Description of equipment
The Modul1000 is a helium leak detector which has been designed to be installed in
leak test work stations or integrated machines.
Operating Manual
The analysis system with turbo-molecularpump and a complete control unit are integrated in a compact housing. Depending on the set operating mode, the Modul1000
can execute overriding control functions in a leak test system.
Multiple signal and status outputs allow the universal integration in existing or new
system versions.
The operating parameters set by the user are stored in a separate memory module
(I•STICK) which can be withdrawn easily.
All device configurations and the necessary maintenance works can be performed
without opening the device.
To generate the fore-vacuum required for the operation of the turbo-molecular pump,
as well as for evacuation of the connected test sample, a fore-vacuum pump with a
pumping speed of >2 m³/h has to be connected. It must be able to generate a final
pressure of <1x10-2 mbar.

Manual of RC1000).
The measured values can be stored in the internal memory of the RC1000 for a
recorded period of maximum 24 hours. Then the data can easily be transferred to a
USB stick.
An internal trigger can be set to provide a warning if the limit leak rates are exceeded.
An optical warning is shown on the display and an acoustic warning signal is
sounded on the integrated loudspeaker or the connected headphones.
The RC1000 remote control is housed in a robust housing to enable ergonomic working. Magnets on the underside of the unit enable it to be attached to horizontal or vertical metal surfaces.
With the remote control RC1000, the leak test device Modul1000 can also be controlled via a 28 m long cable.

4 Screw in the connecting flange with the sealing.
Notice:
For the sniffer version of the Modul1000, only the pump connections on the
left side or on the bottom side can be used.
The used fore-vacuum pump must meet the following specifications:
•
The connecting hose should have a minimal diameter of 15 mm.
•
The fore-vacuum pump should provide a pumping speed of >2 m³/h
•
and a possible ultimate pressure of <1x10-2 mbar.
If the fore-vacuum pump is equipped with a solenoid gas ballast valve or purge gas
valve, it can be controlled via the valve output V22 of the Modul1000.
The test sample or the test equipment are connected using the DN25 KF inlet flange
on the top of the Modul1000. 
To be able to measure with the leak test device also in case of pressures higher than
0.4 mbar, the metering orifice, which is in the scope of delivery, can be mounted
before the inlet of the leak test device. If the metering orifice is installed in the suction
line of the leak test device, the maximum inlet pressure will be 3 mbar. 
Because the pumping speed is greatly reduced when a metering orifice is inserted,
it will be reasonable to use a partial flow pump for evacuation.
To achieve short signal response times of the Modul1000, the orifice should be
mounted as close as possible to test sample, test equipment.
In Modul1000b, the metering orifice has already been installed and can also measure
until 3 mbar.
The maximum permissible load vertically on the flange is 400 N.

Ventilation
Usually the parts under test are vented with ambient air after the test has been
finished. If it is required, the parts can be vented with an different gas type (i. e. fresh
air, dry air, nitrogen, …) at a pressure of max. 1050 mbar. In these cases, the gas
supply has to be connected to flood connection (8 mm hose connection) on the left
side of the device. The gas pressure on the flood connection may not exceed
1100 mbar (absolute).
It is also possible to connect an additional external ventilating valve to the valve
output V21.
The connection for the sniffer line exists only for the sniffer version of the Modul1000
(catalogue number 550-310). This connection is for the optional sniffer line SL200.

Vacuum
In standard Vacuum mode, the Modul1000 id operated as „Stand Alone“ leak detector.
The unit under test or the vacuum chamber are only evacuated via the inlet flange of
the leak detector. The pumping speed on the inlet of the leak detector depends on
the used fore-vacuum pump and on the conductivity ratios of the device.
If the pressure is lower than 0.4 mbar, the device will switch over to the Measuring
mode and display the measured leak rate.
When measuring, the pumping speed at the inlet is 2.5 l/s.

The effective pumping speed at your chamber is dependent on the integration of the
Modul1000.

