ICM - Inline Contamination Monitor MP FILTRI

MP Filtri UK Design & manufacture the MP range of contamination monitoring products Based in The Cotswolds in Gloucestershire

Design The ICM automatically measures and displays the size and quantity of particulate contamination. With the option for moisture and temperature sensor for various hydraulic medias.

Design Cast Aluminium casing with poly membrane high temp cover. IP Rating IP65 & IP67 EMC Tested ( BN BSEN 31326) Dimensions and Weight 188 x 65 x 142 mm / 1.15Kg

Inline Contamination Monitor Specification Technology LED Based Light Extinction Automatic Optical Particle Counter Particle Sizing 8 Channels >4,6,14,21,25,38,50,70 μm© (To revised ISO 4406 Standard) Reporting Format Calibration MTD 11171 - ISO 4406 4, 6, 14µ

Inline Contamination Monitor Measure and displays the following international standards ISO 4406 1999 NAS 1638 AS 4059E Table 2 AS 4059E Table 1 ISO 11218

Inline Contamination Monitor Test Time Adjustable 10 - 3600 seconds (1 hour, Factory set to 120 seconds ) Test Intervals (Programmable) Adjustable 0-24 Hours Data Storage (Programmable) Approximately 4000 tests in the IPC memory. History Scrolling on screen last 10 readings (Results, RH & Temp)

Inline Contamination Monitor Start Delay Delay writing to memory of up 999 readings(Readings still show on screen) Flow Rate 20 – 400ml (Flow indication on screen) Flow Rate Can be disabled for very clean systems ( No 6 micron particles or smaller)

Flow Indication Because the ICM uses the time between pulse widths to derive flow its flow output is only an indication, intended for installation guidance. What is worth reinforcing however, is that the primary function of the product is to produce a measurement of cleanliness, and not to act as a flow meter. If the unit produces a contamination measurement, then the flow rate is high enough for it to do so. Because it needs particles to pass through the flow cell to calculate flow, the dirtier a system is, the more statistically accurate the flow output becomes. Conversely, when placed on very clean systems it can have difficulty in working out flow due to the very low number of particles passing through the flow cell. This will not effect the contamination measurement, but it is worth noting that customers may experience lower confidence or no indication at all on clean systems. This is why we offer the ability to disable flow on clean system, otherwise the product defaults to not showing a result. Typically, below ISO 14 we would recommend using this feature.

External Relay Alarms Alarms The ICM has two switched “External relay alarm” outputs that can be used to signal external equipment in various ways, according to the test results and the alarm settings. There is also a multi-colour front panel light which indicates how the result compares to the set alarm thresholds. The alarm settings are comprehensive and flexible, allowing the ICM to be used in many different scenarios.

Inline Contamination Monitor All ICM versions have a multicolour indicator on the front panel, which is used to indicate the status or alarm state. Green indicates that the test result passed, i.e. none of the alarm thresholds were exceeded. Yellow indicates that the lower cleanliness limit was exceeded, but not the upper one. Red indicates that the upper cleanliness limit was exceeded. Blue indicates that the upper water content limit was exceeded. Red/Blue Alternating indicates both cleanliness and water content upper limits exceeded. Violet indicates that the upper temperature limit was exceeded. The LED can also indicate various fault codes by turning red and flashing white a number of times LED

Installation Options

Installation Options Avoid pressure transients of greater than 100 barg. ● For optimum performance we recommend 1 barg differential across the ICM ● Avoid installing the ICM close to pump outlets (In some circumstances pump ripple can have a effect on particle count) ● For best results a check valve (1 to 2 barg approx) should be installed on the return line to reduce the risk of air backflow.

Inline Contamination Monitor Each ICM supplied consists of the following: • ICM particle counter • Calibration certificate • ICM user manual (CD or USB memory stick) • LPA View CD ROM, software package • LPA View test analysis software manual • Circular connector pre-wired with 2 m cable

Inline Contamination Monitor A pressure compensated flow control valve specifically designed to fit the ICM. This may be needed if the application produces an oil flow that varies outside the working range of the standard unit(20-400ml/min). Tech info Max press 400 bar Usable range 4 bar to 400 bar Flow rate 100ml/min to 340 ml/min Inlet port- connection to ICM ¼” BSP Outlet port 3/8” BSP
