Just Better LD-5000 User Manual
LD 5000 REFERIGERANT LEAK DETECTOR
JB INDUSTRIES INC.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
JB Industries is proud to unveil the new, revolutionary LD 5000 PROWLER
refrigerant gas leak detector. Using our new proprietary JBI Electrochemical sensor technology for unparalleled accuracy coupled with the unique
user features, there simply is no better hand held probe type service leak
detector system on the market. The LD 5000 uses a long life sensor that
is designed to detect the more current and more diffi cult HFC refriger-
ants such as R-134a, R-410A, R-404A, R-407C, and R-507 in addition
to all HCFC (R-22) and refrigerants including SNAP approved hydrocarbon blends. The sensitivity is extremely accurate for all HFC, HCFC and
blended refrigerants as well as the new HFO refrigerants. The sensor is
durable and will not be damaged by overexposure to refrigerant gas or
contaminated by condensate water. Its slim-line design makes it easy to
probe diffi cult to search areas. The technology provides for low battery
consumption, excellent circuit stability, extremely long sensor life, and the
electrochemical function of the sensor does not diminish over time with
use. The sensor life has been tested to be greater than ten years, which
is unique in the industry and it is safe to use in a combustible atmosphere.
The PROWLER features a large LCD screen that fl ips upward so the user
can adjust the screen position for better visibility. The bar graph shows
the intensity of a leak to help pinpoint the source of the leak. The sensitivity can be programmed from high to medium to low. If a leak is detected,
there is an audible alarm that will sound, vibration in handle, and bar graph
on the screen. The LCD display also indicates the amount of remaining battery life. The LD 5000’s unique digital leak size indicator takes the
guesswork out of whether or not to repair a small leak. The adjustable
LCD display is independent from the audio and/or vibrating handle alarms
and sensitivity level, allowing for the precise pinpointing of the leak source.
The PROWLER does not require rechargeable batteries and operates on
4 AA batteries (included).

HOW TO OPERATE
1) TURN ON: Press the ON/OFF button once to turn on and again to turn
off. NOTE: Hold button down for approximately 1 second to turn unit off.
2) WARM UP: The detector automatically energizes the sensor condi-
tioning it for use. During the sensor conditioning cycle, the digital graph
leak size indicator wil gradually increase and the detector will sound a
slow “beep”. Warm up mode is usually less than 20 seconds and is complete when the digital graph displays all 10 bars. NOTE: When the detector has not been used for long periods, conditioning may take slightly
longer than usual.
3) READY: The detector is ready to begin searching for leaks when the
sensitivity setting (Hi, Med, or Low) and the battery indicator are displayed
on the LCD. The audio “beep” increases in frequency.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
The battery indicator consists of the battery outline with 3 bars within the
outline and located in the upper center portion of the LCD display. Battery level indication is the following:
Three Bars: Full Voltage
Two Bars: 1/2 Life
One Bar: 1/4 Life
No Bars: Low Voltage (Change Batteries)
No Bars/ Blinking: Unit will be disabled and not function properly
in this state
Replace the 4 AA Alkaline batteries when the battery indicator shows no
bars. Follow battery installation instructions under MAINTENANCE.
