NOTES BEFORE LEAKAGE DETECTION:
1) In order to detect leakage in a refrigeration system, the system must have normal operating pressure, or at least
partially reaches to minimum 50 PSI. Low environmental temperature (lower than 59 or 15°C) may lower the
system required pressure and may make the leakage less likely to be detected. No leak detected does not
mean the system does not have gas leakage. Check the pressure before making the conclusion.
2) Leaking areas are usually covered with contaminants such as compressor oil or dirt, be careful not to make the
sensor tip contact with these contaminants.
3) The function of the detector is to detect refrigerant's relative change at the sensor tip.
Pinpointing the leakage source needs to manually adjust the sensitivity and reset the detector by the
technician.
4) In areas where the atmosphere is contaminated with halogen refrigerant, press reset key to ignore the leakage
in the background.
Make sure not move the sensor tip away from the contaminated background while resetting the detector.
5) In windy area, the leaking halogen refrigerant may be quickly diluted or removed from the leakage source.
The technician may use a wind shield to isolate the leak area or temporarily turn off the fan.
6) To avoid false alarm, prevent the sensor tip against any moisture or other solvent. Besides, the screw of the
sensor should be tightened up.
Proper maintenance is important and may extend the service life and improve the performance of your detector.
Warning: Turn the power off before clearing the shell of sensor.
Keep the sensor tip clean: Use cotton cloth or dry air to clean the shield on the sensor tip if it gets contaminated. If
the sensor tip itself is contaminated, soak the tip in absolute alcohol for a few minutes, and then use compressed
air to blow it dry, or dry it with cloth.
Note: Never use strong solvents such as Gasoline, mineral oil, turpentine, these solvents may coat the sensor with
a thin film and reduce the sensitivity of the detector and make the detector slow to respond to a leak.
Put the detector and the sensor in a dry and clean place; remove the batteries if the detector is not used for a long
time.
