USE OF LOKATOR VL30
5.1
PRECAUTIONS OF USE
• Avoid unnecessary operation of the Detector during periods when it is not in use.
• Avoid detections in environments contaminated with gases, vapors or solvents, which unnecessarily tires the detection cell and limit by
masking the efficiency of the detection.
• In cold temperatures, wait a few more minutes after the heating period to obtain the full sensitivity of the detector.
• Avoid any contact of the pipe with water, oil, grease or other soiling.
Clean the areas to be tested (Wipe with a cloth to remove soiling and condensation)
• Avoid aspirating condensation, fatty vapors, oils or grease (especially silicone oils), and dust (especially metal).
• Avoid performing a "bubble test" before using the Detector.
Wipe the points to be tested very carefully if a "bubble test" is performed before using the detector.
• Handle the Detection Block carefully, do not hit it, do not knock it down.
• A circular seal protects the block head against shocks.
• At rest, hang the detection block on the support provided with the detector.
• A fiber filter after the semi-rigid pipe protects the sensor cell.
This filter should be replaced regularly and as needed.
Never use the Detection Block without filter.
THE DETECTOR IS NOT EXPLOSION PROOF
NEVER USE IT IN HAZARDOUS AREAS.

DETECTION INTERFACE
5.2.1
DETECTION LIGHT RAMP and SOUND SIGNAL
On detection of a leak, the light ramp will light on according how big is the leak detected.
Associate with the light ramp a 3 tonality loud signal will be heard.
The loud signal volume level can be set with a screwdriver by the adjustment marked
“loudspeaker” :
SELF-CHECKING
The indicator lights up if an error is detected. [chap. 5.5]
YELLOW LIGHT
• DEGASSING - Indicates that the detector is degassing, a countdown
« DEGASSING »
on the LCD shows the remaining time. It is necessary to wait for the light off before
continuing the leak research.
• The red probe light comes on if the set point has been exceeded.
GREEN LIGHT
Indicates that the detector is ready to detect, Level 0 of detection.
