10 o f 11 0 Introduction - Model 3400


Hach Ultra Analytics particle counters use a laser-diode light source and collection optics forparticle detection. Particles scatter light from the laser diode. The collection optics focus thelight onto a photo diode that converts the bursts of light into electrical pulses. The pulse heightis proportional to the particle size. Pulses are counted and their amplitude is measured forparticle sizing. Results are displayed as particle counts in the specified size range (differentialcount mode) or as total particle counts (cumulative count mode). A microprocessor controls all

instrument functions. Count data is displayed as cumulative counts or differential counts.The particle counter is thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory and is ready for use uponreceipt. When received, inspect the shipping carton for damage. If the carton is damaged,notify the carrier and save the carton for carrier inspection. Inspect the counter for broken parts,scratches, dents, or other damage.

1.1 Operation Conventions

The 3400 is operated by use of a TFT color touchscreen located on the front panel of the unit,shown in Figure 1-1 . All commands may be executed through the touchscreen.

Screen items commonly referred to in this manual include:

• A screen is a window of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) which takes up all visiblespace on the touchscreen and can only be exited by pressing a button.

• A tab is a subdivision of the GUI easily accessed by touching the tab at the top of thescreen.

• An icon is an area of the touchscreen that should be touched to invoke another screenor execute an action (such as performing a sample run).

• A button is an area of the touchscreen that should be touched to invoke another screenor execute an action (such as clearing the buffer).

• A sliding menu is a group of icons hidden from view by default. The sliding menuappears as a tab at the bottom of the Main scr een . Touch the tab to show all the iconsand make a selection. Touching the tab again will hide the sliding menu.

• A field indicates an area of the screen where strings of text and/or numbers may beentered. To enter information in a field, touch the field. Depending on the nature of thefield, a keypad will appear on the touchscreen to allow text or numeric entries. Tocomplete entries from a keypad entry, touch OK .

• A checkbox allows functions to be toggled on or off. Touch the box to make a checkmarkappear and enable the function.

• A dropdown menu allows operators to choose from a set list of values. Dropdown menuscan be identified by the arrow on the right side of the field. To use a dropdown menu,touch the arrow to show the list, drag a finger or stylus down the list to show all items,then highlight the desired item to select it.

4.6 Generating Reports

ISO 14644-1, FS 209E and BS 5295 specify calculations for airborne particle counter countdata. These documents establish the definitions for level of cleanliness in cleanrooms and

clean zones based on specified concentrations of airborne particles. The printed reportsprovide the data to determine the cleanliness level for which that cleanroom qualifies.

o e:Reports will be generated from all records in the buffer. It may be necessary to clear somerecords from the buffer as described in “Clearing Buffer Records” on page 57 beforegenerating a report.

4.6.1 ISO 14644-1 Calculation Report

ISO 14644-1 sets classification levels to be used for the specification of air cleanliness incleanrooms and other controlled environments. ISO 14644-1 establishes nine classes ofcleanliness, all expressed in counts per cubic meter of air. ISO calculations also require

samples to be taken at two or more locations.o e:

The 3400’s Upper Confidence Limit (UCL) specification of 95% is only valid for 2 to 9 locationsper ISO specifications.

4.6.2 FS 209E Calculation Report

Although FS 209E has been superseded by ISO 14644-1, this regulation specifies themaximum allowable number of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 micron and larger particles per cubic foot (orcubic meter) of air as determined by statistical methods. Two or more locations must besampled for calculations to be made. Six class limits (1, 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, 100,000)designate the specific concentrations of airborne particles per cubic foot of air.

o e:The 3400’s Upper Confidence Limit (UCL) specification of 95% is only valid for 2 to 9 locationsper ISO specifications.

4.6.3 BS 5295 Calculation Reports

Although BS 5295 has been superseded by ISO 14644-1, this regulation describes in detail therequirements for cleanrooms and air control devices and is still widely used. It establishes tenclasses of cleanliness, all expressed in particles per cubic meter of air.

o e:To retake the samples at the same location, verify the location number is the same as the firstsample and sample again. The data from the retaken sample will then be used in thecalculations.
