RS232, 4-20mA, 0-3/0-5V and CANBUS (J1939) outputs • icountPD with or without a Mositure Sensor • icountPD fitted with the fixed 5 metre cable, Deutsch connector or M12 connector. • EN61000-6-3:2001 Electromagnetic compatibility – Part 6-3: Generic standards – Emission standard for residential, commercial and light-industrial environments.
The shorter the Measurement Period the more sensitive the icountPD is to small slugs of contaminant, but also the performance on clean systems can be reduced. Thus, the user can select how sensitive the icountPD is to spikes of contaminant, and how quickly it responds to contamination levels above the set point (‘limits’).

Fluid compatibility Blue band = Mineral based oils Red band = Phosphate ester oils.
If these test points are not required please contact Parker Hannifin for alternative options. Note that the phosphate ester oil version of the icountPD is supplied with 5/8 inch BSF hydraulic test points.
IMPORTANT NOTE: P1 and P2 of the System 20 sensors MUST be connected to the icountPD test points. Ensure that the icountPD command ‘SSU’ is set to ‘Yes’ when connecting to icountPD – refer to ‘Communication protocol’ section of this manual for a list of user commands.

Enter the communication settings (as in the ‘standard communications settings’ table, on the previous page). Step 6: Once the icountPD is connected to power, the product identification is displayed. This identifies successful communication to icountPD. The icountPD is now ready for operation.
SoFtWaRE Communication protocol The commands used with the icountPD are either made up of Set, Read or Start/Stop commands. Set commands allow the value or values of parameters to be changed Read commands allow the value or values of parameters to be read Start/Stop commands allow the user to start and stop tests.
