PREAMBLE
1. DEFINITION OF THE ATEQ H6000
The ATEQ H6000 Portable or Fixed
is a compact gas tracer leak detector.
The Fixed version is to install on
machines or on work station.
The Portable version can be handled
by the user to detect leaks on any
area, It is completely autonomic.
GAS H2 N2 (95%)
SUPPLY
PART TO
TEST
1.1. SNIFFER
The sniffer contains the measurement components, it is important to handle it with care
other :
!
It is important to not expose the sensor (sniffer) to all types of solvents, oils,
glues or vapors that destroy irreparably.
Do not immerse the sniffer!
1.2. GAS
The used gas is hydrogen in nitrogen (H2N2). The concentration should not exceed 5%.
1.3. P
ERIODIC REVIEW
We remind that a calibrated leak is the only component allowing a valid and
control for the proper operation of leak detector.
The check frequency is to be determined by the user according to the operating
conditions of the leak detector.
Preamble
UM-30200D-U User manual H6000 Page 4 / 58
2. MEASUREMENTS CHARACTERISTICS
2.1. GAS DÉTECTION MEASUREMENT (H2)
RANGE ACCURACY
From 5 10-6 to 1 10-3 mbar.l/s
10 % of the measured value in
laboratory conditions.
3. MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE
3.1. CONTINUOUS DETECTION
The part is filled to the required pressure level with the gas (H2N2).
The instrument detects and displays continuously any leaked gas with the sniffer.
In Portable version, the operator decides to stop the test cycle, it would empty and
vacuum the test part to a remote location to avoid any gas pollution.
In Fixed version, the measurements cycles are programmed, the device stops the cycle
alone and displays the measurement result (pass or fail) and can communicate it.
!
Important note: in all cases, an efficient ventilation of the test area is
requested to renew the surrounding air between two test cycles to avoid the
pollution effect.
To optimize the measurement, the operator should fly over the test part with the sniffer
at a speed of 1 cm/s.

INSTRUMENT INSTALLATION
1. ATEQ H6000 APPEARANCE
The ATEQ H6000 case is made with two anodized aluminum parts assuring durability
and lightness. The case is surrounded by two rubbers to protects the device from falls
and avoid marking the shocked part.
The sniffer is connected to this case with à wire fitted with "Push / Pull" connectors.
!
Important note: do not hesitate to revise your instrument annually in ATEQ
factory to ensure the accuracy of the measurement
The device exists in two versions: the Portable which allows detecting a H2N2 gas leak
in any area or the Fixed version which allows using the device on work stations or
machines.
Note: the device version is established at the order and can't be modified later.

9 Red: The battery is charging
.
9 Green: battery full.
To remove the battery from the
device, proceed as follows:
1) Press the burst above to
unlock.
2) Turn the battery outwards.
To reinstall the battery, do the
same operation in the reversal

2.3.4. 1) Activating a program from the J1 connector inputs
To activate a program from the J3 connector inputs, you have to select pins 5 to 9 (one
or more). Binary weight n + 1.
¾ To select program number 1, send an impulse on another input selection and after
send a start.
¾ The inputs are validated only on a changing state 0 to 1 (rising edge). A permanent
state at value 1 doesn't update the input.
¾ If the running program is changed manually from the remote control, it stays at this
number if it not changed from the PLC by a rising edge.
