4 Description

4.1 Function
The device is a leak detector for detecting and measuring leaks in test objects. The
device is suitable for leak testing using the vacuum method and the sniffer method.

• When using the vacuum method the test object is evacuated and subjected to He-
lium or forming gas from the outside. To do this it is necessary to establish a vac-
uum connection between the device and the test object.

• When using the sniffer method an over-pressure is established in the test object
using Helium or a forming gas. The test object is then inspected on the outside us-
ing a sniffer probe.

4.2 Operation modes

4.2.1 Operation mode “Vacuum”


The inlet flange is located on the upper side of the device.

You can mount a suitable external calibration leak on the inlet flange and perform an
external calibration, see also “External calibration [} 51]“. Alternatively, you can per-
form an internal calibration, see also “Internal calibration [} 50]“.

To be able to perform leak testing using the vacuum method the inlet flange must be
connected to the desired specimen.

If the pressure in the specimen is less than the surrounding pressure, then Helium
(which is sprayed over the specimen) can penetrate into the specimen if there is a
leak. Helium can be detected in the leak detector using a mass spectrometer.

4.2.2 Operation mode “Sniffing”


To be able to inspect test objects under overpressure with a sniffer line you can con-
nect the sniffer SL300.
SL300 The vacuum connection of the sniffer line SL300 is connected to the upper side of the
device on the inlet flange.

The electrical connection of the sniffer line SL300 is connected to the connector "AC-
CESSORIES" on the rear of the device, see "Connections for accessories and control
signals [} 23]".

Function Touchscreen Control panel


Background suppression ON ZERO button

Background suppression OFF Press the ZERO button again and


keep it pressed for approx. 2 sec-
onds.

The actual measured leak rate is considered to be a background signal. Depending on


the selected variant of operation mode the background signal is hidden until the dis-
play limit of the respective vacuum range is reached.

After pressing the ZERO button, background suppression is automatically adjusted to


the course of the falling leak rate signal. As a result, the detection of leaks is possible
even with slowly falling signal.

Display limits according to factory setting:


-7
1×10 mbar l/s in GROSS
-10
1×10 mbar l/s in FINE
-12
1×10 mbar l/s in ULTRA

To switch-off the function ZERO again, press the button ZERO for about 2 seconds.

The function ZERO should be activated only if the leak rate signal is stable and no
leak is measured. See also “Set and use the function ZERO [} 46]“.

4.3.3.2 Exhaust

DANGER
Health risk due to exhaust fumes and vapors
Depending on the connected container and the gas it is holding hazardous gases can
enter the surrounding air via the exhaust of the leak detector.

If you have a device with an oil-sealed backing pump, dangerous combustion products

Purging/gas ballast To purge use a Helium free gas at atmospheric pressure. The surrounding air may be
contaminated with traces of Helium due to spraying or filling up large containers. In
such cases connect a gas supply line (this means Nitrogen or fresh air or similar) over
the purge gas connection. The pressure of the gas line should not be more than 1050
mbar.

NOTICE
Material damage from overheated device
The device heats up during operation and can overheat without sufficient ventilation.

► Please note the technical specifications.

► Ensure sufficient ventilation, especially on the ventilation slots on the left and right
of the device: There should be free space in the front, to the rear and sides of the
unit of at least 10 cm.

► Keep heat sources away from the device.

NOTICE
Operating system can be attacked via USB or Ethernet
The Linux operating system used in the leak detector is not updated automatically and
can therefore contain security gaps. This vulnerability may be exploited through the
Ethernet and USB interfaces of the leak detector to provide unauthorized access to
the system.

► Ensure that no unauthorized person has access to these interfaces, for example
through a USB port / Ethernet port lock.

► In order not to jeopardize the security of your company network, never connect the
leak detector directly to the public Internet. This is true for connections over WLAN
as well as over Ethernet.

► However, if you want to access the web interface of the leak detector remotely, we
recommend an encrypted Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. However, we
cannot assume any guarantee for the security of VPN connections, which are pro-
vided by third parties.

