2.1 Intended use
The device is a leak detector for sniffer leak detection. With the device you locate and
quantify leaks on test objects. The device sniffs for light gases, refrigerants and
natural gases. The test objects must contain the gas under overpressure. The
outsides of the test objects are checked for escaping gas with a sniffer line (sniffing
method). The sniffer line is available as an accessory, see "Accessories [}85]."
• You must install, operate and service the device only in compliance with these
operating instructions.
• Adhere to the restrictions of use, see "Technical data [}16]."
Incorrect usage • Only use the device away from areas with a risk of explosions.
• Do not suck up liquids with the instrument.
• Never hold the sniffer tip into liquids but sniff only for gases. To sniff test objects
that have low surface moisture, such as condensation moisture, use the water
protection tip.
