Preamble
3. THE DIFFERENT MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLES
There exists two measurement principles, they are: direct measurement and the indirect
measurement (also known as with recovery or under bell).
The instrument can work in depressurisation (optional) both in direct and indirect
measurement.
3.1. DIRECT MEASUREMENT
Calibrated flow tube

Regulator
Dp
Absolute
pressure
sensor
Atmosphere
Air pressure
supply
Flow
Test part
Differential
pressure sensor
As shown in the diagram above the test pressure is applied directly to the test part input
after having flowed through the calibrated flow tube.
Once the test part is filled, the ATEQ D520 measures the drop in pressure at the
extremities of the calibrated flow tube with a differential sensor.
UM-22100H-U
Preamble
3.2. INDIRECT MEASUREMENT (OR RECOVERY MODE)
Regulator
Absolute
pressure
sensor
Calibrated flow tube

Dp
Atmosphere
Air supply
Test part
Flow
Differential
pressure sensor
The calibrated flow tube is placed following the output of the test part. The output of the
calibrated flow tube is to the atmosphere.
Depending on the part type, it may be possible to use a bell (ex: shower head where it
is impossible to recover the flow other than through the use of a bell). This method can
only be used if the recovery of the flow is easy.
The indirect measurement allows a considerable gain in time as the flow which arrives
in the calibrated flow tube is already stabilised.
UM-22100H-U
Preamble
4. PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE & VISCOSITY EFFECT ON THE MEASUREMENT
4.1. PRESSURE VARIATION
As shown in the direct measurement diagram, the test part is in series in the test circuit,
the test pressure set by the regulator is not entirely restored at the input of the test part
due to pressure losses caused by the calibrated flow tube. Additionally the output
pressure of the regulator changes depending on the flows.
The results are always expressed as a function of the test pressure. That is why a
silicium sensor constantly monitors the real test pressure applied to the part. Depending
on the pressure value read the ATEQ D520 applies a correction factor which allows a
constant compensation for the pressure drops in the test circuit.
Note that the further the test part is from the cell, the higher the pressure drop is. This
should be avoided (possibility of pressure measurement on the part).
4.2. VISCOSITY AND TEMPERATURE VARIATION
The viscosity of a gas is directly linked to its temperature. The higher the temperature is,
the greater the viscosity. The law of Poiseuille shows that when the viscosity
increases, the pressure drop increases.
These two parameters, temperature and viscosity have an influence on the accuracy of
the measurement. A correction is applied depending on the real temperature of the gas
flowing through the system.
Variations in the temperature of the parts during the test and in relation to each other
should be avoided by the "High precision" mode (optional):
An automatic acquisition cycle on a known master value is realised before each test
cycle, it allows calculating the test part value with the current atmospherics conditions.
UM-22100H-U
Preamble
5. CALIBRATION
There exist 2 different types of calibration.

5.1. FACTORY CALIBRATION
The factory calibration is set in the instrument.

Display
1000
Master leak
1000 l/h
Calibrated flow
tube
1000 l/h
Note: this calibration does not take into account tube lengths, seal jig restrictions, ...
5.2. MANUAL CALIBRATION
It is possible that the unit the instrument is delivered in or some external elements
(seals, pipes...) result in the factory calibration being unsatisfactory.
In this case a manual calibration taking into account the previously stated elements, can
be carried out by the operator. For this calibration, the calibrated master leak should be
used in the same conditions as the parts to be measured (diameter, length of the pipes).

