Leakage Testing
Chapter 5
Before You Begin Leakage Testing
• A low battery may cause the Seeker HL to NOT turn on. Try charging your battery for 3
hours to see if that fixes the problem.
• The Seeker HL will retain the setup from when the meter was last shut off. For example,
if you were testing with the distance set to the near-field probe setting and then turned
off your Seeker HL, when you turned it back on again the meter would automatically
begin testing that same distance.
Testing For Leaks
The Seeker HL and Seeker HL Source Transmitter should be configured with the Seeker Setup
software before beginning leakage testing.
1. Turn on the Seeker
HL
Press the red
ON/OFF
button until you hear 3 ascending tones. The Seeker HL will
power up in RF Level Measurement Mode.
2. Confirm the Seeker is in the RF Level Measurement mode
The Antenna icon on the display should be flashing for the RF Level Measurement
mode. If necessary, use the
SELECT
button
to move to the Measurement mode (or let it
time out and return to Measurement mode automatically).
If the “Enable Meter Entry” checkbox is checked within the
Seeker Setup software during configuration, the following
levels are adjustable on the leakage detector.
If this checkbox is unchecked, these settings cannot be
adjusted on the meter. Skip to Step 5.
3. Confirm the desired offset levels are selected
These values are used to normalize the leakage readings to typical system levels.
Press the
SELECT
button (middle right) once to view the offset level settings. The first
digit of the high-frequency offset levels will begin to flash. To adjust the value of the
selected digit upward, press the
CHANGE
button (upper right).
Press the
SELECT
button (middle right) again to move the selection to the next digit
and continue this process until you are finished entering the offset values. The offset
value for both the high and low frequencies can be set anywhere from 20 to 60 dB.
