 Preamble

PREAMBLE

1. DEFINITION

The ATEQ ERD 520 is an electronic pressure regulator destined for assembly line
control on subassemblies for which a flow or an electrical contact event is required
when the pressure increases.
The ATEQ ERD 520 can generate gradual pressure rises, steady levels of pressure and
gradual decreases in pressure as well as chain several test cycles one after the other
following pre-programmed conditions.
The instrument principle is based on the servo-control of a pressure regulator.

The ATEQ ERD 520 comprises:

A) a pneumatic unit allowing:
¾ The filling of the part to the test pressure,
¾ The maintaining of the pressure during the pressure step time,
¾ The return to atmospheric pressure at the end of the cycle,
¾ The monitoring of the test pressure with a piezo electronic sensor for pressure
regulation and switching.
¾ The measurement of the air flow applied to a part.
B) a programmable electronic board which memorises all the cycle adjustments,
calculates, displays and transmits all the test results.

3. THE OPERATION PRINCIPLE

There exists two measurement principles, the direct measurement and the indirect
measurement. The configuration is determined by the application, and must be set
using the instrument controls.

3.1. DIRECT MEASUREMENT

The direct measurement consists of positioning the part to be controlled behind the
pneumatic circuit of the instrument thus releasing the flow to the atmosphere.

3.2. INDIRECT MEASUREMENT

The indirect measurement consists of inserting the part to be controlled before the flow

 Preamble

3.3. TEST CYCLE

The test takes place in three distinct phases:

1) The rise (Pressure UP) time: allows the gradual pressurisation of the test part. An
event control can be carried out during the pressure rise (from start pressure to step
pressure).
2) The step time: allows the measurement of flow with a constant pressure.
3) The drop (Pressure DOWN) time: progressively returns the test part to
atmospheric pressure. An event control can be carried out during the pressure fall.

 Chapter 1 – Installation of the instrument

2.2.3. 3) Pneumatic air supply

The air supply is connected to the filter

found on the back of the instrument.

The air supply must absolutely be clean and dry. The presence of dusts, oil or
impurities, causes a risk of improper operation of the instrument despite the filter
supplied.
When the instrument operates in vacuum the entry of debris into the instrument must be
avoided. For this purpose it is highly recommended that an appropriate leak proof filter
is fitted between the test part and the instrument. This filter can be supplied by ATEQ.
The presence of impurities, oil or humidity in the air may cause a deterioration for
which the guarantee will not be valid.

According to the ISO 8573-1 norm concerning the quality levels of compressed
air for measurement instruments in industrial environments:
ATEQ recommends:
• Grain size and concentration CLASS 1 (0,1 µm and 0,1 mg/m3)
• Dew point under pressure CLASS 2 (- 40° of dew)
• Maximal concentration in oil CLASS 1 (0,01 mg/m3)
ATEQ recommends the installation:
• Of an air drier allowing the obtaining of a dry air with a dew point at less than -
40°,
• Of a 25 microns and 1/100 of a micron double filter.
Optimisation of the operation:
The air supply pressure must be between 400 kPa and 800 kPa (4 and 8 bar) to ensure
a perfect operation of the pneumatic distributors.
With the electronic regulator, it is necessary that the input pressure of the
regulator be superior by at least 10 % of the full scale of the electronic regulator.

2.3.1. Pressure units

This parameter represents the pressure unit for the whole Cycle. The different units are:
Pa, kPa, MPa, mbar, bar, PSI.

2.3.2. Reject unit

The flow units are the following: l/h, l/min, m3/h, ml/min, ml/s.

2.3.3. Coupling time

The coupling (also known as wait) times A and B are cycle start parameters.
When there is no automatic connector, the coupling time A is a part of the cycle.
In the event of an instrument with automatic connector the coupling time A allows the
activation of a first connector as soon as the cycle starts and to delay the pressurisation
of the test part. The coupling time B allows the activation of a second automatic
connector. These coupling times ensure a better stabilisation of the seals placed on the
test part.

2.3.4. Initial (start) pressure

This parameter represents the initial pressure at the start of the cycle.

2.3.5. Pressure UP (rise) time

This time is the time taken for the pressure to rise from the initial pressure to the
instruction step pressure.

2.3.6. Step pressure

The step pressure corresponds to the instruction pressure which is maintained during
the step.

2.3.7. Step minimum pressure

This parameter is the minimum monitored threshold of the step pressure.

2.3.8. Step maximum pressure

This parameter is the maximum monitored threshold of the step pressure.