2.2.2. 6) Pneumatic air supply
The air is supplied through the filter placed on the back

panel of the instrument.
The air supply must absolutely be clean and dry. The presence of dusts, oil or
impurities, causes a risk of improper operation of the instrument despite the filter
supplied.
When the instrument operates in vacuum the entry of debris into the instrument must be
avoided. For this purpose it is highly recommended that an appropriate leak proof filter
is fitted between the test part and the instrument. This filter can be supplied by ATEQ.
The presence of impurities, oil or humidity in the air may cause a deterioration for
which the guarantee will not be valid.
According to the ISO 8573-1 norm concerning the quality levels of compressed
air for measurement instruments in industrial environments:
ATEQ recommends:
Grain size and concentration
CLASS 1
(0,1 m and 0,1 mg/m3)
Dew point under pressure
CLASS 2
(- 40 of dew)
Maximal concentration in oil
CLASS 1
(0,01 mg/m3)
ATEQ recommends the installation:

Of an air drier allowing the obtaining of a dry air with a dew point at less than 40,
Of a 25 microns and 1/100 of a micron double filter.
Optimisation of the operation:
The air supply pressure must be between 400 kPa and 800 kPa (4 and 8 bar) to ensure
a perfect operation of the pneumatic distributors.
In the event of the use of a mechanical regulator, it is necessary to have an air
pressure supply which is at least 100 kPa (1 bar) over the test pressure with a
minimum of 400 kPa (4 bar).
In the event of the use of an electronic regulator, the input pressure must be at
least 10 % over the full scale value of the electronic regulator + 100 kPa (+ 1 bar).

2.2.1. Flow test (direct or indirect)

When a fluid (gas) passes through a calibrated flow tube (laminar flow), a pressure drop
takes place, the value of which is proportional to the flow.
2.2.2. Test with reference
This kind of test is an option. It's named "Rich" or "High Precision". It's allows shifting
the pneumatic circuit to a master (reference program), this is to make a learning before
measuring on the test part (flow program).
The master characteristics are to be informed in the (single) "reference" program. See
the "reference" function in the chapter 4.
Procedure for test with reference:
Program the reference cycle.
Program the flow test cycles with the same parameters as the reference one.
Activate the reference function in the flow cycle.
2.2.3. Operator mode test
This test type allows the operator to carry out actions (or checks) on the part undergoing
a test then to confirm them with the "START"

key if the test is considered to be
key if the test is considered to be bad.
2.3. ADJUSTMENT OF THE PARAMETERS

2.3.1. Coupling time
The coupling (also known as wait) times A and B are cycle start parameters.
When there is no automatic connector, the coupling time A is a part of the cycle.
In the event of an instrument with automatic connector the coupling time A allows the
activation of a first connector as soon as the cycle starts and to delay the pressurisation
of the test part. The coupling time B allows the activation of a second automatic
connector. These coupling times ensure a better stabilisation of the seals placed on the
test part.
)Adjust this parameter according to the method described in 2.3.
2.3.2. Fill time
This is the time taken to pressurise and initialise the flow in the test part.
) Adjust this parameter according to the method described in 2.3.
2.3.3. Stabilisation time
This time allows the stabilisation of the flow in the part. If the stabilisation time is too
short, parasite flow variations can cause inaccurate readings.
It is therefore recommended to start with a long stabilisation time and to progressively
reduce it until a stable reading of flow can be made.
2.3.4. Test time
The test time can be a set value or infinite. During all this time the instrument indicates if
the flow in the part measured is between the minimum and maximum reject values.
When the test time is infinite, the fill pressure monitoring is inoperative. It is
therefore necessary to be careful not to apply an excessive pressure to the part being
tested.
2.3.5. Pressure unit
The different units are: bar, mbar, PSI, Pa, kPa, MPa.
UM-22100H-U

2.3.6. Max fill
This function allows the setting of a maximum fill pressure which sets off an alarm if it is
exceeded.
2.3.7. Min fill
This function allows the setting of a minimum fill pressure threshold which sets of an
alarm if the pressure is not reached. This function is not active when an infinite test time
is set.
2.3.8. Reject unit
The reject units available depending on the system chosen by the operator are:
SI System: ml/h, l/h, ml/s, ml/min.
USA System: in3/h, ft3/h, in3/min, in3/h, ft3/h, in3/min.
Personalised system: no units, as chosen by the operator (CAL) only a unit name is
required, then the input of the maximum authorised drift. A learning cycle is then
necessary; it is carried out through the "CAL learning" special cycle.
2.3.9. Maximum reject
This parameter allows the definition of the upper limit of the authorised flow range in the
test part, above this limit the part is considered as bad.
2.3.10. Minimum reject
This parameter allows the definition of the lower limit of the authorised flow range in the
test part, under this limit the part is considered as bad.
UM-22100H-U

