OPERATIONS INSTRUCTION
Preparation

Detail
operation
during use
Turn off the engine ignition switch.
All leak detection of automobile piping systems must be
performed with the engine turned off.
Remove the intake air filter, while some models need to
remove the throttle valve.
Clean the inner wall of the test pipe and install the conical
adapter of the air inlet on the test pipe.
The smoke leak detector is powered by DC 12V car battery
only.
After the air source is connected, adjust the flowmeter to its
maximum, and the cone head on the smoke outlet pipe will
output air pressure.
Press the smoke control switch, the indicator lights on, wait for
about 10 seconds, insert the cone head on the smoke outlet
pipe into the air inlet cone adapter when the smoke becomes
thick.
Wait for about 1 to 2 minutes, you can use a flashlight with
strong light to help find the leaks in the pipeline and diagnose
the leakage status.
After the test is completed, turn off all switches, recycle and
save the remaining test oil, put away all accessories, and
confirm that there is no omission.
If only part of the system needs to be tested or if the system
being tested has other openings that need to be sealed, a plug
kit can be used, which can also be used to seal the intake
manifold.
When the internal temperature reaches 75°C, the detector will
start self-protection function and stop working automatically.
Open the filling cap and drain 10ml of test liquid into the filling
port (A).
If the test oil is overfilled, turn the device upside down to drain
some oil.
Start using the SDT103.
Fit the smoke hose to the smoke outlet (I) and the power cord
to the power socket (G).
Connect the power clip to the DC 12V car battery.
The red clip is connected to the positive terminal (+) and the
black clip is connected to the negative terminal (-). For optimum
performance of the smoke leak detector, the car battery should
be fully charged in advance.
This detector only allows to use DC 12V car battery as power
source.
Connect the external air source port to compressed air, and
the access pressure range is 2-15 bar. Adjust the flowmeter to
the maximum, and the smoke outlet will output a constant
pressure of no more than 32 mbar.
Press the smoke control switch (F), the LED indicator (C) lights
up, the detector starts to work and generates smoke.
When the internal temperature reaches 75°C, the product will
start self-protection function and stop working automatically.
Press the smoke control switch (F) to stop the smoke output.
It is recommended to drain out the remaining test oil for next
use in case the detector is not used for a long time.

NOTE
Before using the airbag adapter, be sure to clean the inner wall
of the intake manifold (or other test interfaces) to prevent sharp
protrusions from piercing the airbag adapter.
Put the air bag (Z) into the test port.
Press the hand pump (X) until the bladder (Z) inflates and fully
seals the test port.
Connect the cone head on the smoke outlet pipe with the
smoke guide pipe (Y), introduce gases and smoke into the duct
to be tested.
After the test is completed, turn the pressure relief valve (W)
counter clockwise, take out the car air inlet adapter from the
test port, clean and save it.
Airbag adopter can not contact with corrosive oil.
