1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing Infrared Refrigerant Leak
Detector. Read through the instruction manual before
operation for correct and safe usage. Please store
and retain this instruction manual for future reference.
2. FEATURES
Infrared Refrigerant Leakage Detector uses a newly
developed infrared gas sensor which is extremely
sensitive to variety of general used refrigerant. It
provides features of fast-response, high-reliability,
and long-durability. It is an ideal tool for maintaining
the air-condition or a cooling system with compressor
and refrigerant.
Microprocessor Control with advanced digital
signal processing.
Multi-color visual display.
Mute function to turn off audible alarm.
Turbo-High-Medium-Low leak sensitivity selector.
Low battery indication.
Infrared gas sensor.
Detection of Freon gases, including R-134a,
R-410A, R-407C, R404A, R22, R32, HFO-1234yf,
etc.
Carrying case included.
15.5” (40 CM) flexible stainless probe.
Ambient concentration reset at default.
Disable
Auto-reset (Ambient concentration reset).

4. OPERATION GUIDE
(1) The Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector unit is not
equipped with anti-explosive designs and
measures. Do not use this unit in the environment
with the burnable gases.
(2) There are some environmental conditions that
might cause error reading:
Pollutant places.
Large temperature variation.
Places with high wind velocity.
Organic solvent, adhesive vapor, fuel gas and
vesicant will cause abnormal response from the
sensor. Try to avoid the environment involved
with this substance.

Places fill with too much to Freon gas.
(3) Please note that a white filter must be installed into
the probe tip. If a white filter is missed and the
operator directly detects the leakage, the Infrared
Chamber system will be damaged. If a white filter
is dirty, please replace a new one.

6. GETTING STARTED
6-1 Installing Batteries
Loose the screw and remove the battery
compartment door located on the bottom of the
instrument as show below (Fig.1).
Install Lithium-ion battery pack.
Reinstall the battery cover by aligning it with the
handle.
When the battery is nearing the end of their useful life,
the red LED low battery indicator will
flash. The battery should be recharged as quickly as
possible.
6-2 Charging
When the battery is being charging, the
red LED low battery indicator will light up. It will be off
after charging is completed.
6-3 Lithium Battery Care
The Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector contains a very
powerful Lithium-ion battery. For a long battery life and
safe operation, you must observe the following:
CAUTION!
(1) Do not short-circuit battery.
(2) Do not reverse connect.
(3) Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery.
