4 Description

4.1 Function

The HLD6000 comprises of a basic unit and a sniffer line.
The HLD6000 can, depending on the model, verify and quantify gases sucked in by the sniffer line with the help of an infrared gas analyzer.
The key assemblies of the HLD6000 are:
Sniffer probe with sensor assembly,Basic unit with pump system, electric and electronic assemblies.
A source emits infrared light in an optical cell through which the sucked-in gas flows. This light is filtered such that only light with a certain wavelength drops onto an infrared sen sor.
If there is a leak and gas gets into the chamber with the sucked-in air then part of the in­frared radiation is absorbed by the gas.
This means that the intensity of the light which meets the sensor is reduced.
The change in light intensity is electronically amplified, digitalized and then optically and acoustically displayed by the microprocessor after evaluation.
The underground concentration of the sample gas or other interfering gases are taken into consideration and balanced out due to a reference measurement of the ambient air.

4.3 Sniffer line

You need a sniffer line to operate the device. There are sniffer lines for verification of a sin­gle gas or sniffer lines for the verification of several gases see "2.1 Intended use", page 9 and see "10.1 Accessories and spare parts", page 67. The sniffer line which is delivered as standard is 4.8 m long.
The sniffer line is made of a black line, a sniffer probe, and a sniffer tip. The filter holder at the end of the sniffer tip is made of plastic. This reduces the risk of scratching the surfaces to be sniffed.
Sniffer tip There are rigid and flexible sniffer tips of different lengths, see "10.1 Accessories and spare
parts", page 67.
Sniffer probe During measurement it is possible to switch the setpoint using the button on the sniffer
probe, provided that this function is activated,
page 41.
The button on the sniffer probe is also used during calibration, see "6.4.6.2 Calibration
with an internal COOL-Check", page 44.

5.3.2 Using the water conservation sniffer tip
If there is a risk of sucking in liquids then a water conservation tip should be used, see
"10.1 Accessories and spare parts", page 67.
You can use the water conservation sniffer tip to check test objects with low surface mois­ture, e.g. condensation moisture, for leaks.
► Screw the water conservation sniffer tip to the end of the filter holder.
Fig. 6: Water conservation sniffer tip is assembled
Risk of short circuit
Sucked in liquid can destroy the device.
► Do not suck up liquids with the device.
Do not hold the sniffer line with the sensor pointing up since moisture will flow into the sensor as a result. If liquid has been spilled in the direction of the sensor, hold the sniffer line with the tip pointing down and run the device for about 10 minutes.
5.3.3 Use flexible sniffer tips
If you are examining test objects which have already been packed or test objects with areas that are difficult to access then an extended sniffer tip can be used,
sories and spare parts", page 67.
In addition to the rigid sniffer tip what comes delivered with the HLD6000 you can also use a 400 mm long flexible tip. By bending the flexible tip accordingly, hard-to-reach areas can also be accessed.

6.4.4 Setting up the gas for the SMART sniffer line
If you use a SMART sniffer line then several different gases can be sniffed. R22, R32, R134a, R404A, R407C, R410A and R1234yf gases are preset. In addition you can also choose 3 fur ther gases from a list of gases that the device can verify.
Preset gases ► To select one of the gases that the device can sniff, select " > Gas" and insert the
desired gas.
– If you have internally calibrated a preset gas and are switching over to another preset
gas then recalibration is not required.
– If you have externally calibrated a preset gas and are switching over to another pre-
set gas then the device prompts you to calibrate.
User-defined gases You can set up 3 additional gases of your choice, provided that these can be verified by the
device. You can obtain more information about this from INFICON by request.
There are various options available for setting up.
Option 1:
You can calibrate the device with the aid of an external calibration leak with the desired gas and then carry out your measurements.
► To freely select a gas, select " > Gas" and then set up "User 1", "User 2" or "User 3".
The calibration factor should be set to "0" in the settings window under "User Gas Factor".

