Description
2. Description
The mobile particle suction extraction system is used to extract dry, adherent
particles from large surfaces and from specific control areas on workpiece carriers
and in process environments.
The particles are suction-released from the surface by a suction nozzle, brush
nozzle, or flat nozzle, and then sucked in.
The compact, combinable case system ensures easy transportation of the particle
suction extraction system and equipment.
Particle suction extraction system – front view
Particle suction extraction is possible with or without the cyclone unit. The
most suitable process depends on different factors, primarily the specific
application and the degree of contamination.
Description
2.1. Particle suction extraction system with cyclone unit
The extracted particles are collected in a clean particle collection jar or directly on
a particle trap via the cyclone unit (2).
The filter unit (6) provides overload protection using a special analysis filter (> 5
µm) to protect against an excessively high particle load.
The particles collected in the particle collection jar are transferred to analysis
filters for the subsequent microscopic analysis using secondary extraction (with
an aqueous medium) and then analyzed under a microscope.
Variant A operating principle: Particle suction extraction system with cyclone unit
Suction extraction via the cyclone unit is particularly suitable for large component
surfaces with greater particle loads.
This dry particle extraction system is very economical compared to wet extraction
due to the absence of liquid extraction media, the reduced logistics workload and
the easily delimited control areas.
Description
2.2. Particle suction extraction system without cyclone unit
The particles are extracted directly via the filter unit and separated from the air
stream using a special analysis filter (>5µm).
The analysis filter can be analyzed using a microscope directly after suction
extraction and any downstream flushing.
The flushing unit can be used to prepare particulates on the filter for analysis (see
Section 5.4)
Variant B operating principle: Particle suction extraction system without cyclone unit
Direct suction extraction via the filter unit is suitable for small surfaces with a light
particle load, such as on workpiece carriers or circuit boards in the process
environment.
Particles are quickly collected, meaning interruptions to processes are kept to a
minimum.
The specially developed flushing unit allows homogeneous filter loading to be
optimized. Manual flushing (see Section 5.4) is performed with an aqueous
medium after suction extraction. The analysis filter can be taken for microscopic
analysis immediately after drying.
The flushing can also be used as a filter cascade (e.g. 5 µm/60 µm) if a higher
particle volume is extracted.

 Connect the C|PS² to the push-button adapter on the grounding

connection (8) and to the socket (33) on the suction unit using the supplied
grounding cable.
Particle suction extraction process
5. Particle suction extraction process
The extraction process shown here is performed with the cyclone unit
and is also valid for an extraction process without a cyclone unit.
If necessary, the device must be cleaned and a blank value determined
before particle suction extraction – see Section 6.2 for more details.
5.1. Screwing on or replacing the particle collection jar
4
4
Replacing the particle collection jar
 Screw on a new, clean particle collection jar (4) into the cyclone unit from
beneath.
 Once particle suction extraction is complete, unscrew the particle collection
jar (4) to be analyzed, close with the lid and label with the relevant sample
details.
 Use secondary extraction (with an aqueous medium) to transfer the particles
collected in the particle collection jar (4) onto the analysis filter for the
subsequent microscopic analysis and then analyze under a microscope.
You will also find information on the particle suction extraction process
and can see the precise procedure in our application video at:
https://bit.ly/3aoSWG9
5.2. Attaching or replacing the particle trap
The cyclone unit can also extract directly onto the particle trap if
contamination is less severe
13 14
Attaching the particle trap
 If necessary, unscrew particle collection jar and screw on adapter (13) for the
particle trap.
 Attach particle trap (14) to the adapter (13).
 After extraction, detach particle trap (14) by pulling downwards, close with the
lid, and label with the relevant sample details.
 Then analyze the particle trap under a microscope.
5.3. Replacing or inserting the mesh filter
A filter unit is provided as a safeguard and overload protection in case any

