Section 1. Overview 1.1. Introduction The H-10 Pro is the most versatile, high performance leak detector available in the industry today. It detects refrigerants to pinpoint small, medium, and large leaks quickly and efficiently. Review this manual carefully and completely to assure satisfactory product performance and a long service life.

Spec Description 0.006 oz/yr stationary Sensitivity 0.1 oz/yr moving per SAE J2791 Auto adjust to Yes, automatic mode only background Warm-up 2 min (typical) Visual Red LED in probe tip Internal beeper or stereo Audible headphone jack Weight 5.1 lb. (2.3 kg) 10.5 x 8.3 x 5.4 in.
Section 2. Operation 2.1. Overview The H-10 Pro sensor uses positive 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 retaining superior sensitivity for pinpointing the most difficult to find refrigerant leaks.

2.3. Before First Use… Before you use the unit the first time: 1. Remove the sticky-label disc from the cap of the calibration reference bottle. This disc can be reused to help seal the vial when the leak detector is not in use, or it can be discarded.

2.5. Auto Mode vs. Manual Mode Auto mode enables the H-10 Pro to block out background levels of refrigerants. This greatly reduces and/or eliminates false alarms while retaining sensitivity to quickly locate small or medium size leaks.

procedure will reliably and repeatedly pinpoint the leak with each pass over the leak site. If a large leak is present, the auto zero circuit may reduce sensitivity to an unacceptable level to find small and medium sized leaks. If this condition exists, use the manual mode to pinpoint a large leak.

may operate the unit using the supplied wall adapter. ! NOTE: The sensor does not operate when the low battery LED is on. 5. Check for sufficient airflow by pointing the probe tip toward the floor, covering it with your finger, then releasing your finger.

6. Allow two minutes for the sensor to warm up, after which the flashing probe light and sound indicator will idle at approximately 1 click per second. 7. Test operation by quickly touching the probe tip to the top of the calibration reference bottle (make sure sticky label is removed).

unit. Check for moisture before inserting the probe into areas to be checked for leaks. 4. If leaks have not been detected using the large leak setting: Try using the medium small setting appropriate. If leaks have been detected using the large leak setting : After locating and repairing any leaks requiring the use...
Section 3. Calibration and Performance 3.1. Heater Adjustments The sensor heater circuit can be adjusted to control the sensitivity of the unit. A heat setting that is too high causes instability due to excessive sensitivity and shortens sensor life. A heat setting that is too low causes decreased sensitivity.
Page 15
! NOTE: Check for proper heat adjustment on a daily basis. This assures the H-10 Pro is calibrated for the correct sensitivity for your daily test activity. ! NOTE: Frequency of sensor heat adjustment is a function of how much exposure the sensor has to refrigerant.
Section 4. Maintenance 4.1. Replacing the Filter To protect the pump from damage due to foreign particles and moisture, replace the filter as it becomes dirty. With moderate use (15 to 30 minutes a day), it is recommended that the filter be replaced once per month.
Page 17
4. Reattach the probe tip to the probe assembly. 4.3. Replacing the Sensor The sensor needs to be replaced when the H-10 Pro no longer responds to the calibration reference bottle, even with the heater adjustment turned fully clockwise (make sure the reference bottle contains some refrigerant).
Section 5. Troubleshooting 5.1. Diagnosing Issues P=Problem • C/S=Cause/Solution(s) No response to calibration reference bottle. C/S Heat Adjustment is set too low or bottle is empty. Readjust heater (see “Heater Adjustment” section) or replace bottle (3015-0864). No air flow (indicator ball in probe doesn’t float).
Page 19
Erratic response occurs in all leak positions. C/S Filter is clogged. Replace the filter (3015-0784). Dirt is in the sensor. Remove sensor and blow it out with clean air (not over 10 psi). If unsuccessful, replace the sensor (3015-0486). Replace the filter (3015-0784).