2.3.11. Range (second capillary option)
The second capillary is an option on the D520 instrument, it allows having two flow
measurement ranges so that to have best adapt of the measurement extend of the
capillary in function of the part to be controlled.
When this option exists in the instrument, the "Range" parameter appears in the
parameters menu, so you have to choose the capillary (the range), then the best
measurement range adapted to the part to be controlled.
The choice of the range is function of the capillaries installed in the instrument: the
available ranges are: 5 l/h, 30 l/h, 150 l/h, 500 l/h, 1500 l/h, 4000 l/h and 10000 l/h.
2.3.12. Functions
The FUNCTION menu allows access to additional parameters which must first be
activated in the CONFIGURATION menu, then in EXTENDED MENUS.
If no additional parameters have been activated in the EXTENDED MENUS, the
FUNCTION menu is empty.
To activate these parameters, refer to chapter 4 2.

position.
9 Create a new program (refer to chapter 3 paragraph 2 "Creation of a test program").

9 In the parameters list of this new program, validate the FUNCTIONS parameter
(refer to chapter 3 paragraph 2.3 "Adjustment of the parameters").
Only the functions activated according to the method described in the
previous paragraph will appear in the FUNCTIONS parameter.
2.1.3. List of additional functions
2.1.3. 1) Name
This function allows the personalization of a program, for example to identify it by the
name of the test part.
)Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.
2.1.3. 2) Cycling
This function enables several tests to be carried out by the instrument one after the
other.
The instrument offers 8 chaining criteria. When this function is activated it is possible to
carry out a special Step by Step cycle as part of the initialization, which chains cycles
without conditions.
Associated parameters to adjust: INTER-CYCLE (wait time between two cycles).
Chaining conditions: ALL (under all conditions), part good, rise error, drop error,
warning, pressure error.
2.1.3. 3) Reference
The validation of the "Reference" function in a flow cycle program is associating to this
cycle the "Reference" cycle. During this "Reference" cycle, the measurement circuit is
shifting to a circuit equipped by a master jet or a master part with known characteristics.
This proceeding is correcting the possible atmospherics conditions variations.
The activation of the "Reference" phase can be done by following two ways:
Manually, the instrument shift to the reference circuit with the operator request,
or automatic. Selection by the front panel or the inputs/outputs of the concerned
program.
Automatically the instrument shift to the reference circuit before each test cycle.
UM-22100H-U

It must also configure the reference program with the master parameters.
Calibration pressure.
Master flow.
Atmospheric pressure of the calibration.
Calibration temperature.
Drift.
The drift is calculated between the first and the last master jet measurement (reference
cycle realization). If it's higher than the programmed level, a error message appears.
Only a manual acquit can be possible ("Drift acquit" special cycle).
) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.
2.1.3. 4) Automatic mode
This function launches the test cycle automatically, it therefore avoids the need for a
pressing of the cycle start by the operator. The cycling of this test is on is own part.
The automatic function allows launching a test cycle as the part to be tested to the
measurement circuit connection. The start cycle is made when the test pressure is
between the minimum and the maximum levels.
In the case of use of the personalized measurements units (CAL) it's
imperative to make a learning cycle before starting a test cycle. The learning error
can generate an instrument blocking mode.
2.1.3. 5) Units
This function allows the operator to choose the units system required: SI, international
metric unit system, USA, Anglo-Saxon international units system (inches, feet) and
CAL, the operator personalized unit system (this system requires the carrying out of a
learning cycle.
2.1.3. 6) Filtering
This function ensures the slowing or the acceleration the sampling speed, by carrying
out an average over the measurement time set, making the reading of the measurement
more user friendly.
2.1.3. 7) Standard conditions
The "Standard conditions" function allows the returning of the results measured by the
instrument to defined atmospheric conditions.
The measurements depend on the ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.
When the function is activated, the instrument recalculates the flow results according to
the atmospheric conditions inputted. Therefore the results of the measurements will not
take into account the ambient variations.
To confirm this function, an asterisk is displayed after "FLOW".
UM-22100H-U

