PROHIBITED: 6.1 Main components
• Use for other purposes without prior consultation with
the manufacturer. 6.1.1 Top view
• Use in hazardous areas.
• Use with emulsions. An encapsulated laser class 3b is built into
CAUTION! the portable particle counter.
This portable particle counter is only allowed to be used
in accordance with the operating conditions specified in
the contract documentation and in the Operating
Instructions. All forms of use which deviate from or
exceed the limits of use described above are considered
to be contrary to the intended purpose. The manufacturer
shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such
use.
- The portable particle counter is designed for measuring

the number and size of particles in hydraulic fluids, diesel
and kerosene and for determining contamination classes.
- The unit must not be used in hazardous areas!
- The unit must only be operated with liquids which have a
combustion point of a least 85 °C and at least 30 °C
above the ambient temperature.
The temperature of the liquid must not exceed the
ambient temperature.

Abb. 5: Measurement principle of the particle counter

1
A light beam is produced in a laser diode.
2
This beam is transmitted through the test section via a lens
system together with the fluid.
3
If it strikes a particle, the light beam is attenuated.
4
The detector counts the number of interruptions in the light
Abb. 4: Operating principle of the particle counter beam. The smaller the amount of light sensed by the
detector, the larger the detected particle.

The fluid to be tested is pumped from the hydraulic circuit
into the particle counter.

• Make sure all hoses are connected and secured.
• Touch the key.
• Press the key to confirm the warning.
Abb. 65: Changing fuse
• Stop unit (Section 12.8).
