2 Introduction
Overview This operating manual introduces you to the Lighthouse REMOTE

2012, 3012, 5012, 3102, 5102 (REMOTE 2 Series) family of two-
channel Airborne Particle Counters. Also included in this manual are
instructions for inspecting, using, and maintaining the instrument. Any
changes of instrument operation due to design changes are covered at
the back of this manual.
Description The 2012 instrument is manufactured to count particles at 0.2 and 0.3
micron, the 3012 counts particles at 0.3 and 0.5 micron and the 5012
model counts particles at 0.5 and 5.0 microns at 0.1 CFM. The 3102
model counts at 0.3 and 0.5 micron and the 5102 model counts particles
at 0.5 and 5.0 microns at 1.0 CFM.
The instruments are effective in both ultra-clean areas (such as Class 1

or Class 10) and in more traditional cleanzones rated as Class 100 or
higher. Refer to Specifications in this manual for additional instrument
information.
Figure 2-1 REMOTE 3012 Airborne Particle Counter
248083201-1 Rev 6 2-1

The particle counter uses laser diode light source and collection optics
for particle detection. The collection optics collect and focus light
scattered by the particles 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.
The REMOTE 2 Series line of Airborne Particle counters was created

for continuous operation 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Using an external vacuum source, the instrument provides versatile

mounting options and can be installed where space is at a premium.
The REMOTE 2 Series instrument integrates seamlessly with large
facility monitoring/management systems and transfers 2 channels of
simultaneous particle count data using 4-20mA output.
Accessories You can order several accessories to tailor the instrument to your
needs. These accessories are listed below.
• Isokinetic Sampling Probe 0.1 or 1.0 CFM
• Sample Tubing
• Instrument to PC Cabling, RJ-45 to DB-9

4 Programming
General The REMOTE 2 Series family of instruments can be programmed in

either of two ways. The DIP switches can be used to set the Sampling
Time and Range values. If an ASCII terminal is connected to the
instrument, it can program the unit’s Sample Time, Range, Service
High, Service Low, Alarm Threshold and Suppress Alarm Count.
This chapter contains the information needed to program the

instrument to meet your needs.
DIP Switches The DIP switches are behind a panel under the Data connector J10.

248083201-1 Rev 6 4-3

Connecting The RJ-45 connector on the instrument (marked "Programming Port" in

the Figure 4-3) is used to interconnect the unit with a COM port on a
desktop or laptop PC. Once connected and set up as an ASCII
Instrument to terminal, the PC can be used to program and/or monitor the instrument
a Terminal settings.

Figure 4-5 ASCII Settings
248083201-1 Rev 6 4-5

7. Ensure that all DIP Switches are set to 0 (OFF/DOWN).
Power Up If DIP Switches all = 0 ==> Program Mode:
During the first 20 seconds after power is applied, the unit waits for
programming commands. If no commands are received within that
time, the instrument recalls its last stored parameters (or default
settings) and continues to use them.
If a programming command is received within the first 20 seconds, the

command is examined and, if valid, the parameters are set and stored in
non-volatile memory, overwriting the previous parameters for that
command.
The instrument waits another 20 seconds for the next command and the
process repeats for each command that is sent. After the last command,
the timer times out and the instrument is loaded with the commands
that were issued. Old parameters are used if they were not modified
during this session.
Once programmed, the instrument retains its settings until they are
modified. The user can set DIP Switch 8 to ON (UP, 1) to eliminate the
20 second timer when the unit is next powered up.
Lighthouse recommends that, before powering up the instrument, you

make a list of the commands and parameters you want to use, thus
avoiding an unwanted timeout.
Session The following steps should be performed whenever you want to

Example program the instrument or check its settings using the ASCII terminal.
1. Set all DIP Switches to OFF (DOWN, 0) to program the instrument

and connect it to the ASCII terminal.
2. Apply power to the instrument. The Hyperterminal programming

prompt is sent from the unit.

ASCII Using a simple ASCII protocol, the REMOTE 3012 family of

Programming instruments can be programmed from an ASCII terminal (i.e. Hyper
Terminal). The protocol format is based on a start character, followed
Syntax by a command, which is then followed by a terminating character. Any
characters before the start character, or after the terminating character
are ignored. White spaces between command character and command
parameter are ignored.
Command Structure
The commands are defined as single case-sensitive ASCII characters.
Format is defined as shown on page 8.
248083201-1 Rev 6 4-7

Note: The < and > <x[yyyy]>

characters are part of the
command and must be where:
typed. The brackets [ and ]
are field delimiters and are
not typed. < = Start Character
Note: All command x = Command Character

characters are lower case,
except for the V (verbose). yyyy = Optional Command Parameter
> = Terminating Character
Handshake
Upon execution of the command, and assuming you have typed <V>
for Verbose, the REMOTE instrument will send a response based on
the value of the counts, suppress alarms, and alarm status. Examples of
responses are listed below:
<ERR> = Error in Command String.
-or-
Sample: ch1-2: 0, 0 Range1= 5000, Range2= 2500.
When the unit is powered up, it sets up the counters and timers, and
starts reporting data. The data will be similar to this example:

