Preface
About This Guide Welcome to the Labthink PARAM® MFY-01 Leak Tester system. This
manual contains a description of the operation and maintenance of
your Leak Tester.

Safety Precautions Observe the following safety precautions when you operate or perform
service on the MFY-01 Leak Tester:

Please see the instrument nameplate for power supply and it should be
well grounded. This instrument SHOULD NOT be operated with other
high-power electrical appliances.
This instrument SHOULD NOT be operated in intensely corrosive,
combustible, explosive, or similar environment, or under intensive
vibration or strong electromagnetic interference.

Disassembly of the instrument or modification of the system without

authorization is strictly PROHIBITED.

Please perform operation only according to this instruction manual.

Users who are unable to comply with this manual take full responsibility
for any accidents and damages.

Operating personnel should be present during the test process.

Check the filter at the gas inlet side. Remove the filtered water if any.

Clean the vacuum chamber and the filter to avoid plugging

Replace water in the vacuum chamber to keep it clear.

The compressed gas should be clean and without any visible liquid
drop or solid substances which may cause damage to the instrument.

DO NOT wipe up the vacuum chamber with organic solvent.

1. Introduction
MFY-01 Leak Tester is professionally designed for the leakage tests of packages for food, drugs,
medical instruments, daily chemical products, cars, electronic components, stationeries and
other industrial products. The instrument also can be used to test seal performance of
specimens after falling and compression tests.

Standards
This test instrument conforms to the standards: GB/T 15171, ASTM D3078

Specifications
Items Specifications
Vacuum Degree 0 ~ -90 KPa
Accuracy 1% FS
Φ270 mm x 210 mm (H) (standard)
Vacuum Chamber Effective Φ360 mm x 585 mm (H) (optional)
Sizes Φ460 mm x 330 mm (H) (optional)
Note: customization is available for other sizes
Air Source Pressure 0.7 MPa (outside of supply scope)
Port Size Ф6 mm PU Tubing
Instrument Dimension 300 mm (L) x 380 mm (W) x 450 mm (H)
Power Supply See instrument nameplate
Net Weight 12 kg

Principles
Firstly submerge the specimen in the water within the vacuum chamber, and then evacuate the
vacuum chamber to form differential pressure between the inside and outside of specimen. The
leakage property could be obtained by observing the steady progression of bubbles from the
specimen and how the specimen expands and restores to its original shape after vacuum
release.

Remove the 2 pcs ofФ6 PU tubing (100mm) installed at the connector of pressure regulator.

Connect the power cord to the instrument and plug in the power supply.

Instrument System
Note: all function keys should not be pressed for more than 1 second; otherwise, system may
fail. If it happens, please contact Labthink for technical support.

1. At evacuating status, LED displays a constant number, generally, 00.

2. Press “ ” key and LED displays “P_1” while the number “XXXX” blinks. Employ

“ / “ key to set up the lower limit of vacuum degree, which should be 1 kPa lower than
desired value.

3. Press “ ” key and LED displays “P_2” while the number “XXXX” blinks. Employ

““ / “ key to set up the desired value of vacuum degree.

3. Operation

Procedures
1. Hook up the gas supply.
2. Turn on the instrument.
3. Set up test parameters, including vacuum degree and maintaining time at a specific vacuum
degree. Press “STOP” key to confirm.
4. Open the hood of vacuum chamber and load test specimen.
5. Place the hood back and seal the chamber.
6. Press “TEST” key to initiate test. The system automatically evacuates the chamber until it
reaches the preset vacuum degree, and this status is maintained for the preset time period.
7. When test is done, system automatically “reverses” the chamber and injects air to the
atmospheric pressure. If the test is terminated by “REVERSE” key, press “STOP” key to
manually “reverse” the chamber.
8. Open the hood and unload the test specimen.
9. Repeat the above procedures to test the next specimen if necessary.
10. When all finished, turn off the instrument and power supply.

An Example
Test requirement: vacuum degree— -60 kPa; maintaining time—10 min.

 Load test package

Add a specific amount of water to the vacuum chamber where the water level is about 10
mm above the porous plate (see Appendix). Place the test specimen into the chamber and
seal the chamber with the hood.

 Set up parameters

Vacuum degree:

Press “ ” key P_1 XXX.XX

10
 Leak Tes te r

Employ “ / “ key to set P_1 to -59

Press “ ” key P_2 XXX.XX

Employ “ / “ key to set P_2 to -60

Press “ ” key to display “00”, which does not blink.

Maintaining time:
Press “SETUP” key at standby mode

The number on the left of “-- --“ blinks in LED

Employ ““+/-“ key to set to 10.0

Press “STOP” and LED displays 10.0——0600

 Start the test

Press “TEST” key

Vacuum degree changes from 00 to -60

The vacuum valve is closed and vacuum degree is maintained

The number “600” (s) on the right side of LED decreases

When “0” (s) is reached, system enters “reverse” mode

Vacuum chamber returns to the atmospheric pressure

Press “STOP” key to cease “reversing” and enters standby mode

Remove the test specimen and load a new one

Repeat the above procedures to perform a new test.

Note: if test specimen fails before the desired vacuum degree or the preset maintaining
time is reached, users need to press “STOP” key to terminate test and “REVERSE” key
to re-inject the vacuum chamber. Once “00” is reached, press “STOP” key again to enter
standby mode
