9  If there is a drop in pressure, there is a small leak present.  Check the test part and 
the pneumatic connections, then start again. 
9  If the pressure is stable, the part does not contain a small leak and the stabilisation 
time is therefore too long. Progressively shorten and carry out cycles (wait one 
minute between each cycle) until you see the appearance of a drop in pressure. This 
indicates  that the stabilisation time has become too short. Increase it slightly. 
)Set this parameter using the method described in paragraph 2.3. 
2.3.4.  Test time 
The test time depends on the programmed reject level and operation mode 
In the dP/dt (Pa/s) mode, the variation in measured pressure is due to the drift in the 
pressure drop. . 
In the dP (Pa) mode, the pressure variation measured is the total of the pressure drop 
over the whole test time. This mode is more unstable, but is more sensitive.  The 
instrument totals all the variations occurring due to variations in volume or temperature 
over the whole test time. 
)Set this parameter using the method described in paragraph 2.3. 
2.3.5.  Dump time 
The instrument will as default propose a dump time of zero. This must be set by 
carrying out several tests.  
)Set this parameter using the method described in paragraph 2.3. 
2.3.6.  Pressure units 
The different units are bar, mbar, PSI, Pa, kPa, Mpa.  
) Set this parameter using the method described in paragraph 2.3. 
2.3.7.  Maximum fill 
This function is used to set a maximum limit for the fill pressure.  A warning is triggered 
if this limit is exceeded. 
  When test time is infinite, the maximum fill pressure monitoring is inoperative.  
Care should therefore be taken to avoid excess pressure being applied to the part 
during the test.  
) Set this parameter using the method described in paragraph 2.3. 
2.3.8.  Minimum fill 
This function is used to set a minimum limit for the fill pressure.  A warning is triggered if 
this limit is not reached.  
) Set this parameter using the method described in paragraph 2.3.
