Introduction
Overview
This operating manual introduces the Lighthouse REMOTE Liquid
Particle Counter models RLPC 0.1
— m, RLPC 0.2 μ
m, RLPC 0.3 — m
and
RLPC 0.5 μ
m
. Included in this manual are instructions for operation,
communications and maintenance.
Description
The RLPC 0.1 — m, RLPC 0.2 μ
m, RLPC 0.3 — m
and RLPC 0.5 μ
m
have a
range of 0.1 - 0.5 — m, 0.2 - 2.0 — m, 0.3 - 3.0 — m and 0.5 - 5.0 — m at a
sensitivity of 0.1 micron, 0.2 micron, 0.3 micron and 0.5 micron,
respectively, using the LWS 4-20mA protocol.
With a
user-controlled
flow rate of 100 ml/min
, + 5%,
the RLPC sensors
are designed to accurately measure 2 channels of simultaneous particle
count data in various liquids including solvents, acids and bases (see
Table 2-5 and Table 2-6 for chemical compatibilities).

The instrument uses a LASER diode light source and LASER beam
shaping optics to illuminate a cross section of the liquid flow path. As
particles move through the flow cell, they enter the LASER beam and
scatter light. The light scattered is collected by the optical system and
