Getting Started
1. Install the batteries and sensor as described below.
2. Slide the OFF-LOW-HIGH Sensitivity switch to the HIGH
position.
3. Wait for the TEK-Mate to warm up. A high-pitched audible tone
will be heard and the “LEAK” indicator will be illuminated while
the TEK-Mate is warming up. When this tone changes to a chirp
and the “LEAK” indicator starts flashing, the TEK-Mate is ready
to find leaks.
4. Begin checking for leaks.
The INFICON TEK-Mate Refrigerant Leak Detector provides similar
responses to all CFC's, HCFC's, HFC's and refrigerant blends (i.e.
R-404A, R407c) as well as SF6. There is no need to select the
refrigerant you're working with.
How to Install the Alkaline Batteries
1. Remove the battery cover by releasing the latch and sliding the
cover down and off the handle.
2. Install two “D” size alkaline batteries as shown in Figure 1.
3. Reinstall the battery cover by aligning it with the handle and
sliding it up until the latch engages.
When the batteries are nearing the end of their useful life, the yellow
Low Battery indicator illuminates. While the batteries may operate
the TEK-Mate up to a period of one hour after the Low Battery
indicator illuminates, the batteries should be replaced as quickly as
possible.
