If the REMOTE-4PN is involved in a new installation, power should be OFF at 
both ends, cables installed and power applied to the REMOTE-4PN then hub.  
If power cannot be removed from the hub end, make sure the REMOTE-4PN 
is powered OFF before connecting the data cable.

Operation

Understanding the LEDs

Note: 

The REMOTE-

4PN incorporates a pump 
protection circuit that turns 
the pump OFF if the Inlet 
air supply is blocked.  To 
restore the instrument to 
normal operation, clear the 
obstruction, open the 
cover, turn the switch OFF, 
wait a few seconds and 
turn the switch ON.  The 
pump should start.

The front-panel LEDs have specific meanings when illuminated. 
Figure 3-21 shows location of the LEDs and gives a brief description of 
their meaning.  

Figure 3-21  Front Panel LEDs

The green POWER LED turns on when the instrument is powered 
on.  

The green FLOW LED turns on when the flow is within 
specification (programmed parameters) and will blink when flow is 
out of specification.

The orange SERVICE LED will turn on and remain steady if Laser 
power is out of range, the sensor optics are dirty, the view volume 
contains foreign objects or the Calibration has come due on the 
instrument.  If calibration is due, the LED illuminates during 
sampling mode until the instrument has been calibrated.

The blue SAMPLING LED indicates the Sample mode is active.
