Product Presentation
The LPA3 measures and quantifies the numbers of solid contaminants in Hydraulic, Lubrication and Transmission applications. The
unit is designed to be an accurate instrument for applications utilising mineral oil as the operating fluid. Other fluid media versions
are available for offshore [N] and aerospace phosphate ester [S] applications.

The unit can operate using any of the international standard formats ISO 4406, NAS 1638, AS 4059 revisions E and F, ISO 11218,
GJB420B, GBT14039.

The LPA3 incorporates an IP rated connector for power as well as separate USB connections for computer remote monitoring/
settings access and direct download to a USB memory stick.

The integrated data logger records up to 4000 test results internally, for use where a computer cannot be permanently connected.

The instrument utilises the light extinction principle whereby a specially collimated precision LED light source is used to illuminate
the test media, this light is then captured via a photodiode module. When a particle passes through the beam it reduces the amount
of light received by the diode, and from this change in condition, the size of the particle can be deduced and subsequently counted.

Benefits

• A programmable 10.1” full colour touch-screen LCD display for clear visual indication of results
• High speed sample times up to 15 times faster than LPA2
• Instant results download via USB
• Proactive maintenance technology
• Online real-time monitoring
• Long-life lithium ion battery
• Optional thermal printer for an instant hard copy of results
• Optional Moisture and temperature sensor

Product features
Moisture sensor

LPA3-W models measure water content using a capacitive RH (relative humidity) sensor. The result is expressed as percentage
saturation. 100% RH corresponds to the point at which free water exists in the fluid, i.e. the fluid is no longer able to hold the water
in a dissolved solution. This is also normally the point at which significant damage occurs in a hydraulic system, so is an ideal
measurement scale that is independent of the fluid characteristics.

The water saturation point (100% RH) is temperature dependent, so the temperature is measured at the same time. This enables
results to be compared meaningfully.

The temperature measured is that of the fluid passing through the unit.

Note: this may differ from that of the hydraulic system, depending on flow rate, pipe length and ambient temperature.
It is not intended to be an accurate indication of system temperature, but to provide a reference for the RH measurement at the
point of sample. Nevertheless, experience has shown the temperature measured is within a few degrees of that of the hydraulic
system, in most applications.

 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Data logger

The LPA3 includes a built-in data logger, which adds the facility to log and timestamp test results locally within an internal
memory, even when not connected to a computer.

• Test logging is determined by the log settings

• Each log entry is time-stamped and contains the LPA3 serial number, so that it can be identified later.
• The LPA3 memory has space for around 4000 log entries. When full, the oldest log entry is overwritten.

Data transfer via USB stick

All versions of the LPA3 allow direct download via a USB memory stick. With the LPA3 powered ON, plug the USB stick into the
USB connector on the side of the unit.

The USB stick icon appears on the right-hand side of the screen when the stick is plugged in. The arrow icon pointing to the icon
is visible when the LPA3 tries to write the log file to the stick. A successful download is denoted by a green tick emblem. If the
download fails, a red cross icon will appear. If this error is present, the memory stick may need to be re-formatted (formatting
should be done to FAT32).

The icon will remain visible until the USB stick is removed, at which point all the icons associated with the USB download
function disappear.

The USB stick provided with the unit is pre-formatted for the transfer. Other USB sticks may need to be re-formatted (FAT32 or
FAT32Ex filesystems, this is normal for file transfers between Windows systems and devices).

Optional built-in pressure transducer

LPA30P & LPA3WP models measure system pressure at inlet of the unit via a built in 0-600 bar pressure transducer with a sensor
accuracy of +/-0.5% Full scale.
This transducer can be used to ensure a test is performed at sufficient pressure (see page 19). Reading on screen can be chosen
in either bar or psi by the touch of a button

Optional on-board thermal printer

Options within the product code allow for the choice of an on-board printer. Instant result via the USB download gives a fast-digital
copy where the printer provides a hard copy for files and written reports.

Fluid compatibility product versions

Options within the product code allow for a tailored product to suit and be compatible for a range of fluids.
M and MW version: Mineral and synthetic oils, plus diesel fluids
N version: Offshore/Subsea and water-based fluids
S version: Phosphate ester and aggressive fluids.

