Rechargeable Factory Direct Professional Grade Refrigerant And Blend Leak Detector (Johnson Controls)
Overview This is a professional grade leak detector for use by refrigeration and air conditioning technicians. This detector senses all CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants and blends, such as R12, R502, R22, R404a, R507 and R134a, among others. This is self-powered with a rechargeable battery and provides both manual and automatic compensation for background levels of refrigerant. A full line of accessories and maintenance kits are also available, including replacement sensors, tune-up kits, probe extensions, battery chargers, and leak vial bottles. Features and Benefits • Positive Ion Emission Heated Diode Sensor: Provides the most sensitivity available today, while still detecting all halogenated refrigerant gases • Rechargeable Battery Enhances portability--no external power required • High Quality Air Pump Supplies constant air flow to sensor so it responds quickly to leaks; also helps sensor recover quickly after exposure to refrigerant so leak can be verified • Auto Balance Circuit Compensates for background refrigerant levels • Visual and Audible Signal Facilitates sensing in noisy equipment rooms with 360° visibility and piercing tone; Frequency of noise/light indicates magnitude of leak • Exceeds SAE J1627 Moving Probe Specification Minimizes call-backs because the leak is found the first time, is verifiable, and the fix can be confirmed • External Calibration Source Indicates when the sensor is working properly and serves as a reference point to judge leak size Application Overview Growing concern over the effects of certain refrigerants on the atmosphere has generated a strong motive to eliminate system leaks and to develop safer refrigerants. With the RLD-H10P, you can be confident that your instrument will provide the sensitivity and capabilities to meet your service needs today and for the years to come. The RLD-H10P is intended principally as a service technician’s tool. This detector has the capability to detect small amounts of halogenated gases, including chlorine and fluorine based refrigerants and blends. Theory of Operation The leak detector consists of a control unit with an auto balancing circuit, a probe with a 4.5 ft cable, a rechargeable battery, and a battery charger housed in a shock resistant molded polyethylene case. The sensor uses positive ion emission technology, which is based on the ionization characteristics of alkali metals. The alkali metals act as the cathode of a diode, and the anode is heated by a DC voltage. Air from the area being leak checked is pumped from the probe and into the space between the cathode and anode. If halogen gas is present, it creates an ionized current between the cathode and the anode, which is amplified to sound a speaker and light a neon lamp in the probe. Sensitivity can be controlled by adjusting the current (temperature) through the sensor. Calibration and Verification The leak vial may be used as often as necessary to assure proper operation of the RLD-H10P, and to assist in determining the size of the leak. When using the small leak range position, a leak of HFC causing an audible signal equal to that produced by the leak vial has a leak rate of approximately one-half ounce/year. When using the medium leak range position on a CFC or HCFC system, this leak rate would also be approximately one-half ounce/year. Proper response during the calibration test verifies sensitivity and operation for all three test positions. 1. Ensure that the range switch is in the small (“SM”) position. 2. Remove the black, sticky-label disc from the cap of the leak vial and discard. Allow a few minutes for the leak rate to stabilize. Do not attempt to unscrew the cap, as you may damage the bottle. It is filled with enough refrigerant to last approximately six months. 3. Test operation by briefly moving the probe tip over the opening of the leak vial as if you are trying to locate this leak. It is not necessary to hold the probe over the leak, as this does not simulate field conditions. The RLD-H10P should respond with an increase in flash rate and sound, verifying operation and indicating the location of the leak. 4. If the RLD-H10P does not respond to the leak vial, make sure there is liquid in the bottle. If the unit still does not respond to the leak, increase the sensor heat slightly by turning the sensor heat control knob 1/16th of a turn clockwise. 5. Allow a minute for the sensor to heat, then repeat the calibration procedure. Charging the Batteries The RLD-H10P will run continuously for approximately 1.5 hours on a fully charged battery. When the battery light is lit, the unit should be recharged. IMPORTANT: The RLD-H10P contains a gel-cell battery. To prolong the life of this type of battery: recharge the battery frequently (before it is fully discharged); do not recharge the battery for more than eight consecutive hours. Do not allow the battery to freeze.
