  • Page 1 H-10G Refrigerant Leak Detector Congratulations! You have just purchased the most versatile, high performance service leak detector available in the indus- try today. It will detect refriger- ants with a sensitivity that will effectively pinpoint both small and large leaks quickly and efficiently.

    50/60 Hz AC outlet of the nominal volt- age as listed on the unit’s rating plate. 3. The H-10G will start to warm up when the power cord is plugged into an AC outlet and the power switch is turned on.
  • Page 5 Warning! Personal Injury Hazard Do not use the H-10G in an explosive or com- bustible atmosphere. The ambient atmosphere is drawn through the probe and through the sensor, which operates at approximately 1000°F (540°C).
  • Page 6 7. Place the probe tip over the hole in the cap of the calibrate reference bottle for 2–3 seconds. This allows enough time for the H-10G to pump down the concentration of gas which normally collects around the bottle’s outlet, and thus arrive at a steady state response (be sure that the bottle contains a quantity of refrigerant).
  • Page 7 The calibrate reference bottle may be used as often as necessary to assure proper operation of determin- ing the size of the leak. A leak that causes an audio pitch about equal to that produced by the calibrate refer- ence has a leak rate of approximately the same size, 0.5 ounce per year of halogen R134a.
  • Page 8 The sensor heat control is a screw- driver adjustment accessible through a hole on the bottom of the case. As the H-10G is used and the sensor ages, its sensitivity will gradually decrease. The overall sensitivity and calibra- tion of the H-10G may be restored by...
  • Page 9 Note: For best sensor life, avoid exces- sive sensitivity and excessive clockwise setting. Maintenance The H-10G is designed for long life with very little maintenance. A kit that contains the necessary expendable replacement parts is supplied with each unit. Instructions for replacing these items are described in the following sec- tions.
  • Page 10 Replacing the Sensor The sensor is a plug-in unit that can be discarded when expended. It needs replacing when the H-10G no longer responds to the calibrate reference bottle, even with the sensor heat control fully clockwise. Make sure that the cali- brate reference bottle contains fluid.
  • Page 11 Troubleshooting Solution number corresponds to Cause number Problem Responds continuously on small leak size positions. Balance control will not stop response. 1 Excessive sensitivity Cause 2 Atmosphere contaminated with excessive halogen Solution 1 Reset sensor heat control more counterclockwise. 2 Ventilate area, switch to larger leak size.
  • Page 12 Troubleshooting (continued) **Solution number corresponds to Cause number** Problem No response to calibrate refer- ence 1 Calibrate reference empty Cause 2 No air flow. Probe ball does not float 3 Sensor exposed to excessive amounts of halogen 4 Water in probe 5 Low line voltage Solution 1 Replace with part#3015-0864 2 Replace filter in probe tip.
