The tightness test can only be performed if the pres-
sure downstream of V2 is around atmospheric pressure
and the volume downstream of V2 is at least 5 x higher
than the volume between the valves.
The tightness control TC runs program A or Bdepend-
ing on the initial situation. Both valves are checked for
tightness respectively, but only one valve is opened at a
time.
During the test, the TC also checks their fail-safe opera-
tion.
After a brief power failure during the tightness test or
operation, the TC restarts automatically.