START
• Starts microprocessor, and initializes hardware.
SETUP
• If DIP Switches all = 0 ==> Program Mode:
During the first 20 seconds, the unit waits for programming

commands. If any programming commands are received within the
first 20 seconds, those commands will be examined and executed.
If the commands are valid, the parameters will be set. If no
248083201-1 Rev 6 5-1

commands are received (all DIP switches = 0) or if an invalid

command is received, the instrument will recall its last stored
parameters (or default settings) and continue to use them.
• If DIP Switches = 0000 0001 ==> Use last stored parameters
With the DIP switches set with this value, the instrument will start
up immediately using the last stored parameters.
Startup Example:
Lighthouse Remote Instrument (4-20mA):

- reading dip switch:

Range1= 10000.
Range2= 1000.
Suppress Alarms = 2
• DIP Switches = Anything other than (0000 0000 or 0000 0001)
The DIP switch settings will be read and interpreted. If the

combination is valid, those parameters will be chosen. Otherwise,
sample time of 300 seconds and 100,000 counts will be used.
COUNT
The instrument uses setup parameters to run, collect data, and output
count and alarm data. 0 counts will be represented by 4mA, and counts
equal to upper range will equal 20mA. The current output will have a
direct linear relationship to the range.
• Iout= 16mA(counts/ range) + 4mA
• Vout= Iout(R-load)
• If a Service Alert occurs, both channels are set to 2mA.
TIMER
Keeps track of time relative to sample seconds, and outputs sample data
every SampleSecs.
5-2 248083201-1 Rev 6

Technical Data
OUTPUT
• Counts are output on CH1 and CH2 lines in 4-20 mA current.
• If STATUS feature is available and counts become greater than the

alarm threshold, after a "suppress" of # of consecutive alarm
conditions, STATUS (pin 5) is set to 12mA and the ALARM relay
is turned ON.
• If STATUS feature is not available and counts become greater than

the alarm threshold, after a "suppress" # of consecutive alarm
conditions, the ALARM relay is turned ON.
• If STATUS feature is available and Background Light laser voltage

exceeds the ServiceHigh or ServiceLow limit or when the laser
optics are dirty, STATUS (pin 5) is set to 20mA.
ALARM
If the CH1 or CH2 count exceeds the programmed ALARM threshold,
• The red SERVICE indicator on the instrument blinks.
• The EXTERNAL ALARM relay, described below, is set.
• If STATUS feature is available, STATUS (pin 5) is set to 12mA.
SERVICE ALERT
If the service/background light voltage is greater than the Service High,
or less than Service Low limits, then:
• CH1 and CH2 outputs are set to 2mA.
• The red SERVICE indicator on the instrument is turned on steady.
• If STATUS feature is available and pin 5 = 4 mA ==> No Alarms

and No Service Alerts.
EXTERNAL ALARM
An ALARM condition, as described above, also closes a relay inside
the instrument. Contacts of that relay are connected to the DATA
connector, pins 8 (-) and 9 (+). The user may use an external power
supply and a buzzer or light stick to provide local indication of an
alarm condition. The contacts are rated at 40VDC, 1A maximum.

6 Maintenance
Procedures
Introduction This chapter provides instructions for routine maintenance that may be
required for your REMOTE 2012, 3012, 5012, 3102 or 5102
instrument.
The maintenance procedures described in this chapter are not required

on regular or prescribed intervals and should be performed only if you
have reason to question the data you are receiving from the instrument.
Safety Before performing any of the maintenance tasks described in this

chapter, read Chapter 1 of this manual and become familiar with the
warnings and caution labels.
Calibration To maintain optimum performance of this instrument, it should be re-

calibrated annually by a Lighthouse Authorized Service Provider.
Purge Count This section will provide you with the procedure to check the counter
Test for zero counts. A purge filter must be attached to the instrument and
six (6) five (5) minute samples must be taken. There should be no more
than 1 count on average per five-minute sample.
1. Disconnect power from the instrument.
2. Connect the Purge filter to the sample inlet.
3. Apply power to the instrument.
4. Configure the unit to run one 30-minute sample.
5. Run the 30-minute sample. This time allows the unit to warm up
and purge any residual particles that might be inside the
instrument.
6. Stop sampling.
248083201-1 Rev 6 6-1

7. Program the unit for 5-minute sample time and 10-second hold.
8. Run six 5-minute samples.
9. If an average of more than one count per five-minute period is

reported, run another 30-minute sample to purge it and repeat
Step 8.
10. If the instrument has met the requirement of the Purge Count test,
return the instrument to its normal location and operating status.
Fault Isolation If the instrument does not pass the Purge Count test, please perform the
following procedure:
1. Check the data over the last 6 five-minute sample times.
2. If sporadic counts over all channels are occurring, the unit may
still have particles inside it. Allow the unit to sample overnight
with the purge filter attached before retesting it. If the counts are
still high after the overnight purge, call Lighthouse Technical
Support for assistance.
3. If the data shows consistent counts in the smallest channel only,

the instrument may have electrical problems. Call your
Lighthouse Service Representative for assistance.
