LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR INTRODUCTION The LOKATOR VL30 Leak Detector has been designed for leak testing by direct sniffing on potential points of leakage. The LOKATOR VL30 Detector is equipped with a Detection Cell for refrigerant gases, HFO, HFC and HC. (R134a, R1234ze, R32, R290, R410, R600 and CUSTOM) LOKATOR VL30 can be operated intermittently or continuously on a production line.
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE FUNCTIONALITIES The LOKATOR VL30 provide the following functions: GENERAL • Selection in a list of detected gas • Automatic Calibration • Display of estimated leakage value in g/year INTERFACE / DISPLAY •...
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR 3.2.5 SUCTION BLOCKS Aspiration block, with pump and detection light, directly interchangeable by quick plug. The suction unit of the LOKATOR VL30 can receive Refrigerant gas detection cells. > threshold detection light >...
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR INSTALLATION & START-UP ASSEMBLY 4.1.1 ASSEMBLY OF THE SUCTION BLOCK DETECTION CELL • Unscrew the gray plastic ring at the end of the suction unit • Insert the cell on the end of the suction unit. The direction is indifferent, position N°1 or N°2 in the Assemby Diagram.
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR LOKATOR VL30 FIRST START 4.2.1 VERIFICATIONS BEFORE START-UP • Check whether the probe and the connection cable to the cabinet are mechanically intact. The connecting cable must not be wrinkled, crushed, deformed or tear. •...
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR USE OF LOKATOR VL30 PRECAUTIONS OF USE • Avoid unnecessary operation of the Detector during periods when it is not in use. • Avoid detections in environments contaminated with gases, vapors or solvents, which unnecessarily tires the detection cell and limit by masking the efficiency of the detection.
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR YELLOW LIGHT At the beginning of the light ramp. These lights indicate « x.3 x.2 » the presence of leakage less than the set point. • x.3 > detection 3 times lower than the threshold value « S » •...
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR LEAK REASEARCH & DETECTION 5.3.1 LEAK RESEARCH PROCEDURE • The response time for detection is approx. 1 second. The response time depends on the length of the sniffing tube used. • To obtain a quick response and an efficient detection, the sniffing tube must be brought as close as possible to the place being tested.
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR CALIBRATION FUNCTION Access to the CALIBRATION function by selecting on the main DETECTION screen "CAL." [chap. 5.2.2 N°3] During its use, the sensitivity of the detection cell may vary depending on various factors such as the frequency of detection, ambiant contamination and other soiling factors.
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR SELF-CHECKING The detector is equipped with a self-check function that verifies the proper connection of the cell, its power supply, its heating and the cut or the short circuit of the cable. •...
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR 6.2.1 SELECTION OF THE TYPE OF GAS SET TO PROFILE B Selects the type of gas to be detected assigned to PROFILE B. The LOKATOR VL30 will automatically select the right calibration according to the type of gas.
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR ERROR & FAULT MESSAGES THE DETECTOR DOES NOT When the push button is pressed for at least 2 seconds, the green start LED will not light and the detector will not START start.
LOKATOR VL 30 EN MULTI GAS LEAK DETECTOR OPERATING INSTABILITY The detector operates normally, but is unstable. Moving the suction block and the cell causes untimely detections. Check the detector settings: GAS Type and DETECTION Threshold. Check the CALIBRATION of the detector [chap. 5.4.1] >...