UM-21000B-U User manual ATEQ ERD 520 Page 33/88

 Chapter 3 – Start-up and adjustments

2.3.9. Step time

The step time is the time during which the step pressure is maintained.

2.3.10. End pressure

This parameter represents the final pressure at the end of the cycle.

2.3.11. Pressure down (drop) time

This time corresponds to the time taken for the pressure to drop from the instruction
step pressure to the instruction final pressure.

2.3.12. Functions

The FUNCTION menu gives access to additional parameters which must first be
activated from the CONFIGURATION menu then the EXTENDED MENUS.
If no additional parameter has been activated in the EXTENDED MENUS, the
FUNCTION menu is simply empty.
For activating these parameters, refer to chapter 4 § 2.

2.3.13. Events control

These parameters when they're validate by "Yes" in the "FUNCTIONS" menu appears
in the principal test program parameters list.
These measurements are controlling events who must arrived during the test cycle,
contact during the rising ramp and dropping ramp or flow measurements during the tree
cycle phases (rise, drop and step).
The contacts and the flow are independent. However the maximum and minimum
pressure values are the same for each event.

2.3.13. 1) Rising test contact

a) Maximum pressure on the rise

This is the superior pressure limit for the contact test during the rise.

b) Minimum pressure on the rise

This is the inferior pressure limit for the contact test during the rise.

out an average over the set measurement time; this will facilitate the reading of the
measurement.
) Select the option and enter settings if necessary.

2.1.3. 10) Mini valve

This function is dedicated to applications on parts with small volumes (inferior to 10
cm3), the instrument benefits from a time base of 0,01 s instead of 0,1 s.
The programming of the ATEQ ERD520 mini valve is identical to the programming of
the standard ATEQ ERD520.
Associated parameters to adjust: A-Z Diff (Differential automatic reset). This time can be
reduced as long as the values are stable and repeatable.
)Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

2.1.3. 11) Offset

A no negligible flow offset and depending of the test volume appears during a ramp
generation.
This function allows the subtraction of the value set in the parameters from the value
actually measured by the instrument. Example: if the measurement of the flow is of 14
litres a minute and the value of the offset set is of 5, then the instrument will display a
flow value of 9 litres per minute (9 = 14 – 5).
) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

2.1.3. 12) Pressure correction

The "pressure correction" function allows the conversion of the results by the instrument
to a defined pressure instruction.
When the function is activated, the instrument recalculates the flow results depending
on the instruction pressure. The measurement results will therefore no take into account
pressure variations.
) Select the option and adjust settings if necessary.

2.1.3. 13) Start pressure

This function makes it possible not to take account of measurements as long as the
parameterized pressure is not reached. Useful function when important variations of

1.1. POWER SUPPLY

The power supply of the ERD520 converts a

network power supply (120 to 240 V AC) to a
low voltage 24 V DC power supply. Without
any switch, the power supply is operational as
soon as it is connected to the mains. It is
protected against surges and short circuits
with a thermal fuse (do not use any other type
of fuse).

2.2. NEEDLE VALVE AND LEAK FLOW CALIBRATOR

2.2.1. Needle valve

Needle valves are used to calibrate the leakage

limits. These valves have an adjustable leak and
depending on the model allow adjustments of
between a few cm3/h to several l/min.
These valves can be easily disturbed and
therefore require the frequent use of some
means of checking the setting (eg: ATEQ Leak/
Flow calibrator).
Note: it is strongly recommended that you do
NOT leave a needle valve permanently
connected on a leak detection machine with
automatic calibration every « n cycles ».

2.2.2. CDF (Leak/Flow Calibrator)

The Leak/Flow calibrator is a multiple range

ATEQ flow meter intended for checking leak
testing equipment and particularly ATEQ
instruments. It measures a loss of charge with a

2.3. AUTOMATIC CONNECTORS WITH EXPANDABLE JOINTS

ATEQ automatic connectors are used so that accurate and reliable assemblies can be
built to check air tightness. They simplify the work of the operator as they are self-
locking thanks to the use of a pneumatic valve supplied from the mains compressed air
supply. Several connectors may be controlled by the same remote, powered by an
ATEQ or another logic.
They adapt easily to a large number of fittings and apertures of varied dimensions. Their
use ensures that non-machined walls can be guaranteed airtight.
There are four basic versions of ATEQ automatic connectors:
9 SA for external connections,
9 SI for internal connections,
9 SAG and SIG for threaded and tapped connections.
They are either in anodised aluminium or stainless steel as standard. Different types of
joints are available depending on the elasticity required.

