Leak

Detector

Components.

The

reference

leak

assembly

is

a

built-in

bottle

containing

a

refrigerant

gas

(R-11)

and

is

calibrated

to

provide

a

leak

equivalent

to

ap-

proximately

1/2

ounce

of

refrigerant

(R-12)

gas

per

year.

The

accessories

provided

with

the

leak

de-

tector

consist

of

a

maintenance

kit

(filters

and

airflow

balls).

APPLICATION

The Type H-10

leak

detector

was

designed

pri-

marily

for

use

as

a

serviceman's

tool.

Although

it

can

be

used

for

production-line

leak

checking,

it

was

not

designed

for

this

type

of

service.

Normally

the

serviceman

will

use

it

for

leak

checking

automobile

air

conditioning,

home

and/or

for

coumercial

air

conditioning

or

refrigeration

equipment.

THE

Contamination

of

the

se

erratic

operation

of

the

leak

detector.

This

can

occur

when

the

leak

in

the

system

is

very

large

and

there

is

little

or

no

ventilation

in

the

test-

ing

area.

Contamination

of

an

area

may

also

occur

where

excessive

amounts

of

refrigerant

gases

are

used.

The

leak

detector

cannot

differentiate

be-

tween

atmospheric

contamination

and

an

actual

leak,

because

it

will

respond

to

any

halogen

gas

passing

over

the

sensitive

element.

A

contaminated

condition

can

be

greatly

re-

duced

by

ventilating

the

area

or

isolating

the

leak-check

area.

___

_

To

operate

the

Type H-10

leak

detector,

pro-

ceed

as

follows:

1.

Before

using

the

Type H-10

leak

detector

for

the

first

time,

remove

the

screw

from

the

cap

on

the

REFERENCE

LEAK

assembly

(2,

Fig.

1)

and

al-

low 15

minutes

for

the

leak

rate

to

stabilize.

This

screw

is

used

for

shipping

only

and

should

not

be

replaced.

Be

certain

that

the

leak-reference

bot-

tle

contains

a

quantity

of

refrigerant

(R-11).

The

liquid

level

can

be

observed

through

the

window

(1,

Fig.

1)

provided

in

the

chassis.

(This

bottle

4

is

filled

with

enough

refrigerant

to

last

approxi-

mately

i

year.)

2.

Plug

the

power

cord

(3,

Fig.

1)

into

a

120-

volt,

60-cycle

outlet

(gray

case

only);

or

plug

the

power

cord

into

a

240-volt,

50/60-cycle

outlet

(brown

case

only).

IMPORTANT:

--

DO

NOT

ATTEMPT

TO

OPERATE

THE

DETECTOR

AT

VOLTAGES

ABOVE

OR

BEU:ll

THE

VALUES

GIVEN

ON

THE

RATING

PLATE.

THE

LEAK

DETECTOR

COULD

BE

DAMAGED.

3.

The

leak

detector

will

start

to

warm

up

iumediately

after

the

power

cord

is

plugged

into

an

outlet.

4.

Check

for

sufficient

air-flow

by

pointing

the

probe

tip

toward

the

floor

and

observing

the

air

flow

ball

(in

the

probe).

If

the

air-flow

is

cor-

rect,

the

ball

will

rise

and

float

above

the

tip

of

the

probe.

(See

Fig.

2.)

The

height

the

ball

rises

is

not

important

as

long

as

it

rises.

If

the

air-flow

ball

does

not

rise,

tap

the

probe

lightly

to

make

sure

the

ball

isn't

sticking.

If

the

ball

does

not

rise

at

all

due

to

insufficient

air-flow,

the

unit

should

be

forwarded

to

the

nearest

Gener-

al

Electric

apparatus

shop.

5.

Place

the

SENSITIVITY

switch

(9,

F:l

g.

1)

in

either

the

HIGH

or

L~

positions.

The

L~

range

position

is

used

to

detect

large

leaks

and

is

used

when

the

elements

are

new. The

HIGH

range

position

is

used

to

detect

small

leaks.

After

the

leak

detector

has

been

in

use

for

some

time,

the

response

of

the

element

will

decrease

and

it

will

be

necessary

to

place

the

SENSITIVITY

switch

in

the

HIGH

range

position

for

all

leak

checking.

