icountLaserCM30 – Portable Particle Monitor

The Parker icountLCM30 is a next generation fluid system particle contamination monitoring offering an under 90 seconds test procedure. Multi-standard ISO, NAS, AS and GOST cleanliness reporting, data entry and integral printing are all featured on this next generation contamination monitor.

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 contamination 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, built-in memory storage, and an integral printer.

The iCount LaserCM features microprocessor-controlled optical scanning for accurate contaminant measurement with a calibration range from ISO 0 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. Additional sizes are calculated for reference purposes. 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 1000 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 on the handset. The test procedure is automatic and takes less than 90 seconds to complete.

Also available are the Parker iCountPD for inline continuous particle detection, and the iCountOS.
