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,

installation, start-up and operation of the UL1000 and UL1000 Fab.

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. Disregardcan 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.

8General Information

iina70e 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

Measuring instrument

Valve

1.1.4 Definiton of Terms

Autoranging

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

The autoranging feature of the UL1000 Fab 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 forevacuum 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.

General Information 9

iina70e 01.fm technical handbook(1408)

Auto zero

Measurement and automatic adaptation to the helium background.

This function determines the internal ZERO level of the unit which is then deducted

from the currently measured leak rate signal. This function is enabled by pressing

the Start key providedthe UL1000 or UL1000 Fab have run at least 20 s in"Standby"

mode or in "Ventilation" mode.

If the before suppressed helium background further decreases and only the display

limit appears, the ZERO-level will be adjusted automatically

The menu allows the user to program the UL1000 and UL1000 Fab according to his

requirements. The menu has a tree architecture.

Default

Status of the UL1000 and UL1000 Fab 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 1x10-6 mbar l/s.

FINE

FINE is the medium measurement mode with inlet pressure between 2 and 0,4 mbar.

Detection limit is 1x10-10 mbar l/s.

ULTRA

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

The minimum detectable leak rate is 5x10-12 mbar l/s.

Foreline pressure

Pressure in the foreline between Turbo pump and scroll pump.

Minimum detectable leak rate

The smallest leak rate the UL1000 and UL1000 Fab is able to detect

(5x10-12 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 UL1000 and UL1000 Fab 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 wether the instrument is free of substances damaging to healths or

wether it is contaminated. If it is contaminated also indicate the nature of the hazard.

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

reproduced in Fig. 1-1.

A maintenance and service contract is recommended.
