keys at the Manifold Controller. At the Particle Counter, use the four arrow keys to
display the desired size range, then press and hold the “Enter” key to display the alarm setting for
that size range.
Starting The Sampling Routine
Once the sampling routine has been satisfactorily programmed and the desired alarm limits are
copied, the system is ready to operate. Ensure Manifold Controller is in Remote and Particle
Counter is in Automatic mode. Turn on the Vacuum Pump supplying vacuum to the manifold system
and press “Run” on the Particle Counter. The Manifold will begin sampling from the first
programmed port and proceed through the sampling routine until it is complete.
Using the Alarm Module Option
Each alarm module provides a remote alarm contact for up to 17 alarms (16 port alarms plus an
"Any" alarm when one or more port alarms are on). The alarm output signals are available through a
connector on alarm module and provide latched outputs that are triggered by count alarms. The
alarm module also pr12 V @ 2 A and +5 V @ 2 A to power relays for alarm-driven devices
when a count alarm is detected. Two alarm modules are required for simultaneously monitoring all
32 ports.
