Chapter 2 Unpacking and Connection

Identifying Components and Connections

Liquid Connections

The liquid connections to the LiQuilaz II S series liquid particle counters are made 
through either the 3 mm connections directly on the sensor or through the Flaretek

®

 

connections on the interface bracket (see 

Figure 2-11

). 

Sensors configured to operate with samplers will typically utilize 3 mm tubing. Sensors 
configured to operate online will typically utilize 1/4-inch (6 mm) Flaretek fittings.

Figure 2-11  

 LiQuilaz II Liquid Particle Counter (Online version)

Indicator Lights

An Activity LED and a Status LED are located on the front panel next to the liquid 
connections. The Activity LED is illuminated upon detection of each particle and failure 
of the laser. This indicator is used to easily verify proper operation of the unit.

The Status LED can be configured via a serial setup command (see 

“set led n” 

on 

page

 

G-2). Default configuration (

set led 1

) is below:

Flashing green

No Ethernet connection to host computer
