Helium Mass Spectrometer: VIC Leak Detection .

Finding Leaks Slowing You Down?

The MD-490S is a leader among portable helium leak detectors.  With a response time less than 0.5 seconds, sensitivity to 10 -8 direct reading Atm-cc/sec, and the ability to zero-out background, this is the most aggressive portable leak detector in the industry with advanced features designed specifically for industrial use.

Check out these features:

• NEW Vibra-Leak™ Probe (patent pending) with background suppression button provides tactile feedback when leak rate exceeds the reject set point; ideally suited for noisy environments where audio alarms cannot be heard or where leak detectors are in close proximity; Vibra-Leak™ Probe solves background helium problems during the test.
• NEW Helium background suppression ; With a push of a button, the MD-490S eliminates the background.
• NEW Most sensitive sniffer available with a 10 -8 sensing capabilities through enhanced helium collector design and signal processing.
• Fully interactive system diagnostics include critical parameters such as run times, operating voltages/currents and pressures.
• Graphical and numerical displays of leak rate values.
• Sealed membrane keypad for long life in harsh environments.
• Fully automatic calibration sequence with built-in 10 -5 ATM-cc/sec gas leak prompts operator to insert probe into the built-in leak and adjusts the machine's leak rate reading to match the leak value; The built-in calibrated leak is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology and is provided with certification.
• Dry (oil-free) vacuum pumping minimizes maintenance and potential oil contamination problems.
• Probe blockage alarm ensures proper system performance.
• Front panel key lock-out prevents unauthorized users.
• High output (110db Adjustable audio alarm.
• Alphanumeric Prompting Display (multilingual): The MD-490S is fully interactive; It is the only portable helium leak detector that keeps you continuously informed of the process with a multilingual alphanumeric prompting display that uses words rather than icons for more accurate communication.
• Built-in Calibrated Gas Leak is accessible through side panel door;  The calibrated gas leak is designed to allow direct reading of leak rates in atmospheric conditions.

Specifications:

• Sensitivity- Smallest detectable helium leak rate 5 x 10 - 8 ATM-cc/sec. helium (Atmospheric sniffer mode).
• Response Time- Approximately 0.5 seconds.
• Leak Rate Range- 10 -3 to 10 - 8 ATM-cc/sec. direct reading of helium leak rate (compensated for atmospheric sampling).
• Start-up Time- Less than 3 minutes, one button automatic operation.

Electricals

• Console-Microprocessor based electronics, incorporating 40 character alphanumeric prompting display.  Fully automatic operation including start-up, shutdown, leak rate ranging, automatic zero and diagnostics including operating and runtime parameters.  Contains 40 segment leak rate indicator and operator function buttons.
