    The CI-154 contains a 9.6 Volt, maintenance-free, rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery, which can be replaced by the user. The CI-154 comes with a three prong, grounded AC power cord. Failure to make a proper earth ground connection may result in a shock hazard and may damage the instrument.

  • Page 13: Storage

    The CI-154 has a sample flow rate of 1 cubic foot per minute (1 CFM) or 28.3 liters per minute (28.3 LPM), requiring 35.3 minutes to take a full 1 cubic meter sample.

    2.2.4 How to create and use a stored program The CI-154 allows you to configure parameters and location IDs for a given sample area and save them under a named program, so that the parameters can be easily recalled every time you have to sample that area, or areas, with similar requirements.

    Data should also be cleared if data dumps are routinely taken, so that old data will not be repeatedly printed or sent to the computer. Since the CI-154 can store a considerable amount of data, failing to clear data regularly will result in very long printouts, both in terms of time and in terms of paper length.

    2.5.1 Sample volume The CI-154 has a constant flow rate of 28.3 liters per minute, or 1 cubic foot per minute. At this rate, the particle counter samples a cubic meter of air in 35.3 minutes, a cubic foot of air in 60 seconds.

  • Page 31: Sample Delay

    For example, if you wanted to take a 1–minute sample automatically every hour, then you would set the sample delay to 60 minutes. Then the CI-154 will treat the sample delay as a recurring interval in which it will perform an initial delay of 5...

    EXIT return to the main screen. The CI-154 can be set to beep whenever a particle is detected. This is useful, because you can use the instrument—much like a Geiger counter—to home in on contamination sources in a clean area. As you approach the source of contamination, the beeps occur at a faster rate, and as you move away from the source, the beeps become less frequent.

    (green) and you wish to disable it, press the same key so that it turns yellow. When the CI-154 is set to Beep on Count or Audible Alarm, the high output beeper on the underside of the chassis will sound. This beeper has an adjustable baffle which the user can turn to give the desired audible output level.

  • Page 37: Creating An Id

    Different clean rooms and clean hoods may require different settings for sampling. The CI-154 allows those settings to be named and saved as programs so that the user can quickly change settings from one area requirement to the next without having to recall the details of how each area is to be sampled.

  • Page 77: Theory Of Operation

    CI-154 User’s Manual Theory of operation How particles are detected As you enter an old barn, you see a shaft of bright light shining down from the space between two of the boards that are part of the barn’s wall. A myriad of specks of light dance about within that shaft of light.

  • Page 78: The Airflow System

    4.2.2 The light source The CI-154 uses a laser diode light source. The superior light collecting properties of Climet’s optical system allows the laser diode to be driven at a much lower level which adds to the life of the laser diode. Lenses are used to shape the laser beam. A light trap at the opposite end of the sensor absorbs the beam, so that it will not create stray light that would obscure smaller particles.

  • Page 79: The Electronic Subsystems

    Amplifier and signal processing circuits amplify the signal, and attenuate background noise, which allows smaller particles to be detected. The CI-154 uses patented (5,870,190) Digital Signal Processor (DSP) circuitry to electronically sort these pulses and set threshold voltages.

  • Page 81: Application Guide

    The Isokinetic probe is the cone-shaped sample probe that is provided as a standard accessory for the CI-154. Often referred to simply as the isoprobe, it is used when sampling laminar airflow, such as the airflow from a HEPA filter. When used to sample laminar flow, the probe should be pointed towards the source of the flow.

  • Page 82: Monitoring

    CI-154 User’s Manual The particle counter requires a minimum flow through the diffuser and if the valve drops the airflow below this requirement, the particle counter may suck in ambient air, contaminating the gas sample. The diffuser will reduce the pressure to atmospheric level, and an adequate flow will enable the particle counter to sample the gas sample without outside contamination.

  • Page 83: Monitoring Hot Air Sources

    CI-154 User’s Manual monitoring is about risk assessment, and only general guidelines can be given for monitoring. Fundamental to this is to understand why you are monitoring for particle counts. To assess the risks you have to identify which products or processes are critical and select those for more frequent monitoring.

    6.1.1 Battery replacement There are two batteries in the CI-154. One is the memory back-up battery. It backs up memory while the unit is off. The memory back-up battery can last up to eight years. Actual times will vary because of the variation in the percentage of time that the unit is off during the day.

    (P/N 01249500 for the CI-154 and other 1 CFM models). This patented device blocks light without trapping 5 m particles. Other designs that have been implemented to block light have a serious problem with 5 m loss.

  • Page 87: Low Laser Power

    Low laser power The CI-154 constantly checks the status of the laser diode. If the unit detects a loss of laser power, a screen reporting “Low Laser Power” will appear and sampling will stop. Pressing [ ] will clear this screen.
