monitors the pressure created by the flow from the pump and the restriction
created by the orifice. Should pressure fall, a flow failure is detected, and signal
is sent to the electronics.

Infrared Bench:
Refer to the figure 3 for Infrared Bench diagram. The infrared
bench has an integrated source circuit with infrared source at one end and an
integrated detector circuit with filter and detector at the other. Presence of
refrigerant in the sample air will cause a change in the output of the detector.

Control Electronics:
Refer to the figure 4 for control electronics block diagram.
The signal from the infrared bench is analyzed by the control circuit and
converted into a digital measurement in ppm (parts per million). The ppm level is
compared to trip points set for Low, Main and High alarm levels. If the ppm level
exceeds the Low alarm threshold, the “Leak Wait” algorithm is used to determine
