9.3.1 How to Locate Leaks
In Locating Mode, the signal is displayed in the form of a bar. The length of the bar
varies with the gas concentration.
This mode gives an audio and visual signal which increases as a leak is approached
(a higher gas concentration) and decreases as the probe is moved away from the
leak.
NOTICE
The operation in Locating Mode is not quantitative, therefore, there is no
actual calibration to be done, but rather a setting of the sensitivity.
If Locating Mode is used and the alarm function is required to be activated at a
particular calibrated level, the unit must be calibrated according to the instructions
below.
Locating Mode
1. Click the Locating Mode icon on the Operation Screen.
