2 Introduction
Overview This operating manual introduces the reader to the Lighthouse

REMOTE-2 PN Series of two-channel Airborne Particle Counters.
Also included in this manual are instructions for inspecting, using and
maintaining the instrument. Any instrument design changes that may
affect its operation are covered at the back of this manual.
Description References are made to the REMOTE-2 PN Series, which includes the
NEMA enclosure, and the Rxxx2, which is only the particle counter
inside the NEMA enclosure. The Rxxx2 cannot be replaced by a
"standard" REMOTE xxx2. The REMOTE enclosed was designed
specifically for this application.
The REMOTE 3012PN (R3012PN) is manufactured to count particles

of 0.3 and 0.5 microns; the REMOTE 5012PN (R5012PN) counts
particles of 0.5 and 5.0 (or 10.0) micron at 0.1 CFM. The REMOTE
3102PN (R3102PN) is manufactured to count particles of 0.3 and 0.5
microns, the 5102PN (R5102PN) counts particles of 0.5 and 5.0 (or
10.0) micron and the 50102PN counts particles of 5.0 microns and
larger at 1.0 CFM.
This instrument is effective in ultra-clean areas (such as Class 1 or

Class 10) and in more traditional cleanzones rated as Class 100 or
248083310-1 Rev 3 2-1

higher. Refer to the Specifications table for additional information.
Figure 2-1 REMOTE 5102PN Particle Counter
REMOTE-2 PN instruments use the Elite™ laser diode light source

and collection optics for particle detection. The collection optics collect
and focus light scattered by the particles onto a photo diode that
converts the bursts of light into electrical pulses. The pulse height is a
measure of particle size. Pulses are counted and their amplitude is
measured for particle sizing.
The REMOTE-2 PN Series of particle counters were designed for

continuous trouble-free operation using an internal flow-controlled
vacuum pump and a standard NEMA style 316L stainless steel
enclosure. This design provides an industry standard mounting
configuration and can be installed where space is limited. REMOTE-2
PN Series instruments integrate seamlessly with large facility
monitoring and management systems and transfer up to 2 channels of
simultaneous particle count data using 4-20mA output.
Accessories The REMOTE-2 PN Series instrument supports remote monitoring

when equipped with a tubing kit of 3 meters.
Several accessories can be ordered to tailor the instrument to your

needs. Please contact your Sales Engineer for these options.
Annual The manufacturer recommends that your Lighthouse instrument be

Calibration calibrated annually by a Certified Lighthouse Service Provider to ensure
that it continues to perform within specification.

Getting Started
Mount The REMOTE-2 PN Series use a standard NEMA footprint and

REMOTE-2 mounting to a flat vertical surface is required for proper operation.
Pump flow control is managed by the REMOTE-2 PN Series pump
PN Series controller. Power to the REMOTE-2 PN Series is managed by a power
switch inside the NEMA enclosure. The cover lock uses a flat blade or
coin to turn the latch to the open or closed position. Do NOT apply
power to the REMOTE-2 PN Series until cables are attached properly
at both ends.
Sample tubing runs should terminate at the instrument location and

should use Bevaline tubing to prevent static and particle dropout. The
REMOTE-2 PN Series instrument supports remote monitoring when
equipped with a tubing kit of 3 meters.
If the Inlet tubing is run over walls or around corners, keep the bend
radius greater than ninety degrees and three feet.
Do not patch sections together and keep the tubing supported to prevent
sagging and kinking over time.
Typical installations use a short length of tubing and a barbed ISO

probe that is either handheld or supported on a tripod.
Connecting the tubing to the instrument Inlet requires removing the cap
from the Inlet connector and installing the ferrule and nut assemblies
on the tubing as shown in Figure 3-3. This may be done with the Outlet
connector, as well, if the pump output requires that it be exhausted to
another area. The procedure is the same for the Outlet. Review the
photos in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5.

4 Programming
General The REMOTE-2 PN Series instrument can be programmed by

connecting an ASCII terminal to the instrument to change the unit’s
Sample Time, Range, Service High, Service Low, Alarm Threshold and
Suppress Alarm Count.
This chapter contains the information needed to configure the

instrument to meet your needs.
Note: References are made to the REMOTE-2 PN Series, which

includes the NEMA enclosure, and the Rxxx2, which is only the particle
counter inside the NEMA enclosure. The Rxxx2 cannot be replaced by a
"standard" REMOTE xxx2. The REMOTE enclosed was designed
specifically for this application.
Connecting The RJ45 connector on the Rxxx2 (labeled as "Programming Port" in

Instrument to Figure 4-1) is used to connect the instrument to a COM port on a
desktop or laptop PC. When connected and operating as an ASCII
a Terminal terminal, the PC can be used to program or monitor the instrument
output.

