5 Installation
5.1 Prerequisites for optimising measurement
To optimise pumping and measurement speed:
●Use pipe with a diameter equal to the diameter of the detector's inlet. The pipes should
be as short as possible and completely sealed.
●Do not use plastic hoses such as compressed air pipes.
●Check that the connected part/installation is impermeable to tracer gas.
●Test only clean, dry parts/installations with no trace of water, vapour, paint, detergent
or rinsing products.
●Test that the entire line is completely sealed when the detector is attached to the
pumping circuit, to ensure that the connections are correct (pump, pipe, valves, etc.).
5.2 Operating conditions
Environmental conditions (see 11.2).
5.3 Set-up
The leak detector must be installed on a flat, horizontal surface, supported by its feet,
with the detector's inlet port on the top.
Choose the location for set up according to the dimensions of the detector: chapter
Technical Characteristics (see 11.2).
DANGER
Explosion hazard.
For detecting leaks with 'hydrogen' tracer gas, the operator must use hydrogenated ni-
trogen (mix of 95 % N2 and 5 % H2).
NOTICE
Risk of pollution from solid substances
When applications generate particles, we recommend protecting the detector's inlet.
Install a inlet filter.
NOTICE
Detector ventilation
If there is insufficient ventilation, overheating could cause damage to the components:
Comply with the ambient operating temperature.
Do not obstruct the air vents.
Leave a gap of 70 mm around the air vents.

18
Leave 10 cm free for detector ventilation.
5.3.1 Use positions
The leak detector can be used horizontally: turn the control panel around for easier
reading.
Always check that the product is completely stopped before changing its position.
Position the detector in a way that there is no risk of tilting or shock.
5.3.2 Control panel fixing
Fixing the control panel means it can be locked for when users should not remove it and
possibly separate it from the detector in particular when the detector is being used verti-
cally. This also makes the SD card inaccessible.
The control panel can also be fixed onto any other support thanks to the 2 nuts embed-
ded in the plastic case.
5.3.3 Fixture of the cart
(see 3.3.2)
5.4 Neutral gas purge and inlet vent connection
●In addition to the neutral gas purge, use the "Pollution" function (see 7.3.2).
●Using a neutral gas with a low concentration of tracer gas suppresses the leak detec-
tor's background.
Flow To guarantee best performance, the nitrogen supply must be clean and filtered, with the
following characteristics:
– relative excess pressure: 200 hPa
– flow rate: 5 sccm (if pressure= 1 bar (absolute) at the inlet).
Usage pressure ●0 to 0.3 bar relative (≈ 1.5 to 4.5 psig),
●1.1 to 1.3 bar absolute (≈ 16 to 20 psia)
NOTICE
Tracer gas concentration
When the air purge is used, we recommend performing the leak detection in a ventilated
room.
WARNING
Pressurised circuit
To work safely on the product, the operator must:
Install a manual valve on the nitrogen circuit at a distance of 3 m from the product, so
that the nitrogen supply can be locked.
0870223348_0001_IM_en
Installation

19
If the purge gas pressure is too high, the inlet valve could always be stay closed.
Purge connection Attach the nitrogen pipe to the connector (see 4.3).
●If no purge system is connected, the gas purge is connected to the ambient air and
maintains air flow inside the leak detector.
●The status of the neutral gas purge (open or closed) depends on the firmware. No set-
tings can be changed by the operator.
Inlet vent connection Attach the nitrogen pipe to the connector (see 4.3).
●If no inlet vent system is connected, the inlet vent is connected to the ambient air.
●The status of the air inlet (open or closed) depends on the parameters set by the
op-erator (see 7.4.5).
5.5 Connection to the mains power supply
The leak detector is Class 1 equipment and therefore must be earthed.
5.6 Operating for the first time
Attach the electrical network to the connector using the power cable.
Set the circuit breaker to I.
Set the language, unit, time and date (the operator can modify this at a later time (see
7.7.1)).
Wait for the detector to enter Stand-by mode.
5.6.1 Familiarise yourself with the control panel
Control panel description (see 6.1.1).
Press several times to familiarise yourself with the application screens.
Press several times to see the 2 levels of function keys available.
For each level, press or the control panel function key to access the function.
5.6.2 Become familiar with the detector
