1. Aerosol Photometer 21 18 BERT Aerosol Photometer Light Scattering Chamber LSC The scattering chamber is not only an integral part of the sampling system it is a major component in itself The scattering chamber is a complex electro optical unit that consists of a pair of hollow cones connected at the apexes A pair of collimating lenses first straightens the light emerging from the light source and then focuses it at the center of the sampling cone An aperture forms a dark cone around the photomultiplier preventing light from arriving directly on the photomultiplier A condensing lens opposite the LED source focuses light scattered into this dark cone onto the photomultiplier tube Capabilities The Aerosol Photometer 2i will measure percentage leakage or absolute aerosol concentration a Note Before attempting to operate this unit become familiar with the features and functions Input Output features Alarms The 2i when used in conjunction with the iProbe provides the user three sensory alarms audible visual and vibratory When a reading exceeds the user selected alarm point the display will turn red a tone will sound and the iProbe will vibrate if enabled Data Output Leakage data is sent out the units USB port This data can be logged with contemporary data acquisition software in real time Multiple types of data formatting are available to satisfy a w2. Once the umbilical is connected to the scanning probe connect the other end to the main unit Connect the umbilical s electrical connector to the 7 pin connector on the front panel of the 2i Connect the aerosol sampling line quick connect fitting to the quick connect port of the photometer marked DOWNSTREAM see Front Panel General Overview page 26 for the front panel component description Aerosol Photometer 21 23 SE aa Aerosol Photometer Note Always check the lint screen in both sampling ports before using the instrument see Maintaining the Photometer page 62 for the procedure Note When using the iProbe with the 2i the probe should be connected to the photometer before the power 1s turned on Otherwise the iProbe display will show the following message until the main unit has reached the running mode Waiting for User to complete current Base operation Connecting the Interface Ports The 2i comes equipped with two standard Interface Ports a USB port and a printer port USB Port The USB port is intended to interface with a computer to provide serial data acquisition capability The port connection requirements are described in the following table Table 1 Serial Port Settings Setting Value Transfer Speed 9600 Data Bits 8 Stop Bits 1 Parity Control N Flow Control None Printer Port A 5 pin mini din circular
