The unit
equipped
with the 3 masses option does not have
any
external differences in relation to the
standard
unit. The
modifications
are inside the unit (analysis cell magnet and electronic
super
visor
board).

The 3 masses option purpose, used with Hydrogen, is the
leak
research only and not the continuous analysis of the
hydrogen
concentration of a
gas.
The leak detector is not
adapted
for a
hydrogen concentration
continuous analysis. The leak detector use in such
conditions,
as well as the
hydrogen
concentration of the gas used,
are
under the supervision of the

Procedure
The leak detector can be
calibrated
in Hydrogen or Helium 3 with
an
external
calibrated
leak
connected
to the leak detector inlet.
Connect an Hydrogen or Helium 3
calibrated
leak at the inlet of
the
leak
detector
.
The
operator
should adjust the
parameters
of the
calibrated
leak
used.
