OPERATING PROCEDURE:

WARNING!
Do not operate this instrument in the presence of gasoline, natural gas,
propane, or in other combustible atmospheres.
• HOW TO FIND LEAKS
NOTE: A sudden whipping of the leak detector probe or "blowing" into the
sensor tip will affect the air flow over the sensor and cause the
instrument to alarm.
(1) POWER-UP KEY:
The "ON/OFF" key turns the Refrigerant Leak Detector instrument ON or OFF
and is also the reset function.
• Press it once to turn on the Refrigerant Leak Detector. The display will
illuminate with flashing for 45 seconds to heat up the sensor.
• Press and hold this button for 5 seconds to turn OFF the power.
(2) AUTO RESET & RESET FUNCTION KEY
When the Auto Reset function is turned ON, the meter will monitor
background status and fine tune itself. When Reset LED light is on, it
indicates it is in ON mode. Press Reset button and hold for 2 seconds the
Reset light will turn off and Auto Reset function is in OFF mode. When the
Reset light is off, it indicates the Reset function is in manual mode. Press the
Reset button once to enable manual Reset function.
(3) VERIFY THE CONDITION OF THE UNIT AND SENSOR:
• Set the sensitivity level to "Hi".
• Open the Leak Check bottle cover and slowly move it closer to the
flexible stainless probe nozzle.
• The indication should move up to high from low. Then move the check
bottle away and the LED should go off again. This shows that the unit is
in working condition.
• If the unit does not perform as expected, order a new sensor and
batteries from your local supply office.
(4) ENTER THE MEASURING MODE:
• Place the tip of the leak detector probe as close as possible to the site
of the suspected leak. Try to position the probe within 1/4"
(6mm) of the possible leak source.
• Slowly move the probe past each possible leakage point.
• When the instrument detects a leak source, the audible tone will alarm.
Additionally, the visual indicators will light from left to right, Green LED,
then Orange LED, then Red LED (highest concentration) as increase in
level indicates that the location is close to the source.
