Page 11: Safety
This manual describes the setup, operation and use of the Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions ApexZ family of Portable Airborne Particle Counters. The word “ApexZ”, “unit”, or “instrument” may be used in place of a specific model in this ApexZ Operators Manual.
Page 12 Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions ApexZ Operators Manual Laser Safety This product is considered to be a Class 1 LASER product (as defined by FDA 21 CFR, §1040.10 and IEC 60825-1:2014) when used under normal operation and maintenance. Performing service on the internal sensor can, however, result in exposure to invisible radiation.
Page 13 To “wake” the battery, power must be applied to it, such as being inserted into an ApexZ unit that has DC power applied.
Page 14: Installing The Battery
Installing the battery Insert battery 1 into the lower battery slot. Note: ApexZ has dual battery slots and can operate with either one or two batteries installed. With two batteries installed both batteries will self-adjust and drain their charge evenly together.
Page 15 Hot swapping the batteries If there are two batteries installed in the unit, the ApexZ will allow the user to remove one battery while the instrument is powered on and sampling. This allows the user to continue to sample with one battery while recharging the second battery.
Page 16 Users are not required to logout before ApexZ is shut down. If Users are enabled, shutting down the ApexZ will logout the current user and will require a user to login when the ApexZ is next started. It is permissible to shut down the ApexZ particle counter from any one of the user interface screens.
Page 17 There are no user-serviceable components inside the particle counter. Only factory authorized service personnel should repair or service this instrument and its optical system. Only use the power supply provided by Lighthouse with the ApexZ instrument. Failure to meet this requirement will void the CE certification, void the instrument warranty and can result in serious personal injury.

Page 19: Compliance
NOTE: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions could void your authority to operate this equipment.
Page 20: Introduction
The result is that the number of particles of various sizes is determined. The ApexZ is effective in both ultra-clean areas (such as ISO Class 2 or Grade A) and in more traditional clean zones rated as ISO Class 3 or higher.
