Leak Check Procedure
1. Connect a shut off valve to the exhaust port of the analyser.
2. Connect a pump to the shut off valve ensuring the shut off valve is in the open position, turn on
the pump.
3. Block the analyser’s sample calibration and BGnd air ports with a Swagelok ¼” blocker nut.
4. Switch on the analyser, navigate from the Main Menu Service Menu Diagnostics Valve
Menu. Switch off the valve sequencing and close all valves.
5. Close the shut off valve and record the vacuum. Wait for 3 minutes and then observe the gauge
on the leak check jig. It should not drop more than 5kpa. If it has then a leak is present within the
sample cycle of the instrument.
