SF6 Leakmate Instrument User Manual V1.0 Introduction The SF6 LEAKMATE is a highly sensitive, processor controlled SF leak detector for mobile use, based on the proven detection principle of Negative Corona Discharge. It is small, lightweight, and easy to operate even for untrained personnel. With its audible and visual alarm indications and...
4.2. Recommended Leak Detection Procedures 4.2.1. Principle of detection The SF6 LEAKMATE is built for relative detection, i.e. it will respond to positive changes in SF content of the sample air. Therefore, any background contamination is effectively suppressed. The RESET button is used to trigger zeroing manually should conditions change during detection.
SF6 Leakmate Instrument User Manual V1.0 Maintenance 5.1. Cleaning Maintenance restricts to cleaning the instrument with a damp cloth, use mild detergent if required. Do not use any solvents as they may be aggressive to the case material. 5.2. Sensor tip The sensor tip may get contaminated over time, when a decay in sensitivity becomes apparent soak it in absolute alcohol for a few minutes, then dry it carefully with compressed air.
SF6 Leakmate Instrument User Manual V1.0 Troubleshooting The detector fails to turn on: • Batteries may be too weak to enable normal operation. Change batteries. • Under harsh environmental conditions, the pole connector in the battery compartment door may have become oxidized. Clean off any oxide and try again.
