7.4.1 Test methods
There are 2 possible test methods (see 4.3):
hard vacuum test,
sniffing test.
Switching from ’Hard Vacuum test’ to ’Sniffing test’
After modifying the settings, a transition duration of < 3 min during which the test can be
performed but calibration is not possible.
Switching from ’Sniffing test’ to ’Hard Vacuum test’
After modifying the settings, a transition duration of 30 s during which neither the test nor
the calibration can be performed.

7.4.2 Correction factor
The correction factor allows correction of the measured leak rate by the detector when it
is combined to a pump.

Displays: digital and
bargraph
Only the digital display is corrected by the correction factor: the correction factor does
not apply to the bargraph display.
From the "Settings" screen, press [Test].
Method Select the test method.
For the hard vacuum test, set the test mode: (see 7.4.3)
For the sniffing test, set the sniffing probe model used: (see 7.4.4)
NOTICE
Limit of operation
Make sure that the parts or chambers connected to the inlet of our products withstand
a negative pressure of 1 · 10
3
hPa in relation to atmospheric pressure.
For quick access from the control panel, set a function key for [Method] (see
7.7.2).
From the "Settings" screen, press [Test].
HV Correction/Sniff.
Correction
Activate the correction factor application.
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 ((see 11.3)
for the factor to be applied), if parallel pumping is installed, or if the Helium 4 used
is not 100 % Helium 4.
Depending on the concentration of tracer gas used for detecting leaks, the leak
rate displayed changes.
Example: the leak rate displayed with a calibrated leak of 1·10
-8
Pa·m

/s
(1·10
-7
mbar·l/s) (with 100 %
