    Operating Instructions. Note The Leybold PHOENIX L300i leak detector has been designed for safe and efficient operation when used properly and in accordance with these Operating Instructions. It is the responsibility of the user to carefully read and strictly observe all safety precautions described in this section and throughout the Operating Instructions.
  • Page 6 Make sure that the mains voltage rating on the PHO- ENIX L300i coincides with the locally available mains voltage. When the PHOENIX L300i is running in closed rooms the exhaust has to be put out of doors so that the oil vapor can not be breathed in.
  • Page 7 Definition of Terms The range of the preamplifier and the vacuum ranges are selected automatically. The auto ranging feature of the PHOENIX L300i covers the entire range or leak Auto ranging rates depending on the selected operating mode. Not only the leak rate signal, but also the pressure in the test sample (inlet pressure P1) and the fore vacuum pres- sure (P2) are used for control purposes.
  • Page 8 Precision is a measurement mode for the PHOENIX L300i DRY only from an inlet PRECISION pressure < 0,01 mbar. In this mode the PHOENIX L300i DRY has the highest sen- sitivity, the minimum detectable leak rate is  3 · 10 mbar l / s.
  • Page 9: Description

    The vacuum is achie- ved with a pumping system that is part of the PHOENIX L300i. In addition the vacuum can be generated by pumps which are set up in parallel to the PHOENIX L300i.

    Description Another operating mode of the PHOENIX L300i is the Sniffer mode which can only be used when a sniffer line (See Chapter 1.1.6) is hooked up. 1.1.1 Vacuum Diagram PHOENIX L300i The vacuum diagram below shows the major components inside the PHOENIX L300i.
  • Page 11: Vacuum Diagram Phoenix L300I Dry

    1.1.2 Vacuum Diagram PHOENIX L300i DRY The PHOENIX L300i DRY has a diaphragm pump as fore vacuum pump, making it suitable for applications where oil sealed systems can not be used. Furthermore the PHOENIX L300i DRY contains one more valve, the valve 4b. This valve opens step by step to regulate the inlet pressure into the turbo pump.
  • Page 12: Vacuum Diagram Phoenix L300I Modul

    1.1.3 Vacuum Diagram PHOENIX L300i MODUL The PHOENIX L300i MODUL has no roughing pump integrated as the other models. Therefore it can be used with an external pump only. This pump can be oil sealed or a dry version with a roughing capacity between 2.5 and 65 m /h.
  • Page 13: Vacuum Method

    Because of the higher base pressure of the diaphragm pump the switching from GROSS to FINE mode of the PHOENIX L300i DRY is done by the valve V4b. When the pressure drops below 3,5 mbar the valves V1 and V2b will be close and V4b...

  • Page 85: The Calibration Routines

    Although the PHOENIX L300i is a very stable inst- rument a calibration is recommended every day with heavy use, or before using the PHOENIX L300i from time to time, to make sure that ambient temperature changes or dirt or other impacts don’t adulterate the measurements.
