1.3 Unpacking and installation
1.3.1 Unpacking
The CI-154 is packed in a specially designed shipping container, which has been
tested to withstand normal amounts of shock and vibration in accordance with the
National Safe Transit Association (NSTA). Save the shipping box to minimize the
chance of shipping damage when the instrument needs to be returned for calibration
or repair.
After unpacking the CI-154, inspect the instrument for any signs of damage. If there
is any damage, you should file a claim with the shipping company and contact
Climet Instruments.
1.3.2 Power requirements
The CI-154 is equipped with a universal input AC power supply that supports inputs
from 100–240 VAC, 47–63 Hz.
1.3.3 Safety
The operator or maintenance person should not remove any of the covers on the
Climet particle counter except in accordance with the procedures provided by the
manufacturer. Unauthorized disassembly can result in exposure to laser light.
The CI-154 contains a 9.6 Volt, maintenance-free, rechargeable nickel metal hydride
battery, which can be replaced by the user.
The CI-154 comes with a three prong, grounded AC power cord. Failure to make a
proper earth ground connection may result in a shock hazard and may damage the
instrument. Do not use a two-to-three prong adapter unless its ground connection
has been properly connected to a good ground on the wall socket.
1.3.4 Handling
Although the particle counter has a rugged stainless steel enclosure, the operator
should exercise proper care when carrying or transporting the unit. Hard blows to
the exterior of the instrument may cause damage. Particular care needs to be
exercised to prevent impacts to the display which may result in cracking the
relatively thin touch screen glass.
1.3.5 Cleaning
The CI-154’s stainless steel enclosure and overlay are resistant to most cleaning
chemicals. When cleaning the unit, follow these precautions:
 Turn the unit off and remove the power cord.
 Cap the inlet or attach a sample probe (with the sample head either
capped, pointed down, or away) to prevent fluid from entering the
unit.
 Cover the electrical connectors with the caps provided.
 Wipe the surface of the unit with a cloth or wipe, dampened with
cleaning solutions. Do not allow the cleaning solution to saturate the
printer mechanism.
