STOP Danger
This symbol refers to an immediate hazard, which may result in fatal or serious
injuries (crippling).
Warning
This symbol refers to a possibly hazardous situation, which may result in fatal or
serious injuries.
Caution
This symbol refers to a possibly hazardous situation, which may result in slight
injuries.
This symbol is also used to alert you to the risk of material or environmental
damage.

1.4 Definition of Terms
Autotune / Mass alignment
The Modul1000 adjusts its tuning voltage to determine the optimal voltage for peak
efficiency.
Autoranging
The range of the pre-amplifier is selected automatically. The Autoranging feature of
the Modul1000 covers the entire range or leak rates depending on the selected oper-
ating mode. Vacuum mode or Sniff mode Not only the leak rate signal, but also the
pressure in the test sample (inlet pressure PE) and the fore-vacuum pressure (PV)
are used for control purposes.
Auto zero
Determination and automatic adaptation of the helium background in the Vacuum
mode. Through this function, the internal zero level of the instrument is determined
which is then subtracted from the current leak rate signal. This function is run during
the calibration process or when operating the start push-button, provided the
Modul1000 has been running previously for at least 20 seconds in the Standby or
Vent mode. If the helium background previously suppressed should drop, the zero
level will be adapted automatically.
Fore pressure
Fore pressure between turbo pump and fore pressure pump.
Internal helium background
The existing helium partial pressure in the measurement system. The level of the
internal helium background is measured in the Stand-by mode and subtracted from
the measured signal. (see above: Auto zero)

Operating instructions 1-7
jinb80e1-h Operating Manual(1501)
Minimum detectable leak rate
The smallest leak rate the Modul1000 is able to detect. 
(5x10-12 mbar l/s).
Menu
The menu allows the user to program the Modul1000 according to the requirements.
The menu has a tree structure.
As-delivered condition
The default settings of the Modul1000 are as delivered by the factory.
Standby
The Modul1000 is ready for operation.
MEASURE
MEASURE mode is when the Modul1000 has achieved a pressure better than the
crossover and the unit is sampling the gas load for helium leak rate.
