Why is my Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate not finding leaks?
Your Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate might not be finding leaks because the sensor has reached the end of its useful life and needs replacement, or the power switch is set to LOW instead of HIGH. If the power switch is set to LOW, set it to HIGH and scan for the leak again.
What to do if my Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate responds slowly to a leak?
If your Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate responds slowly to a leak, the filter might be dirty or wet and needs replacing. Another possible cause is a failure in the pumping system. Turn the TEK-Mate on and listen for a high-pitched motor sound; if you do not hear the motor, it might indicate a problem. Also, ensure the sensor cover is properly installed.
How to fix false alarms on Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate?
If your Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate is giving false alarms when the probe is moved, the sensor leads might be bent. Remove the sensor and inspect the leads. If necessary, straighten them carefully with needle-nose pliers and reinstall the sensor. Another cause might be moisture absorbed by the sensor during a long period without use. Run the TEK-Mate for at least 20 minutes to resolve this; the absorption of moisture does not affect the life or sensitivity of the sensor.
How to troubleshoot Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate that will not power up?
If your Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate will not power up, the batteries are likely worn out and need replacing. Another possibility is that the batteries have been improperly installed; check their installation.
How to stop false alarms on Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate when moving the probe?
If your Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate is giving false alarms when the probe is moved or bumped, it could be due to bent sensor leads. Remove the sensor and inspect the leads. If necessary, straighten them with needle-nose pliers and reinstall the sensor. Another reason could be that moisture was absorbed by the sensor during a long period without use. Run the device for at least 20 minutes.
How to improve the sensitivity of Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate?
If your Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate isn't finding leaks, it could be due to a sensor that has reached the end of its life. Try replacing the sensor. Alternatively, the sensitivity might be set too low. Ensure that the sensitivity is set to HIGH and try scanning for leaks again.
Why does my Inficon Security Sensors TEK-Mate give false alarms?
