LEAK SIZE INDICATOR
The digital leak size indicator remains off normally but once a leak is detected, a
number from 1-9 will be displayed for all HFC and HCFC refrigerants regardless of
the sensitivity setting.
The number will continue to increase or decrease depending on the amount of
refrigerant sensed. The maximum value will be displayed once the leak source has
been located. The table below can be used to approximate the size of leak:

section.
AUDIO MUTE FUNCTION
To silence or mute the audio beep and alarm signal, press the MUTE button.
To restore the audio sound, press the MUTE button again. (Note: a few seconds
is required to restore sound if the mute button is pressed in rapid succession.)
ADJUSTING SENSITIVITY LEVELS
The leak detector will default to the NORM sensitivity level automatically once the
unit comes out of the warm up cycle and the green LED will turn on.
To change sensitivity levels, press the SENS once for HI sensitivity (red LED will
turn on) and again for LO sensitivity (yellow LED will turn on).
LEAK TEST VIAL
The leak detector comes with a Leak Test Vial that allows the user to make sure
the detector is performing properly. To test:
1. Remove the colored label dot
in the center of the screw cap to expose the
vent hole in the top of the screw cap. (see fig. below).
2. Turn on the leak detector
and allow the instrument to complete the warm
up cycle.
3. Place the sensor close to the small hole
in the top of the Leak Test Vial.
The beep rate should increase and the Digital Leak Size Indicator should display a
number from 3-6 indicating that the sensor and the electronics are working properly.
NOTE:
Replace the Test Vial back in the nylon bag when not in use to extend the
shelf life. Replace Test Vial when the green color is less than ¼ full or at the time of
the expiration date.