2.1.3. 8) Pressure correction
The "pressure correction" function allows the conversion of the results by the instrument
to a defined pressure instruction.
When the function is activated, the instrument recalculates the flow results depending
on the instruction pressure. The measurement results will therefore no take into account
pressure variations.
2.1.3. 9) Pressure reset
The reset cycle in an ATEQ D520 instrument is carried out for each test cycle. This
function allows the positioning of the auto zero (reset) in the test cycle. The positioning
can be done BEFORE (just after the cycle start order and before the test cycle and
before the test cycle), AFTER (just after the test time) or WITHOUT (no pressure auto
zero).
2.1.3. 10) Offset
This function allows the subtraction of the value set in the parameters from the value
actually measured by the instrument. Example: if the measurement of the flow is of 14
litres a minute and the value of the offset set is of 5, then the instrument will display a
flow value of 9 litres per minute (9 = 14 5).
2.1.3. 11) ATR (Transient attenuation)
An ATR cycle enables time to be gained over a traditional cycle by enabling the
stabilization time to be reduced and absorbing the transient pressure. The transient
pressure is an unexpected drop in pressure caused by a stabilization time which is too
short. The ATR may require a learning cycle to enable the transient pressure to be
measured.
a) ATR1
The value of the transient is unknown. A special learning cycle must be carried out.
Associated parameters to be set: Initial (Initial value of the transient), Transit (actual and
non modifiable value of the transient), Tolerance (Drift tolerance on acquisition of the
transient, % of the reject level).
UM-22100H-U

b) ATR2
Corresponds to ATR 1 but the potential leakage of the part is taken into account when
the value of the transient is determined during the special cycle.
Associated parameters to be set: Initial (Initial value of the transient), Transit (actual and
non modifiable value of the transient), Tolerance (Drift tolerance on acquisition of the
transient, % of the reject level).
For ATR learning cycles, see paragraph 3.7. "ATR learning".
When a parameter is modified but no learning cycle has been carried out, an "ATR"
fault occurs. The "alarm" and "end of cycle" outputs are activated.
Learning may be carried out on a value greater than the reject level and the "Pass" and
"end of cycle" outputs are then activated. However, the "ATR" fault appears if the
difference between the transient and the initial value is greater than the reject level.
2.1.3. 12) Peak hold
FLOW
The peak hold mode allows the
measurement
a
part
MAXIMUM
VALUE
dynamically. The instrument
MEASURED
measures the flow which can
evolve at a given time during
the test. The instrument
memorizes the most important
flow, then displays it at the end
of the test.
0
TIME
Note: The peak hold mode excludes any use of the ATR mode.
2.1.3. 13) Recovery thresholds
This option offers the possibility of having two reject levels: the level of intolerance (the
part is bad and irrecoverable) and the level of recoverable reject (the part is bad but can
be reworked to be accepted). This option is particularly used in casting for parts which
may be impregnated.

