3.4 Operating Tips

UNDER WINDY CONDITIONS
Locating leaks under windy conditions may severely impede the leak searching process. Even very large
leaks may be impossible to find as the escaping gas is quickly dissipated into the atmosphere. If
necessary, fabricate a gas trap using foils around joints or fittings or otherwise shield the search area
from the wind.
WHEN TO RESET THE UNIT
It is necessary to reset the SF -LeakPointer during a leak search if the unit becomes fully saturated,

multiple leaks are present or during the leak verification process.
LEAK VERIFICATION
If a suspected leak is indicated, verify several times by moving the sensor away from the leak area,
resetting the unit and then back to the suspected leak. If the instrument indicates a leak three
consecutive times, then you have found a leak.
