Determine the full scale value with the estimate of the maximum cumulative particle counts at the
sensitivity of the instrument, >2 μm. When the value is determined, calculate the estimated full scale
value for other channels with the applicable divisor. Refer to

Complete a SCADA calculation
When the values are specified after each analog output for the lower limit, the upper limit and the full
scale, the SCADA programmer enters the values for: The channel range, the upper size limit and the
full scale value. The lower limit (4 mA) will always be 0 counts. In all cases, the lower limit signal
(4 mA) will be 0 (zero) particles, the upper limit signal (20 mA) will be equal to the full scale value.
The full scale value must then be divided by the sample volume (mL sample).
For example: If the sample flow rate is 100 mL/min, a count period of 30 seconds, the sample volume
result is 50 mL. The maximum expected particle count is 1000 particles/mL. Then, the FS value =
1000 particles/mL x 50 mL = 50,000 CH0 set to cumulative particle counts > 2 μm. Refer to

To make an estimate for the divisors of the values that are not shown in the table, use the
formula that follows: Divisor = (Size/2)

Divide by the value that value equals the mL sample used to calculate the full scale value.
