6.13 "Leakage rate measurement" program (option)
Starting the "Leakage mesurement" program When you start the "Leakage measurement" program, the pressure
sensor is first zero-balanced; this takes a few seconds. The colour of the pressure value then changes from grey to black.
The black colour indicates that the device is ready for measurements. Zero balancing can also be performed manually via the main menu.
It is possible to enter the system (tube) volume manually. If the system volume is unknown the device can calculate the volume automatically.
Manually: If the system volume is known select “Enter vol. manually” and use
the editor to set the volume.
Operation
S4600-ST® 33
Automatically: To identify the system volume connect the candidate system with the
device: First connect the shut-off valve (1) with the measurement device. Then connect the plug (2) with the candidate system. Open the shut-off valve (1) and with the pumpball (1) give a pressure (working pressure) to the candidate system. In this example 4.80 hPa.
Operation
34 S4600-ST®
Then close the shut-off valve (1) and connect the syringe (3) to the shut-off valve (1). Best case is to connect the already air filled syringe.
With “START meas.” start the measurement. Then open the shut-off valve (1) and add (or minus) the syringe (3) volume. The volume of the SYSTRONIK syringe (3) is 108 ml. Close the shut-off valve (1)
and confirm the volume change with “CONFIRM change”. The
calculation will start and stop at the entered measuring time automatically.
Operation
S4600-ST® 35
The device shows the calculated volume in the last line. Confirm the volume and exit the calculation menu with the “Back” key.
Set the settling time with the arrow keys, and confirm with “Next”.
Operation
36 S4600-ST®
Set the measuring time with the arrow keys, and confirm with “Next”. Then set the working pressure according to the current pressure. A rough eastimation of the current value is sufficient. In the next step the measured media must be selceted. Available media are air and methane.
It is possible either to set the barometric pressure manually or measure by the device. Disselect the item “Manual amb. press.” To activate the automatic measurement by the device.
Operation
S4600-ST® 37
“START meas.” will start the leakage rate measurement with the settling phase and after the set time the pressure measurement will start. A counter in the main display shows the duration of the running measurement in seconds and minutes.
The start and the end of the pressure measurent is signalled acoustically.
The measured values are held in the main display; you can print save, or show the measurement log as QR code.

7.1 How to save
The use of MicroSD memory cards as system-independent storage media ensures maximum flexibility in terms of storing and managing the measured data. MicroSD cards with a memory of up to 16 GB can be used. The card can be read without any additional software by all SD-card-enabled data processing systems (PCs, laptops, notebooks, etc.) using a web browser. More than 1,000,000 measured values can be saved with the recommended memory capacity of 1 GB.
CAUTION
Damage to the memory card slot due to improper plugging in
Always insert the MicroSD straight and with the contacts
pointing up as shown above.
Displaying the "Memory" menu.
Memory mode and memory structure
S4600-ST® 39
Before you use a MicroSD card for the first time, you should
create the folder structure.
The function "Create Memory" creates 10 folders with 10 files each on the MicroSD card; this represents the memory structure of S4600­ST®. The function takes a few seconds to finish.
Note: This function deletes a memory structure that may already be available on the card. However, private user data (such as pictures, documents, etc.) are not deleted by this function.
The memory structure of S4600-ST® consists of 100 memory
blocks; one measurement log can be written to each of these blocks.
At the end of a measurement, the measurement log can be saved to a free memory block. A total of 10 x 10 memory blocks are available. The file name is automatically generated by the device according to the following structure:
Type of measurement (e.g. pressure measurement) date (day.month.year) and time
Note:
A file which has been created and saved on the card is protected against manipulation and, if manipulated, can neither be displayed by the device nor printed!

7.2 Database Memory (option)
Create a customer database Measurements can be saved direct in the customer folder. Every
folder has 8 entry lines with 20 characters. The first entry is the key word for the search function in the device. The further lines are for detailed customer information like: Street, City, Email, Phone No… The customer information will be print out with every measurement print and shown in the protocol.
It is possible to create or modify the customer database either on the S4600-ST® or on a PC.
For first use of the MicroSD card the database should be
generated
For new database open menu „Memory“ and choose “Create
Database”. Confirm the warning “All entries will be deleted” with yes.
With this procedure a file named DATABASE.CSV will be generated on the MicroSD card. This file will show the database entries of the S4600-ST®. This process needs a few seconds.

Battery management
S4600-ST® 49
8 Battery management
8.1 Battery operation / charging mode
Battery operation: The battery life in continuous measurement
mode depends on the selected display mode. With display setting "Normal", continuous measuring is possible for up to 18 hours, with display setting "Automatic" for up to 25 hours and with display setting "Eco Mode" of up to 38 hours.
Charging mode: External power supply unit 100-240 V~/50-
60 Hz. Intelligent charging by means of an integrated charging management system.
8.2 Charging the batteries
CAUTION
Damage to the battery or the device caused by power supply units that are not device-specific.
Use only the power supply unit delivered with the device for
charging the batteries.
Connect the device-specific power supply unit to mains and
then to the S4600-ST®.
The charging process of the batteries starts automatically:

Battery management

During measurements, the battery is also charged continuously and monitored by the system.
When the battery is fully charged and if the Battery menu is active, the device automatically switched off; if it is not active, the device switches to passive recharging mode (trickle charging).
When recharging is finished, the charger can remain connected to S4600-ST© without the battery being damaged.
Service life and capacity of the battery
S4600-ST© is equipped with a high-performance lithium ion battery. The service life and capacity of the battery are primarily determined by the way the device is charged and used. In order to make handling safer, the device features efficient and battery-saving charge management suitable for all application situations.
The graphical charge level indicator of S4600-ST© consists of three elements of a battery symbol and helps the user to correctly estimate the capacity of the battery. Five different battery states are detected.
The battery can be recharged at any time given that the charge management system recognises the need to recharge the battery. Otherwise, the charge management system will not release the battery for charging.
Operating the device at temperatures below +5 °C will considerably reduce the service life of the lithium ion battery.
