1.2Content of these maintenance instructions
The present maintenance instructions describe the periodic maintenance to be performed on
the HLT 2xx.
For information on the operation of the equipment, a description of the equipment and the
technical specifications please refer to the separate user’s guide.
1.3Safety information
Basic safety information
•When handling process gases please follow the applicable regulations and protective
measures.
•Although helium is an inert gas it can cause asphyxiation in high concentrations.
4BG 805 457 BE / C (0204) HLT 2xx
•The test object and the gas fittings must be able to withstand the applied pressure
gradient.
•Products returned to PFEIFFER VACUUM for service or repair should, if possible, be
free of harmful substances (e.g. radioactive, toxic, caustic or microbiological). Otherwise,
the type of contamination must be declared.
(A copy of the "Declaration of Contamination" can be found on page 39. Additional forms
can be obtained from your nearest PFEIFFER VACUUM service center.)
•The line filter, the power supply unit, the wiring board and the roughing pump have parts
that are on voltages higher than 50 V. For this reason the power plug must always be
disconnected before the HLT 2xx is opened for service work.

DANGER:
Information on preventing bodily injury or extensive property damage.
Vacuum area:
Always wear clean, lint-free gloves and use clean tools when working in this area.
1.4General information
•Electrical components (circuit boards, EPROMs, electrical connections) are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge and appropriate precautions must be taken. In particular the
circuit boards and EPROMs must be stored in antistatic packing material.
•Failure to take appropriate precautions can void the warranty.
•PFEIFFER VACUUM declines any liability and the warranty becomes null and void if the
product is modified or operated with accessories that are not listed in the corresponding
product documentation.
The HLT 2xx is a microprocessor controlled leak detector that is equipped with the most
advanced electronic and electromechanical components. All processes within the instrument
are controlled automatically.
The pump system consists of a roughing pump, a turbo pump, a helium detector and a valve
block that established most connections between the helium detector and the test port. The
layout of the pump system is schematically shown in Fig. 5.

The test object can be connected to the test port with a KF 25 flange. Valves V1, V2, V3 and
V4 establish the vacuum connection between the test object and the helium detector in such
a way that no operating state is created that is detrimental to the helium detector.
For calibrating the HLT 2xx a calibrated leak can be connected via valve V5.
Valve V6 is normally used for venting so that the test object can be removed from the test
port after the test has been completed. However, it can also be used as a sniffer probe
connection.

Solenoid valves V1 to V6.
Depending on their function the valves have different nominal diameters and opening forces.
V2 and V6 are concepted for 0.0 to 1.1 bar (open against atmosphere).
V1, V3, V4, V5 are conceted for 0.0 to 0.5 bar.
All valves open electromagnetically and close by spring force. They are controlled with
24 V=.
The tightness of the valves toward the atmospheric side is < 10-9 mbar l/s. The tightness at
the valve piston is normally < 10-6 mbar l/s, but can be impaired by contamination without
affecting normal operation of the HLT 2xx.

2.4Analytical system
2.4.1Detection system
The detection system essential comprises the ion source, the magnetic separation system,
and the ion collector.
The ion source ionizes neutral gas particles from which it generates an ion beam. The
positively charged ions are accelerated out of the ion source and subsequently enter the
magnetic field. There they are deflected into a circular path, the radius of which depends on
the mass/charge ratio of the ions. Only the helium ions fulfill the separation conditions and
reach the ion collector where they can be measured by the electrometer amplifier.

2.4.3Electrometer pre-amplifier EVV
The electrometer pre-amplifier converts the current flowing from the ion collector of the mass
spectrometer into a voltage signal. It has four amplification stages. The MC 68 control board
selects the required amplification stage and processes the analog output signal. The
detection limit in the most sensitive range is approximately 1x10
