An observing campaign coordinated between ground based and SOHO instruments has been planned to obtain simultaneous spectroheliograms of the same area in several spectral lines. The chromospheric lines Ca II K, Hα and Na I D, as well as the He I 10830, 5876, 584 and He II 304 Å lines, have been observed. These observations allow us to build semi-empirical models of the chromosphere and low transition region of an active region, taking into account the photoionizing photons impinging on it. We obtained a model that matches very well all the observed line profiles, using the standard value of the He abundance ([He]=0.1). We studied the influence of the coronal radiation on the computed helium lines and found that, even in an active region, the incident coronal radiation has a limited effect on the UV He lines, while it results of fundamental importance for the D3 and 10830 lines. Finally, we built two more models assuming values of the He abundance [He]=0.07 and 1.5, only in the region where the temperatures are larger than 10000 K and found that the observations can still be well reproduced in both cases. This implies that, to choose between different values of [He], it is necessary to constrain the transition region with different observables, independent of the He lines.
