May be operated for a limited time in lower temperature environments.
Getting Started
1. Install the batteries and sensor as described below.
2. Press the control button to power on the PRO-Alert.
3. Wait for the PRO-Alert to warm up. All three LEDs will illuminate during warm up.
When the High sensitivity LED starts flashing and a chirping sound is heard, the
PRO-Alert is ready to find leaks.
4. Begin checking for leaks.
The PRO-Alert™ Refrigerant Leak Detector provides similar responses to all CFCs,
HCFCs, HFCs, HFOs and refrigerant blends (e.g. R-404A and R-407c) as well as SF6.
There is no need to select the refrigerant you are working with.
How to Install the Alkaline Batteries
1. Remove the battery cover by releasing the latch and sliding the cover down and off
the handle.
2. Install two "D" size alkaline batteries as shown in Figure 1.
3. Reinstall the battery cover by aligning it with the handle and sliding it up until the latch
engages.
When the batteries reach the end of their life, the green Low Battery indicator illuminates
and will start flashing. While the batteries may operate the PRO-Alert™ up to a period of
one hour after the Low Battery indicator illuminates, the batteries should be replaced as
quickly as possible.