Working Modes
Operating Manual
5.2
Partial Flow Mode
To increase the effective pumping speed on the vacuum chamber or the test sample,
an external partial flow valve can be connected to the valve output V20. The
increased pumping speed accelerates the evacuation processes and the signal
response time of the Modul1000.
Depending on the settings, the partial flow pump can optionally be added via an
external partial flow valve only for evacuation or for evacuation during the measurement.
If the partial flow pump is also added during the measurement, the pumping speed
of the partial flow pump for helium has to be considered. In this case, adjust the
machine factor as required (refer to chapter 6.9). Furthermore, an external calibration
is recommended (refer to chapter 6.6).

At the end of the test, the device displays „PASS“ on the control panel provided that
the leak rate did not exceed the set trigger value during the measuring time. If the
trigger value is exceeded, the device will display the message „FAIL“.
Optionally, the test can also be carried out in Partial Flow mode.
After pressing the START button, the whole test runs automatically. When using the
optional test chamber TC1000, the test cycle starts automatically as soon as the
chamber cover is closed.
5.3.1
Auto Leak Test Settings
Select the Auto Leak Test mode via the control panel or the RS232 interface.
The test run can be adapted to your special application of the leak detector. The
corresponding settings can be entered via the control panel or the RS232 interface
(refer to Interface Description).
Measuring time
The measuring time starts as soon as the Modul1000 switches over from the evacuation phase to the Measuring mode. The possible time settings range from 1 second
to 30 minutes.
At the end of the measuring time, the measured value is displayed.
Trigger level
(1501)
If the set trigger level 1 is exceeded at the end of the measurement cycle, the
Modul1000 indicates the message „FAIL“ and hence, it signals a leaky test sample.
Part number
In the software menu, the parts counter can be enabled, which assigns a number to
the individual measurement cycles. On the menu screen "Test report", the last 12
measured results can be displayed with date and test result.
The menu provides a setting, with which a series error message can be displayed
when a certain number of consecutive errors with the "FAIL" result occur. The set
number of consecutive measurements after which the Modul1000 displays a series
error message can vary between 2 and 9. If not required, it can be disabled.

Series error message
To ensure that such an abundance of consecutive „FAIL“- messages is not caused
by the helium background of the test equipment, a reference measurement is recommended.
Operating Manual
Reference measurement
If the ambient helium emitted by the chamber is significant in relation to the target
leak rate, it is possible to perform a reference measurement. 
In the software menu, it is possible to enable a reference measurement. If it is
enabled, it can be called via the Measurement screen.
During the reference measurement, the Modul1000 determines the internal helium
background of the test equipment and then it deducts this values from the values of
following measuring cycles.
The reduce the background of the test equipment in case of a reference measurement, the vacuum system of the device is evacuated and vented for three times.
5.4
Commander mode
If the Modul1000 is integrated in a leak detector system, in Commander mode, it can
control the whole test in the integrated chamber. All necessary valves for filling the
test sample with helium as well as the necessary pressure gauge can directly be
connected to the Modul1000. The test run can only include a device for helium recovery.
jinb80e1-h

Optionally, the test can also be carried out in Partial Flow mode to accelerate the leak
detection.

Design of a leak detector system
Design of a leak detector system with Modul1000- - -Commander function is mainly
the same as that of the conventional integrated leak test system. 
The vacuum chamber is evacuated by the Modul1000, optionally also in partial flow
mode (Fig. 5-1 Partial flow mode). The test sample in the vacuum chamber is
connected to the helium filling station through the chamber walls and is filled with
helium after the chamber has been evacuated.
(1501)
Due to the difference between the helium pressure in the test sample and the
vacuum in the vacuum chamber, the helium of a leaky part flows out of the leak into
the vacuum chamber and into the leak test device where it can be measured as gas
leak.

