Measuring time
You can overwrite the measurement time automatically selected by the device. A
longer measurement time provides a more accurate result, a shorter measurement
time provides a less accurate result.
The measurement time should not be shorter than half of the time automatically set by
the device.
► In the main menu, select “Settings > Measurement settings > Set times >
Measurement time”.
A further menu command resets to the automatically set measurement time:
► In the main menu, select “Settings > Measurement settings > Set times > Set times
automatically”.
Volume (accumulation
measurement only)
Enter the net volume of the measurement chamber (volume of the measurement
chamber minus the volume of the test object).
► In the main menu, select “Settings > Measurement settings > Accumulation
volume”.
The setting range is 0.01… 10000 liter
To determine the volume, you can carry out the device volume test, see Basic settings
Carrier gas flow (carrier
gas measurement only)
Enter the carrier gas flow.
► In the main menu, select “Settings > Measurement settings > Carrier gas flow”.
The setting range is 60 sccm… 1,000,000 sccm
To determine the carrier gas flow, you can carry out the device flow test, see Basic
Measuring in a nitrogen
environment
For the highest measurement sensitivity, the measurement must be carried out in a
helium- free environment. This is possible when measuring in a nitrogen-filled
chamber.
So that the T-Guard2 does not interpret the complete absence of helium as a
malfunction, you need to switch off the corresponding monitoring (minimum current
test):
► In the main menu, select “Settings > Monitoring > Without He (N2)”.
