LEAKVIEW OPERATION

 

5.3.1 THE TEST PHASE

 

The system will execute the following test phase: 

 

Evacuation

 

1.

 

The system will start evacuating the tank until it reaches the specified 

target vacuum

’.

 

During this stage the 

Test Status

 indicator will display 

EVACUATING

 or 

SLOW

 

EVACUATING

and 

 

a timer will also start counting towards a limit as set in the 

Evacuation

 

Timeout

 parameter. 

 

If for any reason the Vacuum generator does not manage to fully evacuate the tank before the 

Evacuation

 

Timeout

 ends then the system will stop the evacuation process and return to the 

READY

 state.

 

The 

Live

 

Vacuum

 reading is displayed under the 

Target

 

Vacuum

 parameter, this reading will 

increase during the evacuation stage until it closely matches the 

Target

 

Vacuum

 setting .

 

Main test in progress

 

2.

 

Once the target vacuum has been reached , the system will hold the vacuum at that level for the du-

ration set in the 

Test

 

time

 setting and the 

Test Status

 indicator will display 

MAIN TEST IN PRO-

GRESS

.

 

During this phase, If the vacuum level drops below 98% of 

 

the target vacuum level the vacuum 

generator will start and the system will restore the vacuum level by pulse

-

evacuating the test 

chamber.

 

End of test

 

3

.   

At

 

the end of the test time period the system will release the vacuum in the test chamber by allowing 

air to pass back into the chamber, at the same time the 

Test Status

 indicator will display

’ 

VENT-

ING ....PLEASE WAIT

 

 

After the venting is complete, the 

Test Status

 indicator will display 

READY

 and is now ready for 

the next test.

 

5.3.2 RESETTING THE SYSTEM

 

The system can be reset at any time during a test by pressing the 

RESET

 button. When the 

RESET

 

button is activated, the system will abort a test and immediately move on to the 

Venting

 stage, during 

this stage the system will release the vacuum in the tank by allowing air to pass back into the tank , the 

test status indicator will display 

VENTING ....PLEASE WAIT

 

Once the venting process is completed and the pressure in the tank has returned to normal atmospheric 

levels, the 

Test Status

 indicator will display 

READY

 and is now ready for the next test.

 

5.3.3 LEAK DETECTION

 

When the test cycle is being executed the pack should be examined for signs of bubble emission (or 
even failure).

 

It is sometimes the case that a bubble stream is only emitted when the vacuum is

 

increasing. In these cases, particular attention should be paid to observing likely leak 
sites during the 

Evacuation Phase

.