Figure 4-3 ASCII Settings
248083310-1 Rev 3 4-3

Power Up Turn the Power switch ON. The REMOTE-2 PN Series waits for valid
programming commands during the first 20 seconds after POWER ON.
If no valid commands are received within that time, the instrument
recalls its last stored parameters (or default settings) and starts
counting.
If a programming command is received within the first 20 seconds, the

command is examined and, if valid, the associated parameters are set
and stored in non-volatile memory, overwriting the previous values.
The instrument waits another 20 seconds for the next command and the
process repeats for each command that is sent. When no more valid
commands are received, the timer times out and the instrument loads
the stored parameters and uses them to begin counting. Old parameters
are used if they were not modified during the program session.
Lighthouse recommends that, before powering up the instrument, a list

be made of the commands to be used and parameters to change. This
avoids unnecessary time outs.
Sample Hyperterminal should be running BEFORE applying power to the

Session REMOTE-2 PN Series.
1. Apply power to the instrument. The Rxxx2 "program mode"

prompt is sent by the unit.

5 Technical Data
Introduction This chapter describes the operation and programming of the

instrument.
Control
Design
Setup Count Timer
Output
Start Alarm Counts
Figure 5-1 States for the REMOTE-2 PN Series Particle Counter
START
• Starts microprocessor, and initializes hardware.
SETUP
• The REMOTE-2 PN Series ships in Program Mode:
During the first 20 seconds, the unit waits for programming

commands. If any programming commands are received within the
first 20 seconds, those commands will be examined and executed.
If the commands are valid, the parameters will be set. If no
248083310-1 Rev 3 5-1

commands are received or an invalid command is received, the

instrument will recall its last stored parameters (or default settings)
and continue to use them.
Startup Example:
Lighthouse Remote Instrument (4-20mA):

Range1= 10000.
Range2= 1000.
Suppress Alarms = 2
Service High = 3500 mV
COUNT
The instrument uses setup parameters to run, collect data, and output
count and alarm data. Zero particle counts will be represented by 4mA,
and counts equal to the upper range will be 20mA. The current output
will have a direct linear relationship to the range.
• Iout= 16mA(counts/ range) + 4mA
• Vout= Iout(R-load)
• If a Service Alert occurs, both channels are set to 2mA.
TIMER
Keeps track of time relative to sample seconds, and outputs sample data
every SampleSecs.
OUTPUT
• Outputs counts on CH1 and CH2 lines in 4-20 mA output currents.
• When counts are greater than the alarm threshold, after a "suppress"
# of consecutive alarm conditions, the Alarm Relay is turned on.
ALARM
If the CH1 or CH2 count exceeds the programmed ALARM threshold
then:
5-2 248083310-1 Rev 3

Technical Data
• The red SERVICE indicator on the instrument blinks.
• The EXTERNAL ALARM relay, described below, is set.
SERVICE ALERT
If the service/background light voltage is greater than the Service High,
or less than Service Low limits, then:
• CH1 and CH2 outputs are set to 2mA.
• The red SERVICE indicator on the instrument is turned on steady.
• If STATUS = 4 mA ==> No Alarms and No Service Alerts.
EXTERNAL ALARM
An ALARM condition, as described above, also closes a relay inside
the instrument. Contacts of that relay are connected to the DATA
connector, pins 8 (-) and 9 (+). The user may use an external power
supply and a buzzer or light stick to provide local indication of an
alarm condition. The contacts are rated at 40VDC, 1A maximum.

6 Maintenance
Procedures
This Chapter provides procedures to perform to maintain the REMOTE

’PN’ instruments.
Safety Before performing any of the maintenance tasks described in this

chapter, review the safety warnings supplied throughout this manual.
Calibration To maintain optimum performance of this instrument, it should be

recalibrated annually by a Lighthouse Authorized Service Provider.
Exterior This procedure may be superceded by customer requirements;

Cleaning however, not not under any circumstances apply Acetone to the
REMOTE ’PN’ instrument.
1. To keep the interior of the laser sensor clean, remove the

isokinetic probe or tubing from the air inlet, as needed, and install
the protective plastic cap supplied with the instrument.
2. Moisten a lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol. The cloth should

be moist, not wet.
3. Wipe down the exterior surfaces of the instrument.
Purge Test 1. Connect the Purge filter to the sample inlet. The purge filter
should be a 0.1 micron 0.1 CFM, 1.0 CFM or 2.0 CFM filter, as
appropriate for the instrument. Using a filter that does not match
the instrument rated flow may damage the filter, the instrument
or both.
2. Apply power to the instrument.
3. Configure the unit via the user interface to sample for 30 minutes.
248083310-1 Rev 3 6-1

4. Allow the instrument to sample through a 30 minute period. This

time allows the unit to warm up and purge any residual particles
that might be inside it.
5. Configure the unit via the user interface to sample for 5 minutes
and set a 10 second hold.
6. Set Cycles to 10 so the instrument will take 10 five-minute

samples.
7. If an average of more than one count per five minute sample is

reported, reset the instrument to sample for 30 minutes again to
purge it, then repeat the Purge Test again.
8. After the instrument has met the requirement of the Purge test,
return the instrument to its normal location and operating status.
9. If the instrument still fails the Purge Test, contact Lighthouse

Tech Support for assistance.
