Precautions for the test environment
•Keep the test area as clean as possible.
Precautions for the operators
•ATEQ recommends that the operators using the instruments should have a
suitable qualification and training with respect to the work bench requirements.
General precautions
•Read the user manual before using the instrument,
•all electrical connections to the instrument must be equipped with a safety
system (fuse, circuit breaker…) appropriate to its needs and complying with the
standards,
•to avoid electromagnetic interference, the cable connections to the instrument
should be less than two meters in length,
•it is essential that the electrical main is earthed,
•disconnect the electrical connections to the equipment before maintenance,
•cut the air supply for any kinds of operation on the pneumatic assembly,
•do not open the instrument when it is powered up,
•avoid water spillage near of the instrument,
•ATEQ is at your disposal for any further information concerning the use of the

This may be carried out on site or in our offices.
ATEQ is attached to the COFRAC and delivers a certificate following a calibration.
TRAINING COURSES
In the framework of partnership with our customers, ATEQ offers two types of training in order to
optimise the usage and knowledge of our instruments. They are aimed at different levels of technician:
•method / control training,
•maintenance / upkeep training.
A TARGETED TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION
A number of technical documents are at your disposal to allow you to intervene rapidly in the event
minor breakdowns:
•problem sheets describing and offering solutions to the main pneumatic and electronic
problems,
•several maintenance manuals.
A QUALITY GUARANTEE
The instruments are guaranteed for parts and labour in our offices:
•2 years for leak detection equipment,

The ATEQ Leak/flow calibrator is a flow meter destined for checking leak instruments
and in particular those of ATEQ. It measures a loss of charge using a pressure sensor
placed on a calibrated flow tube. It can also be used for checking a leak flow or a
calibrated jet.

Note: the zero offset linked to the temperature or the position can be take over by an
auto-zero. It is however advised to make an auto-zero before a measurement.
Recommendation of use: according to some use's conditions, the instrument can put
to two hours of time of heating before complete stabilization.
