How the H-10PM Works

  The sensor in the H-10PM uses posi-
tive ion emission technology, commonly 
known as a heated diode. It is very 
sensitive to only halon substances 
(refrigerants) making this product highly 
resistive to false alarming, while retain-
ing superior sensitivity for pinpointing the 
most difficult to find refrigerant leaks. 
  A pump inside the unit draws air 
through the sensor. Any presence of 
halogen gases (such as refrigerants) 
causes an ionized current to flow that 
sounds a speaker and illuminates a 
neon light in the probe. Sensitivity to 
pinpoint both large and small leaks can 
be controlled by setting the three posi-
tion Leak Size switch.

Before you use the unit the first time . . .

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

1. Remove the sticky-label disc from 

the cap of the Calibration Reference 
Bottle. This disc can be reused to 
help seal the vial when the leak 
detector is not in use, or it can be dis-
carded. DO NOT attempt to unscrew 
the cap, you may damage the bottle! 
It is filled with enough refrigerant to 
last approximately six months.
