Page 8: Automatic Circuit/Reset Feature
automatic circuit/Reset feature The unit features patented Automatic Circuit and Reset functions that set the unit to ignore ambient concentrations of refrigerant . automatic circuit - Upon initial power-on and completion of the warm-up, the unit automatically sets itself to ignore the level of refrigerant present at the tip . Only a level, or concentration, greater than this level will cause an alarm . -
Page 9: Sensor Status Indicator
The standard beeping tone is also an indication of sensitivity level . - In HIGH sensitivity the unit emits two quick beeps approximately once every two (2) seconds, in fresh air . - In LOW sensitivity the unit emits only one beep, approximately once every two (2) seconds, in fresh air . -

Constant Power Indicator (1st LED) Proportional Indicators – 6 LEDs) Figure 5 When a refrigerant is detected, the visual indicator lights from left to right; first in green, then sequentially in orange, and then sequentially in red . Often, on anything but the smallest leak, the extreme sensitivity of the unit may cause the LEDs to all light in orange or red . -

5 . Begin searching for leaks . Move the probe tip toward the suspected leak . The flexible probe may be shaped to provide access to hard-to-reach areas . NOTE: If the unit has previously been in service, verify the probe tip is not obstructed with dirt, grease, etc., and check the condition of the filter as described in the Maintenance section. - Page 12 4 . In windy areas, even a large leak can be difficult to find . Under these conditions, it is best to shield the potential leak area from wind or breezes . 5 . A leak is a constant source of refrigerant, and when a true leak source is located, it should produce a repeatable alarm each time it is approached .
