Calibrate the leak detector

7.1   Introduction

The leak detector is the instrument and the probe together.

This section of the operating manual consists of step by step examples on how to 
calibrate the detector in the most common cases. For more about the calibration 
routine, see the reference section.

The instrument must be calibrated by using the integrated calibration function to 
make sure it displays the correct values in Measuring Mode. After calibration, the 
instrument will show the correct measured values on the display in 

Measuring Mode 

and in Combined Mode

. The calibration parameters will be stored in the probe.

7.2   Calibration Leak or Calibration Gas

There is a possibility to calibrate the detector by using Calibration Gas or a 
Calibration Leak. 

A Calibration Gas contains a well-defined concentration of Hydrogen gas mixed 
with air. A Certificate will normally follow the gas bottles. Calibration Gas can be 
ordered from local gas suppliers. 

A Calibration Leak is a well–defined gas leak. The Calibration Leak should be fed by 
the same gas used in the detection test and with a gas pressure defined in the 
Calibration Leak certificate. Calibration Leak can be ordered from the detector 
provider. 

Choose a calibration leak or calibration gas size, as follows:

•

Same or higher than the Reject Level (but maximum 10 times higher)

•

In one of the following ranges: 

5 to 400 ppm H

2

1x10

-5

 to 4x10

-3

 cc/s (mbarl/s) defined for air

3 to 120 g/yr defined for R134a

Please contact the provider of the detector for help to select optimal calibration 
reference for your application.

7.3   Unit Conversion

When using flow units (other than “ppm” and “custom”), the instrument 
automatically converts between the calibration unit and the measurement unit. The 
conversion is saved in the 

Correlation value

 and is updated when 

Calibration Unit

 or 

Measuring Unit

 is changed. 

Leak Gas

 and 

Displayed Gas

 will not change 

Correlation 

Value

, but will have effect on the measured figures.

If “ppm” or custom unit is chosen (

Measuring

 or 

Calibration Unit

), the 

Correlation 

Value 

must be set by operator. To set 

Correlation Value

 go to menu 

General 

Settings

.

Correlation Value

 can be modified even otherwise.