Prevention of measurement errors due to leaks in the Helium source in the de-
vice surroundings
We recommend that you regularly check around the device to a distance of 10 m all
large Helium sources for gross leaks. Use a sniffer line to do this.

accurately, then make your selection with the “Audio alarm mode“ between
“Leak rate proportional“, “PINPOINT“, “SETPOINT“, “TRIGGER“ and “Off“.

ð "Leak rate proportional": The frequency of the audible signal is proportional to


the bar graph display or diagram height. The frequency range is 300 Hz to
3300 Hz.

ð "PINPOINT": The sound of the acoustic signal changes its frequency within a
specific range of leak rates. This range extends from a decade below the se-
lected setpoint value to a decade above. Below this leak rate range, the
sound is constantly low, above the sound is constantly high.

ð "SETPOINT": The pitch is proportional to the leak rate. The signal sounds if
the leak rate exceeds the set setpoint 1. See also “Setting setpoints [} 42]“.

ð "TRIGGER": If the set setpoint 1 is exceeded, then a two-pitch signal is is-


sued. See also “Setting setpoints [} 42]“.
5 If you want to suppress the alarm for some time after pressing the START but-
ton, then set “Audio alarm delay“. For example: Time period during the pump
down of a test chamber system.

ð After pressing the START button the audible signal is activated as soon as

2 If you want to switch-on the gross leak protection, activate the option "Gross
leak protection" and set under "Gross leak protection limit" a shut-down thresh-
old.

ð The device closes the inlet valve as soon as the measured leak rate exceeds
the shut-down threshold. This will prevent an excess amount of helium from
entering the mass spectrometer. Consequently, the leak detection unit is pre-
vented from becoming contaminated by Helium. The helium entering the
specimen can be pumped out using an external pump. If no external pump is
being used, we recommend that the test object is vented before continuing
with the measurement.
3 If you want to prevent particles from being sucked into the device make sure
that the test object is first pumped down with another parallel running pump. Ac-
tivate the option "Particle protection" additionally.

ð The leak detector only starts with the pump down once the inlet pressure has
fallen below 1 mbar.
4 To change the maximum evacuation time after a gross leak is detected, enter
the desired time in seconds under "Max. evacuation time gross leak".

ð This setting determines when a gross leak warning message is signaled. The
factory setting is 600 s. If the inlet pressure drops below 100 mbar within this
time span, a fault message is signaled. This menu point is especially useful
with series tests that always have the same test conditions.
After pressing the START button the specimen is evacuated. If the corre-
sponding pressure conditions (p1 < 100 mbar) is not reached within the time
that is to be set here or falls below, the pump down process is aborted and a
warning message appears in the display.
The time that is to be selected depends on the one hand on the desired reac-
tion time for the gross leak message and on the other hand on the volume of
the test object and from the affect of the pumping speed.
If the pump down process should not be aborted enter "0". This corresponds
to the entry "infinitely".
5 To change the maximum evacuation time before the measurement, enter the
desired time in seconds under "Max. evacuation time until measurement".
The ”evacuation time until measurement” is about the time until the first ap-
proved measuring range is reached.
The factory setting is 1800 s.

ð If the anticipated pressure conditions are not reached during the evacuation
time, a warning message is shown after the expiration of the evacuation time.
For the pressure conditions, see also the following setting options:

6.3.5 Setting the machine factor


If you are measuring in the operation mode "Vacuum" and using an external pump in
parallel, the measured leak rate would be too small in comparison to the leak rate
based on an internal calibration.

If you would like to compensate for this you can multiply the measured leak rate with
the suitable machine factor and then have the value shown. This factor is used only in
the vacuum mode and not in the sniffing mode.

When taking into consideration the Helium pumping speed of the device, the machine
factor can also be estimated. The measurement of the leak rate is more accurate us-
ing an external calibration leak with the test object - once with the external pump
switched and once without. The machine factor then results from the quotient of the
calculated calibration factors.

