Important: Some fluids may react with Rust Veto to create gels,
which can result in functional issues within the PCM500. One
example is Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG).
Please check with Pall if there is doubt over the compatibility of test
sample and Rust Veto transit fluid.
PREFACE
The Pall PCM500 On-line Fluid Monitor has been developed to provide accurate and continuous information
on the cleanliness of aqueous solutions, hydraulic fluids and circulatory lubrication system fluids. Fluid
contamination levels monitored are then converted to the widely used contamination codes: ISO4406, SAE
AS4059 table 1 (NAS 1638) and AS4059 table 2. The result data can be exported to Flash Drive, Printer,
PC, PLC or network device..
The self-contained unit provides a portable fluid contamination monitor that can be used with a range of
fluids, including mineral oils and aqueous solutions. Fluid change procedures are included in this manual
and these help ensure the PCM500 monitor is adequately flushed prior to testing on an alternative fluid
application.
The contents of these operating instructions should be read before attempting any aspects of installation,
operation or maintenance.
The product has been tested and quality controlled in accordance with Pall standard procedures. The
customer should carefully inspect the product and ensure it is not damaged and or unsuitable for use. It is
the user’s responsibility to check actual operating conditions to ensure the PCM500 monitor is compatible
with the application and is operated within local safety codes.
NOTICE TO USERS
The PCM500 user manual is provided to assist users in maximising the benefits of the PCM500 portable
fluid cleanliness monitor.
As part of the continuous improvement process that Pall adopt in the development of technology and
satisfying customer requirements, this information or procedure may be subject to change.
Pall welcomes feedback from users who should contact their designated Pall Service Centre.
Please note the PCM500 is shipped to users with, a protective fluid, Rust veto NTP 32, which is miscible in
both aqueous liquids and oils. Please ensure the unit is flushed out before running tests. The unit should
be run for at least three full test cycles on the system fluid before performing a reliable test.
