The D-TEK Select is shipped with the infrared cell and power stick installed. The nickel/metal hydride batteries in the power stick are not yet charged. To charge them, connect the cord of the AC power adapter to the power jack at the rear of the instrument, and plug the adapter into the appropriate mains outlet. The battery charging light (rear left side) will flash when the detector is charging, changing to steady illumination when the power stick is charged. Allow 10 hours for the full charge.
NOTE: You should expect approximately 6.5 hours of operation from a fully charged power stick. The D-TEK Select will operate off the AC power adapter. Connecting the supplied AC power adapter will allow operation of the detector while the power stick charges.

WARNING
DO NOT OPERATE THIS INSTRUMENT IN THE PRESENCE OF GASOLINE, NATURAL GAS, PROPANE, OR IN OTHER COMBUSTIVE ATMOSPHERES.
Using the D-TEK Select is simple. Press the power switch once to turn the detector ON. The green ON indicator lamp will illuminate, and the yellow indicator lamps will illuminate from left to right in a running fashion while the infrared cell warms up (approximately 60 seconds). When the detector is warmed up and ready for use, the yellow lamps extinguish and you will hear a steady beeping.
The D-TEK Select provides similar responses to all CFC’s, HCFC’s, HFC’s and refrigerant blends (i.e., R-404A, R407C, R-410A) as well as SF6. There is no need to select the refrigerant you’re working with.
NOTE: The D-TEK Select does not detect R-11 due to the particular physical properties of this refrigerant.
Headphone sets may be used with the D-TEK Select. When the headphones are plugged into the detector, the audio signal will only be heard through the headset.
WARNING
ONLY USE HEADPHONE SETS SUPPLIED BY INFICON, PART #032-0404. SERIOUS HEARING DAMAGE MAY OCCUR IF OTHER HEADPHONE SETS ARE USED.
1.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 inch of the possible leak source.
2.Slowly (approximately 1-2 inches per second) move the probe past each possible leak point.
NOTE: It is important to move the tip of the probe past the leak to get a correct reading. The D-TEK Select only responds to changes in concentration of the refrigerant from the leak. Moving the probe permits the instrument to respond properly to these changes.
3.When the instrument detects a leak source, its yellow lamps will illuminate and it will emit a different audible tone.
