1.0 Overview Thank you for purchasing a Setra particle counter, the world’s smallest, remote particle counter sensor available for measuring and monitoring particle counts in clean room and controlled environments for the Aerospace, Life Science, Data Storage, IAQ and Industrial Hygiene Markets.
32º to 122ºF (0º to 50ºC) / Up to 98% non-condensing Warranty 2 year limited warranty. Extended warranties available Please note that specifications are subject to change without notice. 1.2 Included Accessories Description Part Number Image Wire Connector SPC3X-AS-99086 3000 Series User Manual SPC3X-MN-24028 (USB Key – One per order)
To store the instrument, place it in a box, under cover, in an environment as stated in our specifications. 2.4 Power considerations and connecting to AC power The Setra 3000 Series Instrument is powered from a customer provided external DC power source between 9 – 24 VDC.
2.6 Laser safety information The Remote Particle Sensor is a Class 1 laser-based instrument. • During normal operation, you will not be exposed to laser radiation. • Precaution should be taken to avoid exposure to hazardous radiation in the form of intense, focused, invisible light.

Add a negative pressure gauge to the other end of the tube. If the pressure is more than -15 in.Hg (-50kPa) vacuum. The flow rate of a 3000 series is controlled to maintain proper flow (There is a critical orifice inside of the unit, which controls the flow rate when the negative pressure is equal to our greater than -15 in.
3.3 Data port The connector on the bottom of the instrument is used to communicate with your facility monitoring system, Cleanroom Monitoring System, SCADA, or PLC.

4.0 Communication protocol The remote particle sensor can be communicated with using the Modbus-RTU or Modbus- ASCII protocol. Facility/Cleanroom Monitoring software can be used as the monitoring system. If you would like to use your own monitoring system, please contact Setra Systems.
Systems for consultation. • ISO 21501-4 states that the recommended calibration interval of an LSAPC (light scattering airborne particle counter) is one year or less. For calibration, please contact Setra Systems or an authorized distributor. • Please check the negative pressure at the tube (where it connects to the outlet of the unit) to ensure that the vacuum pump is providing enough negative pressure to the unit.