particles not separated in the cyclone unit are still forwarded. The cyclone unit
overload protection is necessary if there are very large, fitful extraction volumes of
particles.
15
17
16
Removing and archiving the mesh filter
 Open filter unit after undoing and swiveling away the three knurled
screws (16)
 Use the tweezers to remove the mesh filter (15). To do so, attach the
tweezers in the designated hole (circled) in the filter unit and remove the
mesh filter.
 Archive the mesh filter in a filter frame with an archiving card (17) and
label with the relevant sample details on the rear.
 Then analyze the mesh filter with a microscope (as per ISO 16232). The
particles on the mesh filter removed from the filter unit complement the
microscopic analysis.
 Insert the new mesh filter (15) into the filter clamping point.
 Remount filter unit, ensuring the mesh filter (15) is positioned correctly and
tighten with the knurled screws (16).
If particle suction extraction is performed without a cyclone unit, analysis

is carried out based on the mesh filter evaluation only.
5.4. Flushing the mesh filter
The specially developed flushing unit allows homogeneous filter loading to be

optimized. Manual flushing is performed with an aqueous medium after suction
extraction. The analysis filter can be taken for microscopic analysis immediately
after drying.
The flushing can also be used as a filter cascade (e.g. 5 µm/60 µm) if a higher
particle volume is extracted.
16
15
Flushing to optimize particle distribution
 Open flushing unit (6) after undoing and swiveling away the three knurled
screws (16).
 If the mesh filter (15) features inhomogeneous particle distribution, spread
the particles uniformly across the mesh filter (15) by flushing with an aqueous
medium and then suction.
To do so, an aqueous film or liquid column is created with the aqueous
medium, in which the particles are diffusely distributed. The particles are
fixed in their current position on the filter after sudden suction in the aqueous
medium.
 Then remove and analyze the mesh filter as described in Section 5.3.
Do not set the suction unit to the operating point (OP) for flushing; set
it to its lowest level instead – see Section 5.5 for more details.

Setting the suction unit to the operating point (OP)
 Before starting, switch on the suction unit at the I/O switch (C).
Set the operating point (OP) using the +/- keys (D) where necessary.
Suction level indicator (E) at OP mark, as shown in the photo.
 The suction unit can be started manually on the vacuum extractor touch
panel (A) or on the suction hose using Bluetooth remote control (B).
Operating above the operating point (BP) may cause a reduction in the
available suction time (due to thermal shutdown on the vacuum extractor
unit).
Operating below the BP will have an adverse effect on the filtration rate
during filtration via the cyclone unit.
5.6. Carrying out the particle suction extraction procedure
11
Extracting particles
 Turn nozzle bracket (11) to open it and remove the suction nozzle.
 Extract the particles with the selected suction nozzle – e.g. with brush
nozzle (9) as in the photo.
 Insert the suction nozzle into the nozzle bracket after use and turn the
nozzle bracket to close.
The filter load affects the suction power significantly.

The mesh filter becomes blocked if the suction power is inadequate.
This is revealed by a rise in differential pressure, which the differential
pressure measuring device can monitor.
Only use the mesh filter specified in the scope of delivery! Other types of
filters can cause malfunctions.
During suction extraction, ensure that you take samples from

components or surfaces from the outside to the inside and from top to
bottom.
A vacuum must be applied for about 30 sec. after suction extraction and
before each change of a nozzle variant (including removing the particles
from the brush attachments) to ensure that all particles extracted from
the component can be found in the analysis. You can do this by holding
the suction hose with the respective nozzle attachment in the
atmosphere while the suction unit is active.
You will also find information on the particle suction extraction process
with or without the cyclone unit and can see the precise procedure in our
With cyclone unit Without cyclone unit
5.7. Instructions on using the suction and brush nozzles
Suction nozzle
Correct distance and angle to hold the suction nozzle
Incorrect distance and angle to hold the suction nozzle
 When using the suction nozzle or flat nozzle, ensure that you don't block
the nozzle by closing the suction nozzle head. Holding the nozzle at an
angle ensures adequate suction power is achieved (optimal at a degree of
about 35°–40°).
 If you apply the nozzle with strong contact pressure, it may leave marks or
generate particles on the surface undergoing extraction.
Brush nozzle
Applying the brush nozzle correctly
 
