FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: How does the Prowler sensor compare to heated sensor leak detec- tors? A: Besides having superior sensitivity especially to the newer HFC re- frigerants, the Prowler sensor also operates at a lower temperature than heated sensors. This is an advantage because it draws less current so it does not require the use of rechargeable batteries.

Q: Will the Prowler alarm when entering a work area contaminated with refrigerant? A: Yes. Nevertheless, you must always turn on the Prowler outside of the work area (in clean air) and allow it to complete the warm up cycle before entering an area where a large leak is suspected.

small hole in the top of the Vile. The beep rate should increase and the Leak Size Bar graph should display a minimum of three bars. The detector will calibrate itself to the Leak Test Vial if the sensor is held static close to the small hole in the cap and will not alarm again until it is moved away and allowed to reset.