Helium filling station
The helium filling station consists of a vacuum pump, the valves V30- V34, a pressure gauge and the helium supply unit.
Operating Manual
Valves V30, V31, V32, V33, V34
The test run of the Commander software includes the control of all valves necessary
for the helium filling procedure of the test sample. The valves are controlled via the
„VALVES“ connection.
Notice:
We recommend using pressure activated valves.
Pressure gauge
The test sample is filled with helium and the gross leak test are pressure controlled
and therefore, they need a pressure gauge which has a measuring range of <
50 mbar reaching to the maximum filling pressure of the test sample. The characteristics and the measuring range of the used measuring point can be set on the
Modul1000. The pressure gauge is connected to the „PRESSURE GAUGE“ terminal
on the right side of the device.
Vacuum pump
The vacuum pump evacuates the test sample before it is filled with helium to remove
the air from the part as well as possible. We recommend using a pump with a final
pressure of < 50 mbar.
5.4.2
Test sequence of events
1 The test sample is in the vacuum chamber which is connected to the inlet of
Modul1000. The unit under test is in the vacuum chamber which is connected to the
inlet of Modul1000.
2 After the START signal, the Modul1000 starts evacuating the vacuum chamber. If a
partial flow pump is connected with Modul1000, the partial flow valve V20 (Fig. 5-1)
will be actuated and the test run is accordingly supported by the partial flow pump.
(1501)
3 Before the actual helium test is executed, a gross leak test is carries out, to detect
gross leaks in the test sample or in the leak detector. When a chamber pressure of
100 mbar is reached, it will be checked, whether the pressure of the test sample has
dropped and is lower than the set pressure p_A_ for the gross leak test. If this is the
case, the measuring cycle will be interrupted indicating the error message 91.
4 If the system passes the gross leak test, valve V30 will be opened and the test
sample will be evacuated. If the systems passes the gross leak test, the valve V30
will open and the test sample will be evacuated. Otherwise, the measuring cycle will
be interrupted indicating the error message 92.

5 If the chamber pressure drops within the set time t_F_Readiness_for_measurement
down to the change-over pressure, the device will switch over to Measuring mode.
This change-over pressure can be set in the following menu: 

between 0.2 mbar and 0.4 mbar. 
Depending on the settings in "Background suppression", an automatic background
subtraction will be carried out, if necessary:

provided that the leak rate signal is stable enough to indicate a leak of the set
trigger level 1. If this condition is not complied with within the t_B_zero delay time,
the measuring cycle will be stopped and error message 98 will be generated.
If the chamber pressure is not low enough within the set time
t_F_Readiness_for_measurement to switch over to the measuring mode, the test
procedure will be interrupted indicating the error message 94.

6 After the evacuation of the test sample, the valve V33 is opened and the filling
process of the part with helium can start. If the pressure in the test sample reaches
the set filing pressure p_C_Filling_pressure within the set time t_C_Filling_time, the
valve V33 will be closed again and the filling process will be completed. If the filling
pressure is not reached on time, the measuring cycle will be interrupted indicating
the error message 93.
7 The actual leak test is now started. The measured leak rate is displayed when the
set time t_G_ Measuring_time has expired. If the pressure of the test sample drops
below the pressure p_E_Pressure_drop_threshold during the leak test due to a leak
in the system, the measuring cycle will be interrupted indicating the error message
99.
8 At the end of the measuring time, the valve V32 is opened.
Helium is returned from the test sample to the helium filling facility until the pressure
in the sample has reached the depressurizing pressure
p_D_Depressurizing_pressure. After that, V32 is closed again.
If this does not happen within the set time t_D_Depressurizing _time, the measuring
cycle will be interrupted indicating the error message 95.
9 To remove the residual helium from the test sample, valve V30 opens and the test
sample is evacuated by the pump 4 until the pressure p_B_ Evacuation_pressure is
reached.
This has to be done within the set time t_A_Evacuating _time, otherwise the measuring cycle will be interrupted indicating the error message 96.
10 Valve V30 will be closed. The unit under test is vented to reach atmospheric pressure

Operating Manual
The Modul1000 Sniffer version can be used as vacuum leak detector or as sniffer
leak detector.
To use it as sniffer leak detector, the optimized sniffer line SL200 has to be
connected to „Sniff“ on the right side of the Modul1000. In Measuring mode, the
module draws a constant gas flow through the sniffer line. The helium in the gas flow
is indicated as leak rate.
In Sniff mode, the detection limit is restricted to 1×10-7mbarl/s due to the high atmospheric helium background.
The gas flow rate though the sniffer line is approximately 25 sccm.
It is electrically connected by the "ACCESSORIES“ connector.
The operating mode must be set to "Sniff mode".
In "SNIFF"-mode, the red LED on the sniffer handle indicates a bad test sample and
the green LED indicates a good test sample.

