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
information:

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.