Associated parameters to be adjusted: Max RECOV, Min RECOV.
If in multi measurement instrument configuration the parts are recoverable, the good
part (POK) and bad part (PNOK) outputs are activated simultaneously.
2.1.3. 14) P1 P2 Function
CYCLE/Pr:001
This function allows the taking away of the pressure PRESS : 18.9 mbar
measurement of piezo sensor 2 (if installed depending FLOW
: 97.7 ml/s
on options) from that of piezo sensor 1.
P1-P2 : 18.9 mbar
2.1.3. 15) P1 P2 Correction
This function can on the basis of the P1 P2 result (refer to the paragraph above) allow
a correction to be made on the flow result of P1 - P2. Function similar to the function
"pressure correction" paragraph 2.1.3.8.
2.1.3. 16) Fill mode
This function gives the choice of three types of fill operation.
a) Standard
With a mechanical regulator
Adjust the value of the fill pressure manually by using the regulator handle during a
"regulator adjust" special cycle.
With an electronic regulator
The fill pressure is adjusted automatically on the value chosen when the test program is
created.
b) Instruction
The operator adjusts an instruction value for the fill pressure and opens the regulator.
When the instruction pressure is reached the fill is stopped.
Associated parameters to be adjusted: I. FILL (Instruction fill).
c) Ballistic
This type of fill allows a fluctuation of the air pressure (filling of highly deformable parts)
and enables an exceeding of the maximum fill threshold without stopping the cycle and
delivering an error message. Never the less, to move into stabilization, the test pressure
must be between the thresholds at the end of the fill.
UM-22100H-U

2.1.3. 17) Automatic connector
The automatic connector is a pneumatic command allowing the control of an external
logic (pneumatic seal jig). This command is carried out as soon as the cycle is started
and stopped at the end of the cycle (refer to paragraph 2.1.3.22) "Cycle end").
If several programs are cycled the automatic connectors are activated with the set times
in the first program and are deactivated with the time set for the last program in the
cycle.
They remain active during all the cycles between the first and the last program in the
chain.
The various coupling times are respected by the intermediate programs.
Associated parameters to be adjusted: COUPLING A, COUPLING B.
2.1.3. 18) Valve codes
The instrument has 8 electrical programmable outputs (24V DC / 100 mA maximum) of
which 4 may be reserved through the presence of the stamping (valve code 1 internal
and external) and external dump (valve code 2 internal and external). These outputs
(one or more) may be assigned to program numbers. They are generally used to select
the valves in a sequence of cycles. The desired outputs can be activated for each
program (see Chapter 1 paragraph 2.2.1.1.).
Associated parameters to be set: External 1, External 2, External 3, External 4, External
5, External 6, Internal 1, Internal 2.
UM-22100H-U

2.1.3. 19) 24V Auxiliary outputs
On the instrument main board there are four programmable electrical outputs (24V DC /
100 mA maximum, outputs).
Unlike the valve code outputs, the auxiliary outputs reserved for a pneumatic function
are identified by the name of the function: stamping, automatic connector, etc. When
they are free and available for the operator to use they are called: auxiliary and the
position number.
Associated parameters to be adjusted: Auxiliary 1, Auxiliary 2, Auxiliary 3, Auxiliary 4.

2.1.3. 20) Mini valve

This function is dedicated to applications for small volume parts (below 10 cm3), and
has a base time of 0.01 s instead of 0.1 s.
Programming for the ATEQ D520 mini valve is identical to that for the standard ATEQ
D520.
Associated parameters to be set: A-Z Diff (Differential Auto-zero). This time can be
reduced as long as the values obtained are stable and repeatable.
2.1.3. 21) No negative
The "No negative" function allows to reset the display of the measurement when the
flow goes to the negative, in this case, the display of the flow comes to 0 (zero).
This function is useful in the case of we don't want to give the information of a negative
flow to the operator (display) or to a PLC connected to the instrument.
UM-22100H-U

2.1.3. 22) Stamping function
This option is used to activate a pneumatic output which marks the part (for example
using a pneumatic cylinder).
Parameters can be set for the conditions and duration of marking.
This option requires two electrical outputs:
9 an internal one for the internal cabling on the pneumatic output,
9 an external one for "customer" cabling
One of the pneumatic outputs on the automatic connectors is used.
The output is activated at the end of test time for the programmed hold time.

