Section 1: Pall PCM500 and PCM500W Fluid
Cleanliness Monitors
Specification and Requirements
1.1 General Description
The Pall PCM500/PCM500W is specifically developed as a portable diagnostic
monitoring device that provides an assessment of system fluid cleanliness. A fixed
display/controller allows for simple menu driven input of sample identification, monitor
configuration and data output in ISO4406, SAE AS 4059 Table 1 (NAS 1638) or SAE
AS 4059 Table 2 formats. The display/controller shows the test results, an option to
graph results and this data is automatically stored for subsequent trending and
evaluation. The self-contained design provides for a portable fluid contamination
monitor that can be used with a range of fluids including mineral oils and aqueous
solutions. Note: The PCM500W should not be used for aqueous solutions.
Fluid change procedures are included in this manual and these help to ensure the
PCM500 monitor is adequately flushed ready for an alternative fluid application
See Pall Datasheet M&EPCM500EN for full technical specification

WARNING: Health and Safety.
Observe caution when handling fluids and pay attention to instructions of
safe use in the Material Safety Data sheet and COSHH regulations.
Wear protective clothing if prescribed; e.g. safety gloves, clothing and
footwear.
Caution: Health and Safety.
Ensure there is adequate lighting to operate the equipment.
Observe local regulations for factory use.
