This instrument is in good condition and works well. The screen membrane looks as though someone used an abrasive cleaner on it; it has a cloudy look to it. It’s still readable, though. The battery holds a charge, but is a few years old. It comes with a power cord.

The CI-550 (Climet Instruments 550) is a laser diode based aerosol particle counter that monitors particles in six size ranges: 0.3, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, and 10 μm. It is fully selfcontained, operating on battery power or AC power for sampling convenience. It has a stainless steel enclosure that makes it suitable for applications requiring a sterile wipedown. The standard model has a sample flow rate of one cubic foot per minute (1 CFM), and the full 1 CFM flow is sampled. The built-in battery can provide up to 5 hours of continuous sampling on a single charge. The CI-550 interfaces with the user through a color LCD touch screen. It comes with a thermal printer and a built-in 3.5” floppy disk drive. The CI-550 uses patented optical and flow systems with automatic flow control. The sample air is filtered before being exhausted through the rear panel. When used for special applications where the air sample must be exhausted out of the area, a fitting can be attached to the exhaust port to allow tubing to be connected to the exhaust.

Counts may be displayed and printed in a variety of formats, including TOTAL COUNT, DIFFERENTIAL COUNT,CONCENTRATION PER CUBIC FOOT, and CONCENTRATION PER CUBIC METER. Alarm settings are available for each particle channel, including a BEEP ON COUNT setting that is useful in filter scanning applications. In addition to the particle channel alarms, alarms can be set for temperature, relative humidity and flow rate.

Up to 3,000 samples can be stored in the internal memory, and can be transferred as a comma delimited ASCII file through the RS-232 serial port to a computer. Up to 14,000 samples can be stored using the 3.5” floppy disk drive. Files from the floppy disk are also in comma delimited format. They can be easily transferred to common spreadsheets. All samples are date and time stamped. Once the data is taken, the user can view or print a variety of reports, such as ALARM VIOLATIONS, AVERAGES, and ISO 14544-1 or FEDERAL STANDARD 209E clean room validation calculations.

An alphanumeric keypad is provided on the touch screen for entering location ID’s. Each sample may be assigned to a location ID when it is acquired. A numeric keypad is provided on the touch screen for entering sample volumes, delays, alarms, and other numerically set parameters. A distinct initial delay may be set independent of subsequent delays between samples. This feature gives the operator extra time to clear the area before the particle counter begins sampling. Other sample settings program the CI-550 to take a certain number of samples, then stop, or to take samples once every given time period. Averages can be automatically printed at the end of a given number of samples. The pump is turned off during long delays to conserve battery power.

Once all of the settings are determined, they may be saved as a program using a name determined by the user. Up to 100 location ID’s are also saved with the program. This enables the user to recall a set of locations and sample settings for a given test situation. Up to 10 programs may be saved in the internal memory. A program can also be saved to the floppy disk—a feature that will save time when validating a large number of rooms on a recurring basis.

The patented particle sensor used in the CI-550 operates on the light scattering principle. It uses a 50 mW laser diode as the light source, and an elliptical mirror collection system. The light scattered by particles and collected by the elliptical mirror is focused onto a solid state photo detector, which converts the light energy into electrical current. The highly efficient optical system and detection electronics provide the means for this instrument to correctly size and count 0.30 μm particles, based on NIST traceable standards.

The CI-550 has been designed to provide rugged, long-term performance. The laser diode light source is controlled with a closed loop drive circuit to maintain a constant intensity over time and temperature variations. The status of the laser power is monitored and displayed as OK or LOW on the main screen. If the laser power falls below 80%, a LOW status is displayed. The rugged laser diode light source, along with the stability of the optics and detection electronics, provides for overall consistent performance. Given the stability of the laser diode control circuitry and amplifier circuits, the CI-550 requires routine calibration only once every 12 months.Specifications

  How are you?
  About the same, thanks for asking.

  So what\'s included in your listing?
  Everything you see in the pictures and nothing you don\'t.

  Anything else?
  I\'ll throw in a box.

  Oh, a smart guy, eh?
  In case that\'s not rhetorical: I\'m no expert, and I\'m certainly not smart enough to know about everything that passes my way. I do my best to evaluate the things I sell, but often defer to the superior knowledge of the prospective buyer.

  Will you ever learn?
  Probably not.

  What’s with your hair?
  Um…wait, what?

  What if the item I buy from you doesn\'t work?
  You have 30 days from receipt to return it for a refund if it doesn\'t do as I describe.

  What if I don\'t like the color?
  Then you have 14 days.

  If I tell you how crappy and obsolete your item is in a condescending enough tone, will you do me the favor of selling it to me for a fraction of your asking price?
  You sure know how to butter a guy up. No.

  I didn’t bother to read your description. Can you fill me in on the details?
  Sure. Send a stamped self-addressed envelope to: mehoff58, c/o , Internet.

  Can I pick up my winnings in person?
  I don\'t know you well enough to know your capabilities.

  OK, may I?
  Certainly!

  I need your item, so lower your price.
  Not really a question. Nope, not a question at all.

  I bought this gadget from you 5 months ago and just found out it doesn’t work. Will you refund my money?
  30 days is my limit. I can’t afford to keep large stores of cash handy for long warranties on used equipment. Besides, I don’t know how you stored it or handled it or if it was damaged in shipping. Anyway, no.

  Did I forget anything?
  What am I, a mind reader?

  Will you discuss these imaginary conversations with your psychiatrist?
  The conversations are quite real, it\'s you who are imaginary.

  You just blew my mind.
  Who said that?
