PREAMBLE

1. DEFINITION OF THE ATEQ D520

The ATEQ D520 is a flow meter which measures a drop in pressure with a differential sensor (transducer) which is placed at the extremities of a calibrated flow tube.

Test part

Air pressure

supply

Absolute pressure

sensor

Caloibrated flow tube

Regulator

Atmosphere

Differential

Flow

When fluid (gas) moves through a calibrated flow tube (laminar flow), a drop in pressure occurs, the value of which is proportional to flow.

∆P = 8µLQ/πR

µ: viscosity of the fluid

L: length of the calibrated flow tube

R: radius of the calibrated flow tube

Q: flow

∆P: drop in pressure in the calibrated flow tube

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

Test part

Air pressure

supply

Absolute pressure

sensor

Calibrated flow tube

Regulator

Atmosphere

Differential

pressure sensor

Flow

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.

Page 18

Preamble

UM-22100H-U User manual ATEQ D520 Page 8/122

3.2. INDIRECT MEASUREMENT (OR RECOVERY MODE)

Test part

Air supply

Absolute pressure

sensor

Calibrated flow tube

Regulator

Atmosphere

Differential

pressure sensor

Flow

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.

Page 19

Preamble

UM-22100H-U User manual ATEQ D520 Page 9/122

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.

Preamble

UM-22100H-U User manual ATEQ D520 Page 10/122

5. CALIBRATION

There exist 2 different types of calibration.

5.1. FACTORY CALIBRATION

The factory calibration is set in the instrument.

Display

Calibrated flow

tube

1000

1000 l/h

Master leak

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).

The measurement cycle is made of 4 phases:

1 2 3 4 5 1'

Start

(Reset)* Coupling Fill Stabilisation Test (Reset)*

Cycle

end

Start

Start of the cycle.

(Reset)*

Reset of the pressure sensor to correct the eventual drifts, this phase can be placed at the start or at the end of a cycle depending on the requirement of the operator. Parameter to be set.

The

coupling

time

Time during which the sealing jig of the parts is put in place before the part is filled. The instrument can be fitted with the automatic connector option (this option adds a valve). This valve which is piloted throughout the cycle time allows a control of the jig setup.

The fill time

This is the time during which the part is pressurised until the compensation flow is obtained.

The

stabilisation

time

This is the time during which the flow value stabilises.

The test time

The differential pressure sensor measures the pressure difference on the extremities of the calibrated flow tube. The signal is treated by the electronics which display the result and indicate whether a part is good or bad.

(Reset)*

Pressure sensor reset to correct eventual drifts. This phase can be placed at the start of the cycle or at the end of the cycle depending on the requirement of the operator. Parameter to be set.

End of

Cycle

The instrument stops the measurement and sends an end of cycle signal.

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 µm 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).

OPERATOR

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:

¾ Program the reference cycle.

¾ Program the flow test cycles with the same parameters as the reference one.

¾ 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

good, or on the "RESET" key if the test is considered to be bad.

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.

) Adjust this parameter according to the method described in § 2.3.

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.

) Adjust this parameter according to the method described in § 2.3.

2.3.5. Pressure unit

The different units are: bar, mbar, PSI, Pa, kPa, MPa.

) Adjust this parameter according to the method described in § 2.3.

Page 48

Chapter 3 – Start-up and adjustments

UM-22100H-U User manual ATEQ D520 Page 38/122

2.3.6. Max fill

This function allows the setting of a maximum fill pressure which sets off an alarm if it is exceeded.

) Adjust this parameter according to the method described in § 2.3.

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.

) Adjust this parameter according to the method described in § 2.3.

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.

) Adjust this parameter according to the method described in § 2.3.

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.

) Adjust this parameter according to the method described in § 2.3.

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.

) Adjust this parameter according to the method described in § 2.3.

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.

) Adjust this parameter according to the method described in § 2.3.

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.

2.1.2. Adjustment of the additional functions

9 Place the key in the ACCESS 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.

)Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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:

¾ 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.

¾ Automatically the instrument shift to the reference circuit before each test cycle.

Page 67

Chapter 4 – Functions of the instrument

UM-22100H-U User manual ATEQ D520 Page 57/122

It must also configure the reference program with the master parameters.

¾ Calibration pressure.

¾ Master flow.

¾ Atmospheric pressure of the calibration.

¾ Calibration temperature.

¾ 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.

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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.

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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.

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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".

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

Page 68

Chapter 4 – Functions of the instrument

UM-22100H-U User manual ATEQ D520 Page 58/122

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.

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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).

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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).

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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).

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

Page 69

Chapter 4 – Functions of the instrument

UM-22100H-U User manual ATEQ D520 Page 59/122

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.

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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

The peak hold mode allows the measurement a part dynamically. The instrument 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.

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.

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

2.1.3. 14) P1 – P2 Function

This function allows the taking away of the pressure measurement of piezo sensor 2 (if installed depending on options) from that of piezo sensor 1.

CYCLE/Pr:001 PRESS : 18.9 mbar FLOW : 97.7 ml/s P1-P2 : 18.9 mbar

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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.

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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.

Chapter 4 – Functions of the instrument

UM-22100H-U User manual ATEQ D520 Page 61/122

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.

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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.

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

UM-22100H-U User manual ATEQ D520 Page 62/122

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 cm

), 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.

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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.

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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.

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:

¾ Blow on the reference circuit (Ref.),

¾ Blow on the test circuit (Test),

¾ 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.

)Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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.

)Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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).

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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).

) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

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.

2.16. REMOTE CONTROL

When an 8 functions console is fitted to the instrument, the remote control menu allows the programming of special menu shortcuts and the use of a “Start” function on the four function buttons (F1, F2, F3 or F4) available on this remote control.

This function is only available when a console is connected to the instrument which will automatically detect its presence.

The "Start" function enables the configuration of a function key in such a way as to simulate a console with a two handed control (cycle start with a function key and a cycle start key pressed simultaneously).

In the main menu, place the

cursor in front of the

CONFIGURATION menu,

then confirm with the ENTER

key.

3. SPECIAL CYCLES MENU

3.1. SPECIAL CYCLES AVAILABLE

The following list shows all the special cycles which are possible: those available will vary depending on what is checked in the extended menus and according to the optional extras requested at the time of manufacture of the instrument.

Special cycle Function

9 Inactive: No special cycle is selected.

9 Regulator adjustment:

Cycle allowing the adjustment of regulator number 1 (generally on the rear panel).

9 Electronic regulator learning (if

installed):

Cycle allowing the adjustment of points to the different pressure values of the electronic regulator, 20 %, 50 % and 80 %.

9 Infinite fill:

Cycle allowing the infinite pressurization of the test part.

9 Reference calibration:

"Super" calibration special cycle, allowing the reference circuit calibration.

9 Piezo auto zero:

Cycle allowing the carrying out of a forced reset of the piezo sensor and the electronic regulator.

9 CAL learning:

This cycle enables the carrying out of a learning cycle in calibrated mode on a calibrated leak for which the values are known.

9 CAL check:

This cycle enables a checking of the calibration of the calibrated mode (refer to previous element) within a tolerance determined through percentage thresholds.

9 ATR Learning:

This cycle allows the entering of ATR parameters when they are not known, to be done after each instrument start up, or after a long period without test cycle.

9 Atmospheric conditions:

This cycle allows the display of the ambient atmospheric, pressure and temperature conditions (the temperature is taken inside the instrument).

To run a special cycle, select it in the "special cycles" menu, then press the

button. To stop it, press the button. In some cycles the stop is automatic.
