Introduction
Parker Hannifin’s icountPD represents the most up-to-date technology in solid particle
contamination analysis. The icountPD is a compact, permanently-mounted laser-based particle
detector module that provides a cost-effective solution to fluid management and contamination
control.

Principles of operation
The icountPD measures particle contamination continuously and updates the display, output
options and limit relay every second.
Unlike the Parker CM20, LCM20 or MCM20, the unit does not perform a ‘one-off’ test. This means
that even if the Measurement Period is set to 60 seconds, the display, output and limit relay all
report the presence of dirt in the oil in just a few seconds – it does not wait until the end of the
Measurement Period before reporting the result.
The icountPD has just one setting to control the accuracy, stability and sensitivity of the
measurements and that is the ‘Measurement Period’. This can be set from five seconds to 180
seconds. The longer the Measurement Period, the more contaminant is measured, averaging out
any spikes seen on a smaller sample. The shorter the Measurement Period the more sensitive
the icountPD is to small slugs of contaminant, but also the performance on clean systems can be
reduced. Thus, the user can select how sensitive the icountPD is to spikes of contaminant, and how
quickly it responds to contamination levels above the set point (‘limits’).
With a Measurement Period of 100 seconds, the results will be for the last 100ml of oil that
has flowed through the icountPD, updated on a second-by-second basis, giving an effectively
continuous readout of the level of contamination.

Calibration recommendations
Contact your local Parker Hannifin Sales Company for recalibration details. The recommended
period between recalibration is 12 months.
Refer to the Parker Hannifin Quality and Servicing booklet (FDCB272UK), supplied on CD.

Connections
Hydraulic connection

Our recommendation is to position the icountPD as close to the system output as possible whilst
controlling the flow to the optimum 60ml/min. This then provides the highest pressure conditions,
plus the oil in this position is indicative of the reservoir’s oil condition.
For transportation, the icountPD is supplied with two test point covers: these need to be removed.
The mineral oil version of icountPD is supplied with M16 x 2 hydraulic test points. Parker
recommends that these are not removed or loosened. If these test points are not required please
contact Parker Hannifin for alternative options.
Note that the phosphate ester oil version of the icountPD is supplied with 5/8 inch BSF hydraulic
test points.
For Hydraulic connection:
1. Connect two pressure hoses to either end of the icountPD test points.
2. Connect the opposite end of the pressure hoses to the application.

NOTE: The connection of these test points should be ‘finger tight’ only.
Do not use spanners or wrenches.

Flow control
A pressure compensated, flow control device (Parker Hannifin
part number S840074) has been developed to give the icountPD
user greater flexibility. The flow control device enables testing
where flow ranges are outside the icountPD specifications (i.e.
40–140 ml/min), or where pipe diameters do not allow the
icountPD to be installed.

REQUIRED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE RANGE 5–315 BAR

The flow control device fits onto the downstream (outlet) side of
the icountPD, connecting through a manifold block via a self-
sealing quick connection test point.
The differential pressure valve automatically compensates for
pressure and viscosity changes, whilst maintaining its flow
setting even as the workload changes.
The table below is used to select the appropriate valve position:

Valve position cSt range

3 20–100
3.8 90–200
4.2 190–320

Deutsch DT connector: contact assembly

Step
1 Hold the crimped contact firmly, approximately 25mm (1 inch)
behind the contact barrel.

2 Present the connector with the rear grommet facing you.

3 Push the contact straight into the connector grommet until a click is
felt. A slight tug confirms that it is locked into place correctly.

4 Once all contacts are in place, insert the orange wedge.

Receptacles: with half-holes aligning with contacts. Plugs: with the
contacts aligning behind full holes.
The orange wedge snaps into place.
(The receptacle is shown in this picture – use the same procedure
for the plug.)

Deutsch DT connector: contact removal

Step
1 Remove the orange wedge using needlenose pliers to pull the
wedge straight out.

2 To remove the contacts, pull the wire back gently, at the same time
releasing the locking finger by moving it away from the contact
using a small screwdriver.

