indicated, verify several times by moving the
sensor away from the leak area, resetting the unit
and then back to the suspected leak. If the
instrument indicates a leak three consecutive
times, then you have found a leak.
MAINTENANCE
The ELIMINATOR™ LS3000 is designed to required
a minimal amount of field maintenance. Periodic
replacement of the unit’s sensor and batteries are the
only maintenance needs.
•LOW BATTERY CONDITION: When the batteries
reach approximately 10% of capacity, the rightmost
LED of the tachometer indicator (above the LO BAT
symbol) will energize. The other seven LEDs will
continue to function as indicators of the leak’s
relative size.
• CHANGING THE CCD SENSOR: The CCD sensor
assembly consists of metal and plastic components.
Do not attempt to remove one component from the
other. Do not use solvents or cleaning solutions for
cleaning the sensor. It should be replaced when
air vents become clogged. Eventually, the sensor
will need to be replaced. This condition is usually
indicated by abnormal or erratic performance. With
the unit OFF, install the new sensor as
ILLUSTRATION 1 demonstrates. CPS recommends
that you change the CCD sensor at the beginning
of every cooling season and always have a spare
sensor available for replacement in the field.