The machine factor can also be used to correct the leak rate display with respect to
the air equivalence. The machine factor for this correction is 0.37.

Using Quicktest QT100


The Quicktest QT100 is available as an accessory. For more information see “Acces-
sories and spare parts [} 76]“ or the operating instructions for the QUICKTEST
QT100.

If you are measuring in the operation mode "Sniffer" and have a Quicktest QT100 con-
nected to the inlet, the measured leak rates would be too small compared to leak rates
based on internal calibration. For the Quicktest QT100 a machine factor of approx.
400 has to be set.

To obtain accurate results based on internal calibration, it is necessary to compare


this factor with an external calibration leak. For this, calibrate both with an external and
the internal calibration leak and note the determined calibration factors in each case.

The new machine factor results from the following formula:

(Old machine factor) * (External calibration factor) / (Internal calibration factor)

Calibrate again after adjusting the machine factor!

6.3.8 Set and use the function ZERO


Why should I use To be able to clearly measure small leakages the function ZERO should be used.
ZERO? With each leak testing there is a "Background signal" (see "Definition of terms") that
disrupts the search or the measurement of leakages.

• To hide the background signal, activate the function ZERO.

• You can also use ZERO to hide a currently displayed leakage, which interferes
with searches for other or even smaller leaks.

A currently displayed leak is hidden through ZERO.


By using the function ZERO not only is the background signal hidden, but also the rep-
resentation of a current leak.

► Only activate the ZERO function, if a leak is not measured at the same time. The
ZERO function should be activated before the tracer gas is used.

Activate or deactivate ZERO is activated by factory settings.


ZERO ü Supervisor - rights

1 > Setup > Measurement > ZERO and filter


2 If necessary change "ZERO mode". The factory settings is "SMART".

ð Effect of SMART: The ZERO function remains blocked until the background
decreases sufficiently slowly so that a leak the size of setpoint 1 can be mea-
sured. As soon as the function ZERO is unblocked it is shown in the status
display by "Stable".

ð Effect of ZERO: When you press the ZERO button, the current leak rate value
is set to the lower display limit. Note: The ZERO button should not be pressed
when there is a rapidly falling background, otherwise, when compared to the
background change, small leak rate signals may be incorrectly hidden.

ð Effect of ZERO with ULTRA: The setting automatically activates the ZERO
function “ZERO”, as soon as the ULTRA measurement range is reached the
first time after pressing the START button and the leak rate has been fallen
below setpoint 3.

ð If you select”OFF”, the ZERO button does not work.

6.3.9 Change leak rate filter


The leak rate filter “AUTO“ is preset. AUTO ensures that the averaging time is opti-
mally adapted to the leak rate range.

Signals are averaged in optimized time intervals, based on the respective leak rate
range. In addition, disturbance peaks are eliminated, which are unrelated to the leak
rate signals and provides unusually short response times even with low leakage rate
signals. The algorithm used offers excellent sensitivity and response time.

With the leak rate filter "Fixed" there is also a filter with a fixed time constant available.

6.3.10 Change background suppression


The measurement system of the leak detector contains a residual amount of helium
and hydrogen even without connection to a test chamber. This creates an internal
measurement signal component already before pressing the START button.

After activating "Background suppression" the internal background and selectably also
the background in the inlet area is deducted from the leak rate. This happens after
pressing the START button automatically.

ü Supervisor - rights

1 > Setup > Measurement > ZERO and filter


2 Make your selection in the field “Background suppression“ between “Internal
only”, “Inlet area” and “Switched off“.

ð Internal only
Factory setting. With every measurement the internal measurement signal
component of the device is deducted by pressing the START button. The ac-
curacy of the measurement results are no longer impaired by the internal
background.

ð Inlet area
Additionally to the deduction of the internal background, pressing START with
every measurement also deducts the background of the inlet area.
IF you would like to switch this on, make sure that the background of the inlet
area is determined, see "Determine the background of the inlet area [} 48]".

