Operator: The person who attaches products to Sprint LC, presses the
START button, and monitors the test. For the purposes of this guide, the
operator is separate from the user. Users typically handle Sprint LC’s
setup and programming.
Pass Light: Sprint LC’s green indicator with check mark. The pass light
turns on after the tester completes a test that remains within the established
parameters.

Parameters Menu: This menu is used to enter all setpoints and limits
concerning pressure decay, flow, or burst test. The parameters menu
changes depending on the type (or mode) of test being programmed
because different modes require varying setup information. The
parameters menu has a header that shows the program number for which
the parameters will be set.

Parameters line, advancing: In run mode, advance from one parameters
line to the next by pressing the NEXT (right arrow) keypad.
PLC: Abbreviation for Programmable Logic Controller. Industrial-
strength computers designed to accept analog inputs and to provide output
for process control. PLC’s are used in a variety of automated control
situations. Sprint LC can send discrete test results to and accept signals to
tell Sprint LC when to begin a test from a PLC through the tester’s I/O
port. Sprint LC can also send quantified test results over its RS-232
output. See I/O

Pressure Decay: Also called pressure drop or delta pressure. The pressure
change from the first measurement to the last measurement made during
the test phase of a test. See Reject Level

Pressure Decay Test: Pressure decay testing is used to test products for
leaks by trapping pressure inside a product and then measuring pressure
