Memory Screen is used to view available memory or to clear the memory.  The Memory 
Screen is accessed by selecting MEMORY from the menu.  Figure 18 shows the 
Memory Screen.

   CLEAR MEMORY! 

Figure 18 

– Memory Screen 

FREE shows the percent of space available for data storage. When 0% is displayed, 
memory is full and the oldest data will be overwritten by new data.   

SAMPLES shows the number of samples which can be stored in memory before the 
memory is full.  When 0 is displayed, memory is full and the oldest data will be 
overwritten. 

5.6.2.  Clearing Memory 

To clear memory, press the ENTER key while viewing the Memory Screen.  This will 
delete all the sample events in memory. A warning screen will be displayed to prevent 
accidental erasure. 

5.7. 

Count Alarms Screen 

Configure count alarm limits for two particle sizes. To disable count alarms, select OFF 
in the field next to the COUNT ALARM header. The alarm for a specific particle size can 
be disabled by setting the alarm value to zero. The alarm is active when the count is 
equal to or greater than the alarm limit. The maximum alarm limit value is 9,999,999. 
Figure 19 shows the Count Alarm Screen.  

Alarm values do not change with the count units setting (TC, /L, CF, M3). In other 
words, a value of 1,000 will alarm at 1,000 counts or 1,000 particles per liter or 1,000 
particles per cubic foot depending on the count unit setting.
