The D-TEK CO2 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 6½ hours of operation from a fully charged power stick.
The D-TEK CO2 will operate on the AC power adapter.

COMBUSTIVE ATMOSPHERES.
Using the D-TEK CO2 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 stop illuminating and you will hear an audible beeping.
The D-TEK CO2 is highly selective for CO
a natural background concentration of carbon dioxide of approximately 0.035%.
To prevent false alarms, it may be necessary to take steps to limit changes in this
background concentration from sources such as vehicle exhaust or your own
breath.
Headphone sets may be used with the D-TEK CO2. When the headphones are
plugged into the detector, the audio signal will only be heard through the headset.

Finding Leaks
1. Press the right hand switch until the HI sensitivity setting is indicated by the
amber LED
2. Place the tip of the leak-detector probe close to the site of the suspected leak.
Try to position the probe within 1/4 inch of the possible leak source.
3. 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 CO2 only responds to changes in
concentration of the refrigerant from the leak. Moving the probe
permits the instrument to respond properly to these changes.
