1 General Information
The Protec P3000 helium leak detector is supplied ready for operation. However, we
recommend that you carefully read the Technical Handbook to ensure optimum
operating conditions right from the start. This handbook contains important informa-
tion on functions, installation, start-up and operation of the Protec P3000.
If not stated otherwise this technical handbook applies to all configurations of the
Protec P3000 (see Section 1.1.2). Sections specific to one configuration are marked
as "for … only". Sections marked as "for Protec P3000XL only" always apply to the
Protec P3000XL with the SL3000XL sniffer line (capable of
HIGH FLOW mode).
1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Intended Use
The Protec P3000 is a helium leak detector for sniffer applications. It may be used to
localise and quantify leaks in test samples if there is helium under an overpressure
within the test sample and when searching the test sample with a sniffer probe from
the outside (sniffer method). The use of this sniffer probe is mandatory for proper
operation and it is available as an accessory (Cat. No. 525-001 to 525-004).
The Protec P3000 must not be operated while standing in water or when
exposed to drip water. The same applies to all other kinds of liquids.
This Protec P3000 should only be used in rooms.
Avoid contact of the Protec P3000 with bases, acids and solvents as well as
exposure to extreme climatic conditions.
Ensure sufficient air cooling (see also Section 1.1.2)
This equipment is not intended to be used in residential areas and cannot
ensure adequate protection of radio reception in such environments.
