OPERATING INSTABILITY
The detector operates normally, but is unstable. Moving the suction block and the cell causes untimely detections.
1
Check the detector settings: GAS Type and DETECTION Threshold.
2
Check the CALIBRATION of the detector [chap. 5.4.1]
> If necessary, make a new calibration with a Calibrated Leak of known value. Otherwise, it is possible to restore the factory
settings of the detector. [Chap. 6.4.3]
3
Check that the "CONTAMINATION" indicator is off.
> If the light is on, the ambient working atmosphere is too polluted. Ventilate the work area and wait for the indicator to go
out.
> If the light does not go out, either the work area is still polluted or the Sensor Cell is used and it is necessary to replace it.
4
Check that you hear the sound of the suction turbine in the suction unit.
He must be gentle and steady.
> In the event that the turbine does not rotate, emits whistles or is irregular in operation, it is necessary to replace the
SUCTION BLOCK.
5
The most common cause of operating instability is an over used detection cell.
> It is necessary to replace the detection cell.
If the problem persists, contact the After Sales Service.

MAINTENANCE - WARRANTY
8.1
REPLACING THE DETECTION CELL
• Replacement of the Detection Cell must be done with the LOKATOR VL30 switched OFF or on a aspiration Block not connected to the
electronic box.
• When replacing the Detector Cell, it is preferable to also replace the Sniffing Pipe whose internal duct is often contaminated.
• Replacement of the Detection Cell must be accompanied by a new calibration of the detector.
8.2
CAP AND FILTERS
• Pipe sniffing is equipped at its end with a Teflon Tip.
It is essential to replace this nozzle as often as necessary to prevent clogging of the suction pipe.
• The fiber filter mounted at the entrance to the Detection of Cell is replaceable by unscrewing the sniffing pipe.
This filter must be changed regularly and as soon as necessary.
8.3
PERIODIC CONTROL
• We recall that a calibrated leak is the only instrument to a valid and reliable control of the performance of a leak detector.
• Using a calibrated leak check regularly that the sensitivity corresponds to the required value and
the sensor response time is normal.
• A too long response time may be due to clogging of the filter or the sniffing pipe, or a malfunction of the suction motor.
• The periodicity of the control must be determined by the user according to the operating conditions of
the detector.
8.4
WARRANTY
• The equipment is warranted for one year parts and labor against manufacturing defects, materials delivered free of charge, packaging
and insurance at the manufacturer.
• This warranty applies primarily to manufacturing defects and does not apply to normal wear and tear of the equipment under normal
use or to the consequences of improper, incompetent or Carelessness.
• The warranty does not cover accidental wear or damage to parts such as Dual-Outlet Cable, Detection Block, Snuff Pipe, or other wear
parts whose service life depends on operating conditions.
• The warranty does not apply to the wear of the detection unit or to the desensitization of the detection cell, whose qualities and
performances are checked before shipment, but whose duration of use depends directly on the operating conditions.
• The warranty can not be claimed by the user for routine maintenance of the equipment for 1 year or for repairs due to misuse.
• The warranty is strictly limited to the repair of the detector. The manufacturer can not be, under Any Circumstances, linkable for live or
indirect consequences of the use of equipment.

DISPOSAL
• Dispose of the packaging as waste paper.
• Dispose of plastic packaging as recycling waste.
• On finally decommissioning the LOKATOR VL30, take it to the next recycling center.
