PCM500 Series Fluid
Cleanliness Monitor
PIPCM500EN

The PCM500 Cleanliness Monitor is aportable diagnostic monitoring device thatprovides a measurement of system fluid
cleanliness.
The PCM500 uses proven mesh blockage technology
to report accurate, reliable, 3 part ISO cleanliness codes
for most types of fluids, in all types of environment.

•		 Monitors mineral, synthetic, or water based fluids•		 Results are unaffected by the presence of water,
air, or if the fluid is dark•		Get accurate, 3 part* ISO cleanliness code resultsin under 6 minutes and take preventative actionquickly•		Upload real-time results directly to mobile devices foranalysis and action•		’Pass off’ cleanliness of new builds quickly andconfidently

Protect your systems from catastrophic failure by
detecting abnormal fluid cleanliness conditions quickly.
The PCM500 can be permanently installed to monitor
critical applications (including component test facilities) or
used as a portable device for routine condition monitoringof various fluid systems.

PCM500 Cleanliness Monitor

PCM500 Monitor FeaturesOperation•		Proven mesh blockage technology provides accurate

The colour LCD touch screen allows simple menu driven
input of sample identification, monitor configuration anddata output.

•		Measures fluid cleanliness, temperature, viscosity

The HD screen displays real time data and test results
which are automatically stored for subsequent trending
and evaluation. An optional Bluetooth/USB controlled
printer allows the operator to produce a hard copy of thetest results if required.

3-part* ISO 4406, AS 4059 Table 1 (NAS 1638) or
AS 4059 Table 2 cleanliness codes
plus options for water content•		Self cleaning procedure between each test ensures
optimum accuracy of results•		Compact, robust, fully self contained portable design(fluid sampling pump included)•		Simple to use, colour touch screen interface•		Long battery life for extended operation in remotelocations•		Supplied with a heavy-duty wheeled flight case for easeof transportation*3 part code measured at 4 μm, 6 μm and 14 μm perISO 16338.

All ancillary components for high and low pressure online sample monitoringare contained within
the monitor, with
sufficient internal power
to complete 35 tests
between charges. (Mainspower can be used if
preferred).
For further protectionand ease of transport,
thePCM500 is supplied ina robust flight case.