Operating Manual
The Modul1000 can be calibrated in two different ways: For each calibration, calibrate the mass spectrometer to achieve maximum sensitivity (Autotune). 
Depending on the applied test leak, internal or external calibration is required.
For the internal calibration, the test leak integrated in Modul1000 is used.
For the external calibration, a separate test leak is required. External calibrations
have the advantage that they can be carried out under boundary conditions (pressure, measuring time) similar or equal to the later measurements.
If a control unit is connected to the Modul1000, the LEDs in the buttons START,
STOP / VENT and ZERO light up during the calibration.
Notice:
To get an optimized calibration the machine has to warm up for at least 20
minutes before use.
Internal Calibration
If a partial flow pump is used in measuring mode, set the correct machine factor
before the 1st calibration.
The internal calibration is not done in partial flow mode, not even if it is set to „Partial
flow in measuring mode“. It will be corrected via the set machine factor.
Automatic Internal Calibration
After starting the calibration, the whole calibration procedure runs automatically.
(1501)
In this case, the signal transient time of the test leak (CAL-transient time) is used
which can be set in the menu. Before, it must be adjusted to the volume at the inlet.
The CAL-transient time increases depending on the volume enclosed at the inlet.
Manual Internal Calibration
jinb80e1-h
After starting the Calibration, the Modul1000 opens the internal test leak and evacuates the inlet. The signal transient time stretches depending on the connected
volume stretches.
Therefore the user has to confirm that the signal has become constant.
6-9
Operation
External Calibration
The external calibration has the advantage that it considers the application-specific
measuring conditions. The external calibration leak can be connected to the vacuum
chamber.
Operating Manual
Calibration leaks with solenoid valves can be connected to the terminal VALVES at
the back of the device. Then, the Modul1000 automatically controls the valve.
Before the calibration, enter the corresponding value of the calibration leak which
shall be used for calibrating the Modul1000 in the settings of the Modul1000. This
can be done via the optional control unit or the RS232 interface.
The external calibration in the Partial Flow mode is carried out with the setting „Fore
and partial flow pump“ in the item „Measure mode". (see chapter 6.9.6.1)
Automatic External Calibration
The automatic external calibration requires a calibration leak with solenoid valve. 
It is electrically connected via the VALVES connector. 
After starting the automatic external calibration, the Modul1000 runs through the
complete calibration sequence.
In this case, the signal transient time of the test leak (CAL-transient time) is used
which can be set in the menu. Before, it must be adjusted to the volume at the inlet.
The CAL-transient time increases depending on the volume enclosed at the inlet.
Manual external Calibration
In case of the manual external calibration, the test leak has to be opened and closed
manually. 
Also acknowledge the steady-state test leak signal manually. 
The control unit or the control panel guides the user through the calibration routine
via the display.
6.6.2
Calibration in Sniff mode
It only applies for devices with the catalogue No. 550-310 and 550-330.
(1501)
In Sniff mode, calibration is done in the same way as it is done for the external manual calibration in Vacuum mode.
With the optional sniffer line connected to the Modul1000, it is required to measure
a sniffer test leak and a helium background. 
Acknowledge the steady-state test leak signal and the steady-state background
value manually.

There are four different ways of calibration:
•
Internal automatic
•
Internal manual
•
External automatic
•
External manual
For the external calibration, a separate test leak is required, which is mounted on the
chamber.
The calibration procedure is the same as it is for the vacuum mode.
Machine factor
The machine factor takes into account that the Modul1000 is used in parallel with a
pumping system.(partial flow method).
Because in such a system configuration only a part of the leak gas flow reaches the
leak test device and is detected, first. the Modul1000 displays measured values on
the basis of the internal calibration which are smaller due to the partial flow ratio.
(1501)
6.7
To avoid this, the machine factor can be saved in the software menu of the
Modul1000. Then, after an internal calibration, the measured leak rates are displayed
multiplied by the machine factor.
The measurement of an external test leak on a test sample is more accurate when it
is measured with and without an added external pump. The ratio of both results is the
machine factor.
6-11
Operation
jinb80e1-h
The machine factor can be estimated considering the Helium pumping speed of the
Modul1000 and of the external pump.
The machine factor can also be used to correct the leak rate display referred to the
air equivalent.
The machine factor for this correction is:
3.7 x 10-1.

