SL3000(XL) Sniffer line
In order to operate the Protec P3000 it is essential for the SL3000(XL) sniffer line to
be connected. The connection for the sniffer line is located at the front of the Protec
P3000 left of the PRO-Check reference leak. Insert the plug into the opening with the
red dot on the plug and the slot in the front cover aligned until the connector engages.
To disconnect the plug, retract the coupling and remove the probe’s line.
Water protection tip (optional)
If you intend to perform leak testing on parts that are not completely dry (e.g. due to
condensation after performance testing), we strongly recommend to use a water
protection tip.
To install the water protection tip,
1 screw off the metallic capillary filter at the very end of the sniffer tip and
2 install the water protection tip instead.
Notice Please do not forget to re-install the little rubber seal when switching to the
water protection tip.
PRO-Check Reference leak (optional)
Please insert the PRO-Check reference leak into the opening in the housing of the
main unit. Make sure that the Sub-D plug is properly connected with the leak
detector.
Notice When properly inserted, the PRO-Check reference leak will still protrude by
approx. 10 mm.
On first usage of your PRO-Check you need to initialize the use of this reference leak
in the Protec P3000 software.
Please perform the following steps:
1 Insert the PRO-Check into the appropriate opening of the Protec P3000
2 In the software menu go to
HISTORY & MAINTENANCE / REPLACE PRO-CHECK.
