Airnet II ®

Particle Sensor

BENEFITS
Reduce Defects
• Real-time monitoring of defect-causing particles
• Proven technology provides reliable and accurate data
• Users can react immediately to particle contamination events
• Meets ISO 21501-4
Increase Productivity
• Low cost solution for multipoint monitoring
• Interfaces with Facility Net or Pharmaceutical Net
software for comprehensive management of
cleanroom conditions
• System validation documentation available
Cost Effective
The Airnet II particle sensor is the latest product that makes it easy and cost • Small footprint and flexible mounting options make it
effective to monitor your cleanroom for proper operation. These particle easy to install in cleanrooms and minienvironments
sensors offer a small footprint, unparalleled performance and data transmission • Easy to clean/wipe down; designed to minimize particle traps
capabilities while meeting the specification of ISO 21501-4. • Rugged, chemical resistant Polycarbonate (PC) enclosure
• Diode laser reduces maintenance
Installation is simplified with versatile power options such as the use of distributed • Automatic laser shutdown reduces laser failures
power from an in-house system, local power plug in capabilities and the ability to use
Power over Ethernet (PoE). Communication capabilities include the use of Ethernet • Data queue maintains data integrity when
communication is lost
communications to interface with Pharmaceutical Net or Facility Net, optional OPC
communications or the ability to provide an optional 4-20 mA output. • Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies installations
• Optional 4-20 mA output for integration with existing systems
Data integrity is maintained through the use of a data queue feature that will • Optional OPC communications reduces integration costs
continue to gather data even if communications is lost. These units incorporate
a Dynamic Flow Sensing system that will alarm with a 15% change in flow
• Optional XR coating protects sensor against corrosive or
oxidizing vapors
conditions to assure proper flow conditions and vacuum system operation.
APPLICATIONS
For situations where Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) is used for sterilization, • Cleanroom monitoring
an optional VHP compatible unit is available.
• Dedicated monitoring of critical locations
• Trend analysis
• Statistical process control
• Multi-location monitoring

Without measurement, there is no control.
