Sop for Operation of Airborne Particle Counter

 

Sop for Operation of Airborne Particle Counter

 

1.0 OBJECTIVE
1.1 To lay down a Procedure for Operation of Airborne Particle Counter in Quality Control Department.

2.0 SCOPE

2.1 This procedure is applicable for Operation of Automatic Particle Counter

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY



3.1 Microbiologist.

4.0 ACCOUNTABILITY
QC Manager

5.0 PROCEDURE
5.1 Logging in: Switch ON the main power, enter ‘Counter Navigation’ then enter ‘Factory’.
5.1.1 There are two methods to login, depending on weather the 3400 has first been turned on.
5.1.2 To login after the Model 3400 is initialized, touch the screen. When password protection is enabled, users
must log in to proceed.
5.1.3 To login to the unit with another user already logged in, touch the Lock icon to log out the previous user,
then touch the Lock icon again to login
5.1.4 A login screen appears like the one. Touch the Name field to enter the username and a keyboard entry
screen appears.



5.1.5 Enter the username by touching the screen.
5.1.6 When the name is entered, touch the enter button on the screen.
5.1.7 Touch the Password field to invoke the keyboard screen and enter the password via the touch screen.
5.1.8 Press Enter.
5.1.9 If login is successful, the main screen should appear, similar to the one. If the login is unsuccessful, a Login
Failed message appears and the password should be re-entered.
5.2 Taking Counts:
Always remove the protective cap from the inlet tube before performing counts or damage to the counter will
occur.
5.2.1 If still in place, remove the protective cap from the inlet tube ( on top of counter).
5.2.2 Make sure the main screen display ‘counter navigation’. Press ‘Sample’ on the screen.
5.2.3 To start counting particles, press the run icon, on the touchscreen.
Particle counting begins:
The run icon becomes a stop icon until the count is completed.
The display indicates the counts and any other parameters measured.
5.2.4 The count stops automatically. To manually stop counts, press the stop icon. When the count is complete the
total number of particles counted during the count time displays as well as the value for any other parameter
measure (relative humidity, temp., air velocity). Refer to adjust the setting, such as alarm limits, units of
measurements, time and date.
