2 Installation
2.1 Placement
Unpack the PHOENIX L300i immediately after delivery, even if it will be installed
later on.
Examine the shipping container for any external damage. Completely remove the
packaging materials.
Check the PHOENIX L300i is complete (see Chapter 1.2) and carefully examine the
PHOENIX L300i visually.
If any damage is discovered, report it immediately to the forwarding agent and
insurer. If the damaged part has to be replaced, please contact the orders depart-
ment.
Retain the packaging materials in the case of complaints about damage.
2.2 Conforming Utilisation
The PHOENIX L300i is a leak detector for Helium or Hydrogen. This instrument
may be used to detect the location and the size of leaks on objects under test in
two different ways:
when the test sample has been evacuated first and is sprayed with helium on the
outside. It is required that a vacuum connection is provided between the PHOENIX
L300i and the test sample (vacuum mode).
or
when a helium overpressure is provided in the test sample and the test sample is
searched from the outside with a sniffer probe which is attached to the inlet port
(sniffer mode).
The PHOENIX L300i is to be used for leak detection only. It must not be used as a
pumping system (esp. pumping aggressive or humid gases.)
The leak detector is not suitable for
- pumping liquids or gases containing dust or particles
- pumping corrosive or reactive gases
2.3 Ambient Conditions
The permissible ambient temperature is b10°C (50°F) and +40°C (104°F).
The PHOENIX L300i must not be operated in explosive gas atmospheres.
Make sure to avoid dripping water.
Ensure a sufficient air cooling.
2.4 Electrical Connections
2.4.1 Mains Power
Generally the local regulations for electrical connections must be observed.
Before connecting the PHOENIX L300i to the mains you must make sure that the
mains voltage rating of the PHOENIX L300i coincides with the locally available
mains voltage. The instrument must exclusively be connected to a single phase
supply with fuses for installation (Circuit breaker 10A max. according to IEC/EN
60898 with tripping characteristic B).
