  3. Función de reinicio:

    Preme o Restablecer button to zero the reference point. This is useful when moving from a contaminated area to a clean one, or to re-establish a baseline for detection.

  4. Modo de silencio:

    Preme o Silenciar button to silence the audible alarm. The visual LED bar will continue to indicate leak levels.

  5. UV Light Activation:

    Preme o Luz UV button to activate the built-in UV/blue light. This is used in conjunction with UV dye to visually confirm leaks.

Mantemento

  • Sensor Tip Replacement:

    The sensor tip (part #55100-SEN) is a consumable item and should be replaced periodically, especially if detection accuracy diminishes. Refer to the diagram below for location. Carefully unscrew the old sensor and screw in the new one.

  • UV LED Bulb Replacement:

    If the UV light weakens or fails, the UV LED bulb (part #53515-B) can be replaced. Consult the product diagram for its location on the probe tip. Follow instructions for careful removal and installation.

  • Substitución da batería:

    Replace the "C" batteries when the low battery indicator illuminates or when the unit's performance degrades. Always use fresh, high-quality batteries.

  • Limpeza:

    Limpe a unidade cun limpo, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water. Keep the sensor tip clean and free of debris.

  • Almacenamento:

    Store the leak detector in its carrying case in a cool, dry place when not in use. For extended storage, it is recommended to remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
