Incorrect usage
6 / 50
• The device is intended for leak testing lithium-ion batteries in a vacuum and is
used to detect electrolyte leaking from a test object.
• The test objects must contain a solvent in the electrolyte, which can be detected
by a quadrupole mass spectrometer.
• The ELT Vmax and the CP7 are suitable for use in the dry room.
• Only operate the device as intended, as described in the operating instructions, in
order to avoid hazards due to incorrect use.
• Comply with application limits, see "Technical Data".
Avoid the following unintended uses:
• Placing the device in a location where strong electromagnetic fields from third-
party equipment may affect the measuring results
• Using the device without a protective earth conductor on the main device or
operating unit
• Use of the device in case of recognizable defects
• Use in radioactive areas
• Pumping off test specimens that are not vacuum-proof
• Use of the device in dry environments (relative humidity <30%) without consulting
INFICON.
• Use outside the technical specifications, see "Technical Specifications"
• Pumping off solids
• Operation without connected and active pumps on all pump connections
• Use of accessories or spare parts, which are not included in this instruction
manual
• Testing of wet or damp test objects
• Suctioning of liquids into the device
• Using the device in potentially explosive atmospheres
• Using the device with chambers that do not participate in the equipotential bonding
• Connection of dangerous electrical voltages to the device interfaces
• Installation in racks or attachment to brackets (device or optional control unit) that
do not have sufficient load-bearing capacity.
• Suction of aggressive, corrosive, explosive, reactive, radioactive and
microbiological substances.
• Intake of flammable or toxic substances if no pumps are connected e.g. refrigerant
