4. Орнотуу
4.1. Батареяны орнотуу
- Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the detector unit.
- Батарея уясынын капкагын ачыңыз.
- Insert two (2) D alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Батарея уясынын капкагын бекем жабыңыз.
4.2. Initial Power-On and Warm-Up
- Кубат баскычын басып, кармап туруңуз (⏻) on the keypad until the unit powers on.
- The LCD display will show a warm-up sequence. The unit requires approximately 30-60 seconds to warm up and stabilize the sensor. During this time, the display may show "WAIT".
- Once warm-up is complete, the display will indicate "READY" and the unit is ready for operation.
5. Иштөө нускамалары
5.1. Күйгүзүү / Өчүрүү
- Күйгүзүү үчүн: Кубат баскычын басып, кармап туруңуз (⏻) until the unit activates. Allow for the warm-up period.
- Өчүрүү үчүн: Кубат баскычын басып, кармап туруңуз (⏻) until the unit shuts down.
5.2. Сезимталдуулуктун деңгээлин жөндөө
The detector offers three sensitivity levels: High (H), Medium (M), and Low (L). Use the 'HML' button to cycle through these settings.
- Жогорку (H): For detecting very small leaks or when the leak source is unknown.
- Орто (M): General purpose detection.
- Төмөн (L): For large leaks or when pinpointing a known leak source.
5.3. Super Sensitive Function
To activate the Super Sensitive function for enhanced detection of minute leaks (e.g., R1234yf, R407C), ensure the unit is in High sensitivity mode, then refer to the specific instructions in the full manual for activation, as this may involve a combination of button presses or a dedicated mode.
5.4. Interpreting the LCD Display
The LCD provides critical information during operation:
- Leak Intensity Bars: Vertical bars illuminate to indicate the concentration of detected gas. More bars signify a stronger leak.
- Сезгичтик деңгээли: Displays 'H', 'M', or 'L' to show the current sensitivity setting.
- Батареянын абалы: An icon indicates the remaining battery life. Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears.
- Статус билдирүүлөрү: "WAIT" during warm-up, "READY" when operational, "PEAK" when Peak Hold is active, "MUTE" when audio is off.
- Ката коддору: Specific codes (e.g., E8) may appear to indicate sensor issues or other malfunctions. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for details.
5.5. Using the Flexible Probe
The 16-inch flexible probe allows access to hard-to-reach areas. Slowly move the probe tip around suspected leak points, maintaining a consistent distance from the surface. The intelligent sensing tip is designed to minimize false alarms from environmental factors.
5.6. Peak Hold Function
Press the 'PEAK' button to activate the Peak Hold function. This feature locks the highest detected leak signal on the display while allowing the unit to continue scanning for additional leaks. This is useful for identifying the strongest leak point in an area with multiple small leaks.
5.7. Volume/Mute Control
Press the 'VOLUME/MUTE' button to toggle the audible alarm on or off. The display will show "MUTE" when the audio is disabled.
5.8. Using the UV Light and Safety Glasses
For systems charged with UV dye, the included LED UV light (53513) and UV safety glasses (92398) can be used to visually locate leaks. Shine the UV light on suspected areas while wearing the safety glasses to observe a bright green/yellow glow where the dye has escaped.
6. Техникалык тейлөө
6.1. Сенсорду алмаштыруу
The heated metal oxide sensor has an approximate lifespan of 2000 hours. When sensor performance degrades or an error code related to the sensor appears, it should be replaced. Refer to the full manual for detailed sensor replacement instructions.
6.2. Фильтрди алмаштыруу
The probe tip contains a filter that prevents debris from entering the sensor. Replace the filter periodically, or if it appears dirty or clogged, using the included replacement filters. A clogged filter can affect detection accuracy.
6.3. Агрегатты тазалоо
Wipe the exterior of the detector with a clean, damp кездеме. Абразивдүү тазалоочу каражаттарды же эриткичтерди колдонбоңуз. Тазалоодон мурун түзмөктүн электр кубатынан өчүрүлгөнүн текшериңиз.
