SMART CHARGE 5

AUTOMATIC TRACER GAS CHARGING SYSTEM

The Smart Charge 5 is a fully automatic, configurable system designed for safe and efficient evacuation and tracer gas backfilling. Equipped with a built-in gross leak test, it ensures the integrity of the product before the final leak test stage. Ideal for helium, hydrogen, or other tracer gases, it streamlines the pre-charging process while improving repeatability and operator safety. Compatible with the following tracer gas units:

HE-490S– Helium Tracer Gas Sniffer
HX-490S – Dual Gas Tracer Gas Sniffer
HE-490M – Vacuum Mass Spectrometer System
MS-40GT – Portable Helium Leak Tester
MS-50GT – High-Speed Leak Test Console
SMART CHARGE 5 HD – High Pressure Gas Handling System

This versatile unit is perfect for applications requiring controlled evacuation and pressurization, whether used as a standalone system or integrated with ATEQ leak detectors like the MS-40GT or MS-50GT. Its compact design and customizable settings make it a valuable addition to any automated leak testing setup.
