1 Introduction

Overview This operating guide describes how to use the Lighthouse

HANDHELD 3016 and 5016 Airborne Particle Counters.

The HANDHELD 3016 has up to six particle-size channels starting at

0.3 microns with a flow of 0.1 CFM and a touch screen interface. The
HANDHELD 5016 has up to six channels starting at 0.5 microns. It is
otherwise identical to the 3016 model. A microprocessor controls all
instrument functions. Count data is displayed as cumulative or
differential count.

The model number signifies the minimum particle size measured by the
instrument. The number "3016" indicates a 0.3 Pm minimum channel
size at 0.1 CFM with up to 6 channels. The number "5016" represents
a 0.5µm minimum channel size at 0.1 CFM with up to six channels.

The instrument uses a laser-diode light source and collection optics for
particle detection. Particles scatter light from the laser diode. The
collection optics collect and focus the light 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. Results are displayed as particle counts in
the specified size channel.

Description Ergonomically designed and lightweight, the Lighthouse HANDHELD

3016 and 5016 particle counters are the newest and most advanced
handheld particle counters on the market.

The HANDHELD 3016/5016 displays cumulative or differential

particle count data as well as Temperature/Relative Humidity data on
its easy to read 3.8" (9.25cm) touch screen. A rechargeable battery
maximizes the HANDHELD’s uptime. Data is easily downloaded
using the LMS XChange software.

The HANDHELD allows you to:

• Set the Sample Time

The following modes are available: Auto, Manual, Beep and

Concentration.

• AUTO - When the instrument is in Automatic Mode and the

START button is pressed, the instrument will start counting
particles automatically according to the Sample Time, Hold Time
and the number of Cycles that are configured. If Cycles are set to 0,

PARTICLE Display

Data on the instrument can be displayed in Differential (DIFF) or

Cumulative (CUML) counts.

For example, the cumulative count for the 1Pm channel is the sum of
that channel’s count + 2.5Pm count + the 5Pm count.

The differential count for the 1Pm channel is the number of particles
between 1Pm and 2.5Pm.

The data displays on the MAIN screen according to whichever is

selected (DIFF or CUML).

The data format is either Raw (RAW) or Normalized (NORM). Raw

data displays the actual number of particles counted. Normalized data
shows particle concentrations calculated from the raw data based on the
settings chosen (ft3 or m3).

Volume of Air = Sample time (minutes) x FlowRate (CFM)

4 Setting up the Counter

Using Report Besides printing reports, the Report Setup screen can be used to display
Parameters each report’s minumum requirements - such as how many data records
are required and from how many different locations data must be
recorded to meet a given class for a given cleanroom area.

Once the user knows these requirements, the user can configure the
HANDHELD so that the data collected will fulfill the report’s
requirements.

Note: In order to review For each report type, as the user changes the Room Area, the Class
reports, the optional printer Level, and sometimes the Air Flow or the Room Status, the values for
must be attached to the
HANDHELD.
the Minimum Locations, Minimum Samples and Minimum Volume
may change and will be calculated for the requirements for each report
type.

These values are indicated on the screen so that the user can configure
the instrument appropriately to ensure the samples recorded meet the
requirements for the report selected.

Basic Each of the reports have some basic requirements that, if not met,
Requirements cause the report to FAIL classifying the cleanroom immediately.

Fed Std 209E (feet)

This report requires a minimum of 2 locations measured.

At least 1 sample per location must be taken.

At least 5 samples in total must be taken in the cleanroom.

The minimum sample volume must be at least 0.1 cubic feet.

The 95% Upper Confidence Limit (UCL) must be calculated if the

number of sampled locations is less than or equal to 9.

Air flow (Unidirectional vs. Non-unidirectional) will have an effect on

the minimum locations and minimum samples required. In general, the
Non-unidirectional option requires more of both locations and samples.

248083219-1 Rev 2 4-1

Lighthouse HANDHELD 3016 / 5016 Airborne Particle Counter Operating Manual

For the Fed Std 209E (ft) report, the classification for a particle size is
based on its samples taken from all locations in the cleanroom. Each
particle size is given one of the following results:

• A classification rating which will be one of the possible

classifications (1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000).

• "Unable to Classify" if it fails one of the above requirements.

• An "Out of Range" if the calculated classification at that

particle count exceeds 100,000.

Fed Std 209E (metric)

This report requires a minimum of 2 locations.

At least 1 sample must be taken per location.

At least 5 samples must be taken in total in the cleanroom. Take a

different number of samples at different locations.

The minimum sample volume must be at least 0.00283 cubic meters

(which equals 0.1 cubic feet).

The 95% Upper Confidence Limit (UCL) must be calculated if the

number of sampled locations is less than or equal to 9.

The classification for a particle size is calculated based on its samples

taken from all locations in the cleanroom. If 9 or less locations have
been sampled, then the classification is based on the 95% UCL. If
more than 9 locations have been sampled, then the classification is
based on the Mean.