5.1.1 Physical procedure

NOTE: Unit features are turned off as factory standard. This includes the automatic print, moisture sensor test (if
applicable). Should any of these be required they MUST be switch on prior to performing an analysis, please consult the
relevant section of the operators guide on how to action this.

• Locate/decide on tapping point into the hydraulic circuit and ensure it is fitted with an M16x2 pressure test point.

If modifying the hydraulic system, ensure all pressure has been removed and the system isolated.
! NOTE

• B Remove the waste cap from the low-pressure waste connector on the side of the unit.
• Note: this is done by pushing back the collar on the quick release fitting, this will free the waste plug

Do not pull on the orange retaining strap or the plug itself. This will cause damage to the plug
and affect its functionality ! NOTE

• Locate and remove the waste hose from the kit and decouple the mating fittings

• B Connect the waste hose to the LPA3 by pushing back the collar on the quick release fitting and inserting the
male end of the waste hose. Note: ensure the male fitting is pushed fully home and that the collar has secured itself
back in place.

• Place the opposite end of the waste hose into a suitable receptacle to collect the outgoing fluid. Note: it is advisable
to utilise the supplied waste container for the initial purge of the unit (to remove previously sampled fluid to avoid
cross contamination of fluids and samples). Once the initial purge is complete, the waste hose should be returned to
the sample reservoir (where possible).

Do NOT connect the waste hose to a pressurized system. This will cause the LPA3 to malfunction
and could cause internal damage. There must be no extra restriction placed on the waste hose,
this must be vented to atmosphere. ! NOTE

• Locate and remove the M16x2 microbore pressure hose from the kit and remove the caps

• A Remove the cap from the M16x2 test point on the LPA3

• A Connect one end of the pressure hose to the test point. Ensure that this is fully engaged before proceeding to
the next step.

• Connect the other end of the hose to the M16x2 hydraulic test point of the system being tested

• The product can now be subjected to system pressure safely.

Reverse this action to remove the power charge cable.

Note: The LPA3 status of ‘charging’ is shown by a flashing LED.

F The LPA3 is designed as a standalone portable unit. However, if you wish to connect the product to a computer and
utilise the product with its LPA-View software then this can be done via a standard A to B USB cable (this is provided
with the unit).

The cable is plugged in to the forward most USB connector as shown in the image above (figure 6.1). The other end of
the cable can then be connected to a PC that has MP Filtri’s bespoke LPA View software loaded for communication/log
download/remote control.

Please see document 200.054 for further information on using the LPA-View software.

E There is also an option to expedite the log download direct to a USB memory stick. An FAT32 formatted memory
stick can be plugged to the ‘A type’ connector located on the side of the unit, to the left of the PC connection.

To ensure IP rating of the product is always met, caps for the USB connection
MUST be reconnected after use ! NOTE

5.2.14 Cleanliness level settings icon

Item 11, fig. 5.3. This icon allows access to setting of the alarm levels associated
with the selected reporting format.
Alarms can be set on combinations of cleanliness codes, water content and
temperature. The available codes, and their interpretation, vary according to the set
test Format. For example, it is possible to set a threshold of “NAS 11” or
“ISO 18/16/15” or “AS4059E 8B-F”, etc.

In general, there are upper and lower limits that can be set for the cleanliness level,
also for water content and temperature if applicable. An alarm, if enabled, will
become active if any of the associated (upper/lower) limits are exceeded.
Figure 5.14
However, if a field is left empty (blank) this is interpreted as a “don’t care” setting.

ISO 4406 / GBT 14039 alarm levels

ISO 4406 represents cleanliness using codes for the number of particles greater than 4, 6 and 14 μm(c).
These codes can be used as limits for the alarms by selecting the ISO 4406 test Format and then entering values as required
(fig. 5.15).

 PRODUCT OPERATION
NAS1638 alarm levels

NAS1638 can be used by selecting this as the test Format. The headings and boxes for the available settings change appropri-
ately. NAS1638 represents the overall cleanliness level as a single code, this being the highest of the individual codes generated
for each defined particle size. Hence, we have the option of setting a limit on this overall contamination class (the Basic Class), or
we can set individual limits on any combination of the classes for the defined particle size ranges (fig. 5.16).

