Detection Sensitivity to Gases
12 Agilent CrossLab CS Electronic Leak Detector Operation Manual
Detection Sensitivity to Gases
The sensitivity of detection to other gases depends on the
relative thermal conductivity of the target gas with respect to
ambient air. Below is a table of the calculated minimum
detectable leak.

Operating Modes
With the leak detector switched on, briefly press the Power/Mode
button to scroll through different operational modes.
The available operational modes are as follows:
Warm Up mode
This is the default mode on power up. The leak detector warms
up for 50 seconds when turned on. The warm up process can
be skipped by briefly pressing and releasing the Power/Mode
button. However, to guarantee accuracy in Detection mode,
allow for the completion of the warm up process. After the
warm up is complete, the leak detector will switch to Detection
mode automatically and is ready for use.
Figure 4. Example of warm up screen and scroll to operational modes.

Leak Detector
Detection mode
14 Agilent CrossLab CS Electronic Leak Detector Operation Manual
Detection mode
In this mode, the leak detector is ready to detect a gas leak.
When the probe is measuring ambient air, the first bar
alternating between a filled bar and an empty bar indicates that
the leak detector is stable. Press the Enter/Clear/Toggle button
to clear the bars if it is not alternating between a filled and an
empty first bar.
When a gas leak is detected, bar levels are displayed on the
screen. The number of bar levels is proportional to the extent of
the leak, and a maximum of eight bar levels can be displayed,
indicating a large leak is detected. There are two types of bar
levels to indicate the type of gas entering the detector:
Filled bar – Gas leak for gases with higher thermal conductivity
than air.

Leak Detector
Detection mode
Agilent CrossLab CS Electronic Leak Detector Operation Manual 15
Empty bar – Gas leak for gases with lower thermal conductivity
than air.
When the number of bar levels is greater than two, the leak alert
sign will blink on the screen to give a visual alert, and the buzzer
will sound to give an audible alert.
When probing ambient air, false readings of bars may be
displayed on the screen. This may be due to tip drift. To perform
a reset and baseline correction, hold the probe in ambient air for
2 seconds, then press and release the Enter/ Clear/Toggle
button. After the correction, the number of bar levels is reset to
zero and Recalibrated is displayed on the screen to indicate that
the leak detector is recalibrated.

Agilent CrossLab CS Electronic Leak Detector Operation Manual 17
Buzzer
When the leak detector is on, the buzzer setting defaults to On.
This means that the leak detector is able to give an audible alert
when the number of bar levels displayed are greater than two.
To change the buzzer setting:
1With Info mode displayed, briefly press and release the
Enter/Clear/Toggle button to cycle through available
screens until the Buzzer screen is displayed.
2Press and hold the Enter/Clear/Toggle button for
two seconds to toggle between On and Off options. The
buzzer function changes based on the selected option.
Auto off
In battery power mode, the unit defaults to “auto off” when the
power is on. This means that every time the unit is activated, a
“power-off” cycle begins, lasting for 10 minutes. The leak
detector will operate continuously until it is manually turned off.
In USB power mode, the Auto off function is always off and the
option to change the Auto off setting is disabled.
To change the Auto off setting:
1With Info mode displayed, briefly press and release the
Enter/Clear/Toggle button to cycle through available
screens until the Auto off screen is displayed.

Filter date information
With Info mode displayed, briefly press and release the
Enter/Clear/Toggle button to cycle through available screens
until the Filter screen is displayed.
The Filter screen displays date information about the currently
