C H A P T E R 2 G e t t i n g S t a r t e d The AeroTrak Remote Particle Counters with 4-20 mA analog outputs are designed for easy installation and wiring. Before installing and wiring up the particle counter, each unit needs to be configured using a simple web browser and computer.
I n t e r n a l E l e c t r i c a l C o n n e c t i o n s ® The AeroTrak Remote Airborne Particle Counter (particle counter) supports multiple communications and connectivity options. A brief description of each of the connections is listed below.
Alarm, Temp/RH Connector The Alarm, Temp/RH Connector is NOT used on these products. There is an alarm output that comes from external wiring (see Appendix A), and that will be described in the External Electrical Connections Section of this manual. E x t e r n a l E l e c t r i c a l C o n n e c t i o n s The AeroTrak Remote Particle Counters with Analog Outputs have a number of external electrical connections that are used to power the...
Alarm Contact: Terminals 6–7 The alarm contact is used to indicate an alarm condition. The alarm contact closure is normally open. The contact closes upon an alarm, which could be a high particle alarm, a laser error, a detector error, or a flow error, depending on the configuration of the particle counter.

Note: In a typical application, Airborne Particle Counters are configured using static IP addresses so that remote hosts and software can be configured to query each specific counter at known addresses. It is also possible to configure the Airborne Particle Counter using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), but this should be done with care to ensure that the IP address of each device is known and always the same for each device.
2. Click on the Local Area Connection icon in the list of connections. 3. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item. Configuring the Airborne Particle Counter 3–3...

9. For the Tech Password, enter “admin” (must be all lower-case) and click the Log In button. The technician screen should display as shown below. 10. Typically Airborne Particle Counters will be configured with a static IP address and the Use DHCP checkbox will be unchecked. To enable DHCP, check the Use DHCP checkbox.
13. Press Logout to return to the login screen and then close your browser. 14. Disconnect the Airborne Particle Counter from the crossover cable or hub and remove DC power if it is used. 15. Reconnect the Airborne Particle Counter to your monitoring network and repeat steps 6 and 7 for the network address recorded in step 10 to confirm the new network IP address.

Mounting Bracket (optional) To install the mounting bracket: 1. The bracket is provided with two 0.169 inch (4.30 mm) diameter holes, suitable for a #6 or M4 screw. Screw the bracket to the mounting surface using appropriate screws. 2. Slide the particle counter onto the mounting tabs at the top of the bracket and snap it into the locking tab (circled above).
To remove the Remote Airborne Particle Counter from the mounting bracket: 1. Press the locking tab at the top of the bracket. 2. Lift the particle counter off the mounting tabs. Tubing Connections Vacuum Connector The vacuum connection at the bottom of the device (next to the electrical connections) should be connected to a vacuum pump or central building vacuum supply capable of providing 15 inHg (38 cmHg) of vacuum at the rated flow rate of 0.1 or 1.0 cfm (2.8 or 28.3 L/min).
Tubing Installation Connecting Vacuum Tubing For simplicity and reliability, the remote particle counter does not include an internal pump to move particles through the instrument. Instead, it uses a critical or sonic orifice to maintain a steady flow of air and particles.
Page 35
Connecting Sample Tubing Sample tubing is used to carry a sample from a location close to a critical process to the particle counter a short distance away. This requires tubing such as specified in the optional accessories table in Chapter 1. Tubing length should be kept as short as possible with minimum bend radii to minimize particle loss.
