Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

H3: What is the difference between the ELT-101 and the ELT-201P series?

The main difference lies in the control interface. The ELT-101 uses a large LCD and mechanical buttons, making it an effective and basic microcontroller-based device. In contrast, the ELT-201P series is a more advanced generation that features a 5.7-inch graphical touch screen and has more extensive method storage capabilities.

H3: How does the blue dye test work with this machine?

The user places the package sample inside the vacuum desiccator, which contains a blue dye solution. When the machine creates a vacuum, if the package has a leak, the pressure differential will draw the dye solution inside. After the test, the user can easily observe the presence of the dye inside the product to identify a leak.

H3: Is the ELT-101 difficult to use?

No, the instrument is designed to be very user-friendly. With its clear LCD and simple controls, setting the vacuum level and hold time is straightforward.

H3: How do I print results from the ELT-101?

You can connect the ELT-101 to a compatible printer via the available serial port on the device to print the test report.
