3. Press the green start button to start the test cycle. Depending on the
configuration, the cycle may start automatically when the chamber is
closed.
4. The controller will run a full test cycle. If a fault occurs during the test, the
test sequence will immediately stop and wait for the operator to
acknowledge the fault by pressing the Abort/Reset button.
5. At the end of cycle, the part will be classified as a pass or fail, with an
accompanying red or green light.
6. Remove the part and disposition according to the test results.

Sniffing Operation

The main test screen shown below indicates key test data to help the operator to
monitor and perform the sniffing then leak test. Note that a new test recipe can be
loaded from this screen by selecting the recipe number. Normal Auto and
Calibration cycles can be interrupted at any time by pressing the Abort/Reset
button. Aborted cycles must be acknowledged similar to a fault by pressing the
Abort/Reset button. The actual test sequence is configured in the software by
LACO and will be detailed in the accompanying ATLAS System Manual.
System Calibration
The calibration will be performed through the leak detector using an external
calibrated leak. Follow the instructions on the leak detector to complete the
calibration.
Running Automated Tests
Once the ATLAS system has been calibrated, part leak testing can occur. To run an
automated test cycle:
1. Make all appropriate connections from the ATLAS to the part to be tested.