Example: if the result is -004 Pa, then the display will be 004 Pa.
2.1.3. 25) Gas (option)
This function allows calculating the flow measurement for a gas different from that
commonly used by the apparatus (air).
The available parameters in the instruments are for the following gas:
Nitrogen (N2),
Natural gas (CH4, Methane G20),
Propane gas (C3H8, G31),
Butane gas (C4H10, G30),

2.3. PROGRAM SEQUENCES

2.3.1. Sequences conditions
The sequences allow chaining several different cycles ones after ones, following some
the above conditions:
16 programs can run into one sequence.
32 sequences can be created.
Built-in 64 programs device.
A test program can be into several different sequences.
All the programs in a sequence must have the "Cycling" function validated.
Run the following program in the sequence by following the cycling conditions
validated in the test program.
If the operator wants, during the test time (infinite or not), if he hits the start key, the
sequence jumps to the following test program.
If the cycling condition is wrong, the sequence stops and the part is declared fail. In
all cases, the sequence starts from the beginning.
A program can be cycled with itself in one sequence, for that, insert it several times.
The program numbers are not important in the sequences; the program 17 can run
before the program 2.
It's possible to run only one program, for that, create a sequence with only one
program.
It's possible to run the same program several times in one sequence.
It's not possible to cycling a sequence after another one.
Some functions are not available when the Sequence mode is activated.

2.4. READY STATUS

The function "Ready status" allows to determinate the blow mode when the instrument
is in the rest (out of test cycle). It's exist three blow modes:
Blow on the reference circuit (Ref.),
Blow on the test circuit (Test),
No blow (Stop).
In the case of installation of electronic regulator in option, the right think to do is to
inform the blow pressure instruction.
2.5. REFERENCE CAL
The "Reference CAL" function, when is validate by "Yes" allows to make appears a
"CAL ref" calibration special cycle, thus allowing to calibrate the reference circuit. This is
a "super" calibration.
To calibrate the reference circuit, it must connect the "super master" on the test circuit
and then select the "CAL ref" special cycle", capture the "super master" characteristics
and launch the special cycle.
Thus when the special cycle is finished, the new characteristics are captured in the
standard master jet parameters of the reference circuit.
2.6. BAR GRAPH
This function is only valid if an RC5 remote control or L.E.D. 14 characters display is
fitted.
It allows the graphical representation of the flow value in relation to the reject thresholds
set.
On the lower scale, the minimum and maximum thresholds in relation to the full scale
are displayed.
On the upper scale the flow value is displayed.
The parameters which can be set (30 % 50 % and 70 %) place the maximum threshold
to 30 %, 50 % or 70 % of the bar graph. The example below represents a bar graph with
a maximum threshold at 50 %:

2.7. HOUR
This function includes a clock (hour, minutes) and an internal calendar (day, month and
year).
2.8. REGULATOR LEARNING
2.8.1. Standard regulator learning
This function is only valid in the event of the installation of a regulator in the instrument.
It enables the determining of the time between two electronic regulator learning cycles.
When it is validated by "yes", the frequency (time or minutes) or the number of cycles
between two learning cycles is to be determined.
When the frequency or number of cycle values are at zero, the learning request
becomes manual, at the operator request by way of special cycle, or by the
programmable input 7.
The learning cycle allows the calculation of the three characteristic points of the
regulator (points at 20 %, 50 % and 80 % of the maximum pressure which can be
supplied by the regulator, value depending on the input air supply pressure).
2.8.2. Without regulator learning
When the "Regulator learning" is not validated (No) there won't regulator characteristics
calculation (points at 20 %, 50 % and 80 %).
In this case two options arise in the "Fill mode" function: the fill mode in "Percent" or
"Control". These two types appear in the case of test in "Flow" mode.
2.8.2. 1) "Percent" type
In this mode, it must adjust the pressure instruction in percent of the full scale of the
regulator. Example: full scale of the regulator 4 bars, test pressure 1.5 bars then the
percentage will be 37.5 %.
2.8.2. 2) "Control" type
In this mode, it must adjust the hoped pressure instruction (real value in the configured
measurement unity).
The electronic regulator is correcting two times the pressure rise ramp during the fill.
This function allows making a correction of the pressure instruction according the flow.
When this correction is too important, an alarm "< Min. Pressure" is activated.
During the stabilization and test phases, no instruction correction is realized.

