An apparent leak shall be verified at least once as follows:
a.
Blow shop air into the area of the suspected leak, if necessary, and repeat the
check of the area. In cases of very large leaks, blowing out the area with shop
air often helps locate the exact position of the leak.
b.
First move the probe to fresh air and reset. Then hold the probe tip as close as
possible to the indicated leak source and slowly move around it until the leak is
confirmed.
Automotive A/C Systems only-
7.
Leak testing of the evaporator core while in the air conditioning module shall be
accomplished by turning the air conditioning blower on high for a period of 15 seconds
minimum, shutting it off, then waiting for the refrigerant to accumulate in the case
for 10 minutes.
After such time, insert the leak detector probe into the blower resistor block or
condensate drain hole, if no water is present, or into the closest opening in the
heating/ventilation/air conditioning case to the evaporator, such as the heater duct or a
vent duct. If the detector alarms, a leak apparently has been found.
All Systems-
8.
Following any service to the refrigerant system and any other service which disturbs
the refrigerant system, a leak test of the repair and of the service ports of the
refrigerant system should be done.
Applications
The ITE-XTRA Leak Detector may also be used to:
Detect leaks in other systems and storage/recovery containers. It will respond to ALL
halogenated (contains Chlorine or Fluorine) refrigerants. This includes, but is not
limited to :
CFCs
e.g. R12,R11,R500, R503 etc…
HCFCs
e.g. R22, R123, R124, R502 etc…
HFCs
e.g. R134a, R404a, R125 etc…
