1. HELIOT 900 Series Specificatons and Configurations 1-8 Measurement principle 1-8-1 Ion Current HELIOT is a leak detector which detects ion current of helium or hydrogen by using principles of magnetic deflection mass spectrometer. Ion current is measured by the analyzer part of HELIOT.
1. HELIOT 900 Series Specificatons and Configurations 1-8-2 Sensitivity Calibration (Leak Rate) To measure leak rate, it is necessary to associate the detected ion current [A] with the leak rate [Pa・m /s]. HELIOT performs this operation by using a known calibrated leak. The process is called sensitivity calibration.
1. HELIOT 900 Series Specificatons and Configurations 1-8-3 Sensitivity Calibration (Concentration) Sensitivity calibration, which is executed when setting Sniffer concentration, is a measurement of helium concentration. Sensitivity calibration is the relationship between the ion current value and concentration, and is shown by a line connecting the ion current value ε (ε,δ) when intake of standard gas δ[ppm] is executed, and the origin of a graph (0, 0).

8. Testing 8-4 -0- ZERO Button and Functions After being measured as an initial value at sensitivity calibration (refer to Section 1-8-2), zero point changes after startup in cold start up. Zero point during measurement will be as follows. 8-4-1 -0-ZERO Button Condition Display (1) When -0-ZERO button lights (blue) When -0-ZERO button lights, Auto Zero is active.
8. Testing ※ Note when auto zero function is turned off. The amount of residual helium in the analyzer tube changes right after the startup or when gross leak is measured. During testing with auto zero function turned off right after startup, the display value of leak rate may become negative (lower value) as the amount of residual helium decreases.
