4 Description
4.1 Function
The device is a leak detector and can be used for non-destructive testing of food
packaging containing gas for leaks. The type of gas does not matter for the
measurement.
Measuring principle
You place the test objects between the two elastic membranes of the foil chamber. By
pumping air from the foil chamber a pressure gradient is created between the test
object and the foil chamber. Due to this pressure gradient, gas flows through any
leakage from the test object in the foil chamber increasing the pressure there. This
pressure rise allows the device to calculate the leak rate of the test object.
Gross leak detection
If there is a gross leak (e.g. torn packaging, non-welded seam), the gas contained in
the test object may be completely pumped out by the device. After pumping all the air
there will be no pressure rise within the foil chamber so that a test object will be shown
to be leak-proof without any gross leak detection.
For reliable detection of gross leaks, you can activate the gross leak detection. If the
observed volume does not reach a product-specific value, the message "Gross leak"
appears.

WARNING
Danger from moisture and electricity
Moisture entering the device can lead to personal injury due to electric shocks as well
as damage to property due to short circuiting.
► Only operate the device in a dry environment.
► Operate the device away from sources of liquid and moisture.
CAUTION
Risk of injury from lifting or tilting the heavy devices
The basic unit weighs 28 kg, the measuring chamber 33 kg. These devices can slip
out of the hand and cause injuries when being lifted or transported.
► Lift and transport the devices only with persons who are physically able to do so.
► Lift and transport each device at least in pairs.
NOTICE
Material damage due to overheated basic unit
The basic unit heats up during operation and can overheat without sufficient
ventilation.
► Please note the technical specifications.
► Ensure sufficient ventilation, especially on the ventilation slots on the left and right
of the device: There should be free space in the front, to the rear and sides of the
unit of at least 10 cm.
► Keep heat sources away from the device.
üIn order not to distort the measurement results, select a location where the room
temperature for the basic unit and the measuring chamber is as constant as
possible.
üDo not expose the basic unit and measuring chamber to direct sunlight.
üTo easily reach the power switch on the back of the basic unit, ensure there is
sufficient free space behind the device.

5 | Installation INFICON
20 / 76 Contura® S600-Operating-instructions-jina92en1-04-(2302)
1In order to be able to operate the measuring chamber while standing without
great effort, provide for an installation area at a height of approx. 590 mm
above the floor.
2Place the basic unit and the measuring chamber on a firm and level surface
with the feet.
ðThis also prevents the exhaust air openings on the underside of the unit from
being blocked.
3In order to increase the stability of the chamber, compensate for possible
differences in level by turning the screwed device feet.
4Position the basic unit and measuring chamber next to each other as desired.
In order to prevent overheating, ensure that there is a minimum distance of 10
cm.
5Establish the connections between the basic unit and the measuring chamber,
see “Design of device [}21]“.
ðOnly use the enclosed hoses for this purpose. If other hoses are used, the
tightness of the connections is not guaranteed. In addition, the measuring
procedure may be impaired.
6To tighten the handle of the measuring chamber, first screw the two mounting
bolts hand-tight into the threaded holes on the front side of the upper
measuring chamber.
7Place the handle on the mounting bolts on the front side of the upper
measuring chamber and fasten it with two threaded pins.
