1.0 Introduction The LeakHunter Plus, Model 8066, is a hand held instrument typically used for detecting leaks in gas plumbing joints, and for testing the integrity of sealed units using a tracer gas. The magnitude of the leak is indicated by a bargraph display and an audible tick. Operation can be one, or two handed.

Section 3 Controls and Indicators Pictures of the display and controls are shown at the rear of this manual. Bargraph and exponent The bargraph and exponent indicate the leak rate in terms of the selected units. For example, a leak rate of +6 x10 -4 ml/sec would appear as shown opposite.
Power button Use this button to turn the instrument on and off. Nozzle present A range extension nozzle is available for monitoring high leak rates. The nozzle diverts 97% of the air input away from the sensor so that a much larger flow can be handled. After attaching the nozzle, press PEAK HOLD and GAS GROUP together so that the Nozzle Present symbol appears on the display.
4.2 Measurement To use the instrument: 1. If necessary, press ZERO and GAS GROUP repeatedly to select the required units. See Section 3.3. 2. Use GAS GROUP to check/select the appropriate gas group. See Sections 3.5 and 3. Press ZERO to zero the meter reading on the instrument, well away from the leak. 4.
The extended probe has a similar effect to the x30 nozzle. Note that the response and cleardown times are increased when the extended probe is fitted. To restore the instrument to its normal state, remove the nozzle and press PEAK HOLD and GAS GROUP to remove the Nozzle Present symbol.
The battery must be removed from the instrument for recharging; it cannot be recharged in the instrument. Section 6 Accessories AC power adapter and battery charger The meter can be used with the ac power adapter without removing the battery. Plug the smaller of the two female connectors on the adapter into the base of the meter.
