Getting Started
The D-TEK Select is shipped with the infrared cell and power stick installed. The
nickel/metal hydride batteries in the power stick are not yet charged. To charge
them, connect the cord of the AC power adapter to the power jack at the rear of
the instrument, and plug the adapter into the appropriate mains outlet. The battery
charging light (rear left side) will flash when the detector is charging, changing to
steady illumination when the power stick is charged. Allow 10 hours for the full
charge.
NOTE:
You should expect approximately 6.5 hours of operation from a fully
charged power stick. The D-TEK Select will operate off the AC power
adapter. Connecting the supplied AC power adapter will allow operation
of the detector while the power stick charges.
Using Your INFICON D-TEK Select
WARNING
Do not operate this instrument in the presence of gasoline,
natural gas, propane, or in other combustive atmospheres.
Using the D-TEK Select is simple. Press the power switch once to turn the
detector ON. The green ON LED will illuminate, and the yellow LEDs will
illuminate from left to right in a scrolling fashion while the infrared cell warms up
(approximately 60 seconds). When the detector is warmed up and ready for use,
the yellow LEDs extinguish and you will hear a steady beeping.
The D-TEK Select provides similar responses to all CFC’s, HCFC’s, HFC’s and
refrigerant blends (i.e., R-404A, R407C, R-410A) as well as SF6. There is no
need to select the refrigerant you’re working with.
NOTE:
The D-TEK Select does not detect R-11 due to the particular physical
properties of this refrigerant.
