Explosion hazard.
To detect leaks using «hydrogen» tracer gas, always use hydrogenated
nitrogen (95 % N2 and 5 % H2) (see chapter A of operating manual).
Operation
After connecting the appliance to the pumping line, check for leaks along
the whole of the line to ensure proper connections have been made (pump,
pipes, valves, etc.).
ASM 380 detector
This leak detector must not be used without its purge system. The user must
make sure the purger is present and working properly.
The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage to the product and
the guarantee is void if the purge does not work.
The products are factory tested to ensure they will not leak in normal
operating conditions. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure this level of leak
tightness is maintained.
If the appliance is used in applications where dust or solid particles are
present, we advise protecting it with an inlet filter (see section A of the
operating manual).
Always use clean pipes and fittings in the pumping installation.
Make sure all parts and chambers connected to the inlet of our products can
withstand a negative pressure of 1 bar below atmospheric pressure and that
they are impervious to damage from vacuum (seals, etc.).
The inlet pressure must be no higher than atmospheric pressure.
Too high a pressure can damage the product
Remove the blanking plates on the inlet and exhaust orifices. These are to
prevent foreign bodies entering the pump during transport and storage.
Make sure the exhaust pressure does not exceed 1200 mbar (absolute). Too
high a pressure can damage the appliance.