In the menu item "Volume", it is possible to adjust the volume of the alarm signals by
pressing the buttons "" and "" on the left and on the right of the displayed value. In
addition, the volume can also be adjusted during the measurement in the
measurement screen using the keys labelled with a loudspeaker sign.
Operating Manual
Warning
If a minimum sound level is set in the menu item "Volume", it will not be possible to
set a lower sound level in the measurement screen or in the menu item "Loudspeaker".
Beep sound: The "Beep On" or "Beep Off" buttons serve for switching On/Off the
beep sound of the Modul1000. If the beep is switched on, the Modul1000 indicates
certain changes of status by short audio signals.
Units
The units which are measured by the Modul1000 can be altered.
There is the choice of several pressure units, e.g. mbar, Pa, atm and Torr as well as
the leak rate units, e.g. mbar l/s, Pa m3/s, Torr l/s, atm cc/m and atm cc/s.
In Sniff mode, the following additional units are selectable: ppm, g/a, oz/yr.
Alarm delay
To avoid a trigger alarm due to high background levels, e.g. during the evacuation
process, an alarm delay can be set. The alarm delay time will start, after the
Modul1000 has changed from the Evacuation mode to the Measurement mode. Trigger 1 will release only then when the set alarm delay time has expired or the measured leak rate was below the set trigger value for a short time.
The alarm delay can vary between zero and ten minutes. If the set time exceeds 10
minutes, the alarm delay time is automatically set to unlimited.
There are three optional alarm types.
•
Pinpoint: 
The audio signal changes its frequency only within a leak rate window which
reaches from one decade below the trigger threshold 1 to one decade above the
trigger threshold 1. Below this window, the audio signal frequency remains
constantly low and above this range it remains constantly high.

Main Menu  Calibration (CAL) Mode Vacuum
Internal automatic
If the internal automatic calibration method is selected, the Modul1000 will perform
the complete calibration procedure automatically.
In the automatic calibration processes, the Modul1000 runs the following sequences
automatically:
•
The internal test leak is automatically opened, The inlet is evacuated.
•
Measurement of test leak
•
Autotune (Calibration to maximum sensitivity of the mass spectrometer)
•
The internal test leak is automatically closed, the helium background is
measured.
•
The newly determined calibration factor is displayed
Internal manual
If a manual calibration method has been selected, several entries have to be made
during the calibration procedure.
1 Only for the external manual calibration method, the test leak value has to be
entered, when the displayed leak rate does not match with the value of the used test
leak. The internal manual calibration already starts with selecting the calibration
method.
The value of the used test leak can be entered by pressing the "Change leak rate"
button (also refer to chapter "Change values").
After the test leak value has been entered, start the calibration process by pressing
the "Start" button.
(1501)
2 After starting the calibration process, the Modul1000 evacuates the inlet area.
3 As soon as the maximum intake pressure of the Modul1000 has been reached, first,
the Modul1000 displays a varying measuring signal in the shape of a bar display.
After a certain time period, which depends on the volume connected to the inlet, the
display will stabilize.
As soon as the bar displays a constant value, it has to be acknowledged by pressing
"OK".
4 In the next step, the Modul1000 adjusts the mass spectrometer to maximum
sensitivity.
5 Only in case the external manual calibration is required, the Modul1000 will prompt
jinb80e1-h
you to close the external test leak.
As soon as the external test leak has been closed, it has to be acknowledged by
pressing "OK".

Main menu Settings Vacuum settings Machine factor
(1501)
After internal calibration, the machine factor considers the relation between the effective pumping speed of the Modul1000 and of the system pump stand in measuring
mode.
The machine factor takes into account that an additional external pumping system is
used. 
Because internal calibration does not take into account the sharing of helium in
partial flow mode, all measured leak rate would be measured too small. 
The measured leak rates are multiplied with the machine factor and the result is
displayed. This factor is only used for vacuum mode (not for sniff mode). 
The machine factor can be estimated under consideration of both, the helium pumping speed of the Modul1000 and the external pump.
The measurement of an external test leak on a unit under test is more accurate when
it is measured with and without an added external pump. The machine factor is
defined by the difference between the results.
jinb80e1-h
The machine factor can also be used to correct the leak rate display referred to the
air equivalent. The machine factor for this correction is 
3.7 x 10-1. 

