6.1 General Functional Description Sartocheck
®
4 plus Filter tester is a qualifiable filter integrity testing unit, consisting
of a data management unit, a test unit and up to four additional Filter tester
MultiUnits or Bag tester MultiUnits.
The test unit is a mechanically, pneumatically and electrically closed functional unit.
A test unit cannot be operated directly by the user, but is 100% controlled by the
data management unit via an internal RS 485 interface. With the help of its electrical
and pneumatic peripheral devices, the data management unit performs the actual
filter tests along with a series of other additional functions.

the bag test or for the filter integrity test.
A programmed test program can be loaded into the test unit and the test will be run
independently.
– Load a test program
– Run a test program
The test unit runs through the previously loaded test program, in other words,
it carries out the test and saves the result in non-volatile memory. The data manage-
ment unit monitors the progress of the bag test or the filter integrity test, i.e. it reads
in the current data in order to present them to the user.
