Accessories

This menu enables:● Test launch via “Getting started with the probe”.
● The test is stopped after 10 minutes of probe inactivity.
– The probe stops automatically if the test was not stopped using the START/STOP button on the control panel.
– The lifetime of the filters is preserved.

Start/Stop a test according to sniffer method
Note: ECO mode enabled.
The leak detector is designed to be used only with themanufacturer’s sniffer probe (accessory at the expense of theuser).

B

1. Install the sniffer probe before turning on the detector.
2. Set the switch/circuit breaker to I.
3. Wait for the detector to enter ‘Measure’ mode.
4. Test pieces according to graphic opposite.
For the use of another method, see the leak detector
operating instructions.
– Sweep slowly and from bottom to top, with the sniffer
probe the areas of the piece to be tested that may leak.
– The test result is displayed on the control panel.

5. To stop the test: put the sniffer probe down (do not hold it in your hand). The detector and the sniffer probe go into Standby
mode after 10 minutes: screen display Stand-by .
– The test can still be stopped by pressing the START/STOP button on the control panel.
6. Pick up the sniffer probe to restart a test: screen display Measuring .

External calibration
It is advisable to perform an external calibration:● at least once a day,● to optimize the accuracy of the measure,● if it is uncertain whether the leak detector is working properly,● for intense operation: start calibration at the beginning of eachwork session (e.g. work in shifts, every 8 hours).

It is advisable to use a calibrated leak within the range of
10-5 mbar · l/s (10-6 Pa · m3/s), containing the set tracer gas.

4

1. Place the sniffer probe in the calibrated leak (calibrated leak in its
storage area or manually handed).

2. Press the CAL button.
3. Follow the instructions given by the leak detector.
A calibration on concentration can be performed instead of an
external calibration (see the leak detector operating instructions).
