Ambient concentration reset When entering a contaminated area, it is important to have a function which allows you to reset the leak detector. Upon initial power on, the TRITECTOR automatically resets itself to ambient concentration, to ignore the level of refrigerant present at the tip.
To disable the function press and hold the peak button again. Battery Management To increase the battery life time, the TRITECTOR has two functions: Auto shut off: After 10 minutes without pressing any button, the device will turn off.
TEST LEAK The TRITECTOR comes with a leak test vial that allows the user to ensure that the detector is performing properly. The Tracer gas sensor does not respond to the test leak vial, but it can be tested with tracer gas (N 95% and H 5%).
MAINTENANCE The leak detector requires maintenance when used regularly: Replace Filter: Unscrew the sensor tip, as shown below. Replace the filter whenever it becomes visibly dirty or every 3 to 4 months, depending on use. Cleaning: Clean the screen and the housing surface with a cloth and cleaning agent.
