approach the test equipment/area. Adjust the Manual Balance control counterclock- wise as necessary to maintain 2-3 ticks per second. As you approach the vehicle or equipment, the gas concentration will increase, causing an alarm condition. Each time an alarm occurs, readjust the Manual Balance control. - Page 5 5. Allow two minutes for the sensor to warm up, after which the flashing probe light and sound indicator will idle at 2-3 clicks per second. 6. Test operation by quickly touching the top of the calibration reference bottle (make sure sticky label is removed). The unit should respond with a rapid flash rate and sound verifying correct opera- tion and optimum sensitivity for detecting...
- Page 6 WARNING: Personal Injury Hazard Do not use the H-10PM in an explosive or com- bustible 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 7: Manual Mode
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. This mode may require frequent read- justment of the Manual Balance control to maintain the required 2-3 ticks per second that indicates proper adjustment and calibra- tion for all three sensitivity switch positions. -

this procedure until the green OK LED briefly glows. If the red HIGH LED glows, the heat is set too high and the Heater Adjustment should be turned slightly counterclockwise. Allow the unit to stabilize and then repeat the test. Continue this procedure until the proper green OK LED indication has been achieved. - Page 9 filter clogging and extend sensor life. DO NOT allow the unit to ingest moisture. Use of the supplied rubber probe tip helps prevent moisture from being drawn into the unit. Check ports for moisture before inserting the probe. 2. After locating and repairing any leaks requiring the use of the LARGE switch setting, switch to the MEDIUM setting and verify the system is free of leaks.
- Page 10 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 mod- erate use (15 to 30 minutes a day), it is recommended that the filter be replaced once a month.

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 reference bottle contains some refrigerant). - Page 12 ** Solution # corresponds to Cause # ** No response to Calibration Problem Reference bottle Heat Adjustment set too low or Cause bottle is empty No air flow (indicator ball in probe doesn’t float) Sensor exposed to excessive amounts of halogen gas Water in probe Readjust heater (see “Heater Solution...
