Adjusting Sensitivity Levels
In addition to the automatic calibration, the audio alarm trigger level can be set by the user to 3 different
sensitivity levels (LO, NORM, HI). If the detector is continually alarming away from the suspected area of
the leak, the sensitivity level can be adjusted so the detector will only alarm when the sensor is close to
the source of the leak.
The Leak Detector will default to the NORM sensitivity level automatically once the unit comes out of the
warm up cycle and the green LED will turn on. To change sensitivity levels, press the SENS once for HI
sensitivity (red LED will turn on) and again for LO sensitivity (yellow LED will turn on).
The leak detector comes with a Leak Test Vial that allows the userto make sure the detector is performing
properly. Check the expiration date before to test the leak detector.
NOTE: the expiration date of the test vial is 15 months (label on the vial). After removing the seal over the small
hole in the cap, it reduces to 12 months.
To test:
1. Remove the colored label dot in the center of the screw cap to expose the vent hole in the top of
the screw cap. (see fig. below)
2. Turn on the detector and allow the unit to complete the warm up cycle.
3. Place the sensor close to the small hole in the top of the Leak Test Vial. The beep rate should
increase and the Digital Leak Size Indicator should display a number from 3-6 indicating that the
sensor and electronics are working properly.
NOTE: the leak detector responds to changes in refrigerant concentration. When detection occurs, move the
probe away from the source and back again to confirm the leak source. The detector alarm will reset if the probe
is held fixed at the source (see Automatic Calibration Feature).
NOTE: Replace the Test Vial back in nylon bag when not in use to extend the shelf life. Replace Test Vial when
the green coloris less than % full orat the time ofthe expiration date.
