Chapter 1
Introduction
The IsoAir 310P particle sensor is designed to provide cleanroom and isolator
monitoring. When environmental particles go out of specification, the instrument can
initiate an alarm to halt operation and help identify the cause.
The IsoAir 310P particle sensor generates its own vacuum with an internal pump with
HEPA-filtered discharge. The pump-generated vacuum delivers a stream of sample air
to the sensor. Sample flow is monitored and reported with a patented three-pressure
transducer system.
Available options include:
1Three 4-20 mA outputs: one for fault status and two for particle counts
2Three 4-20 mA inputs for environmental sensors and 5 solid state outputs for a
possible local light control tower to mimic the local LEDs
3Wireless communication
To manage the data, the IsoAir 310P particle sensor integrates all data into a single
record and sends this record to the FacilityPro or Facility Net FMS system. FacilityPro
can be programmed to monitor and archive the data, print reports, generate and
manage alarms, and so on. Additional communication protocols include Modbus and
OPC for wider third-party system integration. Communications can also be done via
Ethernet using Particle Measuring Systems protocols into customer systems.

Front Panel
The front panel includes two LED's, the status light and the activity light.
Status Light
The Status light (three-color LED) indicates the operational status of the instrument
and is programmable.
Activity Light
The Activity LED flashes when particles are detected.

The top of the enclosure contains the sample inlet port.
Bottom
The bottom of the enclosure contains the power and communication connections as
well as the exhaust port. Power and communications are made through the two
factory-supplied conduit cable glands.

Specifications
Particle Measuring Systems reserves the right to change specifications without notice.
Table 1-1 Specifications
Channel Options Model 310P: 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, and 5.0 µm.
Data output can also be set to 0.5 and 5.0µm only.
Flow rate 1.0 CFM (28.3 LPM).
Vacuum source Internal reciprocal blower is quiet, cool-running, long-lived, with no
contaminating carbon vanes. Pump output is HEPA filtered, and
discharged from the bottom of the enclosure.
Pump shutoff An automatic shutoff activates if the pump fails, or if the system
detects that the probe cap is on the sample probe while the pump is
running. The system may try to restart, based on the user-defined
configuration.
