 Recommendations for leak testing
instruments

Precautions for the test environment

• Keep the test area as clean as possible.

Precautions for the operators

• ATEQ recommends that the operators using the instruments should have a
suitable qualification and training with respect to the work bench requirements.

General precautions
• Read the user manual before using the instrument,
• all electrical connections to the instrument must be equipped with a safety
system (fuse, circuit breaker…) appropriate to its needs and complying with the
standards,
• to avoid electromagnetic interference, the cable connections to the instrument
should be less than two meters in length,
• it is essential that the electrical main is earthed,
• disconnect the electrical connections to the equipment before maintenance,
• cut the air supply for any kinds of operation on the pneumatic assembly,
• do not open the instrument when it is powered up,
• avoid water spillage near of the instrument,
• ATEQ is at your disposal for any further information concerning the use of the
instrument under maximum safety conditions.

We would like to bring to your attention that ATEQ will not be held responsible
for any accident connected to the improper use of the instrument, to the work
bench or to the lack of compliance with safety rules.
ATEQ Company is free from any responsibility for any adjustment of its
instrument which would not have been done by its own technicians.
The ATEQ cannot be held responsible if the instrument (program, mechanics or
electronics) has been modified without prior written consent.

 ATEQ, THE ASSURANCE OF A COMPETENT AFTER SALES
SERVICE
„ THE ATEQ AFTER SALES SERVICE IS :
• a team of qualified technicians,
• a permanent telephone assistance,
• agencies close to you for faster reaction,
• a stock of spare parts available immediately,
• a car fleet for rapid intervention,
• a commitment to quality ...
„ THE OVERHAUL
ATEQ carries out the overhaul of your instruments at interesting prices.
The overhaul corresponds to the maintenance of the instrument (checking, cleaning, replacing of used
parts) as part of preventive maintenance.
Preventive maintenance is the best way to guarantee reliability and efficiency. It allows the
maintenance of a group of instruments in good operational order and prevent eventual break-downs.
„ MAINTENANCE KITS
The ATEQ After Sales Service proposes, two kits destined for the preventive maintenance of the
pneumatic circuits of instruments.
„ CALIBRATION
This may be carried out on site or in our offices.
ATEQ is attached to the COFRAC and delivers a certificate following a calibration.
„ TRAINING COURSES
In the framework of partnership with our customers, ATEQ offers two types of training in order to
optimise the usage and knowledge of our instruments. They are aimed at different levels of technician:
• method / control training,
• maintenance / upkeep training.
„ A TARGETED TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION
A number of technical documents are at your disposal to allow you to intervene rapidly in the event
minor breakdowns:
• problem sheets describing and offering solutions to the main pneumatic and electronic
problems,
• several maintenance manuals.
„ A QUALITY GUARANTEE
The instruments are guaranteed for parts and labour in our offices:
• 2 years for leak detection equipment,
• 1 year for electrical tests to norms instruments,
• 1 year for the accessories.
Our After Sales Service is capable of rapidly answering all your needs and queries.

We strongly recommend to send the instrument

back to ATEQ once a year for re-calibration

START UP ADJUST AND MEASURES

1. STARTING THE ATEQ CDF60

The CDF60 can run with the power supply or with the internal battery.

Check the pneumatics and electrics connections before the start up of the CDF60.

Switches on the instrument.

When this is on, the battery level becoming too low

for reliable operation, the "LOW BAT" light will light
on.

The instrument starts the auto-zero cycle.

AUTO ZERO

+/- 40.00 cm3/min

At the end of the auto-zero cycle, the instrument AIR STD.COND.

indicates the current flow measured and is ready

for measurement. 00.00
Note: it's important to make regularly an auto-zero cycle.

2. MEASURES DISPLAY

The instrument displays continuously the current flow. There's no measurement start
cycle.
There are two display modes:
¾ The simple mode where only the current flow is displayed.

ACCESSORIES, SECURITY AND RECYCLING

1. ACCESSORIES

1.1. POWER SUPPLY

The power supply of the CDP60

converts a network voltage (120 to 240
V AC) into a 24 V DC low voltage
supply. It has no power switch and
works as soon as it is plugged in.
It is protected against surges and short
circuits via a thermal fuse (Do not use
any other type of fuse).

Moreover, this supply can be plugged on all types of electrical plugs using different
removable pins.
The instrument is not designed to work during the battery charge.

1.2. SOFT CASE

The soft case is to put away the instrument

when out of use.

1.3. USB WIRE

To connect the instrument to a PC.
