General Information
1.1
This Operations & Maintenance Manual describes in detail the
information needed to understand the operation and functions of the
VIC MS-40 Fully Automatic Portable Leak Detector (illustrated in
Figure 1-1), and provides the information needed to service and maintain
the unit in optimal working condition. This manual has been divided into
five chapters:
Chapter 1, General Information, describes the features of the MS-40 Leak
Detector, its basic operation, unpacking and inspection of the unit, installation
requirements as well as specifications for the unit.
Chapter 2, Operating the MS-40, details the controls necessary to operate
the MS-40, both during normal operation of the unit as well as when
placed in Service Mode. All external connectors and their
applicability to the unit and its functions are also discussed. This chapter
also includes an explanation of what occurs during the unit's start-up
procedure, a description of the leak test modes, an explanation of sniff
testing procedures, a step-by-step description of how to perform actual
leak testing, operations involving the optional external pump, an
explanation of what occurs during the unit's shutdown procedure, the
setting of the unit's testing parameters, and MS-40 self-testing procedures.
Chapter 3, Theory of Operation, has been included in order to give the
MS-40 user information on how the unit functions. Maintenance
personnel servicing the unit will find this most useful, since a thorough
technical understanding of how the unit operates is critical when
performing the repairs and service discussed in the following chapter.
