The Leak detector comes with a Leak Test Vial that allows the user to make sure the detector is performing properly. To test: Turn the detector on and allow the unit to warm-up.

1. Remove Seal Cap

2. Place Sensor tip close to open vial.

Refrigerant Leak Detector

3/8” or Less

The beep rate should increase and the Digital Leak Size Indicator should display a number from 4 - 6 indicating that the sensor and electronics are working properly

4. Replace Seal Cap

NOTE: Always remember to replace plastic seal cap after leak test is completed. Replace Test Vial when the blue color is no longer visible.

INTRODUCTION

The RLD15B features a solid electrolyte semiconductor sensor that is designed to detect the more current and difficult HFC refrigerants such as R134a, R1234yf, R410A, R404A, R407C, in addition to all HCFC (R22) and CFC (R12) refrigerants including SNAP approved hydrocarbon blends.

Getting Started

1. TURN ON:

Press Power Button

2. WARM UP: Allow 20 sec. to warm up

(Indicator will blink and alarm will beep)

3. READY: When the flashing “8” stops and the green sensitivity indicator LED turns on

4. The leak detector response to changes in refrigerant concentration. When detection occurs, move the probe away from the source and back again to confirm the leak source. The detector alarm will reset if the probe is held fixed at the source.

FEATURES

Leak Size Indicator

The digital leak size indicator remains off until a leak is detected. A number from 1 - 9 will be displayed for all HFC and HCFC refrigerants, regardless of the sensitivity settings.

The number will increase or decrease depending on the amount of refrigerant sensed. The maximum value will be displayed once the leak source has been located.
