Portable Dry Leak DetectorASM 122 DAn innovative portable leak detector conceptspecifically engineered to meet any maintenancerequirements for clean applicationsLeak testing a thin film system or a satellite test chamber is always a burden formaintenance people and quality managers.Guaranteeing pollution free (hydrocarbon oil contamination for instance) insidethe system to be tested is one of the mandatory requirements. Furthermore,the detector has to be able to accommodate many essential needs, such asperforming high sensitivity leak testing within limited footprint.BE EASILY MOVABLEEVEN IN OPERATIONBE READILY AVAILABLEIN ANY AREAEASY TO MOVECOMPACTNESSThe ASM 122 D is a self-containedunit integrated to a cart witha minimal footprint and an exceptionalmanœuvrability.POWERFULThe ASM 122 D offers unmatchedperformance in all test modes:LOCATE QUICKLY ANY SIZELEAKS IN ANY SYSTEMPERFORMANCE Sniffing mode: The new auto-zerofunction (“floating-zero” method) deliversthe ability to measure leaks as smallas 1.10-7 mbar.l/s. Inboard testing mode: The 4 l/s (240 l/min.) helium pumpingspeed and the compression ratioof its high vacuum pumps provideultra-fast response and recovery time. Sensitivity of 5.10-12 mbar.l/s.EASY TO USEBE USER-FRIENDLYFOR ANY END-USERUSER-FRIENDLESS2A very comprehensive display controlpanel, with direct access tointegrated functions, makes this unit easyto operate for any end-user.

Portable Dry Leak DetectorASM 122 DThe innovative concept of the ASM 122 D makes it the ideal portabledry leak detector to meet any maintenance needs for clean applications.It is recommended for a wide range of applications: Leak testing vacuum systems in the semiconductor industry Leak testing components (valves, filters, .) Maintenance of system chambers in the research and developmentslaboratories (beam lines, vacuum systems, etc.) Clean environment operation (aerospace industry, instrumentation,medical and pharmaceutical industry, food industry, .).An innovative concept offeringexcellent manœuvrability and compactnessOne of the biggest issues regardingthe operation of a leak detector as amaintenance tool is linked to thefollowing: Its transportability and manœuvrability to move through tight spaces. Its capability to be placed in verylimited space area during the tests. Its capability to be stored easilyonce the tests have beenperformed.So many issues which very oftencould not be solved. So many questions that Alcateldid answer with the ASM 122 D: Manœuvrability:The ASM 122 D is a self-containedunit integrated to a cart, whichallows the detector to be movedeffortlessly, even for long distances. Large wheels:Help the operator to move the trolleyeasily (ability to pass through variousobstacles like stairs or irregular floors).Furthermore, the complete set hasbeen designed to be moved easilythrough narrow corridors. Small footprint:The dimensions of the detector makeit easy to store in limited spaces. Portability:The ASM 122 D is the lightest complete unit available on the market(29 kg/64 lb.), for transportationand use by a single operator.3

Portable Dry Leak DetectorASM 122 DA "performance / compactness" ratio without equivalentCompactness and size have always been criteria in detriment to performance: Not anymore !One of the goals of the Alcatel R&D team was to design a really compact and powerful dry leak detectorwhich could meet the requirements of high-tech industries and research laboratories.They have achieved this target by developing and integrating a unique concept which uses the latest innovationsin the field of vacuum technology.Vacuum-activated valves: Large diameter valves (offering excellentconductance) controlled by a vacuum buffer system Low power consumption Low noise and vibration Reinforced reliability (MTBF 2,000,000 cycles)New analyzer cell: 180 magnetic deflection mass spectrometer. Patented amplification system based on an electronmultiplier (multi-channel plate concept) which provides unmatched stability and sensitivity. Two independent filaments for a better reliabilityand maintainability (automatic switch fromone filament to the other with automaticauto-calibration for maximum up-time).Compact secondary pump (ATH 31):The hybrid turbo pump size allowsa unique integration for optimizedperformance such as : Very high helium pumping speed(4 l/s or 240 l/min.) Impressive performance in roughing mode.Diaphragm dry pump: Multistage compact package No particle generation, ensuring totalcleanliness of the parts to be tested Low consumption Low noise.4

All pertinent information related tothe auto-calibration process and itssettings.Signal correction Automatic correction processed bythe detector through an externalcalibration. Possibility to manually adjust thecorrection factor (for direct readoutof the helium signal regardless ofthe leak rate unit).Auto-zero The auto-zero function is an advanced feature which allows the operator toconveniently improve the sensitivity of the detector when the helium signalmeasurement becomes more difficult due to a high background level. The auto-zero function is even more helpful in sniffing mode, for suppressingthe background signal due to the residual helium in the air (5 ppm) enhancingthe sensitivity up to 1.10-7 mbar.l/s. The principle of the function is to subtract the background in order to focuson the helium signal. The new method developed by Alcatel is based on aspecific algorithm ("floating zero" method) which eliminates the display oferroneous results and guarantee to detect any size leaks.All these functions are directly accessible by depressing one single key switch.5
