GB
Overview
Parker Hannifin’s icountPDR is an on-line laser particle detector. This mineral based hydraulic fluid
contamination detector is designed for use in robust areas and is housed in a stainless steel IP69
approved enclosure.
The unit has two 06L EO 24° cone-end hydraulic connections (for use with Ø6mm pipe) that allow
fluid to be transferred through the unit for analysis. The electrical supply and communication is
made via an M12 Ultra Lock IP69 approved connector.
Conditions for safe use
Do not open the unit!
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 be suitable for
calibrated use.
‘RH’ limitations
Extended exposure to >90% Relative Humidity causes an irreversible shift in performance. Store the
unit in dry conditions.
Laser Information
This product contains an infrared 5mW laser.
Any dismantling of the product may result in dangerous exposure to laser radiation.
The following laser information is on a label on the top surface of the product:
CAUTION: Users are not required to access the laser radiation source and should never
do so.
The internal laser warning label is mounted on the laser module and contains the following

Introduction
Parker Hannifin’s icountPDR represents the most up-to-date technology in solid particle
contamination analysis. The icountPDR 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 icountPDR measures particle contamination continuously and updates the 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 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 icountPDR 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 5 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 icountPDR is to small slugs of contaminant, but it can also reduce the performance on clean
systems. Thus, the user can select how sensitive the icountPDR 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 icountPDR, updated on a second-by-second basis, giving an effectively
continuous readout of the level of contamination.
Calibration recommendations
NOTE: Any servicing or repair work must be carried out by a Parker approved service
centre. Contact your local Parker Hannifin Sales Company for recalibration details. The
recommended period between recalibration is 12 months.
Please refer to the Parker Hannifin Quality and Servicing Booklet (FDCB272UK), supplied on CD.

Connections
Hydraulic connection
Our recommendation is to position the icountPDR 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.
The icountPDR is supplied with two 06L EO 24° cone-end hydraulic connections (for use with a
Ø6mm pipe).
For hydraulic connection, ensure that the hydraulic/pipe connection fitting is compatible with the
size 06L EO 24° cone bulkhead fitting (for use with a Ø6mm pipe).
Assembling the EO nut fitting
Step
1
Press the tube-end firmly into the assembly
core.
Turn back the nut for easy tube insertion and fit
the nut hand tight, then tighten the fitting until
you feel a sharp increase in resistance.
2Ensure the bulkhead fitting is held with a
10mm spanner and tighten (approximately 1 to
1½ turns).

CONNECTIONS GB
12 Parker Hannifin icountPDR
3Now remove the pipe and nut to check
assembly.
The gap between sealing ring and
retaining ring must be closed. A little
relaxation (approximately 0.2mm) is allowed.
If the gap is not closed: Check all
components, including the tube.
4Assemble the fitting until wrench-tight (without
spanner extension).
Tighten the fitting firmly by a minimum 1/6
(max ¼) turn (i.e. 1 to 1½ flats)
Flow control
Low to medium viscosity flow control option
A pressure compensated, flow control device (ACC6NN023) has
been developed to allow testing where flow ranges are outside
the icountPDR specifications (i.e. 40–140 ml/min), or where pipe
diameters do not allow the icountPDR to be installed directly.
The flow control device fits onto the downstream (outlet) side of
the icountPDR.
A 06L-G1/8A female adapter is provided for use with a Ø6mm pipe, that enables connection
directly to the icountPDR. Alternatively, the flow control device an be fitted further down stream. For
further information please contact Parker Hannifin.
The compact design requires no setting up or further user intervention as long as the system
conditions remain within the recommended pressure and viscosity ranges as below.
Working pressure range 10 to 300bar
Differential pressure range 10 to 300bar
Working viscosity range 10 to 150 cSt

High viscosity flow control option
The flow control device (S840074) fits onto the downstream
(outlet) side of the icountPDR, connecting through a manifold
block via a self-sealing quick connection test point.
1/8" BSPP ports are provided on the inlet and outlet sides of the
mounting block.
The differential pressure valve automatically compensates for
pressure and viscosity changes, while maintaining its flow setting
even as the workload changes.
Working pressure range 10 to 300bar
Differential pressure range 10 to 300bar
Working viscosity range 90 to 500 cSt

IMPORTANT NOTE: P1 and P2 of the System 20 sensors MUST be connected to the
icountPDR test points. Ensure that the icountPDR command ‘SSU’ is set to ‘Yes’ when
connecting to icountPDR – refer to ‘Communication protocol’ section of this manual for
a list of user commands.

Electrical connections
The M12 12-pin Ultra Lock connection system uses innovative push-to-lock technology to make a
quick but secure connection. The unique O-ring radial seal is operator-independent, so there is no
chance of over-tightening or under-tightening.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The IP69 Ingress Protection is only valid when using the M12 Ultra
Lock mating connector cable (supplied).
CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING
Ensure that the locating pin and slot are correctly aligned (to avoid damaging the pins) and push
home firmly to connect. To disconnect, pull the Ultra Lock’s metal collar back to release the cable
lock and pull the cable boot out squarely.
WIRING DIAGRAMS
Wiring diagrams are provided (on pages 17–18), showing how a digital multimeter may be
connected to the Communication and Supply cable, for both voltage and current options. The
connections for an optional moisture sensor (if fitted) are also shown.
A diagram for connecting the icountPDR to an external CAN-bus network is given on page 19.
