OPERATION

Maintenance

With a sensor life of more than 500 hours and a battery life of
over 50 hours, very little maintenance is required to keep the
Leak-Seeker I in top operating conditions. Below are the proper
®
procedures to follow when changing batteries and sensors.
Low battery indication:
When the batteries reach approximately 10% of capacity, the
rightmost LED of the tachometer indicator (above the LO BAT
symbol ( ) will energize. The other seven LED's will continue
to function as indicators of the leak's relative size. To replace the
batteries, slide the bottom cover of the instrument backwards to
reveal the battery compartment. Replace the batteries with a new
set of (3) "C" alkaline batteries.
Changing the sensor:
See page 9 for the sensor replacement diagram.
• Remove the sensor housing tip by turning it
counterclockwise.
• With a pair of tweezers or a needle nose pair of pliers gently
pull the sensor away from its socket.
• Inspect the inside of the sensor housing and verify that there
is an O-ring over the socket and that no dirt or debris is
present. If there is dirt or debris, gently pull the O-ring out, use
a dry cotton swab to loosen the dirt and blow with compressed
air. Clean the O-ring and replace.
Do not cover the O-ring with Vaseline or any other
lubricant.
• Install the replacement sensor. Orient the tab on the edge
of the sensor so it coincides with the slot on the side of
the housing and gently push the sensor in.
Do not use silicone based hand cleaners or lotions prior
to installing a new sensor as this will irreversibly affect
the operation of the sensor.
• Remove and discard the filter inside the sensor housing's tip.
Replace with a new filter disk, making sure no dirt, water, oil
or any other substance comes in contact with filter. It is
recommended to first clean the sensor housing's tip with
alcohol or some other solvent which does not contain oil or
silicone. Use a cotton swab to first loosen any debris from the
tip's opening. Finish by blowing with dry, oil-free, compressed
air. Re-attach the tip to the sensor housing, screwing it finger
tight.
Do not use acetone or silicone based solvents, lotions or
un-cured adhesives while handling the sensor.