ISO 14644-1
The minimum number of locations is 1.

At least 1 sample must be taken per location.

At least 3 samples, total, must be taken in the cleanroom. The user can
take a different number of samples at different locations.

The minimum sample volume is 2 liters.

This report has a minimum Sample Time of 1 minute. If the Sample

Time is less than that, the entire room would fail the classification.

The 95% Upper Confidence Limit (UCL) must be calculated if the

 Setting up the Counter

number of sampled locations is less than or equal to 9.

British Standard 5295 - N/A

The British Standard report is not applicable to the HANDHELD
because it requires at least .848CFM.

EC GMP
The EC GMP only applies to 2 channel sizes: 0.5P and 5.0P.

There are only 4 Classes: A, B, C, D, and 2 cleanroom states: At Rest

and Operational.

Class D is not applicable when the cleanroom is Operational.

If one of these channel sizes is not present, the report cannot classify
the room.

The standard does not define a minimum number of sample locations

or a minimum number of samples. In order to take a measurement, at
least 1 location and 1 sample are required by the counter.

The standard does not require a minimum sample volume. The volume
of air must be shown in liters (L).

The classification for a particle size is determined based on the mean of

all average concentrations taken from all locations in the cleanroom. If
the mean exceeds all limits, then the classification is "Out of Range".

The counter will only print channels 0.5 and 5.0 in this report. If either
channel is not available on the HANDHELD, then this report will not
be valid.

C Purge Test

This Appendix will provide the user with the procedure to check the
counter for Zero Counts. A purge filter must be attached to the
instrument and ten (10) one (1) minute samples taken. There should be
no more than 1 count on average per one-minute sample. The purge
filter should be a 0.1 micron, 0.1 CFM filter.

Purge Test 1. Connect the Purge filter to the sample inlet.

2. Apply power to the instrument.

3. Configure the unit via the touchscreen interface to sample for 30

minutes.

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 touchscreen interface to sample for 1

minute and set a 10 second hold.

6. Set Cycles to 10 so the instrument will take 10 one minute

samples.

7. If an average of more than one count per one 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.

Data and Data and Alarm Enable Registers

Alarm
The Data and Alarm Enable input registers (43xxx series) are read/
Registers write. All enable data items are 4 bytes long and are stored across 2
registers. Byte and word ordering is big-endian. Thus, data items are
formed by placing the high bytes in front of the low bytes. For
example:

<High Bytes><Low Bytes> = <4 Byte Data Item>

The 43xxx register series is used to determine which particle data

Enable Alarming for a Channel

To enable alarming on the third particle channel, the user would enable
Bit 1 for register 43014.

To disable alarming on the third channel and enable alarming on the

second channel, disable Bit 1 for register 43014 and enable Bit 1 for
register 43012.

To disable alarming completely, disable Bit 1 for register 43012. Now,

no channels are enabled for alarms.

Use the Threshold registers to set the alarm threshold value. This is
described in the next section.

Threshold Setup Registers

Threshold data is stored in the input registers in the 45xxx series which
are read/write. All threshold data items are 4 bytes long and are stored
across 2 registers. Byte and word ordering is big-endian. Thus, data
items are formed by placing the high bytes in front of the low bytes.
For example:

<High Bytes><Low Bytes> = <4 Byte Data Item>

For particle channels, the threshold value is a 32-bit unsigned integer.

If the data value exceeds the threshold value and the alarm is enabled
for that channel, the threshold flag in the Data Status register (30007-
30008, bit 4) is set.

Data Data is stored in the input registers (30xxx series), which are read-only.
Registers All data items are four bytes long and are stored across two registers.
Byte and word order for integer data is big-endian. Thus, data items
are formed by placing the high bytes in front of the low bytes.

Example:

<High Bytes><Low Bytes> = <4 Byte Data Item>

IEEE floating point has big-endian byte order and little-endian word
order. Thus, analog data items are formed by placing the low bytes in
front of the high bytes.

Example:

<Low Bytes><High Bytes> = <4 Byte Data Item>

Not all particle and analog channels are necessarily active. Retrieving
data from an inactive channel returns garbage. See the Data Enable
Registers section of this document for details on how to record data
from active channels.

This entire series of registers represents one data record in the device.
The Record Index Register (40025) must be changed to index other
records here.

The first record in the data buffer is located at Index=0. The most
recently saved value is at Index=-1.

Valid Data in Channels (30073 - 30076)

Register 30073 represents the flag bits corresponding to valid data
present in the analog register range. The mapping is such that bit 0 set
to TRUE (=1) would correspond to valid data present in Analog
Channel 1.

Register 30074 represents the flag bits corresponding to valid data

present in the particle register range.

Register 30075 represents the flag bits corresponding to analog

channels that have exceeded the threshold [Threshold High Registers