42 6 Operation
► Then calibration with the external calibration leak can be carried out, see "6.4.6.3
Calibration with an external calibration leak", page 45.
Translation of the original operating instructions HLD6000, k ina43e1-a, 1408
Option 2:
Alternatively, you can calibrate the device for the desired gas without accessing an exter­nal calibration leak with the desired gas: The internal COOL-Check with coolant R134a is used as a basis and the discrepancy for the desired gas is automatically corrected by means of an adjustable calibration factor on the device.
For most gases the required calibration factors from INFICON can be used.
1 To freely select a gas, select " > Gas" and then set up "User 1", "User 2" or "User 3".
2 In the setting window under "User Gas Factor" enter the calibration factor which you
received from INFICON. When carrying out the unit calculation of user gases in mbar l/s and Pam3/s an average molecular weight of 96 is assumed. If this is not accurate enough then calibrate exter nally using a test leakage value in the corresponding unit.
Then calibration with the internal COOL-Check can be carried out, see "6.4.6.2 Calibration
with an internal COOL-Check", page 44.
6.4.5 Verifying R290 with the sniffer line for R600a/R290

calibrating with an external calibration leak with R290 to avoid overly high displays orcalibrating with an external calibration leak with R600a.
If sniffing with the R290 then the displayed measurement results will be 7% too high. It is therefore recommended to also set the setpoint 7% higher than for sniffing with the R600a.
6.4.6 Calibration
6.4.6.1 Time and type of calibration
The device should be calibrated daily and after every operator change. Calibration is also required after the following actions:
Switching the sniffer lineSwitching the sniffer probeSwitching between the gasesRequest for calibration by the system
If you insert a COOL-Check calibration leak then this is the easiest method to calibrate the device. The COOL-Check is integrated into the base plate of the device as described in the separate COOL-Check installation manual.
The leakage rate of the COOL-Check is temperature compensated and thus makes the ac­curacy required for calibration possible. The COOL-Check calibration leak contains R134a.
The most accurate calibration is achieved with the external calibration leak. The calibra­tion leaks apply to one gas each and are temperature resistant.
When using a sniffer line for R744 (CO2) or a sniffer line for R600a/R290 then calibration can only take place with one external calibration leak.

6 Operation 43
The gas that leaks from the calibration leak is carried away by strong air currents. Keep this in mind when, for example, a fan blower is standing in your surroundings. Strong air cur rents provide false results when calibrating.
If you have assembled an extension hose for the sniffer tip then before calibrating with the internal COOL-Check insert a centering ring to make the calibration opening on the device smaller
see "5.3.4 Using an extension hose for a sniffer tip", page 26. The centering ring is
contained in the shipment of a set with extension hoses for the sniffer tip.
Calibrate the device at least five minutes after switching it on. After the warm-up phase it is ensured that the device calibrates optimally.
6.4.6.2 Calibration with an internal COOL-Check
A COOL-Check has a life of about 2 years. It is announced on the basic unit that the life of the COOL-Check is running short 3 months before this time has elapsed.
For this reason never keep a supply of COOL-Checks. Store the COOL-Check in a cool, dry place.

– If you are prompted to calibrate then lead the sniffer tip into the calibration opening
at the front of the basic unit.
Calibration takes place automatically.
– If you are not prompted to calibrate, but wish to do so anyway then lead the sniffer
tip into the calibration opening at the front of the basic unit whilst holding down the button on the sniffer probe.
Calibration takes place automatically. If the button on the sniffer probe is not pressed then the calibration is only checked
see "6.4.6.4 Checking the calibration with an in-
ternal COOL-Check", page 45.
3 Keep the sniffer line still and straight during calibration.
The display shows individual calibration phases and informs you whether or not calibra­tion was successful.

6.4.7 Measuring
Risk of electric shock
Electrical voltages can be transmitted via the sniffer probe and cause damage to proper­ty or personal injury.
► Do not touch live parts with the sniffer probe.
► Disconnect electrically operated test objects from the mains before starting the leak
test and secure them against being restarted without authorization.
Risk of eye damage
LEDs generate a bundled light that can damage your eyes.
► Do not look into the LEDs from a short distance or for longer periods of time.
Risk of electric shock
Sucked up liquids can trigger short circuits and cause property damage or personal injury.
► Do not suck up liquids into the device.
