Usage Tips

Here are some useful hints when using the HLD-100. Refer to the Operator's Manual for complete operating instructions.

- When using the leak detector for the first time, allow the leak detector to warm up for 2 minutes with the probe in a clean atmosphere; this lets the sensor temperature stabilize.

- Calibration check should be done in the "Search 2" mode. Once done, the other check modes don't need calibrating.

- If checking an evaporator through the drain hose, avoid drawing water into the probe. This could shorten the life and function of the internal pump and sensor.

- Avoid creasing the flexible probe extension when you bend it. This could restrict air flow and give false readings.

- Because the detector recalibrates itself for ambient gases, you may have to move away from the leak momentarily to clear the sniffer, then reapproach the leak.

- When removing the clear probe tip, be careful not to lose the flow ball.
