Agilent CrossLab CS Electronic Leak Detector Operation Manual
1
Press and release the Power/Mode button to turn on
the leak detector.
2
As the leak detector warms up, the pump can be heard.
Wait until the warm up process is complete. The unit will
switch to Detection mode automatically.
3
In Detection mode, check the stability of the unit by
observing the bar levels on the screen. When stable, there
is one bar, which alternates between a filled and an empty
bar. The probe should be held up to ambient air for the unit
to stabilize.
•
If there is more than one bar observed on the screen,
briefly press and release the Enter/Clear/Toggle
button to perform baseline correction.
•
Tip drift, temperature, and humidity fluctuations can
impact the stability.
4
Place the probe near the gas connection to check for a
leak. Avoid touching the probe tip against the fittings,
tubing, and so forth as heat conduction may affect the leak
detection results.
•
An audible alarm sounds when three or more bar
levels are displayed (when the Buzzer is set to On).
5
Always press and release the Enter/Clear/Toggle button
while the probe is held in ambient air. This should be done
before probing in suspected leak areas to ensure accuracy.
