5. The frequency of the ck (sound) is an indicaon of the
sensivity. Move the knob unl the cking is rapid, for High
sensivity, or slow for Low sensivity.
NOTE: If a steady ck cannot be maintained, it is indicave that
the baeries may need to be recharged.
6. Search the general area of the suspected refrigerant leak.
When a detectable compound enters the p, the ck rate
speeds up.
7. In conjuncon with the increased speed of the ck the LEDs
will light from le to right as a combusble is detected. The
larger the concentraon, the more the LEDS will light.
8. In most cases, it will not be necessary to adjust the sensivity
of the detector. However, if the siren sounds before a possible
leak source can be found, it is likely that air is contaminated with
heavy concentraons of gas. Therefore, you may desensize the
detector by moving the adjustment knob down to low sensivity
unl the cking slows to normal.
9. If your are searching for extremely small leaks, Make certain
the control knob is in the High posion or you hear rapid cking.
Ulize vacuum pumps, recovery equipment, and other tools
that are rated for and cered for use with A3 ammable
refrigerants. Vacuum pumps must be cered for the
refrigerant being used.
Evacuation:
If a vacuum pump rated for A3-refrigerant is not available,
check with your vacuum pump manufacturer for
instrucons about using equipment for A3s such as R600a.
