How the icountOS worksEngineered
for simplicity
Parker quality and
reliability as standard.
The IOS quality condition monitor
for hydraulic oils uses advanced
technology to produce extremely
repeatable results.
At the heart of the system is a
sophisticated laser and detector, using
a light obscuration flow cell, providing
continuous measurement of fluid flow
passing through a sample tube.
Measurements are taken every second as
standard, although measurement intervals
and test period can be defined by the user,
with results being reported immediately
and updated in real time.
Data is displayed on a built-in OLED
digital display and can also be stored for
subsequent upload via the embedded
icount’s web page interface connecting
through an RJ45 cable.
Proven laser detection
technology
Parker’s experience in laser light
obscuration and the application of that
technology in portable particle counting
is what places the icountOS ahead in
the market.
Attach OUTLET (4mm Dia.) hose To remove the PRV, press down on the
removal tool at the same time as lifting
PRV off.
Low Pressure
connection set up
We recommend that the IOS is positioned
in a safe, stable area, as close as possible
to the system output and only the hose
fittings provided are used.
High Pressure connection set up (Optional equipment needed)
(High pressure defined for the IOS as more than 2.5 bar, with max. 350 bar).
We recommend that the IOS is positioned in a safe, stable area, as close as possible to the system output and only the provided hose
fittings are used. For pressure systems (more than 2.5 bar) one high pressure hose assembly:
In simple terms, a controlled column of
contaminated fluid enters the laser optical
scanner chamber. This design maintains
contamination distribution within the fluid.
On reaching the IOS’s photo diode cell, the
accurate laser light is applied and projected
through that oil column.
The laser diode projects an image of the
sample onto a photo diode cell.
A cast image or shadow created
by the contaminant in the oil creates
a measurable change in the
light intensity.
