This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Phoenix Mobilis. You must use the Phoenix Mobilis as specified in this manual. The units used throughout this manual conform to the SI international system of units of measurement.
Description 2.2 Applications You can use the Phoenix Mobilis on many types of applications, including: ▪ Quality assurance testing on manufactured component seals. ▪ Pneumatic applications, such as leak testing of pipeline joints, gaskets and so forth. Detection of leaks from: ▪...
3.2.2 Gas detection The Phoenix Mobilis can detect any gas or vapour which has a different thermal conductivity to the ambient air in which it was made to zero. The larger the difference the greater the sensitivity, the Phoenix Mobilis is not...

Technical data The Phoenix Mobilis is supplied with a list of calibration factors for common gases (refer to Table: Smallest detectable leak level). It comes with 5 generic 'gas groups' with a variation in sensitivities which can be used as a...
If the storage case or other item is damaged, notify your supplier and the carrier immediately. Give the supplier and the carrier the information that follows: ▪ item number serial number stamped on the rear case of the Phoenix Mobilis ▪ order number ▪ ▪...
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD Risk of injury. Do not use the Phoenix Mobilis in potentially explosive atmospheres. The Phoenix Mobilis is not internally safe. Do not use the Phoenix Mobilis in safety critical applications. Make sure that the batteries are installed as per the procedure detailed in Replace or install batteries on page 21.
'x100' range as this is the most sensitive. Adjust the sensitivity with the up and down keys if required. Hold the Phoenix Mobilis at 45° to the object under test and draw the probe across the test area at a rate of approximately 25 mm per second. When a leak is detected, the bar graph will fill, the reading will increase and the frequency of the LED flasher will increase.
Human breath contains moisture and carbon dioxide which may also affect the readings of the instruments. 5.4 Phoenix Mobilis keypad The Phoenix Mobilis is operated using a 6 button tactile keypad as shown in Figure: Phoenix Mobilis keypad layout.

Note: The unit automatically switches off if no key presses are detected for approximately 10 minutes. Pressing the esc key switches the Phoenix Mobilis between the running screen and the main menu. Once in the main menu screen, pressing the up and down buttons scroll between the different instrument functions.
Gas selection Display Function Contrast adjusts the contrast of the Phoenix Mobilis LCD display. Significant variations in ambient temperature conditions may cause the display to appear too dark or dim. When selected a number appears indicating the contrast as a percentage; use the up or down keys to adjust the display contrast to the desired level.

When you use the Phoenix Mobilis in peak hold mode, press the enter key to clear the held reading. The reading held on the screen will be logged when the enter key is pressed.
CAUTION: OVER TIGHTENING Risk of damage to the equipment damage. Only use the box spanner supplied with the Phoenix Mobilis to tighten the probes. Other tools may result in over tightening of the nut and permanent damage to the instrument.
The Phoenix Mobilis is supplied with two calibration settings, factory and custom. The factory calibration setting cannot be changed. The custom calibration allows the user to calibrate the Phoenix Mobilis at the local atmospheric pressure which may offer an improvement over the factory calibration.
Read the instructions below before calibrating the Phoenix Mobilis. The following procedure should be followed if the Phoenix Mobilis has been set to concentrations (ppm or mg/m Table 6 Calibration of the Phoenix Mobilis (concentration units)
6.4 Custom calibration (cc/sec leak rate units) CAUTION: CALIBRATION ERROR Risk of error in data. Do not breathe on the probe. The Phoenix Mobilis can detect changes in humidity and carbon dioxide and significant errors in the calibration will result.

Maintenance Display Function ▪ Make sure that the Phoenix Mobilis is in clean air and press enter key. ▪ The Instrument will take a few seconds to zero and then the ready screen will appear. ▪ Fully insert the probe into the sample bag and press the enter key.
If you store the unit for a long time, we recommend that you remove the batteries in order to reduce the risk of damage due to battery leakage. Reinstall the Phoenix Mobilis in its storage case and store it in cool and dry conditions until required for use as described in Table: Technical data.
Order spare parts and accessories from our nearest company or distributor. When ordering, state for each part required: ▪ Serial number stamped on the rear of your Phoenix Mobilis Item number and description of part ▪ 9.1 Return the equipment or components for service...
