Getting Started
The LiQuilaz® II E and S Series Liquid Particle Counters are sensors designed to
measure particles in liquids. A sensor contains a liquid handling and optical system as
well as electronics that measure the size of the particles sampled and transmit data to
the data display system.
The sensor requires AC power, connections to bring the liquid to the sensor, and a
connection to a data display system. Particle Measuring Systems supplies several
software packages that support the LiQuilaz II, including Facility Net, Pharmaceutical
Net, SamplerSight, or SamplerSight-Pharma software.
The LiQuilaz II E Series Liquid Particle Counter has the following variations:
LiQuilaz II E20P
A 20 mL per minute version that is intended for use with the SLS-2000 sampler.
LiQuilaz II E20
A 70 mL per minute version that is intended for an online installation.
LiQuilaz II E15P
A 20 mL per minute version that is intended for use with the SLS-2000 sampler or
online installation.
The LiQuilaz II S Series Liquid Particle Counter has the following variations:
LiQuilaz II S05
A 80 mL per minute version with 0.5 µm sensitivity.
LiQuilaz II S03
A 80 mL per minute version with 0.3 µm sensitivity.
LiQuilaz II S02
A 50 mL per minute version with 0.2 µm sensitivity.
NOTE: All S units are also available in a 20 mL per minute flowrate version.

Unpacking and Connection
If the shipping container shows signs of damage such as crushing, depressions, water
damage, etc. be sure to notify the shipper and Particle Measuring Systems before
continuing. Notify Particle Measuring Systems at 1-877-475-3317, or
[email protected]om. Follow any instructions you receive on how to proceed.
If the shipping container appears to be in good condition, continue to carefully unpack
