Hazardous Material Leakage Procedure
WARNING If the hazardous contaminant is an
1. Test with litmus paper and continue neutralization until neutral pH (7) is
achieved.
2. If allowed by local environmental regulations, flush the neutralized
contaminant down the drain (not a storm sewer) with a volume of clean water
at least 100 times the volume of the neutralized contaminant.
3. If local regulations do not allow draining of the neutralized contaminant,
contain it appropriately and have it disposed of by a hazardous waste disposal
firm.
4. To prevent corrosion, internally-contaminated instruments must be air dried
following clean-up and before reassembly.
5. Chlorinated solvents, organic solvents, or other chemicals should be contained
for recycling or disposal by a hazardous waste disposal firm.
6. Using clean water, flush the instrument until it is free of chemicals.
Be sure to air dry the instrument before reassembly, packing and shipping. Fill the
liquid particle counters’ sample cells with a Particle Measuring Systems-approved
cleaning solution and then seal the particle counter’s inlet and outlet ports.
– — NOTICE: — –
Do not ship contaminated instruments to Particle Measuring Systems for repair
without first draining and flushing the instrument with large amounts of water!
– — NOTICE: — –
Particle Measuring Systems cannot service instruments that have been
contaminated with radioactive materials.

HSLIS e-Series Operations Manual 1-1
Chapter 1
Introduction
The HSLIS e-Series particle counter
models include:
• HSLIS M50e
• HSLIS M65e
• HSLIS M100e
Figure 1-1 HSLIS-M50e particle counter
These High Sensitivity Liquid In Situ Monitors (HSLIS) sample DI water or process
chemicals to measure the presence of particles. These instruments use laser
illumination with a high resolution optical system, collecting particle-scattered light
over the range of angles ± 40°. Sizing is accomplished in situ by means of pulse height
analysis (PHA) of the scattered light.
An HSLIS e-Series particle counter is normally used with an Ethernet connection to
Facility Net1 software running on a PC. The particle counter can also output 4-20 mA
signals to PLC and SCADA systems.
The HSLIS e-Series particle counters detect 0.05, 0.065, and 0.1 mm and larger sized
particles, sizing them into four channels. The sensitivity of an HSLIS instrument is
model-dependent (see Specifications on page 1-3).
The laser used in an HSLIS e-Series particle counter is a solid state device. The optical
system includes condensing elements and collecting optics. The numerical aperture of
the primary objective collecting optics provides a large solid angle for collecting
particle scattering light. All glass optical elements are A-R (Anti-Reflective) coated for
minimal light loss.
The Scattering Photodetector Module in an HSLIS e-Series particle counter houses a
photodiode detector and a high gain preamplifier. The amplified signals are delivered
to the PHA card and converted into pulsed data and distributed to the corresponding
size channel.

Unpacking & Installation
Unpacking
Unpack the HSLIS e-Series particle counter and ensure that all components have been
received.
Standard shipping list:
•Power cable
•RS-232 configuration cable with RJ-11 male connectors on each end
•DB-9 to RJ-11 adapter
•Ethernet crossover cable
•Operator’s manual
Inspect the unit for obvious damage. If damage is found, return all unpacked materials
to the shipping box and telephone the factory at 1-877-475-3317.
If anything is missing, contact Particle Measuring Systems Customer Response Center
at 1-877-475-3317, or [email protected].
If all of the materials are included and undamaged, store the packing materials. It is
important to keep these materials because warranties may not apply if return shipping
containers are inadequate.

Installation
Installation consists of the following activities:
•Moving the instrument to the area where it will be used.
See Moving the Instrument to the Work Area on page 2-3.
•Installing the instrument’s plumbing connections.
See Installing the Plumbing Connections on page 2-3.
•Installing the communications cables.
See Chapter 3 Set Up for Ethernet Communications.
•Installing the power connections.
See Connecting the Cables on page 2-4.
Moving the Instrument to the Work Area
See your work procedures for the rules about moving an instrument into controlled
areas.
Ensure that the intended instrument location is large enough and strong enough to
support the HSLIS e-Series instrument. See Specifications on page 1-3.
Installing the Plumbing Connections
The particle counter may be plumbed to flow in either direction. Downstream
restriction will preclude bubble formation in almost all sampling setups.
Position the HSLIS e-Series particle counter so that it is not difficult to reach the AC
power switch on the back panel.
Required materials:
•1/4-inch, 0.047-inch wall Teflon tubing
•Flaretek® fittings appropriate for the tube size
•Tube flaring tools
•A flow limiter with a range of 100 – 300 mL/min
>> To connect the plumbing:
1. Connect 1/4-inch, 0.047-inch wall Teflon tubing from the sample source to the
Flaretek sample inlet.
2. Connect the same type of tubing to the sample outlet.
3. Attach a downstream flow limiter.
4. Set the flow rate to 100 or 300 mL/min., depending on the specific model.
NOTE: It is recommended that the instrument’s bottom fitting be used for the
sample inlet.
