  • Page 9: Working And Testing

    Working and Testing The icountBS is capable of entrapped gas suppression and supplying a fixed amount of oil to test. Because of this it is able to eliminate many of the variables associated with contamination monitoring. The oil sample is degassed using suppressed, cleaned air and then supplied, through a fixed displacement pumping system.

  • Page 10: Fluid Sample Extraction

    The bottle should not contain more than one tenth of the number of particles per 100ml than are expected to be monitored. Standard Parker Hannifin bottles are supplied clean to ISO 13/11 or better in a Class 10,000 Clean Room and should not be used to accurately count oils cleaner than ISO 16/14 although they may be used for “trend monitoring”...

  • Page 11: A) Touch Screen Instructions

    It is important that whatever practices are adopted by the user, they are performed consistently. Internal Compressor Parker recommends that the icountBS is connected to the mains supply at all times and rear panel battery switch switched to ‘on’. For operation of the icountBS with the internal compressor requires the internal battery to be charged before use.

  • Page 12: B) Product Set-Up

    If available, Parker Hannifin recommends connecting shop air to ‘SHOP AIR’ inlet on rear panel on icountBS. If not the icountBS will operate using the internal compressor – ensure that the internal battery is charged.

  • Page 21: Interpreting Data

    Solid contaminants in fluid power systems vary in size, shape, form and quantity. The most harmful contaminants are normally between 6 microns and 14 microns. The ISO code is the preferred method of reporting quantity of contaminants. The ISO code number corresponds to contamination levels pertaining to three sizes.
