INSTRUCTIONS
1. Move the STARTEK-C to a fresh-air environment. Hold the yellow
button 1-2 seconds to turn the unit on.
2. The LED will flash rapidly for a period of time (see
WARM-UP TIME
,
below) to indicate warm-up and auto-calibration, afterwards the unit
will begin beeping and flashing green.
3. Unit turns on in the high sensitivity level, which is preferred for most
small leaks. To operate the unit in the low sensitivity level, press the
button twice (double-click like a computer mouse). The LED will fade
from green to red and a sweeping sound effect of high to low pitch will
be heard. This low sensitivity mode is useful for pinpointing very large
gas leaks.
4. Double click again to change back to high sensitivity.
5. Move the probe towards a suspected gas leak at a rate of less than 1
inches (25 mm) per second, no more than ¼ inch (5 mm) away from
the suspected source.
6. If a leak exists, the sound will increase in rate and pitch and the LED
will start flashing rapidly.
7. Alarms caused by very large leaks may take a long time to clear. If
this is the case, switch to the low sensitivity mode as detailed in (3)
above.
8. To turn the STARTEK-C off, press and hold the button for 3 seconds.
9. To conserve battery life, the STARTEK-C will turn itself off after 8-10
minutes of inactivity.
WARM-UP TIME
The warm-up time for the STARTEK-C will range between 25 seconds and
1.5 minutes. Each sensor has different warm-up characteristics that
change with use over the life of the sensor. The STARTEK-C has built-in
intelligence that recognizes sensor differences and adjusts the warm-up
time automatically for maximum sensitivity and stability.
MISSING/DAMAGED SENSOR ALARM
If the sensor is damaged, a sweeping alarm and a red-green flash will
indicate the problem.
