7.4.2 Correction factor
The correction factor allows correction of the measured leak rate by the detector when it
is combined with parallel pumping.
Fig. 34: "Correction" screen using a function key
Displays: digital and
bargraph
Only the digital display is corrected by the correction factor: the correction factor does
not apply to the bargraph display.
The customer's external primary pump does not constitute parallel pumping. A correction
factor has to be implemented.
7.4.3 Automatic Cycle End
This function allows automatic control of the roughing time and measurement time in a
hard vacuum test.
7.4.4 Memo function
This function freezes the "Standard" screen and displays the most recent test result: the
leak rate displayed flashes.
From the "Settings" screen, press [Test].

Correction
Ö Activate the correction factor application.
Ö Set the correction factor to be applied.
For quick access from the control panel, set a function key for [Correction] (see
7.7.2).
Use the correction factor to work in a unit other than the one suggested if parallel
pumping is installed, or if the Helium used is not 100% Helium 4: (see 11.3) for the
factor to be applied.
Depending on the concentration of tracer gas used for detecting leaks, the leak
rate displayed changes.

Automatic cycle
end
Ö Activate the function.
Function activated if ’automatic’ is set.
Roughing timer Setting optional if ’automatic’ is set.
Ö Activate the control for the roughing duration.
Ö Set the maximum roughing duration allowed.
If the control is activated and the duration expires (detector still in roughing) = part re-
jected.
Test timer Setting required if ’automatic’ is set.
Ö Set the measurement duration.
When the duration expires, the measured leak rate is displayed.
Function to use to automate small production or carry out repetitive operations
with different detectors.
