1. Response Time feature takes the guesswork out of whether or not to repair a small leak Unlike the more traditional LED bar graphs that copy or mimic the audio alarm signal the SmartAlarm digital leak size indicator measures registers and displays the leak size independently from both the audio alarm and the sensitivity level The ACCUPROBE UV also features a 3 LED UV light system that works with 395 415nm wavelength leak tracing dyes The sleek ergo nomic design of these YELLOW JACKET leak detectors makes them easy to use in close areas and extendable into hard to reach areas e Automatic calibration and reset to ambient e Detects HFC HCFC and CFC refrigerants see page 6 e Long life stable sensor utilizing Heated Electrochemical Sensor HES technology e 3 selectable sensitivity level settings e Sleek ergonomic design e Low battery indicator e Temp Range 24 to 125 F 4 to 52 C e Humidity 0 to 95 RH noncondensing e SAE J2791Certified e CE Marked e True mechanical pump Parts and Controls ri CN UV LEDs J 0 Digital SmartAlarm UV LED Sensitivity adjust select Power ON OFF JUDE Power ON OFF A Audio mute L a I i 7 Heated sensor Tr i H Fisting LED i ee E _ Flexible probe I A C adapter jack AccuProbe UV Tip AccuProbe UV Battery Installation AccuProbe UV Loosen battery door screw located on the bottom of the detector a2. or distributor If the sensor is not working correctly the AccuProbe Leak Detector will not come out of the warm up mode Some competitive units without this function will not alert you that the sensor is malfunctioning or has failed Sensor replacement Remove sensor by pulling out of socket Install the new sensor by aligning the notch in the sensor cover with the raised keyway on the sensor socket holder see Figure 2 If the AccuProbe detector does not come out of warm up first be sure the sensor is plugged in all the way If that does not correct the situa tion replace the sensor Note Do not force sensor into socket Misalignment can damage the sensor pins Push straight on do not twist to install sensor Unscrew tip to replace filter Filter Keyway alignment Pull straight out do not twist to remove sensor Figure 2 Partial list of detectable SNAP listed refrigerants R 12 ALTERNATIVES R 22 ALTERNATIVES R 134a R 401A MP 39 R 401B MP 66 R 401C MP 52 R R 407C R 410A R 410B R 507 406A GHG R 414A GHG X4 R 414B Hot Shot R 416A Frig C FR 12 R 113 R 13B amp R 503 ALTERNATIVES R 409A FX 56 Freeze 12 Free Zone GHG X5 GHG HP R 403B R 508A R 508B IKON 12 R 502 R 500 ALTERNATIVES HC REFRIGERANTS not SNAP approved R 402A amp B R 404A R 407A R 408A R 411A amp B R 507 R 290 R 600A R 170 R 290 R 600A R 290 SNAP Significant New Alternatives Program an

10. p The beep rate should increase to an alarm For the AccuProbe the SmartAlarm should display a number greater than 2 If the SmartAlarm fails to display 2 or above leave the detector on for approximately 15 to 30 seconds longer and retest This indicates that the sensor and electronic circuit are functioning properly 3 Replace plastic cap seal after leak test Note Replace the leak standard when the green color is no longer visible Removable sealing cap d Non removable cap with leak opening Non ozone depleting chemical has green color Leak Standard Bottle Low battery indication Maintenance Replace the batteries when the red low battery Batteries Replace the batteries when the LED comes on see page 3 Follow instruc red low battery LED turns on See BATTERY tions under section titled BATTERY IN INSTALLATION on page 3 STALLATION on page 3 Audio alarm mute AccuProbe UV Sensor filter replacement Unscrew the sensor tip as shown to replace the filter For optimum performance replace filter whenever it becomes visibly dirty with grease or oil or every 2 3 months depending on use To silence the audio alarm press the MUTE button Press a the MUTE button again to K lt restore the audio alarm Sensor failure mode Note Never clean dirty filters with a solvent or soap and water Always replace with a new filter supplied with the leak detector or they can be re ordered from your supplier
11. searching SmartAlarm Display The SmartAlarm LED Display is a digital leak size indicator that numerically displays the leak size on a scale of 1 to 9 for all HFC and HCFC refrigerants regardless of the sensitivity setting This value helps you decide whether or not the leak is large enough to require repair For example when in the HI sensitivity mode the detector may sound a full audio alarm but the Smar tAlarm Display may show a low number indicat ing that the leak is very small In contrast when in the LO sensitivity mode a full audio alarm may not sound but the SmartAlarm may show a high num ber indicating that the leak is large YELLOW JACKET Low battery indicator a Sensitivity UV LED n indicators Power ON OFF B Sensitivity Audio 7 aoust j prema mute Power ON OFF 4 Figure 1 SmartAlarm DISPLAY LEAK SIZE DISPLAY OZ YR lt 0 1 2 82 1 TO 3 4TO6 0 1 to 0 5 2 8 14g 7TO9 gt 0 5 14 1g HFC and HCFC Refrigerants The maximum value displayed once the source of the leak is located indicates the leak size This value helps you decide whether or not a leak is large enough to require repair The table above shows the leak rates corresponding to the SmartAlarm numeri cal display UV LIGHT OPERATION N CAUTION EMITS ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION e This UV LED during operation radiates UV light e Avoid direct eye and skin exposure to UV light e If viewing the UV
