4 Description
4.1 Function and setup of the device
The Ecotec E3000 is comprised of main unit and sniffer line. The Ecotec E3000 can
verify and quantify gases sucked in by the sniffer line with the help of a selective mass
spectrometer.
Working in the Ecotec E3000:• a Quadrupol mass spectrometer as a detection system• a high-vacuum pump system• an inlet system for the gas flow
• electrical and electronic sub-assemblies for electrical power supply and signal
processing
The mass spectrometer works under high vacuum, i.e. the pressure in the mass
spectrometer must always be below 10-4 mbar. This vacuum is created by the turbo
molecular pump with the help of a diaphragm pump.

INFICON

Operation | 6

If the gas concentration drips after setting the ZERO point, a negative measured value
should be displayed. In order to avoid that, the ZERO point is revised downward if themeasured value is negative for the duration of the “ZERO time,” see below.
The ZERO point is not automatically revised up(wards). It is therefore important toregularly reset the ZERO point.
The ZERO point can be set with the left button on the handle and with the “ZERO”
button in the measurement view.
You can activate or deactivate the buttons here in this menu. Deactivation preventsthe function from being triggered inadvertently and an incorrect absolute measured
value from thus being displayed.
The button on the sniffer line handle can also be activated or deactivated by pressing
the button longer.
ZERO time

ZERO time is the time during which the leak rate must be negative so that the ZERO
point can be revised downward automatically. The best setting depends on yourmeasurement conditions (sampling speed, gas background, test specimen).
Setting range: 1 to 9.9 s

Flow limits

To detect a leak on the 160-sccm capillary, an upper limit value is set. If the value is
exceeded, the system issues the warning “Capillary broken.” With longer exceedance,
device components are also switched off to protect them.
To detect a clogging of the 160-sccm capillary, a lower limit value is set. If the value isfallen short of, the system issues the “Changed flow!” warning. With a strong lower
deviation, the “Flow through capillary too low” error message is issued.
The adjustment range is 160 to 999 sccm or 0 to 160 sccm.
The closer the lower limit value is set to the actual flow rate, the more sensitive the
Ecotec E3000 reacts to a beginning clogging of the filter and the sniffer line.

Fig. 16: Setting flow limits

The flow through the sniffer line depends on the atmospheric pressure of theenvironment. If you operate the device at great height, the flow rate through the sniffer
line can drop considerably, approx. 20% per 1000m height. Reset the flow limits
accordingly in this case.
Sensitivity

The sensitivity monitoring in the device ensures that the sensitivity of the Ecotec
E3000 is always sufficient. The entire gas flow from sniffer tip to sensor is monitored
and the software simultaneously checks whether the Ecotec E3000 can determine the

INFICONcorrect signal strength with it. The monitoring ensures that the Ecotec E3000 does not
become insensitive and that leaks are not detected without the user noticing. If thesensitivity is reduced, the “Sensitivity too low” error message is issued. Recalibration
can restore sensitivity in this case, see "Calibrate [} 43]." The error message isrepeated every 15 seconds until calibration is started.

Fig. 17: monitoring

We urgently recommend leaving the monitoring switched on at all times. It should bedeactivated only for measurements in an argon-free environment because monitoring
requires the argon signal.
Automatic cathode

If the function is activated, the device switches over to the other cathode whenever the
E3000 is switched on. This results in equal usage of both cathodes.

Calibration

In the “Calibration” window, you can activate or deactivate external calibration. This
prevents a previously executed external calibration from being overwritten
accidentally. For more information on calibration, see "Calibrate [} 43]."

Internal calibration

You can deactivate internal calibration. If it is deactivated, only the more precise
external calibration can be carried out for the gas, see "Calibrate [} 43]."
Internal calibration is precluded from the start if the mass position of a gas is outside

Mass

With the selection of a gas from the gas library, a standard mass position is
automatically selected for gas to be measured. If the device could respond to othersubstances in the working environment for the leak detection, we recommend
selecting another mass position for the verification of the required gas. You can find alist of all possible gases with their normal and alternative mass positions in the

6.4.2 Calibrate
The Ecotec E3000 can be calibrated most conveniently by adding an ECO-Checkcalibrated leak. The ECO-Check can be integrated in the front panel of the device or
set up at the testing position. It compensates temperature fluctuation and thus enables
the accuracy required for calibration.
The ECO-Check calibrated leak includes R134a. It can be used for the calibration ofgases with a mass position from 40 to 105 amu because the Ecotec E3000 converts
the calibration result for the measurement of these gases.
You get the most accurate calibration with the external calibrated leaks. The calibrated
leaks are valid for one gas each and temperature-insensitive.
When to calibrate?

