3.1.8 Measurement time t
M
for TC 1, TC 2, TC 3
The sensitivity of the tightness control TC can be ad-
justed by adapting the measurement time t
M
for each
individual system. The longer the measurement time t
M
,
the greater the sensitivity of the tightness control. The
longer the measurement time, the smaller the leakage
rate at which a safety shut-down/fault lock-out is trig-
gered.

The measurement time can be set with a jumper to be-
tween 5 s and max. 30 s.
30 s = factory setting
Without jumper: no function. The

The required measurement time t
M
is calculated from:
Q

Q
L
= leakage rate [l/h] = Q
max.
[m

/h] x 0.1%, see
page 35 (Leakage rate Q

)
p
u
= inlet pressure [mbar]
V
P
= test volume [l], see page 34 (Test volume V

for TC 1, TC 2, TC 3, TC 4)

For all combination controls CG, the measurement
time t

for TC 1C is 5 s.
Test period t

The entire test period is calculated from the measure-
ment time t

for both valves and the fixed opening
time t

of both valves.
