BATTERY INSTALLATION
Hold the leak detector handle horizontally. To remove the battery door, slide the
door away from the unit. Load the two “C” cell batteries into the compartment
with the positive (+) end up. Reinstall the battery door.
BATTERY TEST
Turning the unit ON will automatically run the battery function test and display
the battery condition on the UNITS LED display. To view the remaining battery
life, press and hold the ON/OFF button.

OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. SENSITIVITY LEVELS
Six sensitivity levels (1-6). The highest sensitivity will detect a 1/10 oz leak per
year. Turn ON the unit, it will default to Level 5. (Level 5 is the recommended
setting to begin inspection). To view the sensitivity level on the LED display, press
either the UP or DOWN arrow. The LED display will illuminate for approximately
two seconds. (One red LED for every sensitivity level.) One illuminated red LED is
the lowest sensitivity setting and six illuminated red LEDS are the highest.
Low Sensitivity
Setting (RED)
The sensitivity level can be increased by the UP arrow and decreased by the
DOWN arrow. Pressing the selected arrow once will adjust the sensitivity to the
next level. Pressing and holding the arrow will continue to move the setting until
the arrow is released.
High Sensitivity
Setting (RED)
2. DETECTION LEVELS
15 levels of detection. As the unit approaches the leak source and the refrigerant
concentration increases, the audible alarm will increase in speed and the LED
will progress through a series of three colors, Red, Yellow and Green. The LED
will display 5 levels of detection in each color range.
Low Detection
Levels (RED)
Medium
Detection Levels
(YELLOW)
High Detection
Levels (GREEN)
The detection level will vary depending on the level of the sensitivity setting. The
same size leak will display higher detection levels in higher sensitivity settings
and lower detection levels in the lower sensitivity settings.
3. RESET FUNCTION
The primary use for the RESET function is to pinpoint the leak source. When the
unit detects a leak and goes into full alarm, press the RESET button. Resetting
will ignore any leaks at that level and only detect leaks of higher concentration.
UV/BLUE LIGHT
The UV/Blue light can be used to help detect leaks in systems containing Ultra
Violet Dye. The light can be activated by pressing the UV Light button. This func-
1
tion will operate with the unit ON or OFF.

IMPORTANT LEAK DETECTION TIPS:
A. Make sure that the air conditioning/refrigeration system is turned OFF before
inspection. A sufficient amount of refrigerant must be present in the system.
A minimum gauge pressure of 50 PSI at ambient temperature of 60˚ and
above with the system OFF is required for efficient leak detection.
B. For the best leak detection results, the probe should be moved across the
leak detection area at the rate of 1” - 2” per second (25 - 50mm per second)
and held 1/4” (5mm) away from the surface. An increase in the alarm rate will
indicate a leak. To confirm the correct leak location, blow shop air around the
suspected leak area, move the probe into fresh air, reset and reinspect.
C. When inspecting in contaminated or high humidity areas, erratic alarming
may occur. For best results in these areas, allow the unit to adjust to the
existing environment before inspecting. Pressing the RESET button will adjust
the unit to an existing environment.
SENSOR TIP REPLACEMENT
The sensor tip performs at full potential for approximately 20 hours. As the tip
wears, it will require replacement. Signs of a warn tip are erratic and irregular
alarm response in clean air environments. Before replacing the tip, make sure
that it is free of grease, moisture, dust and dirt. To remove any of these materials,
use compressed air or alcohol. Make sure the sensor tip is completely dry before
using.
UV/BLUE LIGHT REPLACEMENT
To remove, pull the LED straight out of the socket fixture. To install, press the LED
into the socket fixture with the long terminal to the outside.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
When the unit starts to display an erratic or irregular alarm response, check or
change the sensor tip or the battery (to check the battery, refer to battery test
procedure).
WARRANTY
The product is warranted for a period of one year from the date of purchase to
the original purchaser. A repair or replacement will be made at no charge with
proof of purchase. Damage caused by tampering or improper use will void warranty. This warranty does not cover batteries, sensor tips or other materials that
