Quick Start
2.2.8.1 Fine Tuning
After you’ve entered the basic parameters into a program, you’re
ready to fine-tune your setup. A few tips:
• If not using external fixtures, set coupling time to zero.
• If product blows out of external fixtures, make sure you
have a long enough coupling time.
• If you get gross failures when testing a flexible product, try
increasing fill time or evacuate (for vacuum tests) time.
• Add fill and stabilize time to slow the decay rate and make
it more consistent.
• If your test doesn’t need a dump valve to vent product
pressure after testing, set the vent parameter to off.
• In a flow test, set test time long enough for the product
under test to fill and produce a stable flow rate.
• If repeated parts failures of good parts occur, try widening
the pressure error tolerance or adding more fill or evacuate
(for vacuum tests) time.
2.2.9 Put Sprint iQ to Work
When everything is programmed and checked out, you’re ready to
put Sprint iQ to work and start testing products. A few tips:
• Explain controls and run display messages to operators.
• Keep external connections to the product under test as
straight, rigid, and direct as possible. Flexible connections
can cause inconsistent readings.
• Put Sprint iQ in a place where the pressure regulator and
other controls on the back won’t get moved around or
damaged.