Operation
6-28
It can be selected whether the operator is reminded of the fact that a calibration may
has become necessary or not. The default setting is "Off".
Paging Function
If the Modul1000 has a wireless remote control RC1000WL, an audio signal can be
enabled which sounds on the remote control to find it and to identify it.
Operating Manual
If the calibration request is switched on, a corresponding message will appear when
30 minutes have elapsed after power on or if the temperature of the Modul1000 has
changed by more than 5°C since the last calibration.
Contamination protection
If this mode is switched on, the Modul1000 closes all valves as soon as the measured
leak rate exceeds the value limited by the contamination protection. Thus no more
Helium gets into the mass spectrometer. Helium contamination of the leak detector
will be avoided.
Pressure limit for vacuum area
In this menu, the factory-set switching point from evacuation to measurement mode
ULTRA can be programmed. This can be necessary when the Modul1000 shall evacuate other gases than air. The pressure signal of the gas-type-depending Inlet pressure indication (Pirani) can then provide other values to the process control for
switching over. This can be adjusted by changing the switching points.
Default setting: 0.4 mbar (Modul1000) or 3 mbar (Modul1000b)
Pressure limit for Sniff mode
This function is automatically activated in sniff mode. The pressure limits define an
upper and lower limit of the inlet pressure. If the pressure is not in this range, the
following error messages/warnings will be generated:
Fore-vacuum pressure > Maximum pressure: Error message E63 (Capillaries defective)
Fore-vacuum pressure > Minimum pressure: Warning W62 (Gas flow through capillaries too low).
This menu item is used to define when the gross leak message is to occur. The gross
leak detection process operates in two steps and the limits can be adapted as
required. 
This menu item is particularly useful in series testing under the same conditions at
all times.
(1501)
Maximum Evacuation time
On the one hand, the selected periods depend on the desired reaction time for the
gross leak message, and on the other hand, they depend on the volume of the test
sample and the effective pumping speed. 
If the evacuation time was set to endless, the oil level of the rotary vane pump should
be checked more frequently.

The digital valve outputs
Operating Manual
The 16-pin Phönix-connector box is at the back of the device and marked with
"VALVES".
This connector box is used to control external valves.
They can be divided in 2 groups:
1 The pins 13, 14 and 15 are for the connection of a 24 V-valve; maximum
withdrawable current per output 1A. Their common reference point is pin 16 (GND).
2 8 valves can be connected to the contacts 5 to 12. To be more flexible, these
switched outputs are designed to be floating: the user can connect an external direct
voltage source. It must safely be separated from the power supply network and may
apply maximum 30 V.
The 24V-power supply unit of the Modul1000 can be used for supplying the valves.
The valve switches connect to the 24 V-power supply unit on pin 3. Each valve switch
may be loaded with maximum 0.2 A.
Via this pin, the following valves can be controlled by the Modul1000.
Pin

*) If control inputs are connected (e.g. valves with integrated electronic circuitry)
instead of solenoid valves, a resistance of 10 kOhm ± 5 % (0.5 W)has to be shunted.

Analogue Output
The analogue recorder outputs may be used to log the leak rate, the inlet pressure
and the fore-vacuum pressure. The recorder output values are updated every 50 ms.
Both recorder outputs can be set individually for the output of leak rates and pressures. The measured values are provided as an analogue signal in the range of 0 V
… 10 V. The resolution is limited to 10 mV. The instrument which is connected to the
recorder output (e. g. an X(t) recorder) should have an input resistance of > 2.5
kOhm. The test voltages are applied to pins 1 and 4. The reference potential (GND)
is connected to the pins 2 and 3. The pins are numbered consecutively from the left
to the right side.
Operating Manual
The 4-pin Phönix-connector box is located at the back of the device and is marked
with "RECORDER".
