He SIGNAL ANALOG SCALE DISPLAY AUDIO ALARM Leak detector in hard vacuum or sniffing How to read the He signal analog scale? The audio alarm offers 2 modes of operation. They are both linked to the zero function. test mode and zero function not activated. reject point is visualized by a blinking led. zero function not activated: the audio alarm starts when the He signal exceeds a fixed set point: this set point is programmable. if the leak value exceeds the reject point, the leds will turned red (the blinking led will turn orange). zero function activated: the audio alarm is modulated with respect to the position of the helium if the leak value remains under the reject point, the leds will remain green. background.

Deactivation of zero function: ZERO FUNCTION ZERO the digital display shows the standard He signal. Purpose: the zero function offers the operator the possibility to detect small leaks that are smaller than the Use Helium signal analog scale. helium background. Analog display: Activation of zero function: connect the part or installation to be tested. • When zero function is activated, use the Helium signal zero scale. mbar.l/s CYCLE • The He signal zero scale displays 2 leds signal centered around the zero value.
