General Safety Precautions

Notice Indicates special technical requirements that the user must comply with.

The INFICON HLD5000 leak detector has been designed for safe and efficient

operation when used properly and in accordance with this Technical Handbook. It is

the responsibility of the user to carefully read and strictly observe all safety

precautions described in this chapter and throughout this Technical Handbook. The

HLD5000 must only be operated in the proper condition and under the conditions

described in this Technical Handbook. It must be operated and maintained by trained

personal only. Consult local, state, and national agencies regarding specific

requirements and regulations. Adress any further safety, operation and / or

maintenance questions to our nearest office.

Failure to observe the following precautions could result in serious personal

injury:

Warning

Indicates procedures that must be strictly observed to prevent hazards to persons.

Caution

Indicates procedures that must strictly be observed to prevent damage to or

destruction of the HLD5000 leak detector.

Warning

The HLD5000 must not be operated while standing in water or under running or

dripping water. The same applies to all other kinds of liquids.

The HLD5000 should only be used indoors.

Warning

The HLD5000 must not be operated in explosion hazard areas.

Do not use the HLD5000 on hot surfaces.

Warning

Only mains cords having three conductors with a protective ground conductor may

be used. The HLD5000 must never be operated with a disconnected protective

ground conductor.

0-6 General Safety Precautions

kina40e IVZ.fm technical handbook(1007)

Failure to observe the following precautions could result in damage to the

equipment:

Warning

Danger of electric shock.

• Don’t touch live parts with the sniffer tip.

• Test samples need to be disconnected from electricity before leak testing.

Warning

To replace the fuses remove the mains cord first.

Caution

Avoid contact of the HLD5000 with bases, acids or solvents and also avoid

exposure to extreme climatic conditions.

Caution

Before loosening the connecting nut, you must switch off the HLD5000 first. When

exchanging the sniffer tip make sure that no dust or particles of dirt enter into the

opening.

Caution

The HLD5000 will only operate after having connected the sniffer line first.

Caution

Do not place the HLD5000 on hot surfaces.

Caution

During warm-up the sniffer tip must not be inserted in the test leak opening.

Otherwise, the internal calibration will be disabled and an error message will be

displayed.

General Safety Precautions 0-7

kina40e IVZ.fm technical handbook(1007)

Caution

Under all circumstances the intake of liquids which may still be present on the

surface of the test object has to be avoided.

In the case of moist test objects (e.g. condensed water) the use of the water

protection tip is recommended (see Chapter 1.6.6).