Figure 5.16

AS4059E table 2 / AS4059F table 2 alarm levels

AS4059E Table 2 uses letters instead of numbers to indicate the particle size range, so the settings are labelled appropriately.
The standard specifies ways to represent a cleanliness level using only a subset of the available particle sizes, for example B-F.
The user can achieve this by only entering settings for the sizes desired, leaving the others empty. So, a limit of AS4059 7B-F
could be represented simply by entering a value of 7 for B, C, D, E and F.

AS4059F Table 2 is identical except the letters have been replaced by the numerical particle size values (fig. 5.17).

Figure 5.17

AS4059E table 1 / ISO 11218 / AS4059F table 1 / GJB 420 B alarm levels

These four standards are similar except for terminology and reporting format. The actual numeric sizes and class thresholds are the same.
Should an alarm exceed the programmed level, the corresponding format will show in the appropriate code/class (fig. 5.18).

 PRODUCT OPERATION
5.2.20 Manual flush operation button

Item 18, fig. 5.3. Selecting this icon will open the flush valve and allow a free flow
of fluid through the unit. This allows for any previously used fluids to be purged from
Manual Flush
the hoses and the unit itself, thus reducing the risk of cross contamination as well as
providing relevant fluid that is more indicative of what is occurring within the system Figure 5.30
at the time of test. Whilst the flush cycle is running the text turns red and states
‘Flushing’ (see fig. 5.31). To close the flush valve, press the button again.
Flushing
Note: the flush button is disabled during a test (including the auto flush part of
Figure 5.31
the sequence). Should this cycle need to be stopped, press the Sampling button
(fig. 5.27) to stop the test.

If the programmable auto flush is ignored i.e. set to zero, a manual flush will be
required. If no flush is performed the pump will immediately start to draw fluid, this
will include any previously tested fluid within the unit/hoses meaning the result will
not be indicative of the system cleanliness.

A manual flush must be performed if the auto flush is not selected. Failure to flush/purge fluid
from the unit and hoses will result in anomalous results and can affect the cleanliness reading
achieved during the test. ! NOTE

5.2.21 Printer icon

Item 19, fig. 5.3. Tapping the printer icon will print the last test result in the result

Stop Testing When Clean: This is a feature intended for cleaning rigs or “filter trolley” type applications. This requires the alarm
levels for the relevant standards to be set see section 5.2.14. The LPA3 continues testing until the fluid is “clean”, at which point
an alarm is signaled and testing stops. To select this option, activate the tick box

Figure 5.43 Figure 5.44

Confirm Target Level before Stopping: this helps to ensure that a test sequence is not terminated too soon, when there are still
a few large particles in the system.

When selected, A new option will appear that allows a user defined number of confirmation tests to be run if required.
The number in the box is how many successive “clean” results are needed before testing halts and can be set via the slider scale.

 TROUBLESHOOTING / FAQ
6 Troubleshooting / FAQ
6.1 Misuse of Product

• The product should be connected to a power supply within the rating of the product and not wired directly to the mains.

• This product should be connected to a hydraulic line; this must be within the pressure range of the unit (<2 ÷ <420 bar).

• Connection hoses should never be allowed to lie along the floor when the LPA3 is installed and in use.

• The operator should follow all standard operating procedures previously set at the operating location as well as the
procedures required by the manufacturer.

• The LPA3 is not suitable for use in an explosive environment or an ATEX zone.

• Over-tightening of test points/ hoses can damage threads causing the unit to fail.

6.2 Fault Finding

Unexpected results obtained from sample

• Check that the microbore pressure hose has been fully connected at both the system and LPA3 ends.

• High water / aeration levels

• Antifoam additive package within sample fluid

Remote Device dialogue not responding to buttons being pressed

• Check that correct COM port has been selected in the Remote Device dialogue.

• Check USB driver has been installed.

• Disconnect power supply to LPA3 and then reconnect it.

If the LPA3 has been subjected to excessive contamination and a blockage is suspected, a flush with a suitable fluid may clear
the blockage.

The standard LPA3 is fitted with Viton seals, so Petroleum Ether or Iso Propyl Alcohol may be used for this purpose, in conjunction
with the MP Filtri UK Bottle Sampling Unit. See flushing guidelines on supplied product USB.
