Sheet #604u Units function

UNITS FUNCTION
This function allows the operator to choose the pressure and leak measurement units.
The different unit systems are: SI (International metric system, mm3/s, cm3/s, cm3/min, cm3/h,
ml/s, ml/min and ml/h) USA/SAE (Anglo-Saxon unit system, inch3/s, inch3/min, inch3/h, ft3/s,
ft3/min and ft3/h) and CUSTOM measurement units.
If a custom measurement unit is used, it is possible to name it. This name will appear instead of
the unit.
Activate the function or check if it checked.
Press the

key, the cursor slide to the

right hand.

By using the

arrows, select
the units system.
SI:

SI Units System (Metric International System,

mm3/s, cm3/s, cm3/min, cm3/h, ml/s, ml/min
and ml/h).
Select the leak unit.
Then validate by pressing

SAE:
SAE Units System (Anglo-Saxons Units,
inch3/s, inch3/min, inch3/h, ft3/s, ft3/min and
ft3/h).
Then validate by pressing

CUSTOM:
CUSTOM personalized measurement units.
The CUSTOM unit option allows calibrating
the device using a master leak. A learning
special cycle is necessary for this operation
(see the special cycles sheet). The activation
of this unit gives access to another special
cycle for checking.
Then validate by pressing

Select Cal-Pa or Cal-Pa/s.
"Drift Unit": tolerance limit for the calibration
drift. Checked using the "CAL Check" special
cycle. If this value is exceeded, an alarm is
triggered (default value: 20%).
"NAME": Naming of the unit.

.1 SPECIAL CYCLES

..1 CUSTOM UNIT LEARNING

If the 4 units of flow are not appropriate for the application, it is possible to use a custom unit
mode (manual). To do this, a learning cycle must be carried out so that a custom unit value will
correspond to a pressure drop.
To access this special cycle, select the unit Cal-Pa or Cal-Pa/s as a FAIL unit when creating a
program.
Then the special learning cycle must be carried out.
The first custom unit learning cycle must be carried out using the specials cycles menu so that a
leak rate target which is different to zero can be entered.
On these outputs we have:
"Pass" and "end of cycle" if the target is lower than or equal to the FAIL reject level,
"Fail" and "end of cycle" if the target is greater than the test FAIL level.
From the main menu, enter the special cycle
menu.

In the special cycle menu, select the

"Custom unit learn" cycle.

Adjust the parameters, select "CONFIRM" and

press

The cycle screen is displayed confirming the

special cycle selection. Press the
"START CYCLE"

key.

At the end of the special cycle, the result must

be pass (OK).

..2 CUSTOM UNIT CHECK
This special cycle is used to verify calibration in custom unit mode (Please refer to the
explanation in the previous paragraph for more information). The Custom "unit check" cycle
measures whether the calibration has drifted beyond the limits set as a percentage. If these
have been exceeded, an alarm will be triggered and a "custom unit learn" cycle or an
instrument check will be required.
If the opposite is the case the "Pass" and "end of cycle" or "Fail" and "end of cycle" Fail level.

The cycle screen is displayed confirming the

special cycle selection. Press the
"START CYCLE"

key.

At the end of the special cycle, the result must

be pass (OK).

..3 CUSTOM UNIT CHECK + CUSTOM UNIT LEARN

This special cycle enables the checking of learning in the custom unit mode (Please refer to the
previous paragraphs for more information). The checking cycle measures the drift in relation to
the imposed percentage limits. If the limits are not exceeded, a Custom Unit learn cycle will be
carried out automatically to refresh the value learnt.
If the percentage limit is exceeded, the instrument will display a Custom Unit drift error.

The cycle screen is displayed confirming the

special cycle selection. Press the
"START CYCLE"

key.

At the end of the special cycle, the result must

be pass (OK).
