Agilent Varian 979 Mass Spectrometer Helium Leak Detector - REBUILT

The Model 979 is a wide-range helium mass spectrometer leak detector. It is comprised of a turbomolecular high vacuum pump, spectrometer tube, valve block, Vacuum Technologies’ Platform leak detector electronics, and an operator interface in a stylish, yet rugged housing. The 979 is available as a stand-alone, bench-mount unit or as a single or dual, dry or oil sealed mechanically pumped leak testing station on a cart. Featuring a multi-flow mode vacuum system, high sensitivity is combined with the ability to start leak testing at quickly achieved pumpdown pressures. The Agilent Varian MacroTorr turbo pump allows the 979 to perform quantitative, high sensitivity testing at high test pressures.

  • Helium sensitivity range 10-5 to 10-10 atm-cc/sec range
  • Automatic with touch screen interface
  • Operable in evacuation and sniffing modes

Minimum detectable leak, atm-cc/sec 5 x 10-10 5 x 10-11
Leak units atm-cc/sec, mbar-l/sec, Torr-l/sec, Pa-m3/sec
Response time Less than 0.5 second, in accordance with AVS Standard 2.1.
Amplifier drift Less than 5% of full scale of the most sensitive range, in accordance with AVS Standard 2.1.
Noise level Less than 5% of full scale, peak-to-peak, in accordance with AVS Standard 2.1.
Calibration Fully automated tuning and calibration using the internal or external calibrated leak. The fast calibrate feature allows the standard version to calibrate in less than 20 seconds and the high sensitivity version to calibrate in less than 1 minute.
Zero control Selectable mode background elimination with unique AUTOZERO < 0 feature.
Leak indication A 50-segment bar graph (linear or log) indicator displays leak rates automatically; alphanumeric indication on LCD display. A leak can also trigger an audible alarm frequency that varies in proportion to the size of the leak, dedicated volume control and programmable audio threshold. Analog voltage is proportional to the leak rate.
Pressure indication Test port and spectrometer pressure bar graph displays and test port pressure alphanumeric indication on LCD display.
Spectrometer tube Sensitivity optimized design, header mounted ion source with dual thoria-coated iridium filament, preamplifier, ConvecTorr® and vacuum gauge.
Automatic valve sequencing Microprocessor-controlled valve operation provides automatic system cycling.
Safety interlocks A valve system design that completely protects the high-vacuum system under test against pressure surge and power interruption.
Cycle time Blanked port can be cycled to the fine leak test in 4 seconds. An auto sequencer feature provides clear accept/reject signals and allows programming of a complete test cycle (START/ROUGH/TEST/VENT).
Test port NW25; A 118" (28 mm) ID Compression Port is available as an accessory.
Remote I/O capabilities Interface (DB-37S) with optically isolated (5-24 VDC) outputs and inputs, Non-isolated Serial RS-232 interface, and Non-isolated Analog output (0-10 V). Non-isolated Remote Control (DB-9S) interface.
Accessories (optional) Universal Remote (part # L9558301) with 25 foot cord, External Calibrated Leak, and Power Probe.
