Chapter 1 Introduction The IsoAir 310P particle sensor is designed to provide cleanroom and isolator monitoring. When environmental particles go out of specification, the instrument can initiate an alarm to halt operation and help identify the cause. The IsoAir 310P particle sensor generates its own vacuum with an internal pump with HEPA-filtered discharge.
Chapter 1 Introduction Front Panel Front Panel The front panel includes two LED's, the status light and the activity light. Status Light The Status light (three-color LED) indicates the operational status of the instrument and is programmable. Activity Light The Activity LED flashes when particles are detected. Figure 1-1 IsoAir 310P Particle Sensor The top of the enclosure contains the sample inlet port.

Sensor Installation Chapter 2 Unpacking and Installation Selecting a Location The location for the IsoAir 310P particle sensor can greatly improve the overall utility of the unit. Consider the following issues when choosing a location for the sensor: • Optimal Sampling – The unit must be mounted close enough to the area it is monitoring that the maximum length of the sample tube is 3 meters (remote mounting only).
Chapter 2 Unpacking and Installation Sensor Installation Setting Up a Remote Sampling System It is not necessary to position the IsoAir 310P enclosure in the air flow to be sampled. If needed, the enclosure can be installed in a remote location. Connect up to 3 meters of sample tubing from the enclosure to an isokinetic probe (ISP), positioning the ISP in the airflow sampling area.
