Applications
Industrial Process Tools
VS Series Leak Detectors can help rid your process tool of costly and inefficient leaks. Robust system
features assure reliable operation in the most challenging industrial environments. Superior pumping
characteristics such as high inlet pressure tolerance and split flow capability deliver fast response and
clean-up times. Wireless remote control enables single-person leak testing of even the largest systems.

Research and university labs often require a portable leak detector with the versatility to cover a wide
range of applications. The ability to be easily moved from lab to lab, in conjunction with high perform-
ance specifications in both the evacuation and pressurized mode, make the VS Series an essential tool
for this environment.

High Energy Physics
High sensitivity, large roughing capacity and portability are essential for leak testing
accelerators and beam lines. These instruments provide excellent mass separation that
differentiates the smallest helium leaks from residual water vapor and hydrogen, and
are available with large, dry roughing pumps to evacuate large volumes, or smaller
internal pumps when used with turbo pumping systems. Wireless remote control with
an operating range of 100 meters (328 feet) enables a single operator to check
potential leak sites without a cord of any kind.

Power Generation
Leaks within power plant condensers can cause a significant loss of efficiency. High inlet pressure tolerance,
auto-zero function, and the mobility of the two-wheel cart option simplify the leak detection process.
Simple, intuitive operation allows intermittent use without excessive training requirements. Wireless remote
control with an operating range of 100 meters (328 feet) provides true hand-held portability, enabling leak
testing by a single operator.

Small Parts Manufacturing
VS Series Leak Detectors employ high inlet pumping speed and high inlet pressure tolerance to
minimize test cycle time, thereby maximizing production throughput. Programmable test sequences
simplify daily operation, minimize operator error, and maximize your production efficiency.
Optional “Leak Test Data Wizard” software can be used to collect data for quality control purposes and
even automate test cycles.

Semiconductor Production
VS Series Leak Detectors combine high sensitivity and large, dry rough pumping capacity to meet the
testing needs of semiconductor processing equipment and gas handling systems. With the high inlet
pressure tolerance and fast clean up and response times, these units excel at locating leaks in both
evacuated and pressurized systems. A clean room technician can use the hand-held wireless remote
control while the leak detector remains installed in a less critical area.
