PREAMBULE
1. DEFINITION OF THE ATEQ F610
The ATEQ F610 is a compact air/air
leak detector used to test the air-
tightness of parts. The method used
is based on the measurement of a
small variation or drop in differential
pressure between the test and
reference parts, when both are filled
to an identical pressure.

3. THE MAIN TYPES OF MEASUREMENT
Direct measurement, indirect measurement and sealed component measurement.
These three methods apply to measurements taken both under pressure and in vacuum
conditions.
The configuration is determined by the application and must be carried out prior to the
use of the instrument.
4. THE THREE TYPES OF TEST
Test with reference: measurement of a pressure
variation between a test part and a reference part.

5. PARAMETERS
Main parameters to configure:
Fill time: Time to fill the part to the test pressure.
Stabilization time: Time to equalize the pressure between the TEST and
REFERENCE components.
Test time: Leak measurement time, it depends of the reject level value and
the work mode programmed.
Dump time: Time to back the part to the atmospheric pressure. Dump time
by default is zero.
Pressure unit: Pressure unit (bar, mbar, PSI, Pa, kPa, MPa).
Maximum fill: Maximum level of the fill pressure.
Minimum fill: Minimum level of the fill pressure.
Fill instruction:
Test pressure that the device will automatically regulate.
Remind: the input pressure must be at least greater than 100
kPa (1 bar) of the test pressure.
Reject unit : Leak unit displayed. If a flow unit is selected, two parameters
are added.
Test reject: Level for the test part is fail.
Reference reject:
Level for the reference part is fail (possible problem on this
part).
Note: when the reference reject value is 0, the device takes into
account the absolute value of the symmetrical test reject.
Functions :

activated in the "More functions" menu.
Note: if no extended function has been activated from the
"More Functions" menus, the FUNCTION menu is empty.

Piezo auto zero: to run an auto zero cycle on the piezo sensor and on the electronic
pressure regulator.
Sealed component learning pass and fail part: this is pressure parameters learning
cycles for the sealed component mode. The pass part learning cycle is obligatory.
Calibration check: cycle to check the calibration by volume with a pass part.
Learning / Check: these cycles allow running a learn or a check cycle (or both) in
