Laser safety

• The APC SmartTouch Airborne Particle Counter is a ClassI la-

ser-based instrument.

• During normal operation, you will not be exposed to laser radi-

ation.

• Precaution should be taken to avoid exposure to hazardous ra-

diation in the form of intense, focused, visible light.

• Exposure to this light may cause blindness.

Take these precautions:

• DO NOT remove any parts from the particle counter unless you

are specifically told to do so in this manual.

• DO NOT remove the housing or covers. There are no user-ser-

viceable components inside the housing.

WARNING

The use of controls, adjustments, or procedures

other than those speciﬁed in this manual may

result in exposure to hazardous optical radiation.

Labels

Advisory labels and identification labels are attached to the out-

side of the particle counter housing and to the optics housing on

the inside of the instrument.

Introduction and Unpacking

Introduction

The APC SmartTouch is an airborne particle counter with an infrared touch screen user interface. It operates on two lithium-ion batteries

(included) or an external (AC) power supply. The enclosure is of stainless steel.

The counter can be equipped with a dual flow rate of 1 CFM (cubic feet per minute) & 100 LPM (litre per minute) or a single flow rate of

1 CFM, 50 LPM or 100 LPM. Six particle sizes from 0.3 to 10 µm are standard on every counter. Up to 10,000 data records can be stored in

the internal memory of the counter and downloaded via the service software (included) for analysis and reporting.

Typical applications for the APC SmartTouch are cleanroom monitoring and certification, research, exposure assessment, indoor air quality,

filter testing, clearance testing, quality assurance, and contaminant migration studies. All APC SmartTouch instruments meet the JIS B

9921: 1997 and ISO 21501 standard.

Delivery check

Carefully unpack the APC SmartTouch from the shipping container and verify that all the items (see pictures) listed in the following table

are present. Contact your local Merck representative immediately if items are missing or broken.

The APC SmartTouch is to be used in controlled areas such as cleanrooms, isolators, operating theatres, flow hoods etc.

This Instrument should not be operated outside of this type of environment.

IMPORTANT

Please read all operation instructions in this user manual and pay attention to all warnings displayed on the screen before using the

instrument. Keep this manual in a known place so that it is available for all users for future reference.
