L300 AND PROCAL
CALIBRATION SYSTEM
(PROBE + PROBE PUMP + LONG HOSES)
Ref: CD02.02.06 Issue 21300 Operation Procedure
(PROBE + PROBE PUMP + LONG HOSES)
Run up Procedure
fi
ea
Connect leak detection package as shown in Fig 1.
Connect mains lead to Procal, L300 and Rotary Vacuum Pump
and turn on.
The L300 will take approximately 5 minutes to run up to
standby mode
(a beep will be heard and standby will be displayed). Fig 2.
Press the Start button on the L300 control panel.
The L300 will enter test mode and the display will show the
leak rate and the leak rate unit. Fig 3
The leak detection package is now operational and ready for
calibration.
Calibration Procedure
1
v
Insert the probe into the quick release connection on the front of
the Procal, the flowrate of the probe should be set to
approximately 1200ce/min for optimum performance. Fig 4.
Partially inflate the sample bladder with you calibration gas (1%
He 99% N? recommended).
Connect the sample bladder to the sample bladder inlet.
Open the valve fully on the front of the Procal (this allows a
large helium signal to purge through the Procal) when the L300
reaches a peak signal, back the valve off to read 95-100 seffyr.
Fig 4.
Allow the reading on the L300 to settle, if the leak rate
displayed is the same as shown on the Procal then recalibration
is not necessary.
Ref: CD02.02.06 Issue 2Remove the probe from the Procal and allow the reading to
settle at its lowest point. This reading is the background signal,
press the zero button on the L300 control panel to ‘zero’ out
this background reading.
If the reading on the L300 does not equal the reading on the
Procal then calibration is required.
Reinsert the probe into the Procal and set the valve to read 100
seffyr.
Press the eal button on the L300. Fig 5.
The display will read ‘please select desired calibration type’ Fig
6. select external to move to the next stage.
Select ‘edit leak rate’ to set the leak rate to 1.0E+2, before
pressing OK ensure that the Procal is still reading 100scf/yr. Fig
7.
Press start button on display (NOT main start/stop button).
The display will read ‘Please press OK if signal stable’. Fig 8.
Ensure reading on control panel is stable then press OK.
The L300 will now autotune. Fig 9.
When ‘sniff air’ is displayed Fig 10, remove the probe from the
Procal and press OK.
The display will read ‘please press ok if signal is stable’ Fig 11.
When the leak rate on the control panel displayed has reached
its lowest point then press OK again to complete calibration.
Press the zero button to zero out any background signal.
Fig 13.
Reinsert the probe into the Procal and check calibration, if
calibration is correct then remove probe from the Procal, leak
detection system is now ready for use. If the leak rate is not
correct then repeat the calibration procedure.
