Do not proceed beyond a caution indicator without understanding the hazard.
Setting Up 2.1. Unpacking When you unpack the Nephelometer and accessories, inspect the carton for obvious damage. If the carton is damaged notify the carrier. Unpack everything and make a visual inspection. You should have the following: 1. Nephelometer 2. 100-240 VAC to 8.4 VDC Lithium Ion Smart Charger w/ power cord 3.
2.2. Familiarization Protective Inlet Cover Iso-kinetic Inlet Flow Adjust Select/Mode Charging Jack ON/OFF / Sample Zero Cap Item Description Charging Jack Plug Lithium Ion charger module into the jack to charge the batteries. Protective Inlet Cover Protects the unit from dust entering inlet during storage. Iso-kinetic Inlet Reduces count errors due to mismatched sample flow velocity.
USB port on the user’s computer. Each sample event records a time, date, serial number, environmental setting and an average concentration. Several special features have been included in the 80570 that make it easy to use. 2.3.2. Environmental Factors Environmental Factors allow the user to match the Nephelometer to specific conditions of the area to be monitored.
2.3.5. Selectable Sample Modes In MANUAL (M) mode a timed one minute measurement cycle begins and upon completion of the measurement cycle, the collected data is stored. During the measurement cycle the real time data is displayed, at the end of the measurement cycle the average concentration is displayed until the operator either pushes Start/Stop again or the Select button is depressed.
(WARNING: see section 3.2 – Battery Pack for instructions and safety). Press the Start/Stop button to turn the unit on. The startup screen will appear for 3 seconds followed by the main screen. SENSIDYNE NEPHELOMETER Startup Screen 1,234 ug/m3...

The Select Key can only be used when the unit is not sampling. Pressing the Select key will display the Select screen.
2.9. Zero Calibration The 80570-8200 software will place the unit into a zero calibration mode. The display indicates the following when zero calibrating. This process is completely automated and only requires the user to install the zero cap over the inlet.
Trouble Shooting and Maintenance There are no user serviceable parts inside of the unit. 3.1. Errors and Alarms Certain operational failures are displayed and recorded in the Alarm Log. In the event of one of the following errors, the error is shown on the second line of the display.
3.1.3. Counter Error The output of the optical engine is a frequency. There is always frequency of >1000 pulses per second regardless of actual concentration measured. If the output falls below this value the sensor is no longer functioning correctly. 1,234 ug/m3 SENSOR FAULT The unit will display SENSOR FAULT and operation will be suspended.
3.2. Battery Pack WARNING: There are no user serviceable components inside the Nephelometer. Do not attempt to change the internal battery pack. The wrong battery pack could cause serious damage, a fire, or explosion. The Nephelometer should be sent to a service center where a factory qualified person would change and properly dispose of the battery pack.
3.3. Filter The Nephelometer has a 0.2 micron filter to produce the clean air for the sheath system. This filter will normally need to be changed on an annual basis but may require a more frequent change if used in extremely dirty environments. Remove the filter element by unscrewing the filter holder cap.
Sensor, vacuum pump requires access to the inside of the Nephelometer and a factory-authorized person must do this. Contact Sensidyne, LP for service information, including a Return Material Authorization (RMA) Number.
3.6. Troubleshooting WARNING: There are no user serviceable components inside this instrument. The covers on this instrument should not be removed or opened for servicing, calibration or any other purpose except by a factory-authorized person. To do so may result in exposure to visible laser radiation that can cause blindness. A factory-authorized person should perform replacement of the sensor, vacuum pump, filter or any component inside the Nephelometer.
