and suppress it during the measurements, keep the sniffer tip away from possible
gas sources and press the ZERO button on the device or on the button on the
handle briefly.
6. Hold the sniffer tip close to the possible leak source and sniff the test object. The
tip must touch the test object. If you would like to test a weld or something similar,

When checking a spot, hold the sniffer line for at least 1 second.
If there is a leak, this is indicated in the display as well as by an acoustic signal,
regardless of your settings.
