Filter, Zero Count (1/4” ID tubing, 0.2 mm absolute)	Purge or zero count filters allow the user to make a quick sanity check of the sensor before making the day’s round of monitoring; the test demonstrates that there is no major problem with the instrument that would result in false, high counts. Another valuable test is to verify that, without the filter, the instrument produces normal counts. Zero count is a misnomer; the expectation is not absolute zeroes, but simply that the counts are less than 10% of the cleanest area to be sampled, and thus will not affect the evaluation of any of the rooms to be monitored. Purge filters are also useful when unusually high counts occur; by obtaining few if any counts with a filter, the user demonstrates that the instrument is not producing the counts internally.
Quick-Disconnect, sensor side and vacuum side connection tubing (valved)	P/N 68149300: Quick Disconnect, (vacuum side, valved) for 3/8 inch tubing
Isokinetic Sample Probe and Stand	Sample probes are designed to entrain particles into the inlet or transport tubing without creating turbulence that might repel some of the particles away from the sample tube or inlet. The funnel shape helps the air belonging to the sample (described by the outer circumference of the funnel) to increase in velocity as it is accelerated, so that the same volume fits into the narrow diameter of the tubing or inlet. The probe also helps assure large particles (such as the 5 µm particles) are entrained into the tubing. Without the wide mouth of the probe, the inertia of large particles that are not close to the inlet could cause them to float past the inlet and not be counted. The standard probes are designed for use with up to 10 feet of tubing to access sample points where it would be inconvenient or impossible to place the particle counter. The probes are made of 316L stainless steel. These are the probes that are supplied, by default, with new particle counters. Climet offers both a small, less expensive probe stand with a plastic tilt head, and a heavier, larger stand with an aluminum tilt head. The larger stand is more rugged and is less likely to tip over.
Sample Tubing	The sample tubing of choice within the particle counting industry is Bev-A-Line XX tubing. This tubing presents the least amount of particle loss of any of the tubing on the market. Bev-A-Line XX has a black, polypropylene jacket with a Hytrel® lining. The Hytrel® lining provides the resistance to particle loss, but some particles will still adhere to the inner surface of the tubing. Bev-A-Line XX tubing can be autoclaved.
Vacuum Tubing	P/N 73303200 ¼ inch ID Bev-A-Line XX sample tubing for use with small remote sensors using an external vacuum source
	P/N 73303800 3/8 inch ID Bev-A-Line XX sample tubing for use with OPT sensors having an internal vacuum source.
	P/N 73305200 3/8 inch ID tubing for the vacuum outlet of the small, remote sensors using an external vacuum source with quick disconnect

Cable, 18 or 22 ga, 2-pair twisted, shielded
Light Blocker	When sampling directly under a light fixture without sample tubing, light can shine directly though the inlet into the sensor. Particles are detected as dim flashes of light as particles pass through the laser beam; fluorescent light fixtures introduced in recent years to reduce eye strain and headaches turn off and on tens of thou-sands of times a second—to the photo detector, they appear as particles, lots of particles. The problem is compounded by the wider inlets of portable particle counters. For those preferring not to use sample tubing, Climet has designed the light blocker probe to fit directly onto the inlet without tubing. Designed into the probe is an aerodynamic blocker that prevents light from shining directly into the sensor. Other companies have tried placing baffles in the inlet to block light, but they act as impactors, trapping 5 µm particles; the aerodynamic shape allows the particles to flow around the light blocker. The light blocker probes are made of hard black anodized aluminum. Upon request these probes can be substituted for the standard isokinetic probes when purchasing new instruments.
Data Pro 3 Software Download Data Pro Brochure Here	DataPro 3 is used with the remote particle counters (CI-3100 OPT and RS models). DataPro 3 is also 21 CFR compliant and receives data from sensors during sampling. DataPro 3 provides reports, and can also export data to Excel tables for graphing.
Alarm Tower	The CI-309A Power Over Ethernet Alarm Tower works with the CI 3100 Ethernet OPT and the remote sensors 153, 154, 453, 454, 753, 754, 1053, and 1054. It is powered through Ethernet and requires no additional power source. The tower uses Modbus STP protocol, and is controlled through Climet’s DataPro 3 software, which lights the appropriate segment—alarm, alert, OK—in response to data collected by DataPro from the sensors. For companies that already have an Ethernet system that is already capable of providing power over Ethernet, the 95030900 is all that is needed. Most companies will also need an injector to provide power. The -01, -02, and -03 versions include and injector with power cord.