2.3.1. Operation

The connector is positioned manually or automatically using a jack or cylinder.

Compressed air is allowed through the control aperture via a three part valve. The
pressure pushes the cylinder which squashes the connector. The air tightness is
therefore perfect and there will be no leakage in the connector seals.

2.3.2. Standard dimensions

SAG and SIG have been designed for threaded and tapped caps. For the time being,
they are available in gas norm. Sizes, which are: 1/2", 3/4", 1", 11/4", 11/2", 2", BSP.
The SA and SI are designed for smooth nozzles, with dimensions from 3 to 80 mm for
the external diameters (SA), and from 10 to 75 mm for the internal diameters (SI).

2.4. FILTRATION KIT

For an increased reliability of the instruments, it is necessary to use clean and dry air.
The filtration kit is connected to the air input on the rear panel of the instrument.
It is composed of a dust removal cartridge (5µm) and another cartridge (0,01 µm) to
reduce the residual oil pollution to 0,01 ppm.

2.6. REMOTE FRONT PANEL RC5

2.6.1. Presentation

This option allows the placing of the control station in a different place than the control
instrument; it allows the remote control and reading of results. This is useful when the
measurement instruments have to be positioned in inaccessible locations, such as
inside a machine to reduce the lengths of piping between the instrument and the test
part.

This front panel acts exactly as if the operator was in front of the instrument itself. For
the interface, refer to the global operation of the instrument.
This remote control is optional. It is connected to the LUMBERG type connector
reserved for remote controls. It is of "plug and play" type, the instrument automatically
detects it, and the “REMOTE CONTROL" menus appear if the RC5 remote control is
connected.
When the remote control is installed, its keyboard obtains priority over the control
instrument’s keyboard which becomes inactive.

This interface can only be installed with an RC5 type remote front panel with the
intelligent remote option.

2.7.2. Programmable keys

This remote control is fitted with four function keys (F1, F2, F3 and F4) which can be
programmed by the operator to fit his requirements (four buttons on the left). When a
special cycle is used on a function key, it no longer appears in the menus for the other
function keys.
The programmable functions are all the special cycles and the cycle start (the cycle
start function allows the simulation of a two handed remote control).
Note: the synchronisation between the two buttons is of 300 ms, the two handed remote
control is not a high security function, the ATEQ company would in no event be
responsible if an accident should occur on an operator following its improper use.

2.7.3. Programmable cycles

OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS

1. PHENOMENON NOTED

If a test machine begins to detect too many bad parts (statistically, more than three
consecutively), it is advisable to carry out a check on the whole unit. The quality of the
manufacture and operation of the leak detector should be the last things considered.

1.1. CONDITION OF THE MACHINE'S SEALS

This is the no.1 defect as the seals are subject to high levels of dirt contamination
(alumina, shavings). Regular cleaning of the seals is an effective remedy.

1.2. DAMAGED INSTRUMENT SEALS

There is a possibility that the seals may be cut by shavings or worn by repetitive
squashing. This can be prevented by regular servicing and replacement of the seals.

1.3. BUMPER PAD

This is a defect which may occur after a certain amount of time as the bumper pads
may be worn, or if the pressure settings in the air cylinder are inadvertently disturbed.
Check the stability of the measurement and that the bumper pads are correctly installed.

1.4. PNEUMATIC AIR SUPPLY TOO LOW

This anomaly can cause false measurements (large leaks or erratic measurements).
The air supply to the cells must be higher than the minimum of 4 bar and it is essential
that it is greater than the minimum test pressure of 1 bar. Also check that sealing
connectors are being used correctly.

1.5. PNEUMATIC LINK

The link and reference pipes will age and break with time. The pipes and seals must
conform to the required quality. ATEQ recommends the use of RILSAN PA11 pipes and
AVS type joints.

UM-21000B-U User manual ATEQ ERD 520 Page 79/88

 Chapter 7 – Operational problems

1.6. ENVIRONMENT

A measurement may be affected by a variation in background temperature (sun,

draughts, storage of parts outdoors, handling of the test part by the operator, ...).
The dampness of parts may cause errors in the readings (insufficient drying after
washing, outdoor storage, condensation, presence of water in the fixture, ...).

1.7. CALIBRATION

ATEQ does not accept any liability in regard to calibrations and settings to its
instruments which are not carried out by its own personnel.
