Section 1. Introduction to the Leak Detector

1.1 The Leak Detector

The leak detector is a wide-range Helium Mass Spectrometer Leak Detector, which is
comprised of a turbo molecular high vacuum pump, internal mechanical rough pump
(model G8610A), internal scroll pump (model G8610B), external mechanical rough pump
(models G8611A, G8611B, G8611C, G8612A, G8612B, G8612C and G8612D),
spectrometer tube, valve block, leak detector electronics, an operator interface (TFT-Touch
Panel display and optional features, including:
❑
Wireless remote control that includes:
❑
❑
❑
Optional I/O PCB (P/N VSFLDIO).
Models G8611Ax, G8611Cx, G8611Bx and G8612D include an optional four-wheel cart.
All models are available in 100/115 VAC and 230 VAC configurations (see Table 1-1 on
page 26).
The wireless remote control has the following capabilities:
❑
RF communication between Agilent Technologies Helium Mass Spectrometer leak
detector (Base Station or Host) and the Wireless Remote unit from the distance up to
100 m (300 ft).
❑
Enter the leak detector unit into Test and Hold modes from the Wireless Remote unit
keypad.
❑
Read the leak detector unit's leak rate in a linear and logarithmic bar graph format
with a numeric range indicator and System status in alphanumeric format on the
Wireless Remote unit Touch Panel display.
❑
Configure up to ten different Agilent Technologies Helium Mass Spectrometer leak
detector units for wireless control by toggling through a MAC address list using one
Wireless Remote unit.
The optional I/O PCB compromises:
❑
Optically isolated parallel I/O (DB25 female connector with 12 output and 8 input
lines) to use with an external PLC and should be powered by the user (+5-24 VDC)
via a cable with length less than 10' and provided by the user (see Appendix A.3.2
"I/O Connector" on page 152).
