectively
continuous readout of the level of contamination.
Calibration recommendations
Contact your local Parker Hannifin Sales Company for recalibration details. The recommended
period between recalibration is 12 months.
Refer to the Parker Hannifin Quality and Servicing booklet (FDCB272UK), supplied on CD.
Maintenance requirements
Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before any maintenance/inspection is carried out.
Please contact Parker Hannifin in the unlikely event of the icountPD being faulty or damaged.
Storage requirements
Store in dry conditions within a temperature range of -20°C to +40°C (-4°F to +104°F).

CONNECTIONS g

Connections
Hydraulic connection
Our recommendation is to position the icountPD as close to the system output as possible whilst
controlling the flow to the optimum 60ml/min. This then provides the highest pressure conditions,
plus the oil in this position is indicative of the reservoir’s oil condition.
For transportation, the icountPD is supplied with two test point covers: these need to be removed.
The mineral oil version of icountPD is supplied with M16 x 2 hydraulic test points. Parker
recommends that these are not removed or loosened. If these test points are not required please
contact Parker Hannifin for alternative options.
Note that the phosphate ester oil version of the icountPD is supplied with 5/8 inch BSF hydraulic
test points.
For Hydraulic connection:
1. Connect two pressure hoses to either end of the icountPD test points.
2. Connect the opposite end of the pressure hoses to the application.
NOTE: The connection of these test points should be ‘finger tight’ only.
Do not use spanners or wrenches.
Flow control
A pressure compensated, flow control device (Parker Hannifin
part number S840074) has been developed to give the icountPD
user greater flexibility. The flow control device enables testing
where flow ranges are outside the icountPD specifications (i.e.
40–140 ml/min), or where pipe diameters do not allow the
icountPD to be installed.
REQUIRED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE RANGE 5315 BAR
The flow control device fits onto the downstream (outlet) side of
the icountPD, connecting through a manifold block via a self-
sealing quick connection test point.
The differential pressure valve automatically compensates for
pressure and viscosity changes, whilst maintaining its flow
setting even as the workload changes.
The table below is used to select the appropriate valve position:
Valve position cSt range
320–100
3.8 90–200
4.2 190–320
5310–500

Size 1 24 to 100 l/min (optimum flow = 70 l/min)

The required differential pressure across inline sensors is
0.4 bar (minimum)
Refer to the ‘Sensor part numbers’ section on page 46
before ordering System 20 sensors.
See ‘Inline Sensor Monitors’ (Parker Hannifin Brochure
CM013GB1) for more information on System 20 sensors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: P1 and P2 of the System 20 sensors MUST be connected to the
icountPD test points. Ensure that the icountPD command ‘SSU’ is set to ‘Yes’ when
connecting to icountPD – refer to ‘Communication protocol’ section of this manual for
a list of user commands.
Contact Parker Hannifin if you require further advice in connecting icountPD to your system.
