The document provides instructions for pressure testing and analyzing gas samples. It first describes how to select a data set and check port numbers and calibration gases for the pressure test. It then explains how to plug bottles into ports without opening them and run the pressure test. Finally, it outlines how to start the analysis, enter a file name, start the analysis by watching the graph, and open bottles if the calibration curve looks correct.

1. Step 2. Pressure test
Schritt 2. Dichtigkeitsprüfung
Main menu (Hauptmenu (1)) select Data set (Messreihe angeben)
(5) Loading
PaulBMBF.P64 [sidenote-- include a (site measured at).P64]
(3) Display table (Tabelle anzeigen)
-Enter in missing port number: with row F3 paste in, type in corresponding port
numbers, and switch it with the next row so the changes are assumed.
- Correctly choose calibration gas in the data set! E0, E1, and E2 for the small/short
measurement range, and E1, E2, E3 for the longer measurement range.
In the correct numerical order according to the protocol, plug the glass bottles in the ports,
but DON’T open them.
In main menu (haupmenü), select (2), Pressure test / dichtigkeitsprüfung.
Press “enter” and affirm it with j.
If it is sealed (it will show Dichtigkeit i.O.), continue to step three.
If the pressure test is not i.O. check the marked bottles on the right side of port, if
necessary separately check the pressure on the vacuum pump of the o.a. valves.
In main menu (haupmenü 2) start a new pressure test.
Step 3. Analysis
Schritt 3. Analyse
Main Menu (3) Start Analysis
Press ‘Enter’
Confirm with ‘j’
Enter file name in the SDDMM_KK format. S = Standortbezeichnung (P =
Paulinenaue, Z = Zarnekow)., DD=Day (date), MM=Month (date), KK=Box Number
(can be found on the protocol).
o E.g.: P1004789= Standort Paulinenaue, Measured on 10.04, Box 7/8/9
Start analysis using ‘Enter’
Watch the graph – (6) Gas processor, (6) Graphs, (1) FID/ECD
When the calibration gas curve displays i.O. => Open the bottles
If disturbed/interrupted, end analysis with (9).
