6. Instrucións de funcionamento
Follow these steps to operate your Elitech CLD-100 detector:
- Encendido: Turn the Power On/Off & Sensitivity Adjustment Switch to the "ON" position. The detector will emit a continuous beeping sound, indicating it is preheating.
- Prequecemento: Allow approximately 6 seconds for the detector to preheat and stabilize. The beeping sound will become steady.
- Axustar a sensibilidade: Rotate the switch to select the desired sensitivity level (1-6). For maximum sensitivity, it is recommended to turn the device on outdoors, away from any potential refrigerant sources, to allow it to calibrate to the ambient environment.
- Detección de fugas:
- Point the flexible probe towards the area suspected of a leak.
- Move the probe slowly (approximately 1 inch per second) around the suspected leak points, such as AC system high-side and low-side lines, condenser coils, and compressor gaskets.
- If a refrigerant leak is detected, the beeping sound will increase in frequency, and the indicator light will change, signaling the presence of a leak. The closer the probe is to the leak, the faster the beeping will become.
- Función de luz UV: The UV light feature can be activated by sliding the light switch on the probe.
- The light has two settings: a regular flashlight mode for illuminating dark work areas and a UV light mode.
- When a refrigerant leak occurs, it often involves oil mixed with the refrigerant. If a UV dye has been added to the system, the UV light will illuminate any oil spotting, helping to pinpoint the exact leak location.
- Apagado: When finished, turn the Power On/Off & Sensitivity Adjustment Switch to the "OFF" position.
