As an alternative, the pump connection can also be made on the right side in the vacuum version of the Modul1000. Unscrew the connection flange with the open-end wrench AF13 to remodel it and remove the seal.
  • Page 34 Fig. 4-4 Installing the orifice Ventilation Normally, the DUTs or connected vacuum chambers are vented with ambient air after the test has been completed. If necessary, the DUTs can be ventilated with a different gas (e.g. fresh air, dry air, nitrogen, etc.) to atmospheric pressure. In these cases, the gas supply must be connected to the flood connection (8 mm hose connection) on the left side of the device.
  • Page 35: Operation Modes

    Operation modes The following vacuum operating modes are available: • Vacuum, • Commander, • Auto Leak Test. In these operating modes, a partial flow pump can additionally be used. In the sniffing version of the Modul1000 there is also the operating mode: •...
  • Page 36: Partial Flow Mode

    Partial flow mode In order to increase the effective pumping speed at the vacuum chamber or the DUT, an external partial flow valve can be connected to the valve outlet V20. The increased pumping speed accelerates evacuation processes and the signal response time of the Modul1000.
  • Page 37: Auto Leak Test

    Auto Leak Test In Auto Leak Test operating mode, components filled with helium can be tested inte- grally in a vacuum chamber. The Modul1000 takes over the entire control of the test sequence. The test sequence is divided into the following steps: Evacuating the vacuum chamber, Measuring the leak rate and subsequently ventilating the vacuum chamber.
  • Page 38: Commander Operation

    Serial error message The software menu can be used to set a serial error message after a certain number of consecutive measurements with the result "FAIL". The number of consecutive measurements necessary for Modul1000 to issue a serial error message can be set between 2 - 9.
  • Page 39: Construction Of A Leak Detection System

    5.4.1 Construction of a leak detection system The construction of a leak detection system with the Modul1000 commander function corresponds essentially to that of a conventional integral leak test system. The vacuum chamber is evacuated by the Modul1000, alternatively also in the partial flow mode (Fig.
  • Page 40: Test Procedure

    Helium filling device The helium filling device consists of the vacuum pump, the valves V30 - V34, a pres- sure measuring point and the helium supply. Valves V30, V31, V32, V33, V34 The test sequence of the Commander Software includes the control of all necessary valves belonging to the helium filling of the DUT.

  • Page 42: Sniffer Mode

    Sniffer mode The Modul1000 in the sniffer version can be used as a vacuum as well as a sniffer device. To be able to use it as a sniffer leak detector, the optional sniffer line SL200 must be connected to the "Sniff" connector on the right side of the Modul1000. In the measur- ing mode, the module then sucks a constant gas stream through the sniffer line.

    6.6.1 Calibration in vacuum mode The Modul1000 can be calibrated in different ways. For each calibration the mass spectrometer is adjusted to maximum sensitivity (Auto tune). A distinction is made between internal and external calibration, depending on the test leak used. The calibration can be started in any of the following ways, regardless of the control location: Set control location...
  • Page 52: Calibrating In Sniffer Mode

    External calibration The external calibration offers the advantage that it takes account of the application- specific measurement conditions. Instead of the test object or at a suitable location of the leak detection system, a suitable calibration leak can be connected to the inlet of the Modul1000.

  • Page 54: Machine Factor

    Machine factor The machine factor takes into account the fact that the Modul1000 is used in parallel with a pumping system (partial flow method). Since, in such an installation configuration, only a part of the leakage gas flows through the leak detector, the Modul1000 outputs smaller measured values on the basis of an internal calibration by the partial flow ratio.

    • Leakage Rate Proportional: The frequency of the audible signal is proportional to the bar graph display. The frequency range is 300 Hz to 3300 Hz. • Setpoint: The pitch is proportional to the leak rate. However, a tone will sound only if the leak rate has exceeded trigger 1.
  • Page 61 No action is required for manual internal calibration. No inputs are required during the actual calibration phase. In a last step, the Modul1000 saves the newly determined calibration factor. If the newly determined calibration factor deviates by a factor of two from the calibra- tion factor previously determined in the calibration, the acceptance of the new values must be confirmed.

    TEST FAIL Closed when the result of the Auto Leak test measurement is "FAIL". The digital valve outputs The 16-pin Phoenix connector on the back of the device is labeled "VALVES". Use a ferrite on the cable (eg Würth 742 712 21). Lay the cable twice through the ferrite and place it as close as possible to the 14-pin connector.

    Analog output The 4-pin Phoenix pin strip is located on the back of the device and is labeled "RECORDER". The recorder outputs can be used to record the leak rate, the inlet pressure, and the foreline pressure. The values of the recorder output are updated every 50 ms. Both recorder outputs can be set individually for the output of leak rates and pressures.
