About this manual

Overview

Parker Hanniﬁn’s icountBS is the latest in laser particle counting technology. This mineral oil or

aviation fuel contamination counter has been designed to provide accurate measurement results,

providing high standards of performance and product quality.

Its primary use is for laboratory conditions but is adaptable to allow its transport from one area to

another with minimal testing disruption.

With its Innovative touch screen technology, integrated battery power source and secure safe

operating parameters, the new icountBS will deliver the performance characteristics by meeting

accredited US Standards and achieving full ISO Certiﬁcation to the latest ISO Medium Test Dust

standards.

The unit can be used in both on-line and off-line systems. The on-board power supply and

integrated battery allows the icountBS to be taken to places that laboratory equipment has never

gone before.

The following symbols are used in this manual.

WARNING

Warning notices are used in this publication to emphasize that hazardous

voltages, currents, temperatures, or other conditions that could cause

personal injury exist in this equipment or may be associated with its use.

A Warning notice is used in situations where inattention or misuse could

cause personal injury.

CAUTION

A Caution notice is used in situations where inattention or misuse could

cause damage to the equipment. If the equipment is used in a manner not

speciﬁed by the manufacturer, the protection/performance may be impaired.

CHECK

Notes merely call attention to information that is especially signiﬁcant to

understanding and operating the equipment. You may need to check the

orientation or tightness of connections, for example.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Some operations require special attention to safety, such as the use of

safety glasses. Contact your local Parker Hanniﬁn sales ofﬁce if you have any

concerns.

SERVICE/REPAIR

Any servicing or repair work must be carried out by a Parker-approved

service centre. Contact your local Parker Hanniﬁn sales ofﬁce for recalibration

services.

WARNING

A red band around a picture or instruction is used to emphasize that

particular care is required to avoid the danger of personal injury or other

hazard.

CAUTION

A yellow band around a picture or instruction is used to emphasize that

particular care is required in carrying out the instruction. Examples are

checking that plugs are ‘keyed’ (i.e. correctly polarized) before they are fully

inserted, or that hoses are ﬁtted carefully so they do not leak.

Safety information

Please read the operating instructions before use and refer to this Handbook whenever appropriate

during use.

Before operating the icountBS ensure all electrical connections, hoses and ﬁttings are securely ﬁtted

to the appropriate standards.

Check all hoses and ﬁttings for wear and or damage. If replacements are required please order new

parts using the Accessory Part Numbers on the Ordering Information section (page 52). Replace

any loose or leaking hoses immediately.

WARNING: High pressure oil or fuel systems can present a danger of serious personal

injury.

Introduction

Parker Hanniﬁn’s icountBS represents the most up-to-date technology in solid particle

contamination analysis. The icountBS is a compact, durable, lightweight integrated laser-

based particle detector module that provides a cost-effective solution to ﬂuid management and

contamination control.

Principles of operation

The icountBS measures particle contamination via a sample bottle or on line. The sampling interval

can be deﬁned by the user so that measurements may be taken as often as required.

In contrast to other Parker particle counters (such as the CM20, LCM20, ACM20 or MCM20), the

icountBS allows you to set the volume of the test sample and the number of measurements taken

for each bottle sample. The results are reported immediately, but also stored in the unit’s internal

memory and may be downloaded later for analysis by third-party applications (such as Microsoft®

Excel).

The icountBS has high levels of controlled accuracy, stability and sensitivity.

Servicing and calibration

Please refer to the Parker Hanniﬁn Quality and Servicing booklet (FDCB272UK), supplied on CD.

NOTE: Any servicing or repair work must be carried out by a Parker approved service

centre. Contact your local Parker Hanniﬁn Sales Company for recalibration details.

The recommended period between recalibration is 12 months.

NOTE: Do not dispose of the original packaging, as this is required to return the

icountBS to the Condition Monitoring Service Centre safely for recalibration and

servicing.

Setting up

Using the Touch Screen

The icountBS is operated via the touch screen on the front of the product. You can choose features

touching the required icons on the screen with your ﬁnger or a stylus. A stylus is housed in the front

of the icountBS case.

CAUTION: Do not use a sharp or pointed implement, as this may damage the touch

screen.

To clean the screen, a clean lint-free cloth is recommended to prevent static build up when cleaning

the icountBS touch screen. If needed you may use a small amount of screen cleaning ﬂuid sprayed

directly onto the cloth and then applied to the touch screen.

If you need further advice please contact Parker Hanniﬁn.

NOTE: Screen shots shown in this manual are to help you navigate the menu system.

Electrical connections

The Parker supplied power cables can only be used with the icountBS product.

ACC6NW023 ACC6NW024 ACC6NW025

CAUTION: The electrical supply and charge usage and validity only valid when using

the Parker Supplied Power Supply Cable (ACC6NW023-024-025). The electrical power

Fluid connections

The icountBS Is ﬁtted with venting ports on the rear panel and the unit is supplied with two hoses

(Vapour Release 4mm ACC6NW010 and Oil Drain 6mm ACC6NW009).

CAUTION: The correct connection method and safety standards should be applied

when ﬁtting the icountBS vapour release and oil drain.

If there is any leakage of oil around the vapour release or oil drain please clean with an

appropriate lint free cloth and cleaning materials.

Please refer to the operator manual or contact Parker Hanniﬁn for advice

Connecting/Disconnecting

Locate hoses. Note that the colour of the hoses

supplied may vary.

Remove the blanking plugs (ACC6NN033) by

pressing down on the connector sleeve and pull

out the plug. Store the plugs carefully and replace

them once testing is complete, to avoid leakage

and external contamination.

34

Connect the VAPOUR RELEASE (Ø 4mm) hose.

Check that hose is ﬁrmly located

Connect DRAIN (Ø 6mm) hose.

Check that hose is ﬁrmly located.

5

Insert the 4mm and 6mm hose

into bottle.

To avoid spillage try to keep the bottle upright

when using the icountBS.