3 Hold the rear seal in place, because removing the contact will
displace the seal.

Variable voltage output settings

The variable voltage output option is capable of two different voltage ranges: a 0–5Vdc range as
standard, and a user-selectable 0–3Vdc range. The ‘Full list of commands’ section of this manual
(page 31-33) gives information on how to change the voltage output range.
The following tables can be used to relate the analogue output to an ISO or NAS code.
For example, in a 0–5Vdc range, ISO code 16 is equal to an output of 3.5Vdc. In a 0–3Vdc range,
ISO code 8 is equal to an output of 1.0Vdc.

CAN-bus network output option

If you plan to use the icountPD with a CAN-bus (SAE J1939) network, you can order this output
option when specifying the icountPD. Refer to the ‘Product configurator’ (page 53) in the Reference
section of this manual. The CAN option provides an interface to external CAN-bus networked
systems (for example, to the Parker IQAN).

Moisture sensor output settings

The Moisture sensor is an option that can be included when specifying the icountPD. Refer to the
‘Product configurator’ (page 53) in the Reference section of this manual.
The Moisture sensor reports on the saturation levels of the fluid passing through the icountPD
sensing cell. The output is a linear scale, reporting within the range of 5% saturation to 100%
saturation.

Communication protocol
The commands used with the icountPD are either made up of Read, Set or Start/Stop commands.
Read commands allow the value or values of parameters to be read
Set commands allow the value or values of parameters to be changed
Start/Stop commands allow the user to start and stop tests.
Example:
[SDF dd/mm/yy] sets the date format
[RDF] reads the product format date
All commands are sent in ASCII characters, and the protocol accepts both upper and lower case
characters. For example, all of the following codes are equivalent:
SDF = Sdf = SDf = sdF = sdf

NOTE: The use of a ‘=’ after a command, for example [SDF = dd/mm/yy], is optional.

Certain commands are for internal use only and can be accessed via a password system. Should
an unauthorized person attempt to access these commands the icountPD returns an error code for
‘Invalid Command’.

LED 4

The icountPD uses LED 1, 2 and 3 for the indication of ISO 4406; LED 2 alone is used for the
NAS1638 code. Individual code lights trigger according to user settings. The order of triggering is:

Solid green trips at all codes below the set point (limit) code
Flashing green LED trips at the set point code
Solid red LED trips at the set point plus 1 code
Flashing red LED trips at the set point plus 2 codes
LED 4 is reserved for the icountPD Moisture Sensor. Contact Parker Hannifin for details of its
specification.

ISO EXAMPLE
Assuming the limits on the icountPD have been set to 18/16/12 and the actual particles detected by
the icountPD is giving a ISO result of 20/17/11.

LED 1 flashes red, 2 codes higher than the set limit

LED 2 appears solid red (1 code higher),
LED 3 appears solid green (1 code lower)

NAS EXAMPLE:
Assuming that the limit on the icountPD has been set to 7 and the actual particles detected by the
icountPD is giving a NAS result of 9.

■■ Flashing digit(s) – code(s) that are above the set point (limit).

Automatic Light Sensor

The digital display on the icountPD is fitted with an automatic light sensor. This automatically adjusts
the brightness of the display for optimal reading, depending on the actual light conditions where the
product is located.
The icountPD brightness level default is 3. The brightness levels range from 1 (low) to 5 (high), 3
being the mid-point.

Optional wiring configuration

5 metre limit relay cable wiring configuration

The icountPD can be specified to include a built-in limit switch relay which can be triggered when
a preset alarm level is reached. The relay contacts can be used to switch an external device on
or off. Each wire within the icountPD limit relay cable is identified as Red, White and Blue which
corresponds with the diagram below.

Wire colour Description


Red Normally Open
Blue Normally Closed

White Common


The contact rating is 5A at 5–24Vdc

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that the cable’s
braided screen is terminated.

