4. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure the headphone volume setting is set to low before operating the unit.
4.1. Operating in Passive Mode.
4.1.1. Inserttheheadphonesplugintothejack(g.1.7)andputontheheadphones.
4.1.2. PressandholddowntheTESTbutton(g.1.6),thePOWERLEDwilllight(g.1.4).Atickingtonewillbeheardthroughthe 
 headphones.Adjustthevolumeoftheheadphonestoasuitablelevel(g.4).Adjustthesensitivitycontroltoeliminateexternalnoise
 (g.2).
4.1.3. Holding down the TEST button, move the detector probe around the joint or seal of the suspected area. If a leak is detected the
 tickingtonefrequencywillincreaseandthe“LEAK”LEDwillalsoilluminate(g.1.5).Theclosertotheleakthehigherthefrequencyof
the ticking tone.
Note: When the PP4 detects a possible leak, move the probe around the suspected leak to determine whether the ultrasonic sound is
from the leak or from other areas. Keep the probe as close as possible to the test area and move the probe slowly.
4.1.4. Repair the leak and recheck with the detector.
4.1.5. Once testing is complete release the TEST button.
Note: There are many factors involved in the ultrasonic leak detection, such as the pressure within the vessel, the size and shape of
the hole, temperature etc. In some cases the ultrasonic sound caused by the leak may be very weak, so the sensitivity will need to be
set at the highest level. If the ultrasonic sound is too intense, the ticking tone frequency will be high, the sensitivity should be adjusted
down to an acceptable level. Noisy environments may also increase the ticking tone frequency, adjust the sensitivity down to an
acceptable level.
4.2. Operating in Active Mode
4.3.  Switchonthetransmitter(seeg.1.1&g.3),the“POWER”LEDwillilluminate(g.1.3).
