TABLE OF CONTENTS

Thank you for purchasing the MAC TOOLS Refeigerant Leak Detector.
The ACL2500 is the most stable and sensitive negative corona Leak Detector ever
made.

An advanced microprocessor is the heart of this unit. Its Digital Signal Processing
permits better management of the circuitry and sensing tip signal than ever before
possible. Additionally, the number of components used in the circuit is reduced near­ly 40%, increasing reliability and performance. The microprocessor monitors the
sensing tip and battery voltage levels 4000 times per second, compensating for
even the most minor fluctuations in signal. This translates into a stable and depend­able tool in almost any environment.

Convenience features have been added to enhance the usability of the ACL2500.
Seven levels of sensitivity provide an increase of 64 times from level 1 to level 7.
Unique Tri-Color LED’s show a progressive and wide ranging leak size indication,
communicate the sensitivity level, and provide a true voltage indication of battery
power level. Atactile keypad controls all functions of operation. A revolutionary new
case design gives the user grip and control, and places the visual indicators in direct
sight during use.

Please take a few moments to read through the following pages, in order to under­stand and benefit from all the capabilities of your new ACL2500. We trust that you
will be 100% satisfied with your new purchase. If you have any questions or com­ments after reviewing the manual, please feel free to contact us, toll free at
