6General Information

1 General Information

Notice: We recommend that you carefully read this technical handbook to ensure

optimum operating conditions right from the start.

This technical handbook contains important informations on the functions, instal-

lation, start-up and operation of the UL5000.

General

We reserve the right to modify the design and the specified data. The illustrations are

not binding.

1.1 Notes on the Use of this Handbook

1.1.1 Safety Symbols

Important remarks concerning operational safety and protection are emphasised as

follows:

Caution

Information on correct handling or use. Disregard can lead to malfunctions or minor

equipment damage.

Warning

Information on preventing extensive equipment and environmental damage.

STOP Danger

Information on preventing any kind of physical injury.

Skilled personnel

Indicates procedures that must be performed by skilled personnel only.

General Information 7

iina74e 01.fm technical handbook(1408)

1.1.2 Indications

Tipp Information on helpful procedures.

Notice: Information on special technical requirements that the user must comply

with.

The references to diagrams consists of the Chapter number, figure number and the

item number in this order. For example: Fig. 2-4/7 refers to item 7 in the figure 4 of

Chapter 2.

1.1.3 Symbols of Vacuum Technology

Given in the following are some important vacuum symbols which are used in this

manual.

Vacuum pump in general

Turbomolecular pump

Pressure gauge

Valve

1.1.4 Definition of Terms

Autoranging

The range of the preamplifier and the vacuum ranges are selected automatically.

The autoranging feature of the UL5000 covers the entire range or leak rates

depending on the selected operating mode. Not only the leak rate signal, but also the

pressure in the test sample (inlet pressure P1) and the fore vacuum pressure (P2)

are used for control purposes. Range switching between the main ranges is

performed via valves. Fine range switching within the main ranges is implemented

by switching over the gain factor of the preamplifier.

Autotune Mass alignment

This function automatically aligns the mass spectrometer so that a maximum leak

rate is displayed. The control processor changes the voltage which erates the ions

in the selected mass range until a maximum ion current is detected by the ion

detector. During each calibration the mass alignment is run automatically.

8General Information

iina74e 01.fm technical handbook(1408)

Auto zero

Determination and automatic adaptation of the helium background.

Through this function, the internal zero level of the instrument is determined which is

then subtracted from the current leak rate signal. This function is run during the cali-

bration process or when operating the start pushbutton, provided the UL5000 has

been running previously for at least 20 seconds in the standby or vent mode. If the

helium background previously suppressedshould dropso that for the duration of the

zero time only the display limit will be displayed, the zero level is adapted automati-

cally.

Themenu allowsthe usertoprogramthe UL5000 according to his requirements.The

menu has a tree architecture.

Default

Status of the UL5000 when supplied by the factory.

GROSS

GROSS is a measurement mode which allows high inlet pressure (1 to 15 mbar).

The smallest detectable leak rate is 1×10-6 mbar l/s.

FINE

FINEisthemediummeasurementmodewithinletpressurebetween2and0,4 mbar.

Detection limit is 1×10-10 mbar l/s.

ULTRA

ULTRA is the most sensitive measuring range with inlet pressures below 0,4 mbar.

The minimum detectable leak rate is < 5×10-12 mbar l/s.

Foreline pressure

Pressure in the foreline between Turbo pump and scroll pump.

Minimum detectable leak rate

The smallest leak rate the UL5000 is able to detect (5E-12 mbar l/s).

Internal helium background

The existing helium partial pressure in the measurement system. The level of the

internal helium background is measured in the Stand-by mode and subtracted from

the measured signal.

Measure Measurement mode

The UL5000 measures the leak rate of the test sample.

1.2 Support from INFICON Service

If an instrument is returned to INFICON or an authorised representative of INFICON,

please indicate whether the instrument is free of substances damaging to health or

whether it is contaminated.Ifitiscontaminatedalsoindicatethenatureofthehazard.

INFICON must return any appliances without a Declaration of Contamination to the

sender’s address. A form for stating details as to the type of contamination is repro-

duced in Fig. 1-1.

A maintenance and service contract is recommended.
