The Pall PFC400W laser particle counter is a portable diagnostic device that measures the size and quantity of particulate in industrial system fluids.

Features
• Proven laser light blockage technology
• Monitors dissolved water content
   (% saturation or PPM output)
• High and low pressure on-line sampling
• Off-line (bottle) sampling
• Performs single counts, timed counts, or continuous counting
• Wide fluid viscosity range
• 1000 run internal memory
• Integral battery allows for counting of 50 or more fluid samples between recharging
• Detachable, hand held programmer/display
• PC-based trending software
• Transport case

Benefits
Monitoring the trend of system fluid cleanliness as part of a predictive maintenance program helps identify abnormal conditions and potential problems. When observed, either additional fluid analyses may be performed or, prompt corrective actions can be implemented.

The PFC400W counter can either be permanently installed on-line to monitor critical applications (e.g. component test facilities) or used as a portable device for routine condition monitoring of various hydraulic, lubrication, and other fluid systems.

Operation
The PFC400W counter is simple to operate, with input of sample identification, counter configuration and data output requirements entered via the touch panel keyboard. Specific sampling “profiles” can be created (either via the programmer or a PC) and stored in the unit for immediate access and error-free testing.

Fluid contamination levels are counted using state-of- the-art laser light blockage technology. Results are reported as codes or classes in accordance with ISO4406, SAE AS4059D, NAS1638 or DEF STAN 05-42. The analysis data (particle counts and codes or classes) can be downloaded from the hand held device to a PC via the RS232 communications port, and stored for subsequent trend analysis.
