Leak Test Confirmation

 

 

With the dispenser authorized, the turbine will start running. Again, note that with the selector 
in the 

GPH

 

T

EST

 

position a 3 GPH leak has been introduced to the system. Watch the right-hand 

pressure gauge as the turbine builds pressure. The pressure should build to the value noted in 
Step 10. 

TECHNICAL NOTE

 — If the pressure indicated on the right-hand pressure gauge does not 

stabilize at the lower pressure, but rather steps through to the higher normal operating value, 
the leak detector has failed the leak test. Contact the factory for calibration information. 

 

Turn the selector to the

 P

RESSURE 

S

TEP 

T

EST

 

position. Following a short delay, the pressure should 

step up to the value noted in Step 8. This is the indication that the mechanical leak detector has 
properly transferred from its leak test position to its full flow position. 

13.

 

Auto-Repressure Test

 

 

Remove the dispenser authorization. With the large beaker under the discharge hose, set the 
selector to the 

D

ISPENSER 

N

OZZLE

 

position. Fuel will flow into the beaker. After the reading on 

the right-hand pressure gauge falls to zero, set the selector to the

 P

RESSURE 

S

TEP 

T

EST

 

position.

 

14.

 Set  the  ARM-4073  power  switch  to  the  O

N

  position  (refer  to  Power  On-Off  Switch).  The 

turbine  will  start  running.  Immediately  return  to  the  dispenser.  On  the  right-hand  pressure 
gauge of the LDT-890, verify that normal operating has been achieved. Set the selector on the 
LDT-890 to the

 GPH

 

T

EST

 

position. This will introduce a 3 GPH leak to the system. 

Because 

the  leak  detector  has  already  stepped  through  to  its  fully  open  position,  nothing  will 
change.

 This leak must be introduced to the system before the 30 second (or 70 second) pump 

timer has completed its timing cycle. 

15.

 At the end of the pump timing cycle, the ARM-4073 will automatically turn off the turbine. 

On the right-hand pressure gauge of the LDT-890, verify that the pressure falls due to the 3 
GPH leak. If the proper delay timer has been selected from Table 2, the pressure should fall to 
zero before the next automatic pump cycle is started. 

16. 

At the end of the delay timing cycle, the ARM-4073 will automatically turn on the turbine. 
Pressure will begin to build but will stop at the value observed in Step 10 indicating that the 
leak detector has found the 3 GPH leak. This successfully completes the ARM-4073 test. 

17.

 

Disconnect LDT-890 Test Unit

 

 

Turn off the appropriate power breaker. Turn off the ARM-4073 power switch. 

18.

 With  the  large  beaker  under  the  LDT-890  discharge  hose,  set  the  selector  to  the

  D

ISPENSER 

N

OZZLE

 

position and bleed off fuel until the reading on the right-hand pressure gauge is zero. 

19.

 Disconnect the quick disconnect coupler attaching the test unit to the whip hose. 

20.

 Remove the whip hose from the test port and install the original plug. The application of thread 

sealing compound to the plug is recommended.
