Setting Configuration Options
Setting Up the Leak Detector
The Leak Detector Set-up Screen lets you determine the action the detector should take
when an internal or external leak is detected. Each field on the Leak Detector Set-up Screen
can have one of three states. The three states are as follows:
• STOP
A running method or sequence is stopped. The detector's state becomes NOT READY. An
error message appears on the display. The error message is not cleared on the display
until the error is corrected or the user changes his requested response in the configura-
tion. An entry is made in the error log of the appropriate error message.
• CONT
The system continues to run. No change occurs in the detector's state. An error message
appears on the display. The error message is cleared the next time that line is written to
by the detector. An entry is made in the error log of the appropriate error message.
• IGNORE
No action is taken by the system. No error messages are displayed and no entry is made
in the error log.
When an internal and external leak is detected, an error message gets entered into the error
log. There are multiple leak error messages that indicate the specific problem. For more
information, see the "Checking the Instrument Log" topic later in this chapter.
To set the values for the fields on the Leak Detector Set-up Screen, follow the procedure on
the next page.
