NOTE: It is important to move the tip of the probe past the 
leak. If held on a leak, the auto zero feature will 
gradually zero out the leak signal. 
3. When the instrument detects a leak source, it will emit a different 
audible tone.
4. When the TEK-Mate signals a leak, pull the probe away from the 
leak for a moment, then bring it back to pinpoint the location. If 
the refrigerant leak is large, setting the sensitivity switch to LOW 
will make it easier to find the exact site of the leak.
5. Return the sensitivity switch to HIGH before searching for 
additional leaks.
NOTE: When you reset the instrument to HIGH, as when you 
turn it on initially, the tone will sound continuously then 
give way to a chirp.
6. When you've finished leak-testing, turn OFF the instrument and 
store it in a clean place, protected from possible damage.
How To Change the Filter
The foam filter at the probe tip should be replaced if it becomes 
plugged with water or oil. To replace the filter, simply pull out the old 
filter (with a paper clip or similar device). Then, push in the new filter.
Cleaning The TEK-Mate's Housing
The TEK-Mate's plastic housing can be cleaned with standard 
household detergent or isopropyl alcohol. Care should be taken to 
prevent the cleaner from entering the instrument. Since gasoline and 
other solvents may damage the plastic, protect your INFICON 
TEK-Mate from contact with these substances.
