About this manual

2 Safety

2.1Intended use

The unit is a modular leak detector for installation in industrial leak detection systems. The test gases that can be measured with the unit are helium and hydrogen (forming gas).

The unit is suitable for pressure and vacuum testing. The unit is used for integral testing in a vacuum and for local testing with a sniffer line.

Install, operate and service the unit only in compliance with this manual.

Comply with the limits of application (see Chapter 4.3, page 13).

2.2User requirements

Safety conscious operation

Operate and install the unit only if it is in perfect working order and as intended, in a safety-conscious manner and fully aware of dangers, in compliance with this manual.

Safety 7

2.4General safety information

The unit was built according to the state of the art and the recognized safety regulations. Nevertheless, improper use can result in danger to life and limb of the user or other persons and damage to the unit and other property.

Electric power

The unit is operated with electric voltages up to 24 V. Inside the unit there are voltages that are considerably higher. Touching parts where electric voltage is present can result in death.

Disconnect the unit from the power supply prior to any installation and maintenance work.

Touching live parts with the sniffer probe can result in death.

Before starting the leak test, disconnect electrically operated test objects from the power supply.

The unit contains electric components that can be damaged from high electric voltage.

Before connecting the unit to the power supply, make sure that the supply voltage is 24V +/-10%.

Liquids and chemical substances

Liquids and chemical substances can damage the unit.

Comply with the limits of application (see Chapter 4.3, page 13).

Do not suck up any liquids.

Keep the hydrogen concentration low to prevent ignition.

Permanent magnets

Permanent magnets in the unit pose a hazard to health. ► Keep a sufficient distance from the unit.

Kinetic energy

A high force that is caused by sudden blocking of the turbo molecular pump can damage the unit.

Make sure the mount of the mass spectrometer module is able to absorb a braking torque of 620 Nm.
