SMART CHARGE II MANUAL - INDUSTRIAL LEAK DETECTION DIVISION

1.4 Basic Operation

Complete setup of the system is possible through the Operator Interface. See the Operator Interface section of this
manual for details of menu structure.

The System Can Be Tested Using Three (3) Different Operating Modes As Follows

1. AUTOMATIC (AUTO) MODE

2. MANUAL (MAN) MODE
3. MANUAL STEP MODE.

The Automatic and Manual modes are selected by toggling the MAN function key. When the Automatic mode is
selected, the function key LED will be off. When toggled to the Manual mode, the LED will illuminate solid. The
Automatic mode is used to enable the complete automated test cycle using all programmed timer and setpoint
values. The Manual mode is used to enable the manually controlled cycle.

The Manual Step mode is used to enable the system diagnostic routine. This routine is used to verify proper
operation of individual system components. The Manual Step mode can be enabled through the Diagnostic screen
#3 from either Automatic or Manual modes. Again, there are NO watchdog timers enabled, leak or vacuum decay
tests performed in this mode. The only active programmable functions are the pressure setpoints above atmospheric
pressure. This mode allows the operator to sequence all system valves for the purpose of troubleshooting.

1. READY TO CYCLE
2. VENT BEFORE EVACUATION
3. EVACUATION with VACUUM DECAY (PRESSURE RISE) TEST
4. HELIUM CHARGE
