Summary of Contents for Bacharach H-10PM

  • Page 1 H-10PM Refrigerant Leak Detector Congratulations! You have just purchased the most versatile, high performance service leak detector available in the industry today. It will detect refrigerants with a sensitivity to effectively pinpoint both small and large leaks quickly and efficiently.
  • Page 2 How the H-10PM Works The sensor in the H-10PM uses posi- tive ion emission technology, commonly known as a heated diode. It is very sensitive to only halon substances (refrigerants) making this product highly resistive to false alarming, while retain- ing superior sensitivity for pinpointing the most difficult to find refrigerant leaks.

  • Page 3: Adjusting The Sensitivity

    2. With the Power switch in the OFF position, charge the internal battery using the furnished wall adapter. Charge time is 8–10 hours or, until the red Full Charge LED turns green. Note: Unit will not operate from AC power using the furnished battery charger wall adapter.
  • Page 4 approach the vehicle or equipment, the gas concentration will increase, causing an alarm condition. Each time an alarm occurs, readjust the Manual Balance control. Continue this process until the leak is located. Blowing out the test site with shop air may enable you to locate the leak more quickly.

  • Page 5: Auto Mode

    WARNING: Personal Injury Hazard Do not use the H-10PM in an explosive or combustible atmosphere. The ambient atmosphere is drawn through the probe and through the sensor, which operates at approximately 1472°F (800°C). The resulting hot mixture of air and combustible gas could explode.

  • Page 6: Manual Mode

    The manual mode is also an effec- tive means to determine if a large leak of any refrigerant exists prior to searching for leaks (see “Adjusting the Sensitivity”). Manual Mode In the Manual Mode the auto-zero circuit is disabled. The unit will not zero out the leak if the probe is held over the leak site.
  • Page 7 red LOW LED will go out and the green OK LED will briefly glow. This indicates the sensor’s heat/sensitivity is adjusted for optimum performance. If the red LOW LED remains on when you briefly touch the bottle, the sensor heat is set too low and the Heater Adjustment must be turned slightly clockwise.

  • Page 8: Application Notes

    Application Notes 1. Start leak checking anywhere and continue in a logical progression through the entire system to locate all leaks. If surfaces are particularly dirty, or wet, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth to reduce filter clogging and extend sensor life.

  • Page 9: Maintenance

    Maintenance (replacing the filter and airflow indicator) To protect the air pump from damage due to foreign particles and moisture, replace the filter as it becomes dirty. With moderate use (15 to 30 min- utes a day), it is recommended that the filter be replaced once a month.

  • Page 10: Troubleshooting

    Replacing the Sensor: The sensor is a plug-in unit that can be thrown away when expended. It needs replaced when the H-10PM no longer responds to the Calibration Reference Bottle, even with the Heater Adjustment turned fully clockwise (make sure the ref- erence bottle contains some refrigerant).
