their sizes.
The REMOTE 1100 or 1104 is effective in ultra-clean areas (such as
Class 1 or Class 10) as well as in more traditional cleanzones rated as
Class 100 or higher. They were designed for continuous 24/7
operation. Data is stored in a rotating buffer of 999 records that can be
downloaded real-time or manually as required.
Using an external vacuum source, the instrument can be installed
anywhere power and vacuum are available and where space may be
limited. These instruments integrate seamlessly with large facility
monitoring/management systems and transfer up to 8 channels of
simultaneous particle count data using RS-485/Modbus output. Refer
to Specifications in this chapter for additional instrument information.
Terms Used
Throughout this publication, the terms REMOTE 1100 or 1104 ;
REMOTE ; R1100 or R1104 ; instrument ; and counter are used
interchangeably to describe these instruments. These terms are
referring to the same thing.
R1100 vs
R1104
The main difference between the two instruments is how they
communicate and connect to monitoring systems:
The R1100 uses CEMS communication (pulses over a simple two-
wire network); when a particle is detected, a pulse is generated that
communicates the size based on the channel in which it was
detected.
The R1104 uses MODBUS communication, which is an intelligent
communication scheme that provides instrument status in addition
to on-board data storage and is programmable by the data
monitoring equipment.
Accessories
Both REMOTEs come standard with a 1.0 CFM purge filter but can be
ordered with several accessories to tailor the instrument to special
requirements. Please contact a Lighthouse Sales Engineer for detailed
additional information.
Annual
Calibration
The manufacturer recommends that the Lighthouse instrument be
calibrated annually by a Certified Lighthouse Service Provider to
ensure that it continues to perform within specification.
