Using Your INFICON TEK-Mate
W A R N I N G
Do not operate this instrument in the presence of gasoline,
natural gas, propane, or in other combustible atmospheres.
How To Find Leaks
NOTE: A sudden whipping of the leak detector probe or blowing into the sensor
tip will affect the air flow over the sensor and cause the instrument to
alarm.
1. Place the tip of the leak-detector probe as close as possible to the site of the
suspected leak. Try to position the probe within 1/4 inch (5 mm) of the possible
leak source.
2. Slowly (approximately 1 to 2 inches/second (25 to 50 mm/second)) move the
probe past each possible leak point.
NOTE: It is important to move the tip of the probe past the leak. If held on a
leak, the auto zero feature will gradually zero out the leak signal.
3. When the instrument detects a leak, it will beep more rapidly and the LED flash
rate will increase to signal the leak.
4. When the TEK-Mate signals a leak, pull the probe away from the leak for a
moment, then bring it back to pinpoint the location. If the leak is large, set the
sensitivity switch to LOW, by quickly pressing the main control button, to make
it easier to find the exact site of the leak.
5. Return sensitivity to HIGH before searching for additional leaks.
6. When you've finished leak-testing, turn OFF the instrument by pressing the
main control button for one second, until the unit powers down.
How To Change The Filter
The foam filter at the probe tip should be replaced if it becomes plugged with
water or oil or appears dirty. To replace the filter, simply pull out the old filter (with
a paper clip or similar device). Then, push in the new filter.
