5 Installation
5.1 Detector installation
NOTICE
Leak detector ventilation
In cases of poor ventilation, there is a risk of deterioration of the detector’s internal components by
heating.
►Comply with the ambient operating temperature.
►Do not obstruct the ventilation grids.
►Ventilation grids should be cleaned regularly.
►Leave a free space of at least 10 cm all around the leak detector.
►Store nothing under the detector.
WARNING
Movement risk
The detector is equipped with wheels to facilitate its movement.
The detector must be immobilized when it is being used or maintained.
►Put the brakes on the rear wheels.
●The inlet pressure must be no higher than atmospheric pressure. Pressure that is too high can
damage the detector.
●The detector's performance depends on the type of accessories used and on the quality of the
mechanical connections.
●Comply with these recommendations to optimize measurement (see chapter “Prerequisites for op-
timizing use”).
●The total weight of the parts, accessories, etc. placed on the detector work surface must not ex-
ceed 50 kg.
►Choose the location for set up according to the dimensions of the detector (see chapter “Dimen-
sions”).
►Handle the detector using the handling device (see chapter “Handling”).
►The leak detector must be installed on a horizontal flat surface resting on its wheels.
►Make sure that the test area is not polluted by the tracer gas (ventilated room).
►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, pipes, valves, etc.).
►When assembling the vacuum circuit, use accessories to shut off the product and make mainte-
nance easier (inlet shut off valves, purge systems, etc.).
5.2 Control panel attachment
The control panel is magnetized so you can place it on any metallic surface.
5.3 Hose holder attachment
The DN 40 ISO-KF hose holder (delivered without centering ring, o-ring, and clamp) is used to affix the
hose connecting the inlet of the detector to the installation to be tested, during handling or extended
storage, and to keep the detector inlet and the hose under vacuum.
The hose holder is attached on one of 2 inserts provided for this purpose.
