Introduction Overview This operating manual introduces the Lighthouse REMOTE 5104V family of Airborne Particle Counters. Also included in this manual are instructions for inspecting, using, and maintaining the instrument. Description The 5104V instrument has up to four particle-size channels starting at 0.5 microns with a flow of 1.0 CFM.
Class 10) and also in more traditional cleanzones rated as Class 100 or higher. Refer to Specifications in this manual for additional instrument information. The REMOTE 5104V line of Airborne Particle counters was designed for continuous operation. Using an external vacuum source, the instrument provides versatile mounting options and can be installed where minimal space is available.
Storage Temp/RH 14° F to 122° F (-10° C to 50° C) / Up to 98% non-condensing Table 2-1 REMOTE 5104V Specifications The manufacturer recommends that the Lighthouse instrument be calibrated annually by a Certified Lighthouse Service Provider to ensure that it continues to perform within specification.
Getting Started Getting Started Initial The instrument is thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory and is Inspection ready for use upon receipt. When received, inspect the shipping carton for damage. If the carton is damaged, notify the carrier and save the carton for carrier inspection. Inspect the unit for broken parts, scratches, dents, or other damage.

Getting Started 1. Check with local regulatory agencies to determine installation restrictions and cable requirements for the application before starting cable runs. 2. Make the necessary cable "runs" and leave about two to three feet at each end as a "service loop". When pulling CAT5e cable, do NOT allow it to kink or the cable may break internally and cause failures.
Lighthouse REMOTE 5104V Operating Manual Procedure 1. Strip 1-1/2-inch to two-inches of insulation from the end of the cable, taking extreme care to not nick or cut the individual wires. Do NOT strip the individual wires. 2. Remove the contents of the Industrial RJ45 connector from the package - do NOT dispose of or lose any pieces.
Page 29
Getting Started 6. Separate the pairs of wires down to the cable’s insulation. There will be an orange, a green, a blue and a brown pair of wires. Each pair will have a solid color wire and one striped wire of the pair color.

Getting Started Connections The top of the instrument has a connection for an isokinetic inlet probe. See Figure 3-15. Inlet Figure 3-15 Instrument Top Connections The sensor can be used with a direct-mount 1.0 CFM isokinetic probe or the probe can be attached via tubing to the inlet barb. Figure 3-16 illustrates the connections found on the bottom side of the R5104V, which include the vacuum source fitting, Data connector and the DIP switch cover plate.
Lighthouse REMOTE 5104V Operating Manual Vacuum supplied to the fitting must be 18" Hg or greater for the R5104V to operate properly and the RS-485 IN port (Data connector) must be used to connect the instrument to a ’star’ or single-point communication.

Programming with MODBUS Protocol The REMOTE 5104V family of instruments can be programmed using the MODBUS Protocol. The full protocol is detailed in “R5104V MODBUS Register Map v1.44” on page A-1. This chapter contains the information needed to program the basic configuration for the instrument using the MODBUS protocol.

Programming with MODBUS Protocol MANUAL Counting Mode In Manual counting mode, the computer starts the sample and the instrument continues counting until a stop command is given. At that point, the sample time is listed at whatever the time interval was between the start command and the stop command.
Lighthouse REMOTE 5104V Operating Manual Table 5-3 Data Set Registers Register Data Type Description 40036 unsigned integer Data Set [low] Then write the command 13 to the command register 40002. This will write the values in the Data Set registers (40035 and 40036) to the RTC registers (40027 and 40028).
Programming with MODBUS Protocol Using Sensor Setting Registers Certain configuration settings can be sent to the counter through these registers. Sensor Setting Registers 40001 and 40003 through 40023 are protected and should not be changed. Location (Register 40026) For Particle Counters, this value specifies at what location a sample was recorded.
Lighthouse REMOTE 5104V Operating Manual Alarm and Alarm Enable Registers Threshold The Alarm Enable input registers (43xxx series) shown in Table 5-5 are Registers read/write. All enable data items are 4 bytes long and are stored across 2 registers. Byte and word ordering is big-endian. Thus, data items are formed by placing the high bytes in front of the low bytes.
