The variable voltage output option has the capability of two different voltage ranges: a 0–5Vdc range as
standard, and a user-selectable 0–3Vdc range. The ‘Full list of commands’ on how to change the voltage
output, are available from Parker.
The following tables can be used to relate the analogue ouptut 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.

Digital display parameters (ISO 4406/NAS 1638)

Start up
1. Once the icountPD has been connected to a regulated power supply, the product logo is displayed for
approximately five seconds as the icountPD performs a self system diagnostic check.
2. The icountPD then automatically starts monitoring using factory default test parameters.

(c) MTD calibrated

Channel sizes/Limits Measured ISO codes
%RH Moisture sensor reading
Automatic light sensor

Notes: ISO 17/16/14 and

MS = 43% RH if fitted

Digital display indication

The digital display will show the actual measured codes, the channel (µ) size and the user definable limits.
Note that the channel size and limits are displayed alternately.
The Moisture Sensor reading (%RH) will also be shown – if the Moisture Sensor option is fitted.
The order of trigger for both the codes and Moisture Sensor option is:
• Solid digit(s) = code(s) that are at or below the set point (limit)
• Flashing digit(s) = code(s) that are above the set point (limit)
The display for ISO4406 and NAS1638 are identical.

Error detection:
In the unlikely event of a error occurring, the digital display on the icountPD will simply display the actual
error code only – i.e. ERROR 13 (A full list of error codes are detailed in the icountPD User Manual).

Moisture sensor output settings

The Moisture Sensor is an option that can be included when ordering the icountPD.
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.

Saturation 4–20mA 0–3Vdc 0–5Vdc
5% 4.8 0.15 0.25
25% 8 0.75 1.25

Flow control ACC6NN019

A pressure compensated, flow control device

(Parker Hannifin part number ACC6NN019)
has been develop to give the icount PD greater
flexibility.
The flow control device enables testing where flow
ranges are out side the icountPD specification i.e.
(40 – 140 ml/min), or where pipe diameters do not
allow the icountPD to be installed.
P/N ACC6NN019
The flow control device fits onto the downstream
(outlet) side of the icountPD. A 06L EO 24 deg
cone and hydraulic adaptor is supplied which
enables connection directly to the icountPD.
Alternatively the flow control device can be fitted
further down stream.
The compact design requires no setting up or

icountOS – Oil Sampler (IOS)

• New and under development in the detection of
contaminates distribution in various Aviation fuels.
• Portable monitoring tool providing fluid
qualification to ISO 4406:1999 standards.
• Supplements the icount LCM20 and ACM20
product portfolio.
• Quick, simple to use monitoring tool for sampling
fluids from containers, fuel bunkers and holding
tanks.
• Field solution to Laboratory methods for the
detection of solid contamination and free water
inference.
