Portable Particle Monitor – iCount LaserCM

Hydraulic fluid cleanliness plays a critical role in the performance and reliability of industrial equipment. Fluids with high levels of contamination and/or solid particulate matter can damage system components, such as pumps, actuators, or servo valves, leading to shorter maintenance intervals, added downtime, and increased costs.
The Parker iCount LaserCM portable particle monitor is a user-friendly field diagnostic device that provides service personnel with the capability to quickly and easily assess the cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid or oil in a wide range of applications. The particle monitor can be utilized while machinery is in operation and is equipped with a number of intuitive features to accommodate users unique requirements, including ISO/NAS/AS standard cleanliness reporting, data entry and graphing, built-in memory storage, and an integral printer.
The iCountLaserCM features microprocessor-controlled optical scanning for accurate contaminant measurement with a calibration range from ISO 7 to ISO 22 with no monitor saturation. The particles are measured by a photo diode that converts light intensity to a voltage output ,which is recorded against time. As the particle moves across the window, the amount of light lost is proportional to the size of the particle. This reduction in voltage is measured and stored in the iCount LaserCM computer in one of six channels according to particle size. Readouts are displayed on the hand-held LCD in the accepted ISO/AS and NAS standards ready for hard copy printing or RS232 computer download. The on-board computer allows storage of up to 300 test results.
The iCount LaserCM’s compact, user-friendly design and ease of use set it apart from other portable particle monitors on the market. Operating the device is as simple as pressing the start button and turning the dial. The test procedure is automatic and takes no more than 2 minutes to complete.
An iCount LaserCM Aggressive Fluids model is available for monitoring corrosive fluids, such as phosphate ester based lubricants used in commercial aviation. Also available are the Parker iCountPD for inline continuous particle detection, and the iCountOS.
