Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector (4) Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C). (5) Do not charge the battery in or nearby heated places, such as fire, hot vehicles, or direct sunlight. (6) Do not expose the battery to direct impact or throw (7) Do not get the battery wet.
Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector 6-4 Automatic Ambient Reset Feature This Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector features an Automatic Ambient Reset function that sets the unit to ignore ambient concentrations of refrigerant. Automatic Ambient Setup - Upon initial power on, the unit automatically sets itself to ignore the level of refrigerant present at the tip.

Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector Auto Button Press for 2 seconds to turn on /off. Auto-Balance Function: To decide the method to screen the background signal off. On (default setting): The tester will use the time averaging of the total signal as its background level and seeking for higher concentration space.

Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector mode which is only for the sensitivity H/M/L level. Press the “Auto” button once to enable manual Reset function. Note: High sensitivity Level: auto-balance off mode, the tester needs heating up time more than 3 minutes after turning on, then turn off the Auto-Balance.
Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector to turn off the audible alarm and solely rely on visual LED indicators. Press MUTE button to toggle this function on and off Note: Keep moving slowly detection, if detected suspicious leaks, slow-moving, please repeatedly confirmed. After the unit is warmed up, the default sensitivity level is set at “High”.

Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector When the instrument detects a leak source, the audible tone will alarm. Additionally, the visual indicators will light from lower to higher; green LED then yellow then (highest concentration) as increasing of level indicate that the location is close to the source.

Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector the detection of leaking locations possible with the refrigerant in the air. Use the following “double pass” procedure to find leaks by detecting the change in refrigerant concentration. (A)Charge the system with sufficient refrigerant. Turn the system on and force compressor to operate.

Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector continue to test the remaining part of the system. (D)Recheck service valves with caps removed. Air clean the service valve to clear the immediate area, and then check with detector with High sensitivity setting. (E)Move the detector at the speed no more than 75 mm/sec (3 in/sec) and as close as possible to 6 mm (1/4 in) from the surface, completely encircling each test position (switch, sensor,...
Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector (G) The leak detector is sensitive and can take up to 30 seconds to clear after detecting a small amount of contaminant. It will typically clear in 2 to 15 seconds. When the source of the leak is detected, the detector will cause a reaction, if the first green LED continues to flash, indicating that the sensor is not restored to the best condition, please wait a few seconds to restore.
