6.10.4 Setting machine and sniff factor
The internal calibration will only calibrate the measurement system of a mass spectrometer module that is uncoupled from the test system. If the unit is operated in parallel to an additional pump system after an internal calibration (following the split flow principle), the unit will indicate a leakage rate that is too low based on the split flow ratio.
With the help of a corrective machine factor (in vacuum mode) and a sniff factor (in sniffer mode), the unit indicates the actual leakage rate.
6.10.4.1 Setting machine and sniff factor manually

6.20.1 Error codes of the status LED
Any errors or warnings occurring in the MSB box will be indicated both as an error code by the control unit and as a blink code by the Status LED.
The blink code is preceded by a long white signal. This is followed by an error or warning number. An error number is indicated by means of red signals, while a warning number is displayed using orange signals (the orange signals have a strong green tinge, however):
Start of blink code: long white signal
Hundreds digit: 0 ... 9 red signals for errors / 0 ... 9 orange signals for warnings
Break: blue signal
Tens digit: 0 ... 9 red signals for errors / 0 ... 9 orange signals for warnings
Break: blue signal
Units digit: 0 ... 9 red signals for errors / 0 ... 9 orange signals for warnings
The blink code is repeated cyclically.
For example:
The pressure is too high.
-> Error code = Warning 520
-> Blink code of the Status LED: White (long), 5·orange, blue, 2·orange, blue
