1. Switch to measurement display.
2. Insert the sniffer tip in the opening of the ECO-Check until you feel some
resistance.
3. Press the right button on the sniffer handle as soon as the display shows the line
“Calibration: Press right button.”
4. Remove the sniffer tip from the reference leak if the display shows the line
“Remove sniffer from cal-opening.”
5. Confirm the new values with the button on the bottom right.
Check calibration
(Test function)
If you insert the sniffer tip in the opening of the ECO-Check during measurement
operation, an examination of the calibration is started automatically (test function). The
device checks the measured value of the ECO-Check while the sniffer tip is inside the
opening of the calibrated leak. The operator is subsequently prompted to remove the
sniffer tip from the opening of the calibrated leak.
For gases released for internal calibration, either “Test o.k.” or “Recalibration
required!” will appear. For gases not activated for internal calibration, “Gas
deactivated” will be displayed. For gases that cannot be calibrated with the ECO-
Check due to very high or low mass positions, “Gas-spec. test not possible” is
displayed.
Press the “OK” button or the right button on the handle to return to measurement
operation.
6.4.2.2 External calibration with external calibrated leak
For external calibration of the Ecotec E3000, we recommend calibrated leaks with leak
rates >2g/a. If there are significantly elevated background concentrations in the test
environment, a calibrated leak with a high leak rate is required.
External calibration is a semi-automatic process. Text messages in the display guide
you through the calibration process. Calibration can be stopped at any time with the
“Cancel” button.
NOTICE
Incorrect calibration because of operating temperature that is too low
Calibrating the device in the cold state can deliver incorrect measurement results.
► The device must have been switched on for at least 60minutes before calibration
for hydrogen measurement.
► The device must have been switched on for at least 20minutes before calibration
for the measurement of all gases.
A warning is displayed if the device has not be switched on for 20minutes yet. Simply
confirm the warning and then continue with calibration if you know that the device has
reached operating temperature because it was switched off only briefly before
calibration. Otherwise start calibration again later.