The device should be calibrated daily and after every operator change. Calibration is
also required after the following actions:• Sniffer line replacement• Sniffer line probe replacement• Switch between gases (if you calibrate with an external calibrated leak)• Filter replacement• Prompt for calibration by the system

The Ecotec E3000 notices if you insert the sniffer tip in the opening of the calibrated
leak and starts calibration automatically. Messages subsequently guide you throughthe calibration process.
A warning is displayed if the device has not be switched on for 20 minutes yet. Simply
confirm the warning and then continue with calibration if you know that the device hasreached operating temperature because it was switched off only briefly before
calibration. Otherwise remove the sniffer tip again and start calibration later.
After measuring and a short calculation period, the results of calibration are shown inthe display. The old and the new calibration factor as well as the old and the new
relative peak position are displayed.
In order to prevent an earlier external and thus more accurate calibration from being
accidentally overwritten, you have to press the “Confirm new values” button tocomplete the calibration.

5. Confirm the new values with the button on the bottom right.
Check calibration

If you insert the sniffer tip in the opening of the ECO-Check during measurement(Test function)

operation, an examination of the calibration is started automatically (test function). The
device checks the measured value of the ECO-Check while the sniffer tip is inside theopening of the calibrated leak. The operator is subsequently prompted to remove thesniffer tip from the opening of the calibrated leak.
For gases released for internal calibration, either “Test o.k.” or “Recalibration
required!” will appear. For gases not activated for internal calibration, “Gasdeactivated” will be displayed. For gases that cannot be calibrated with the ECOCheck due to very high or low mass positions, “Gas-spec. test not possible” isdisplayed.
Press the “OK” button or the right button on the handle to return to measurement
operation.

6.4.2.2 External calibration with external calibrated leakFor external calibration of the Ecotec E3000, we recommend calibrated leaks with leakrates > 2 g/a. If there are significantly elevated background concentrations in the test
environment, a calibrated leak with a high leak rate is required.
External calibration is a semi-automatic process. Text messages in the display guide
you through the calibration process. Calibration can be stopped at any time with the“Cancel” button.

NOTICE
Incorrect calibration because of operating temperature that is too low
Calibrating the device in the cold state can deliver incorrect measurement results.
► The device must have been switched on for at least 60 minutes before calibration
for hydrogen measurement.
► The device must have been switched on for at least 20 minutes before calibration
for the measurement of all gases.
A warning is displayed if the device has not be switched on for 20 minutes yet. Simply
confirm the warning and then continue with calibration if you know that the device hasreached operating temperature because it was switched off only briefly before
calibration. Otherwise start calibration again later.

The gas measurement to be calibrated is generally activated. If you want to calibrate adeactivated measurement, activate the gas in the “Measuring parameters” menu.
After measuring and a short calculation period, the results of calibration are shown inthe display. The old and the new calibration factor as well as the old and the new
relative peak position are displayed.
1. Switch to measurement display.
2. Press the “Cal” button. The list of gases currently set for measurement isdisplayed (up to four gases).
3. Select the gas that the measurement is to be calibrated for.
4. Check whether the gas and the displayed leak rate match the data of thecalibrated leak. If the leak rate does not match, select “Leak rate change” andcorrect the value.
5. Select “Start.”
6. Hold the sniffer tip into the center of calibrated leak opening and follow the
instructions in the display. If you have to wait until the air signal has stabilized thenthis can take up to 30 seconds with a helium or hydrogen calibration.
7. Confirm the new values with the button on the bottom right.

6.4.3 Gas equivalent to helium and hydrogen, settings fordiluted gas
If you are looking for helium or hydrogen, you can have also have the determined leakrate for the gas equivalent displayed, e.g.as R134a.
If you have an equivalent set, all displays will show the original gas followed by theequivalent in brackets. For example: He (R134a)
Proceed as follows to set a gas equivalent:
1. Select helium or hydrogen from the gas library.
2. Select the “Status” line in the “Settings gas …” window and press “Change.”
3. Select “Equivalent name” in the window that opens. The gas library will be
displayed again.
4. Select the equivalent name and confirm with “OK.”Fig. 26: Example for a measurement view with helium as refrigerant equivalent

You can also take a different pressure and/or different concentration between originalgas and gas equivalent into consideration.
An internal conversion of the measurement result thus allows the Ecotec E3000 to
approximate the result of a leak pre-check close to the result of a main leakexamination.
Enter the settings for concentration and pressure in the “Settings gas…> Status >Change > Equivalent settings” window.

Fig. 27: Setting the parameters for gas equivalent and diluted gas

In this window, you can enter the helium or hydrogen filling pressure. You can enter
the pressure for the equivalent gas next to that.
The bottom right shows the correction factor of helium/Hydrogen based on the gas
equivalent. If a set of parameters that exceeds the limits of the Ecotec E3000 isentered, the correction factor is displayed with inverted colors. In this case, adjust theparameter until the correction factor display returns to normal.
On the bottom left, you can enter the value for the gas concentration. If you arelooking for diluted helium or hydrogen, you can take the dilution into consideration inthis setting. The leak rate for the undiluted gas is then displayed as the measured
value.
Select “OK” when all parameters are set correctly.
Please note: If you are working with diluted gas, you have to select the original gas asgas equivalent, i.e. gas and gas equivalent are identical.
Switching off the gas

To switch off the gas equivalent setting, select the last entry from the gas libraryequivalent function(Settings gas …> Status > Change > Equivalent name).

