CAUTION Danger due to improper handling! Material damage! The OPCom Particle Monitor may only be used in accordance with Section 2-2, “Intended use”. Leakage or spillage of hydraulic fluid! Environmental pollution and ground water pollution! Use oil binding agents in order to bind leaked hydraulic oil.
The larger the particle, the greater the reduction in intensity. The OPCom Particle Monitor allows users to monitor the contamination level and the trend regarding cleanliness of fluids. Differen- ces in absolute precision may arise compared to particle counters calibrated according to ISO 11171:99. However, the deviation is less than one scale number.

(according to ISO 4406:17), the measuring time should be at least 120 seconds. Standard setting for the measuring time is 60 seconds. 11.2.1 Time-controlled measurement The OPCom Particle Monitor works with the set measuring time and pause times between measurements. The following settings are to be observed: Parameter Min.

In a hydraulic system short-term increases in concentration (peaks) may arise, which are not representative for the overall system, e.g. by operating a manual valve. The OPCom detects these changes and displays them correctly. The low-pass filter ensures that when an alarm is set according to chapter 12.3.1.1 and 12.3.1.2, it is not triggered at each peak.
Output independent from the set standard. ISO, SAE and NAS can be shown on GOST 17216 the display, GOST is however issued via the analog current output. Table 14: Configuration of the analog current output Page 26 www.argo-hytos.com Subject to change · V 2.02.20 · EN...
Configuration flow 11.6.1 Automatic In addition to the particle size and number of particles, the OPCom Particle Monitor also calculates a volume flow index to be able to evaluate the particle concentration. The calculated flow rate index is not an exact measurement of the volume flow. It is an internal calculation value, which may be used as an indicator during installation and commissioning of the unit.

17. Classification systems The automatic particle counter (APC). which is used for the calibration of the OPCom particle monitor is primary calibrated according to ISO 11171. The ordinal numbers of the OPCom particle monitor are displayed according to ISO 4406. these are determined by the measured particle concentration for 4.
The NAS 1638 is divided into different size classes. 5-15µm, 15-25µm, 25-50µm, … The particles are counted differentially and not accumulated as in ISO 4406. The OPCom can only measure the sizes 4, 6, 14, 21 µm. Therefore, the cleanliness class is calculated only based on NAS 1638.
The GOST 17216 is divided into different size classes. 5-15µm, 15-25µm, 25-50µm, … The particles are counted differentially and not accumulated as in ISO 4406 The OPCom can only measure the sizes 4, 6, 14, 21 µm. Therefore, the cleanliness class is calculated only based on GOST 17216.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner for cleaning. Close all openings with suitable protective caps / devices. Check that all seals and caps of the plug-in connections are secure, so that no humidity can penetrate into the OPCom Particle Monitor.
19. Decommissioning, disassembly, disposal The OPCom particle monitor is a component which does not have to be taken out of operation. Therefore, this chapter does not contain any information. WARNING Incorrect disassembly If the particle monitor is disassembled incorrectly during pressurization, there is a risk of leakage of media under high pressure.
Make sure that a measurement starts and is completed Measuring cell contaminated Clean OPCom Particle Monitor using (symbol [] flashes in display) clean oil or a solvent (e.g. isopropanol) Rinse with clean oil in the opposite direction.
ISO 11171 and is thus traceable to NIST SRM 2806A. How can the device be cleaned? Clean OPCom Particle Monitor using clean oil or a solvent (e.g. isopropanol) Rinse with clean oil in opposite direction.

Yes, the device is compatible. Is the device compatible with phosphate ester / skydrol? The standard version of the OPCom is not skydrol resistant. For measuring skydrol, the phosphate ester version must be used. Can CAN and RS232 be used in parallel? No, there is only the possibility of applying one type of commu- nication.
