H-10PA
Congratulations! You have just
purchased the most versatile, high
performance service leak detector
available in the industry today. This
product has all the capability of
the proven H10PM model except
it does not contain the recharge-
able battery and charger. The
H10PA is powered by an external
mobile 12 VDC battery using the
included battery clamp and/or
cigarette lighter power cable. This
provides for ongoing testing with-
out the need for frequent overnight
recharge as is required with the
H10PM.
It will detect refrigerants with a
sensitivity to effectively pinpoint
both small and large leaks quickly
and efficiently. We encourage your
review of this manual to assure
satisfactory performance and a
long service life.

- Page 1 H-10PA Refrigerant Leak Detector Congratulations! You have just purchased the most versatile, high performance service leak detector available in the industry today. This product has all the capability of the proven H10PM model except it does not contain the recharge- able battery and charger.
- Page 2 How the H10PA Works The sensor in the H10PA uses a posi- tive ion emission technology, commonly known as the heated diode. It is very sensitive to only halon substances (refrigerants) making this product highly resistive to false alarming, while retaining superior sensitivity for pinpointing the most difficult to find refrigerant leaks.
- Page 3 Operating Instructions 1. Using the included cables, connect to the 12VDC Battery and plug cable into the unit. 2. Slide switch to its (small) LEAK SIZE position. 3. Slide switch to its position. POWER 4. Check for sufficient airflow by point- ing the probe tip toward the floor and observing the red airflow ball in the probe tip.
- Page 4 Medium (MED) position sensitivity is used for chlorine and chlorine based gases like R12, R22, R123, etc. and will indicate a 0.1 ounce per year or greater leak rate. This position supports finding a 0.5 ounce or greater leak during the moving probe test as defined in SAE J1627.
- Page 5 NOW… YOU’RE READY TO FIND THE LEAK! (You have a choice of two modes) Auto Mode This mode is preferred because the unit effectively auto zeros to block out background levels of refrigerants and changes in background contamination. This greatly reduces and/or eliminates false alarms while retaining sensitivity to quickly locate small or medium size leaks.
- Page 6 held at the leak site. This mode may require frequent re-adjustment of the control to maintain the required BALANCE 2–3 ticks per second that indicates proper adjustment and calibration for all three sensitivity switch positions. In this mode you may notice sensitivity is slightly greater (10–20%) than the 100% auto zero mode.
- Page 7 one minute and retest. If necessary, continue to rotate the HEATER ADJUSTMENT clockwise and retest until the green OK LED briefly comes on. If during this test the red High LED comes on, the heat is set too high and the HEATER ADJUSTMENT should be turned slightly counterclock- wise.
- Page 8 Application Notes 1. Conduct a leak check in a logical pro- gression through the entire system to locate all leaks. If surfaces are particu- larly dirty, or wet, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth to reduce filter clog- ging and extend sensor life.
- Page 9 Caution: Equipment Damage Hazard. Submerging the probe in liquid will damage the vacuum pump. Exposing the probe to a stream of refrigerant coming out of a tank will severely reduce the life or destroy the sensor. The life of this unique rare earth sensor is directly proportional to the amount of refrigerant that passes through it.
- Page 10 Replacing the Sensor: The sensor is a disposble plug-in unit. Replace it when the H10PA no longer responds to the CALIBRATION REFERENCE bottle, even with the sensor HEATER turned fully clockwise ADJUSTMENT (make sure the CALIBRATION REFERENCE bottle contains some refrigerant). 1.

Page 11: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Problem Responds to reference leak setting. LARGE Cause set too HEATER ADJUSTMENT high. Solution Readjust heater (see section Sensor Heater Adjustment). **Solution number corresponds to Cause number** Problem No response to CALIBRATION bottle. REFERENCE Cause set too HEATER ADJUSTMENT low or bottle is empty. - Page 12 (3015-0864). Troubleshooting (continued) Problem Erratic response in all leak positions. Cause Filter is clogged. Dirt in sensor. Short circuit in sensor. Atmosphere contaminated with excessive refrigerant gas. Solution Replace filter (3015-0784). Remove sensor and blow it out with clean air (not over 10 psi).