Optional limit relay hysteresis

Hysteresis is a property of systems (usually physical systems) that do not instantly follow the forces
applied to them, but react slowly, or do not return completely to their original state.
To set Relay Limits, refer to the ‘Communication Protocol – User Commands’ section in this manual.

HYSTERESIS FEATURE ON
The relay will energise when any channel is one code above the set limit (i.e. LEDs are solid red)
and will only de-energize when all channels are one code below the set limit (i.e. All LEDs are solid
green).

HYSTERESIS FEATURE OFF

The relay will energise when any channel is one code above the set limit (i.e. LEDs are solid red)
and will only de-energize when all channels are on the set limit (i.e. All LEDs are flashing green).

EXAMPLE NAS SCENARIO

An icountPD has been connected to a hydraulic system on a wind turbine. The icountPD limit relay
is switched off (Normally Closed), the limits set to NAS 9 and the relay cable is connected to a
Parker Guardian Filtration Unit. The icountPD activates the Guardian Filtration Unit as soon as the
set limit is breached. The ten test results below show the effect of having the hysteresis on or off:

Hysteresis feature ON Hysteresis feature OFF

Guardian Unit status Guardian Unit status
Test 1 result = 9 OFF OFF
Test 2 result = 9 OFF OFF
Test 3 result = 10 ON ON
Test 4 result = 9 ON OFF
Test 5 result = 10 ON ON
Test 6 result = 8 OFF OFF
Test 7 result = 7 OFF OFF
Test 8 result = 10 ON ON
Test 9 result = 9 ON OFF
Test 10 result = 10 ON ON
ON = Relay activated, OFF = Relay not activated

Viscosity charts
The following charts indicate the differential pressure required to run a successful test at the
appropriate flow rates.
Example: If the fluid you wish to analyse has a relative viscosity to 60 cSt, to generate the optimum
flow rate 60ml/min a differential pressure of 0.5bar is required.
If the fluid you wish to analyse has a relative viscosity of 400 cSt, a 4 bar differential pressure would
result in 130 ml/min.

icountPD-CAN version, SAE J1939 technical note

List of Default settings: These commands are now read/write by end-users through RS232
communication from the icountPD to HyperTerminal (or similar terminal emulation program).
These commands have been added to support user configuration of the CanBus J1939 option of
the icountPD product. They are only accessible from icountPD software version 1.6.1 or later. If you
require these options, please return your product to Parker Hannifin Manufacturing (UK) Ltd for the
upgrade.

NOTE: It is advisable to make a note of any changes you make for future reference.

To SET the above states, launch HyperTerminal and with the unit reporting, enter SJP followed by
the setting option you wish to change, 0 to 9.
For example: To change the Source Address, enter SJP 3 followed by your choice of source

DATA
STA Byte 1
Data length 1 byte
STA is the error check which reports whether a J1939
Resolution 1/bit option is fitted. This is read by the main icountPD software
Scaling offset 0 but it can also be read via HyperTerminal by the user using
the ROF (Read Options Fitted) command.
Unit None

ENA Byte 2
Data length 1 byte ENA is the error check which reports whether the J1939
Resolution 1/bit is set to Enable. This is read and set by the main icountPD
software but it can also be read via HyperTerminal by the
Scaling offset 0 end user using the RJP 0 command; if enabled this will
return a 1. If for some reason it returns a 0, you can change
Unit None
it to 1 by entering the command SJP 0 1.

SPNL
SPN low byte
Under normal operation the product is restricted to SPN2551 (proprietary group B). This register is
not acted on until the SPNH register is loaded.

SPNH
SPN high byte
Under normal operation the product is restricted to SPN2551 (proprietary group B). Loading this
register causes the SPN to be set to 12-bit value given by SPNL:SPNH.
If the IPD is set to report a standard other than ISO – for example, NAS or AS4059 (cum) or (diff) –
the J1939 PCB is sent the appropriate command from the main icountPD software to transmit the
revised data.
The bytes for single-channel contamination data, for NAS and AS4059 (diff), are reported on the 4µ
channel, byte 3 – as shown in the following application file screen:
