Notes before leak detecting:
1_ In order to detect leak in a refrigeration system, the system must have normal
operating pressure, or at least partially reaches to minimum 50 PSI Low
environmenta temperature (lower than 59T or 15 0C) may Ower the system
required pressure and may make the leak ess likely to be detected. NO leak
detected does not mean the system does not have gas leak Check the
pressure before making the conclusion
2. Leaking areas are usually covered with contaminants such as compressor oi
or dirt, be careful not to let the sensor tip in contact with these contaminants.
3. This product's function is to detect halogen's relative change at the sensor tip
Pinpointing the leak source needs to manually adjust the sensitivity and reset
the detector by the technician You could follow recommendations bellow:
(1) In areas where the atmosphere is contaminated with halogen refrigerant,
press reset key to "ignore"the leak in the background. Make sure not
to move the sensor tip away from the contaminated background
while resetting the detector.
(2) In windy area, the leaked halogen refrigerant may be quickly diluted or
removed from the leak source. The technician may use a wind shield to
isolate the leak area Or temporarily turn Off the fan
(3) TO avoid false alarm, prevent the sensor tip against touching any moisture or
other solvent
Maintenance
Proper maintenance is important and may extend the service life and improve
the performance of your detector.
Warning: Turn the power off before replacing the sensor tip Voltage across the
tip may pose an electrical hazard
Keep the Sensor tip clean: Use cotton cloth or dry air to clean the shield on
the sensor tip if it gets contaminated. If the sensor tip itself is contaminated,
soak the tip in absolute alcohol for a few minutes, and then use compressed air
to blow it dry, or dry it with cloth
Note: Never use strong solvents such as Gasoline, mineral oil, turpentine,
these solvents may coat the sensor with a thin film and reduce the sensitivity of
the detector and make the detector slow to respond to a leak
Put the detector and the tip in a dry and clean place; remove the batteries if the
detector is not used for a long time
