Overview
The Kanomax 3715-06D is a high-reliability, remotely operable airborne particle counter engineered for continuous environmental monitoring in regulated cleanroom and controlled manufacturing environments. Utilizing a calibrated laser diode light source and a precision aerosol sampling system, it detects and classifies particles via light scattering principles in accordance with ISO 21501-4 and JIS B 9921 standards. Its integrated vacuum pump eliminates dependency on external air handling units, enabling autonomous operation in distributed or hard-to-access locations—such as ceiling-mounted ISO Class 5–8 cleanrooms, isolators, RABS, and HVAC ducts. With a nominal flow rate of 2.83 L/min (0.1 CFM), the instrument delivers statistically robust particle concentration data across six simultaneous size channels (0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, and 10.0 µm), supporting compliance with ISO 14644-1, EU GMP Annex 1, and USP . Designed for 24/7 unattended operation, its mean time between failures exceeds 8,000 hours for the vacuum module and ≥10 years for the optical assembly.
Key Features
- Integrated vacuum pump with 8,000-hour service life—no external vacuum source required
- Simultaneous six-channel particle counting (0.3–10.0 µm) with NIST-traceable calibration verification capability
- 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen interface with real-time graphical display and configurable alarm thresholds (0–100% range)
- Multi-mode power architecture: supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), AC 100–240 V, DC 12–24 V, and optional battery backup
- Sterilization-resistant enclosure rated for repeated exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) and formaldehyde decontamination cycles
- Embedded data logging: stores up to 4,320 timestamped records with full audit trail (date, time, channel counts, flow status, sensor health)
- Modbus RTU (RS-485) and Modbus TCP/IP native support for seamless integration into SCADA, BMS, and MES platforms
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The 3715-06D is validated for use in non-hazardous, non-corrosive ambient air and compressed gases (e.g., instrument air, nitrogen) within pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor, and medical device manufacturing facilities. It meets ISO 21501-4 requirements for counting efficiency, size resolution, and false count rate. Its mechanical and electrical design complies with IEC 61000-6-2 (immunity) and IEC 61000-6-4 (emissions). For regulated environments, the unit supports 21 CFR Part 11-compliant data integrity when paired with validated software platforms that enforce electronic signatures, audit trails, and role-based access control. Optional temperature and relative humidity sensing enables concurrent environmental parameter correlation per ISO 14644-2 Annex B.
Software & Data Management
Data output follows standard Modbus register mapping for direct ingestion into industrial automation systems. Raw particle count data—including per-channel cumulative and differential concentrations—is timestamped with millisecond precision and includes diagnostic flags (e.g., low-flow alert, laser degradation warning, pump pressure deviation). Local storage retains records even during network interruption, with automatic resynchronization upon recovery. When deployed with Kanomax’s KAN-View™ or third-party compliant middleware (e.g., Ignition SCADA, Siemens Desigo CC), the device supports automated report generation aligned with ISO 14644-2 surveillance requirements, including trend analysis, exceedance alerts, and certificate-of-conformance export (PDF/CSV).
Applications
- Continuous monitoring of classified cleanrooms (ISO 5–8) in aseptic processing suites
- In-line particle surveillance at critical process points: filling lines, lyophilizer chambers, gloveports
- Validation and routine requalification of HVAC filtration efficiency and room air change rates
- Environmental monitoring in semiconductor fab tool interlocks and mini-environments
- Real-time feedback for contamination control during VHP decontamination cycle verification
- Supporting Annex 1 (2022) requirements for dynamic particle monitoring during manufacturing operations
FAQ
Does the 3715-06D require external vacuum or compressed air supply?
No—the unit incorporates a maintenance-free, brushless vacuum pump rated for 8,000 operating hours.
Can the device be integrated into an existing BMS using Modbus TCP/IP?
Yes—it natively supports both Modbus RTU (RS-485) and Modbus TCP/IP with configurable slave ID (1–247) and register addressing.
Is the instrument suitable for use in VHP-decontaminated isolators?
Yes—its housing, gaskets, and internal components are chemically resistant to vaporized hydrogen peroxide per ASTM E2994-15 testing protocols.
How is data integrity ensured for GxP-regulated applications?
When connected to validated software with electronic signature, audit trail, and permission management features, the device satisfies 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 requirements.
What is the recommended calibration interval?
Annual calibration is advised per ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories; field verification using NIST-traceable PSL standards can be performed semi-annually.
