To turn on the Elitech ILD Series Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds. The detector will enter the warm-up countdown and it takes about 30 seconds to reach the optimal detection status. Once the warm-up is complete, the main interface will appear on the large TFT LCD display screen.
To adjust the sensitivity level, press the sensitivity button. There are three sensitivity levels available: Low, Medium, and High. The default level is High.
To detect refrigerant leaks, it is recommended to move the detector during the detection process. The detector is designed to detect the relative concentration of gases, so if the detected concentration remains unchanged in a stationary environment, it may not be able to pinpoint the leaks. It is also important to ensure that the system pressure is at least above 340Kpa (50psi) before detection, as some refrigerant leaks may not be detected at low pressure.
Visually trace the entire refrigerant system for potential leak points such as joints in refrigerant lines, points with changes in cross section or vertical section, and signs of lubricant leak, damage, and corrosion. Move the probe slowly (about 3ft/s or 75mm/s) at suspicious places, keeping it no more than 0.25"/6mm away from the leak area. The buzzer and LCD display will indicate the detected leak simultaneously. The buzzer sound will increase in proportion to the leak intensity, and the bar graph on the display will increase from bottom to top in proportion to the leak intensity.
To turn off the detector, press the power button again.
