1.
Insert the
waste fluid hose
in the
waste
disposal bottle
provided.
Important:
Do not connect the waste fluid hose to a pres-
surized system; this will cause the analyzer to malfunction
and could cause internal leakage. Discharge the waste fluid
hose into the bottle provided, or into a tank or vessel vented
to the atmosphere.
2.
Connect the
waste fluid hose
to the waste connector port
on the analyzer. Push back the quick-coupling outer ring
before connecting or disconnecting the hose end.
3.
Connect the
fluid sampling hose
to the
HP connector
on the analyzer.
4.
Connect the
fluid sampling hose
to the system using a
minimess connector; the system to be monitored must
be more than 2 bar and less than 400 bar.
5.
Press the
green button
to switch on the analyzer; the
‘Main/Test’ progress screen will be displayed.
Note:
To improve LCD screen visibility, unlatch the two
extension feet on the case bottom and tilt the case. If LCD
screen remains blank, refer to battery charging instructions.

The Target-Pro 2 measures and quantifies solid contami-
nants in hydraulic, lubrication and transmission applications.
It is designed to provide laboratory accuracy in the field,
using mineral oil as the operating fluid.
The analyzer uses the light extinction principle, in which
two lasers are projected through the fluid and toward photo
diodes. Particles that interrupt the beams reduce the light
received by the diode; their sizes are measured by changes in
condition.
Hydraulic and lubricating systems
contain metal parts that
move continuously, with hydraulic fluid as the power medium.
The fluid also creates a lubrication film to keep precision
parts separated, and serves as a cooling medium.
By their nature, hydraulic systems produce solid particulate
contaminants. When contamination exceeds set levels,
hydraulic systems can fail. A revised standard cleanliness
code, ISO 4406, classifies the numbers of particles that can
be tolerated; the Target-Pro 2 measures the levels ofthese
contaminants.
The international standard for reporting solid contaminants is
ISO 4406. This standard has been revised to incorporate the
change to ISO Medium Test Dust as the calibration
standard.
