  • Page 41: Sl Extender Interface

    Purpose The ELD500 SL extender interface is an accessory to the ELD500 leak detector. It is used to carry out leak tests on over-pressure systems. Small amounts of ambient air are taken up together with the helium leaking from the system to be tested and this is supplied to the inlet of the helium leak detector.

  • Page 42: Technical Data

    Response time 18 seconds Weight 2.5 kg Technical description The ELD500 SL extender interface consists of a gas pump and a sample line (Figure 32). A micro-porous ceramic material, which can pass gas, is placed at connection flange (Figure 32 item 7), of the pump.

  • Page 43: Eld500 Sl Extender Interface

    A pushbutton marked "TEST" (Figure 32 item 5) is placed on the side of the ELD500 SL extender interface to briefly switch off the sample pump. As a result of this, the pressure in front of the separator increases from 200 mbar to atmospheric pressure, resulting in a corresponding increase in the signal, thereby indicating correct functioning.

    3) on the connection flange (Figure 33 item 4). The ELD500 SL extender interface is placed on the helium leak detector in such a way that the vacuum connection (Figure 33 item 4) enters the open inlet of the helium leak detector (Figure 33 item 6).
