The T-Guard™ Leak Detection Sensor can be used in each orientation. You can
unscrew the rubber feet and use these holes to fasten the main unit.
Please only remove the plugs when you connect the hoses to the T-Guard™. At the
time of delivery, the T-Guard is filled with helium-free nitrogen. This avoids helium to
penetrate into the sensor.
The T-Guard™ Leak Detection Sensor must be installed near the test chamber,
since the standard measuring line is only 50 cm long (measuring line 2m length see
).
Notice
Changing the length or inner diameter of the test line affects the
measurement speed and results.
Notice
Apply grease to the outside of the ends of the green measurement lines in
a thin film to be able to slide them into the connections until they snap in.
Otherwise it can happen that they are not deep enough in the connector
and measuring errors can appear.