6.3.12 Set and use external partial flow system


In partial flow operation, the test object is additionally evacuated with another pump.
We recommend using the Leybold partial flow system (Cat. No. 14020), see “Acces-
sories and spare parts [} 76]“.

As an alternative to the partial flow system mentioned above, you can connect an ex-
ternal auxiliary pump via a T-piece. In this case, however, the leak detector is not
ready to measure from 1000 mbar.

Connect partial flow system to the leak detector


ü You have a partial flow system (Cat. No. 14020).
1 Connect the angle valve of the partial flow valve block with the vacuum hose to
the inlet flange of the leak detector.
2 Connect the control cable to the "ACESSORIES" connector block, see “Connec-
tions for accessories and control signals [} 23]“.

Further detailed information can be found in the operating instructions for the partial
flow system.

Configure partial flow system


ü Operator or Supervisor rights

1 > Setup > Measurement > Partial flow


2 Under “Pumping speed“, enter the air-suction capacity of the external partial
3
flow pump in m /h.
3 If required, enter a period in seconds under “Quick pump time“.
The “Quick pump time“ determines how long valve V10 is open in the partial
flow valve block. A detailed description can be found in the operating manual for
the partial flow system.

At "0" seconds, valve V10 will not be opened at START. We recommend this
value if you want to reduce the entry of particles into the leak detector or need a
leak rate indicator with reduced sensitivity immediately after START.

A setting of "60000" or greater corresponds to "infinite". The valve V10 is


opened at START. At an inlet pressure p1 <15 mbar, the leak detector starts
measuring operation and indicates leak rates with the highest possible sensitiv-
ity. This setting is recommended if it is acceptable to wait a while to reach the
measuring mode and a leak rate reading is not necessary before.

During a “Quick pump time“ between 0 seconds and "infinite", the leak detector

PHOENIX-Quadro-Operating-instructions-300700189_002_C1-(1801) 49 / 94
6 | Operation LEYBOLD

attempts to reach an inlet pressure < 15 mbar with V10 open during this time.
After this time, the valve V10 is closed and the leak tester switches to measuring
mode (helium or hydrogen enters the device via the panel of the valve block).
4 If necessary activate the option "Bypass Valve Automatic close".
This setting defines the behavior of the bypass valve in the partial flow system.
When this option is activated, the bypass valve closes depending on the inlet
pressure. This allows more sensitive measurements at low inlet pressure.
If this option is not activated, the bypass valve will always remain open, even if
the inlet pressure is low enough. This always causes the maximum pumping
speed at the inlet.
5 Turn on the partial flow system by activating the “Enabled“ option or off by deac-
tivating this option.

6.3.13 Calibrating
In order to be able to measure leak rates correctly, the leak detector has to be ad-
justed at regular intervals by calibration. The mass spectrometer is tuned automati-
cally.

You can perform the calibration using the device internal calibration leak or use an ex-
ternal calibration leak. Normally calibration should take place on a daily basis or if
there is some doubt as to the measurement ability of the device.

NOTICE
3
When using Nitrogen or Helium-3 ( He) as tracer gas an internal calibration is not pos-
sible. In this case use an external calibration leak.

The operation modes Vacuum and Sniffer must be separately calibrated when using
an external calibration.

A calibration should only take place when the device is at operating temperature. Cali-
brate at least 20 minutes after switch-on.

By using the sniffer line the leak detector can easily be converted to a sniffer leak
searcher. The length of the sniffer line is 4 m.

QUICKTEST QT100
QT100 is an accessory for helium leak detectors. It consists of a gas pump with hous-
ing. The QT100 ensures a quick suction of the test gas and thus for a short response
time.

With the RC310C remote control you can operate the leak detector over a cable with a
length of up to 28 m.

With the wireless remote control RC310, you can operate the leak detector at a dis-
tance of up to 100 m.

