  • Page 42: Calibration In Hard Vacuum Test Mode With Internal Calibrated Leak

    Operation The manufacturer does not provide calibrated leaks in He and H The choice of external calibrated leak depends on application requirements: use a calibrat- ed leak from the same leak rate range as the leak to be measured. 7.5.1 Calibration in hard vacuum test mode with internal calibrated leak Calibration with an internal calibrated leak requires the 'Internal calibration' option/accessory (see chap- ter “Accessories”).

  • Page 43: Calibration In Hard Vacuum Test With A Pumping System In Parallel

    Operation If the detector is equipped with ‘Internal calibration’ option/accessory, you are advised to perform a machine calibration. If the detector is not equipped with the 'Internal calibration' option/accessory, it is advisable to perform an autocorrection (see chapter "Calibration with a pumping system in parallel"). Before performing a machine calibration, the detector should be calibrated by carrying out a calibration with the internal or external calibrated leak.
