Page 11: Calibration
Calibration Calibration Purpose Calibration helps ensure that the leak detector is correctly adjusted to detect the tracer gas selected and display the correct leak rate. A calibrated leak is used to calibrate the leak detector. Depending on the test method, different types of calibration can be performed. Test method Hard Vacuum Sniffing... -
Page 12: Calibration With An External Calibrated Leak
Calibration NOTICE Detector calibration When switched on, the detector suggests that the operator carry out an auto-calibration (if calibration parameter = ’operator’). For the optimal use of the detector, this auto-cal- ibration must be performed. In all situations, a manual or automatic calibration must be performed: at least once a day to optimise the measurement reliability for high sensitivity tests... -
Page 13: Calibration Procedure With External Leak In Hard Vacuum Test
Calibration Start a calibration: press the [Auto cal] function key. Fit the sniffer probe (3) in the calibration opening. Tighten the fixing screw (4). Follow the calibration process indicated on the control panel. Loosen the fixing screw (4). Remove the sniffer probe from the calibration opening. Continue the calibration process indicated on the control panel. -
Page 14: Calibration On Concentration
Calibration Calibration on concentration Concentration = container at atmospheric pressure with a gas mixture of a known tracer gas concentration. NOTICE Before launching this function, make sure that the leak detector is in an environ- ment free of tracer gas pollution. 4.4.1 Procedure The calibration on concentration can be made only in sniffing test, detector in Stand-by... - Page 15 Calibration Allocate a [Correction] function key (see Configuration Menu in the Operating Man- ual). Select the 'hard vacuum' or 'sniffing' test mode. If ’Sniffing test’, connect the sniffer probe to the detector: connect it to an external calibrated leak or place it in a container with a known concentration. Press to start a test.

Covers disassembly For all maintenance operations (apart from handling), immobilise the leak detector by setting the brakes on the rear wheels. - Page 17 Maintenance / replacement Lift the cover vertically by holding it by the black handle on the inside of the casing and the control panel's support arm. Place it in front of the detector in its alignment: check that the control panel cable is clear.
- Page 18 Maintenance / replacement Cover removed: – The operator must never perform mechanical actions to the calibrated leak. – The operator must never move the detector by pulling on the leak. Placement Shut down the detector (Position the circuit breaker on O, control panel switched off and mains power cable disconnected).

Do you have a question about the ASM 380 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
We had to cycle the power on our ASM 380 unit, and when it came back up, it got stuck on the message "Starting Secondary Pump". We powered it down, waited 30minutes, then turned it back on. Then it came up with these two Warning messages: e096: Auto-cal Failure and e058: Sensitivity Too High. What do we do to fix these warnings?
The context provided does not give detailed steps to fix the warnings. However, based on the information:
- For e096: Fault in Autocal +2nd code, it suggests an issue with the automatic calibration process. Actions typically involve:
- Check and clean the internal sensors.
- Verify calibration conditions (temperature, background levels).
- Restart the autocalibration process manually.
- For e058: Sensitivity Too High, it indicates the unit is detecting leaks too sensitively. Actions usually include:
- Inspect and clean the vacuum system and sensors.
- Ensure there are no contaminations or false leak sources.
- Recalibrate the system.
If problems persist, a full maintenance check or contacting technical support is recommended.
