Resetting the Default Sampling Routine
To restore all 32 ports to active sampling status, press in turn, “Local”; “Program”; “Enable All
Ports”; and “Enter” keys.
To completely reset the manifold controller to factory default settings and clear the memory of all
programming, turn the power switch on the rear of the controller to the off position, and, while
holding down the “Program” key, turn it back on.
Setting Alarm Limits
The alarm limits for the various particle size channels in the Particle Counter may be copied into the
Manifold Controller memory so that each sample point may have unique count alarm limits. Figure
10 and the following example demonstrates the steps to set alarm limits for the system, using the
sampling routine previously described under “Programming a Detailed Sampling Routine.”
At the
Manifold Controller
:
1. Press “Local” key, verify LED is lit. Two digit
display will briefly blink the first scan step (00)
and then display the associated port number (01)
2. Press “Program” key, verify LED is lit.
At the
Particle Counter
: Verify the counter is
displaying the particle size range in the 3 digit LED
and is not running.
3. Press

keys to display the desired
size range.
4. Press “Program” to display alarm limits for
the selected size range.
5. Use the four arrow keys to set the digits to
the desired alarm limit.
6. Press “Enter” to save settings.
7. Repeat steps 3 – 6 for each desired size range
At the
Manifold Controller
:
8. Press “Copy” key to copy alarm limits from the
Particle Counter to the Manifold Controller for that
scan step and port number
9. Press “Next” key to advance to the next scan step
(01) and port number (07) in the sample routine.
Note: The “Back” key may be pressed to return to
a previous scan step.
10. Repeat steps 3 – 9 for the remaining scan steps and
press “Enter” when all alarm settings have been copied.
If programming of alarm limits in all 32 ports is desired, each port may be selected in turn by using
the

keys on the manifold controller instead of the “Next” and “Back” keys. To view the
Alarm settings for the sampling routine after copying is complete, select the desired scan step using