6.4.4 Suppress interfering gases
IGS causes the findings of the interfering gases cyclopentane, isopentane as well as
any mixture thereof to be suppressed during the search for refrigerant R600a. Up toan interfering gas concentration of 50g/a, the error is only 1% at most.
If IGS is activated, only one additional gas can be entered in the list of sample gases.
If more than two gases are activated for R600a when IGS is activated, the additional
gases (starting with the highest gas number from 1 to 4) will automatically be
deactivated so that there are only two gases left.
If R600a is measured with IGS and R134a is set as second gas, select mass position
83 for R134a because malfunctions between propellant and R134a will occur
otherwise.
IGS requires little maintenance. If repeated false alarms occur during the sniffing with
IGS, calibration must be set to interfering gases, see below.
Activate IGS

1. Select R600a as the gas to be searched for: “Measuring parameters > Gas … >Gas > Change > R600a > OK.”
2. Switch to mass setting in the “Measuring parameters gas …” window.
3. Browse the available mass positions until “IGS” is displayed in the line for the
preferred mass.
4. Confirm with “OK.”Fig. 29: Selection of the IGS mode for R600a

IGS alignment

The previous, actual calibration is carried out with and external test leak as it is withother gases. For the additional IGS calibration, you need a cyclopentane test leak andan isopentane test leak, available as “Calibration set for IGS mode.”
The Ecotec E3000 recognizes errors you make in the gas sequence during thealignment and notifies you with a flashing gas display.
1. Activate IGS, see above.
2. Select “Cal” in the measurement window.
3. Select the gas R600a in the “Select gas” window. The entry should be expandedwith IGS.
4. Select “IGS alignment” in the “Start external calibration” window and follow the

Standard factor

The standard factor is used to convert the current supplied by the sensor into a leakrate signal. If you are setting a user-defined gas, the Ecotec E3000 should
subsequently be calibrated with and external test leak, if possible. If calibration is
successful, you will not modify the standard factor. If calibration fails and the error
message “Calibration factor too high” is displayed, the standard factor must be
reduced by decade, e.g. from 1.0E+08 to 1.0E+07. If the “Calibration factor too small”
error message appears, increase the standard factor by a decade, e.g. from 1.0E+08
to 1.0E+09. Repeat this process until the Ecotec E3000 has been calibrated
successfully.

The smallest detectable leak rate of the Ecotec E3000 for helium is 1 x 10-6 mbar l/s(higher than for refrigerant).
You can use a PRO-Check calibrated leak for the internal calibration of helium.
Because the PRO-Check calibrated leak does not fit into the opening on the front
panel of the Ecotec E3000, you have to connect it with a SUB –D cable, see
installation manual of the ECO-Check.
If you are working with diluted helium, you can have the determined leak rate also

Table 8: Minimum measurement times for hydrogen

If you work with hydrogen (forming gas), you can have the determined leak rate also
displayed as gas-equivalent leak rate, see "Gas equivalent to helium and hydrogen,settings for diluted gas [} 46]."
If you want to verify hydrogen, the warm-up phase of the device must be extended to
1 hour before the first calibration.
The smallest detectable leak rate of the Ecotec E3000 for hydrogen is 1 x 10-6 mbar l/s(higher than for refrigerant).
You can use a PRO-Check calibrated leak for the internal calibration of hydrogen /forming gas. Because the PRO-Check calibrated leak does not fit into the opening on
the front panel of the Ecotec E3000, you have to connect it with a SUB –D cable, see
installation manual of the ECO-Check.
MethaneMethane cannot be calibrated with the built-in ECO-Check because methane can bedetected only on mass 15 (which is outside the range for the permissible internal
calibration from 40 to 105).
Therefore use the external calibrated leak “TL4-6 for methane” for calibration.

The turbo molecular pump requires 5 minutes to power down.
► Allow the turbo molecular pump to power down before any maintenance work is
performed or before moving the device.
You can switch off the Ecotec E3000 at any time with the power switch (position “0”). It
takes a few minutes for the turbo molecular pump to come to a standstill. The Ecotec
E3000 must not be moved during that time.
The parameter set in the Ecotec E3000 are saved. After the start-up, the Ecotec
E3000 returns to the same state that it was in before it was switched off.

10.2 Gas library
The software of the Ecotec E3000 includes a list with approx. 100 gases that can berelevant for the refrigeration industry. These gases are saved to ROM (read only
memory) and can be selected from the list in the appropriate menus for gases andtrigger values. Mass number (measuring position), molecular mass, normalization
factor and viscosity are stored for each one. The data in this ROM cannot be changed.
The program additionally provides six empty memory spaces (user library RAM
memory). The user can save personally defined gases to them, see "Setting Custom
Gas [} 49]."
The pre-set mass number (measuring position) has a gray background for each gas.
