2.1 Intended use
The device is a leak detector for sniffer leak detection. With the device you locate and
quantify leaks on test objects. The HLD6000 sniffs for different gases depending on which
sniffer line is connected. The following sniffer lines are available:
SMART sniffer line for R22, R32, R134a, R404A, R407C, R410A, R1234yf, R1234ze and 3
additional gases from the selectable gases that are verifiable by the device,
Sniffer line for R744 (CO2),
Sniffer line for R600a and R290.
A test object always contains gas under overpressure. Check the exterior of the test ob-
jects for escaping gas using a sniffer line (sniffing method).
►You must install, operate and service the device only in compliance with these
operating instructions.
►Adhere to the restrictions of use (see "4.4 Technical data", page 17).
Unauthorized use ►Do not suck up liquids with the device.
►Never hold the sniffer probe into liquids but sniff only for gases.
2.2 Owner requirements

2.4 Dangers
The device was built according to the state of the art and the recognized safety regula-
tions. Nevertheless, improper use may result in risk to life and limb on the part of the user
or third parties, or damage to the device or other property may occur.
Hazards due to liquids
and chemicals
Liquids and chemical substances can damage the device.
►Adhere to the restrictions of use (see "4.4 Technical data", page 17).
►Do not suck up liquids with the device.
►Never try to find toxic, caustic, microbiological, explosive, radioactive or other harmful
substances with the device.
►Only use the device away from areas with a risk of explosions.
►Do not expose the device to a naked flame and avoid spark formation, for example, by
smoking.
Dangers from electric
power
There is a danger to life from the contact of conductive parts inside the device.
►Disconnect the device from the power supply prior to any installation and
maintenance work. Ensure that the electricity supply cannot be switched back on
unintentionally.
Contact of the sniffer tip with live parts may result in danger to life.
►Before starting the leak test, disconnect electrically operated test objects from the
power supply. Ensure that the electricity supply cannot be switched back on
unintentionally.
The device contains electric components that can be damaged from high electric voltage.
►Before connecting the device to the power supply, make sure that the supply voltage
specified on the device is the same as the local power supply.
Dangers from strong
exposure to light
Eye exposure to LED light can lead to permanent eye damage.
►Do not look into the LEDs of the sniffer probe from a short distance or for longer
periods of time.

4 Description
4.1 Function
The HLD6000 is made up of a basic unit and a line with handle. This line is referred to as
the sniffer line.
To locate leaks, move the tip of the sniffer line over places from which gas may be escap-
ing. Depending on the design of the sniffer line, you can detect different gases.
In the handle the sniffer line emits a source infrared light, which hits an infrared sensor. If
a traceable gas enters the sniffer line with the suctioned air, the light intensity reduces.
Based on the change in light intensity, the HLD6000 measures gases and shows the result
optically and acoustically. Measured values are represented on the touchscreen of the ba-
sic unit.
Traces of the measured gases are frequently found in the atmosphere. The HLD6000 mea-
sures the air in the atmosphere and takes the background concentration of the measured
gas and other unwanted gases into account when calculating the measured value.
To be able to find leaks that exceeds a specific gas concentration, set one or two setpoints
on the basic unit. If you work with two setpoints, you can toggle between both values
whilst measuring by pressing a button.

4.3 Sniffer line
You need a sniffer line to operate the device. There are sniffer lines for verification of a sin-
gle gas or sniffer lines for the verification of several gases see "2.1 Intended use", page 9
and see "10.1 Accessories and spare parts", page 69. The sniffer line which is delivered as
standard is 4.8 m long.
The sniffer line is made of a line, a sniffer probe, and a sniffer tip. The filter holder at the end
of the sniffer tip is made of plastic. This reduces the risk of scratching the surfaces to be
sniffed.
Sniffer tip There are rigid and flexible sniffer tips of different lengths, see "10.1 Accessories and spare
parts", page 69.
Sniffer probe During measurement it is possible to switch the setpoint using the button on the sniffer
probe, provided that this function is activated, see "6.4.2 Setting up the sniffer probe",
page 42.
The button on the sniffer probe is also used during calibration, see "6.4.6.2 Calibration
with an internal COOL-Check", page 45.