3.6. MANUAL CALIBRATION
3.6.1. CAL learning (calibration)
If the flow units do not suit the application, it is possible to switch to calibrated mode
(manual). For that it is necessary to carry out a learning cycle to make the calibration
value correspond to the value of a master leak connected to the instrument.
It is necessary to carry out the learning cycle, either by the special cycle's menu or
through input 7 of the J3 connector if programmed for this function, or through a
programmed function key on the RC5 console if it is installed.
The first CAL learning cycle must absolutely be carried out through the special cycle's
menu, so that a CAL instruction other than 0 can be selected.
On the outputs we obtain:
"Pass Part " and "Cycle end" if the instruction is inferior or equal to the reject
threshold,
"Fail Part " and "Cycle end" if the instruction is superior to the reject threshold.

Refer to the previous paragraph. The CAL check cycle controls if the calibration has not
drifted beyond the limits imposed as a percentage. In the event of an exceeding of the
limits a warning will be set off and a calibration cycle or a checking of the instrument will
be necessary.
Otherwise the "good part and "cycle end" or "bad part" and "cycle end" indicators will
be activated depending on the measurement made in relation to the reject thresholds.

that the instrument can calculate and enter the values. These learning cycles are
located as shortcuts in the special cycle menu, on input 7 of connector J3 programmed
for this function or on a programmed function key on the optional RC5 keypad, if this is
installed.
When transient values are not known, a learning cycle must be carried out for the
transient so as to enable the instrument to calculate and enter the values. These
learning cycles are found in brief in the special cycle menu.
If no transient learning has

2.2. NEEDLE VALVE AND LEAK FLOW CALIBRATOR

2.2.1. Needle valve
Needle valves are used to calibrate the leakage
limits. These valves have an adjustable leak and
depending on the model allow adjustments of
between a few cm3/h to several l/min.
These valves can be easily disturbed and
therefore require the frequent use of some
means of checking the setting (eg: ATEQ Leak/
Flow calibrator).
Note: it is strongly recommended that you do
NOT leave a needle valve permanently
connected on a leak detection machine with
automatic calibration every "n cycles".

UM-22100H-U
2.3. AUTOMATIC CONNECTORS WITH EXPANDABLE JOINTS

ATEQ automatic connectors are used so that accurate and reliable assemblies can be
built to check air tightness. They simplify the work of the operator as they are selflocking thanks to the use of a pneumatic valve supplied from the mains compressed air
supply. Several connectors may be controlled by the same remote, powered by an
ATEQ or another logic.
They adapt easily to a large number of fittings and apertures of varied dimensions. Their
use ensures that non-machined walls can be guaranteed airtight.
There are four basic versions of ATEQ automatic connectors:
9 SA for external connections,
9 SI for internal connections,
9 SAG and SIG for threaded and tapped connections.
They are either in anodised aluminium or stainless steel as standard. Different types of
joints are available depending on the elasticity required.
2.3.1. Operation
The connector is positioned manually or automatically using a jack or cylinder.
Compressed air is allowed through the control aperture via a three part valve. The
pressure pushes the cylinder which squashes the connector. The air tightness is
therefore perfect and there will be no leakage in the connector seals.
2.3.2. Standard dimensions
SAG and SIG have been designed for threaded and tapped caps. For the time being,
they are available in gas norm. Sizes, which are: 1/2", 3/4", 1", 11/4", 11/2", 2", BSP.
The SA and SI are designed for smooth nozzles, with dimensions from 3 to 80 mm for
the external diameters (SA), and from 10 to 75 mm for the internal diameters (SI).
2.4. FILTRATION KIT
For an increased reliability of the instruments, it is necessary to use clean and dry air.
The filtration kit is connected to the air input on the rear panel of the instrument.
It is composed of a dust removal cartridge (5m) and another cartridge (0,01 m) to
reduce the residual oil pollution to 0,01 ppm.