Via remote control you control the functions START, STOP / VENT (STOP/Ventilate),
ZERO (background). The measured leak rate is displayed as a bar graph, as a nu-
meric value or as a diagram on the display of the remote controls (see the RC310
Technical Manual).

Measurement values you create over a recording time of up to 24 hours in the internal
memory of the remote controls. You transfer the data easily to a USB flash drive.

You can set an internal threshold for warning when exceeding the set points. The
warning occurs visually on the display and audibly via the built-in loudspeaker or the
connected headset respectively.

The remote controls are placed in robust housings that allow ergonomic operation.
Magnets on the lower side allow installation from horizontal to vertical metal surfaces.

Search for the wireless remote control from the leak detector
If you have misplaced the RC310WL wireless remote control, you can trigger from
your leak detector acoustic signals of this remote control.
1 > Setup > Accessories > RC310
2 Select the setting “ON” in the field “Paging request”.

ð The remote control emits acoustic signals.


3 To stop signals from being emitted after finding the remote control, select "OFF"
in the "Paging request" field.

Partial flow system


In partial flow operation, the test object is additionally evacuated with another pump.

When using the partial flow system (cat.-no. 14020), the following advantages result:

• faster response times

• Ready for measurement already from 1000 mbar inlet pressure

• fast pumping and flooding of large test objects

V output voltage.

This setting is for both analog outputs, if an appropri-


ate output function is selected. Depending on the se-
lected leak rate unit there is a different absolute limit.

The selected range can be additionally narrowed by


the limits, which is valid for all interfaces.

Leak rate log. 0 ... 10 V; logarithmic; The upper limit (= 10 V) and the scale (V / decades)

"Analog output scale".

For example:

to 5 V / decade. The lower limit is thus 1 x 10 mbar l/
s (= 0 V). The logarithmic output function of both the
slope in V / decade as well as the upper limit (10 V
limit) can be set. This results in the minimum dis-
playable value. The following slopes are available:
0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, 10 V/The higher the selected slope
value, the smaller the displayable area. The upper
limit is the same for both analog outputs. Depending
on the selected leak rate unit there is a different ab-
solute limit.
Set by interface The output voltage can be specified for tests with the LD log command 221.
Leak rate mantissa hyst. 0.7 ... 10 V; linear; Useful only if the other analog output is assigned

in the selected unit "Leak rate exponent". Through an overlap of the man-
tissa in the range 0.7 to 1.0, a constant jumping be-
tween two decades is prevented. 0.7 V corresponds
-x
to a leak rate of 0.7 x 10 . 9.9 V corresponds to a
-x
leak rate of 9.9 x 10 .

10.4 Operate leak detector via web browser

NOTICE
Operating system can be attacked via USB or Ethernet
The Linux operating system used in the leak detector is not updated automatically and
can therefore contain security gaps. This vulnerability may be exploited through the
Ethernet and USB interfaces of the leak detector to provide unauthorized access to
the system.

► Ensure that no unauthorized person has access to these interfaces, for example
through a USB port / Ethernet port lock.

► In order not to jeopardize the security of your company network, never connect the
leak detector directly to the public Internet. This is true for connections over WLAN
as well as over Ethernet.

► However, if you want to access the web interface of the leak detector remotely, we
recommend an encrypted Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. However, we
cannot assume any guarantee for the security of VPN connections, which are pro-
vided by third parties.

In order to be able to access the user interface of the device via WiFi there needs to
be a WiFi capable USB adapter with WiFi Access Point technology inserted in the rear
of device.

Minimum technical requirements:

• Interface: USB 2.0

• USB port: Type A

• Chipset: RTL819x or similar

• Support to: Access Point Client Mode

"EDIMAX EW-7612UAn V2” is a WiFi capable USB adapter, which meets the specifi-
cation and has been tested with the leak detector.

The WiFi connection can be susceptible to interference. The stability depends on the
range, shielding walls, other WiFi networks, interfering transmitters in the vicinity and
other factors.
