Installation guidelines

the air inlet fitting.
IMPORTANT
• Install the instrument indoors in a clean, dry, well ventilated, temperature controlled location
with minimum vibration.
• If the room is washed down at regular intervals, install the instrument outside of the room. Only
the air inlet and vacuum tubes tube will go into the clean room. As an alternative, put the
instrument in the clean room in a sealed box. Connect all tubes and cables to the instrument
through the box. Operation of the instrument in an enclosed box may increase the temperature
around the instrument and decrease the performance and life of the instrument.
• Do not operate the instrument in direct sunlight or next to a heat source.
• Install the instrument as close to the sample source as possible. Make sure that the distance is
not more than 3 m (10 ft). An inlet tube length longer than 3 m (10 ft) can cause a loss of particles
larger than 1 μm. If an inlet tube length longer than 3 m (10 ft) is necessary, compare the results
between a portable particle counter and this instrument.
• Keep the air flow in a constant downward direction. When possible, mount the instrument
directly below the sample point.