Applying the brush nozzle incorrectly
 When using the brush nozzle, ensure that the brush nozzle is not
applied at an angle.
 The contact pressure should not cause the brush hairs to bend. You
should aim to apply the brush nozzle at a right angle.
Flat nozzle
Applying the flat nozzle correctly
Applying the flat nozzle incorrectly
 When using the flat nozzle, ensure that the contact pressure does
not cause the brush hairs to bend.
 You should aim to guide the flat nozzle with your hand parallel to the
component surface.
You will also find information on selecting the nozzle and can see the
5.8. Differential pressure measurement
The testo 526-1 measurement device is used to gauge the pressure in the system
after the mesh filter in relation to the ambient pressure during particle suction
extraction. The pressure difference is an indicator for the reproducibility of the
selected process parameters.
The following guide values are given when using the vacuum cleaner

Risk of injury from sharp edges

The cleaning of the cyclone unit, filter unit and floatation unit must be
carried out with care. There are sharp edges, some of which are relevant
to the function, at the connection stems and transitions. In order to
exclude the risk of injury, these sharp edges must only be cleaned with a
cleaning cloth folded several times.
Cleaning the laboratory bottle
 Clean the laboratory bottle (Pos.4) with an industrial dishwasher or an

alcohol-soaked cleaning cloth.
If you do not intend to use the particle suction extraction system after thorough
cleaning, close the cyclone unit and the filter unit (on top and at sides) with the
plugs to prevent them from becoming contaminated with particles.
Closed, protected particle suction extraction system, cyclone unit and filter unit
Cleaning
 Cover the system with the supplied protective hood to provide

optimum protection against contamination from the surrounding
environment.

Cleaning
6.2. Determining the blank value after cleaning
Cleanliness testing on components using extraction entails a risk of not

only particles from the test component but also foreign particles not
originating from the component affecting the analysis results. If the
proportion of foreign particles ("blank value") is too high, this can result in
an incorrect evaluation of component cleanliness. The blank value
represents the total value for impurities not originating from the
component. (Source: VDA 19.1, p.60)
The user determines the required blank value on an individual basis.

Once the blank value specifications have been met, the system is ready
for particle suction extraction.
6.2.1. Determining the blank value with or without the prefilter
There are different options for determining the blank value:

Determining the blank value with ambient air from the test environment.
Determining the blank value with ambient air from the test environment
(blank value from the particle suction extraction system only) by using a
prefilter.
Blank value, including the test mat or test surface. The relevant surfaces
are actively suctioned while the blank value is determined.
Determining the blank value, suction from the atmosphere
Cleaning
Determining the blank value, suction with prefilter
6.2.2. Determining the blank value

 Insert a new mesh filter as described in Section 5.3.
If you are working with the cyclone unit, screw on a clean, empty
particle collection jar as described in Section 5.1.
 Do not perform particle suction extraction to determine the blank
value.
 Hold the suction nozzle or brush nozzle with or without prefilter,
pointing it upwards into the atmosphere and switch on the suction unit
for 2 minutes.
 Perform a visual inspection of the filter unit and laboratory bottle.
If necessary, rinse or extract the laboratory bottle contents and
analyze the mesh filters.

For velocity measurement with the Pitot tube, the
internal pressure sensor 0 - 100 hPa is the best for
velocities from 5 - 100 m/s. For measurements in the
range of 1 - 12 m/sec., use the external differential
pressure probe 0638 1347 with measuring range
0 - 100 Pa. The velocity v is calculated in the instru-
ment from the pressure difference p in the Pitot tube
according to the following formula:
v [m/sec.] = S x 200000 x p [hPa]

rho [g/m3]
To activate the velocity rate measurement and volume
flow rate calculation, please refer to chapter 6.5.6.
Alternatively, it is possible to enter the variables which
influence the air density at the measuring location:
- temperature (see point 6.4.1)
- relative humidity (see point 6.4.2)
- absolute pressure (see point 6.4.3)
Additional input options for calculating the velocity or

volume flow rate are the
- cross-section (see point 6.4.5)
- offset factor (see point 6.4.6)