This option allows the placing of the control station in a different place than the control
instrument; it allows the remote control and reading of results. This is useful when the
measurement instruments have to be positioned in inaccessible locations, such as
inside a machine to reduce the lengths of piping between the instrument and the test
part
This front panel acts exactly as if the operator was in front of the instrument itself. For
the interface, refer to the global operation of the instrument.
This remote control is optional. It is connected to the LUMBERG type connector
reserved for remote controls. It is of "plug and play" type, the instrument automatically
detects it, and the REMOTE CONTROL" menus appear if the RC5 remote control is

2.7.2. Programmable keys
This remote control is fitted with four function keys (F1, F2, F3 and F4) which can be
programmed by the operator to fit his requirements (four buttons on the left). When a
special cycle is used on a function key, it no longer appears in the menus for the other
function keys.
The programmable functions are all the special cycles and the cycle start (the cycle
start function allows the simulation of a two handed remote control).
Note: the synchronisation between the two buttons is of 300 ms, the two handed remote
control is not a high security function; the ATEQ company would in no event be
responsible if an accident should occur on an operator following its improper use.

for CAL check.
Action: check the programmed
percentage of CAL drift, the known
standard leak and the test
pressure.
1) The electronic regulator has

been unable to initialise correctly.
2) The input pressure on the
regulator must be at least 10 % of
regulator full scale + 100kPa (+ 1
bar).
Action: check supply network
pressure or pressure at the
regulator input.
PROG error: the I/O's have

selected a program with no
parameters.
Action: enter program parameters.
Inappropriate size for the selected

unit of pressure.
Action: change unit or modify the
minimum and maximum pressure
limits if these and the test pressure
can be used with this unit.

OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS
1. PHENOMENON NOTED
If a test machine begins to detect too many bad parts (statistically, more than three
consecutively), it is advisable to carry out a check on the whole unit. The quality of the
manufacture and operation of the leak detector should be the last things considered.
1.1. CONDITION OF THE MACHINE'S SEALS
This is the no.1 defect as the seals are subject to high levels of dirt contamination
(alumina, shavings). Regular cleaning of the seals is an effective remedy.
1.2. DAMAGED INSTRUMENT SEALS
There is a possibility that the seals may be cut by shavings or worn by repetitive
squashing. This can be prevented by regular servicing and replacement of the seals.
1.3. BUMPER PAD
This is a defect which may occur after a certain amount of time as the bumper pads
may be worn, or if the pressure settings in the air cylinder are inadvertently disturbed.
Check the stability of the measurement and that the bumper pads are correctly installed.
1.4. PNEUMATIC LINK
The link and reference pipes will age and break with time. The pipes and seals must
conform to the required quality. ATEQ recommends the use of RILSAN PA11 pipes and
AVS type joints.
UM-22100H-U
Chapter 7 In the event of operational problems
1.5. ENVIRONMENT
A measurement may be affected by a variation in background temperature (sun,
draughts, storage of parts outdoors, handling of the test part by the operator, ...).
The dampness of parts may cause errors in the readings (insufficient drying after
washing, outdoor storage, condensation, presence of water in the fixture, ...).
1.6. CALIBRATION
ATEQ does not accept any liability in regard to calibrations and settings to its
instruments which are not carried out by its own personnel.
1.7. CONCERNS ABOUT RELIABILITY OF THE INSTRUMENTS CIRCUITS
If all the other checks do not resolve the problem, the instruments circuit may be
checked.
Proceed as follows:
9 Segregate the instrument from its environment (pneumatic assembly),
9 Place a calibrated master leak on the output,
9 Choose an unused program,
9 Set the parameters as follows :
the regulator
to the master leak test pressure,
the pressure monitoring thresholds
to +/- 20 % of the test pressure,
coupling times A and B
0 seconds,
fill time
1 second,
stabilisation time
1 second,
test time
infinite,
reject level
maximum,
unit
flow rating of the master leak,
function
all functions cancelled.
Run two consecutive cycles.

The post test time result should be close to or equal to the value of the calibrated
master leak.
