Operating Instructions
1.0 Introduction
Restek’s portable leak detector is specifically designed for use with gas chromatography (GC) systems. It detects minute leaks of any gas with
a thermal conductivity different from air. The reference gas inlet (Figure 1) draws in ambient air for comparison to air drawn into the sample
probe. The severity of a leak is indicated by both an LED light display and an audible alarm.
If this instrument is used in any manner other than described in the manual, the CE and Ex declaration is void.
Restek’s leak detector is manufactured by Restek, so you are assured of the same Restek® quality and service you have come to recognize with
the Restek® name.
Should you require assistance at anytime regarding our leak detector, please contact Restek® Customer Service at 1-800-356-1688 or
1-814-353-1300, ext. 3.
2.0 Battery Charging
The leak detector should be fully charged prior to use. Only use the AC adaptor provided (cat.# 22653). To charge the battery, first install the correct
plug for your country’s AC outlets onto the provided AC adaptor. Insert the AC adaptor into an electrical outlet, and then insert the barrel plug on
the other end of the AC adaptor into the connector on the bottom of the leak detector unit. The green battery charge indicator LED will illuminate.
When the battery is fully charged, the green battery charge indicator LED will go out. When the leak detector’s charge is low, the BLUE LED located
between the red and yellow LEDs will begin to flash.
If unit is off, the BLUE LED may flash when the power button is depressed. If the battery is fully discharged, no LED will illuminate.
CAUTION:
DO NOT charge the leak detector in a hazardous location.
NOTE:
Replacement of the rechargeable battery in this unit is performed at the factory. There are no serviceable parts in this unit.
Opening the case or tampering with the internal parts will void the factory warranty.
NOTE:
Recharging a fully discharged battery will take 3–5 hours.
NOTE:
If the battery is fully discharged and you need to use the leak detector, charge the battery for 15 minutes, and then disconnect the
unit from the AC adaptor. You will be able to use it for approximately 30 minutes. After use, fully charge the battery.