This

can

be

determined

by

placing

the

SENSITIV!TY

switch

on

the

L~

range

'

position

and

turning

the

BALANCE

control

(4,

Fig.

1)

until

the

lamp

(1,

Fig.

2)

just

ceases

to

flash;

then

hold

the

probe

to

the

REFERENCE

LEAK.

Observe

whether

the

light

can

be

made

to

flash.

If

no

flash

occurs

,

or

if

the

flashing

rate

decreases

when

the

probe

i s

continually

held

at

the

REFERENCE

LEAK,

the

SEN

SIT

I-

VITY

switch

nrust

be

placed

at

the

HIGH

range

po

si

-

tion

and

the

unit

rebalanced.

NOTE:

In

a

highly

contaminated

area,

t

he

flas

h

rate

will

not

be

stable

and

it

will

be

almost im-

possible

to

''balance"

the

detector.

Under t

hese

conditions,

leak

checking

would

not

be

pos

sible.

so

that

If

properly,

the

and

continue

when

When

the

is

removed from

the

the

rate

will

slow

down and

stop.

NarE:

On

some

of

the

Type

H-10

leak

detectors,

the

flashing

light

may

not

shut

off

when

the

sensit-

ivity

switch

is

on

the

HIGH

position.

This

is

not

a

defect,

but

indicates

a

very

sensitive

in

which

case

the

leak

detectBr

should

be

operated

in

the

until

the

The

REFERENCE

LEAK

may

be

used

as

often

as

necessary

to

assure

proper

operation

of

the

leak

de-

tector,

or

as

a

comparing

means

to

assist

in

deter-

mining

the

size

of

the

leak,

The

response

when

probing

the

REFERENCE

LEAK

is

approximately

the

same

as

a

leak

of

one-half

ounce

of

refrigerant

(R-12)

per

year.

A

leak

which

causes

a

flashing

rate

equal

to

that

produceq

by

the

REFERENCE

LEAK

would

indicate

a

leak

rate

of

approximately

the

same

size,

8,

Hold

the

probe

as

closely

as

possible

to

the

area

being

tested

and move

the

tip

at

one

inch

per

second

along

seams

or

joints

suspected

of

leak-

ing,

When

the

probe

encounters

a

leak,

the

flash-

ing

rate

of

the

neon

lamp

will

increase

and

will

continue

to

flash

at

the

faster

rate

as

long

as

the

'

probe

is

held

at

the

leak,

MAINTENANCE

The Type

H-10

leak

detector

is

designed

for

long

life

with

little

or

no

maintenance.

A

main-

tenance

kit

which

contains

the

necessary

replace-

ment

parts

is

supplied

with

each

leak

detector.

Instructions

for

replacing

these

expendable

items

are

described

on

the

following

sections.

Filter

Replacement

To

protect

the

.

air

pump

from

damage

from

for-

eign

particles

and

moisture,

replace

the

filter

(3,

Fig.

2)

often.

Once a month

with

moderate

use

(15-30)

minutes

-

per

day)

is

not

too

often.

To

replace

the

filter,

pick

out

the

old

filter

with

a

pin

or

tweezers.

The

fine

screen

will

re-

main

in

the

tip.

Insert

the

new

filter

in

the

tip

and make

sure

it

is

firmly

seated

against

the

fine

screen.

Sensitive

Element

Assembly

Replacement

The

sensitive-element

is

a

plug-in

unit

that

is

to

be

thrown

s:.1ay

when

expended.

The

element

will

need

replacement

when

the

leak

detector

will

no

longer

respond

to

the

REFERENCE

LEAK

with

the

SENSITIVITY

switch

in

the

HIGH

position.

(Make

sure

the

reference-leak

assembly

contains

R-11

re

t

riger-

ant.)

·

To

replace

the

plug-in

element

assembly

pro-

ceed

as

follows:

1.

Unplug

the

power

cord

and

remove

the

screw

(5,

Fig.

1)

holding

the

chassis

to

the

vinyl

case

and

remove

chassis.

The

element

assembly

is

at

the

opposite

end

of

the

chassis

from

the

REFERENCE

LEAK.

2.

Make

sure

the

element

assembly

is

cool

be-

fore

attempting

its

removal.

3.

Insert

a new

element

assembly.

4.

Replace

chassis

in

vinyl

case

and

secure

in

place

with

screw

removed

in

step

1•

.

Reference

Leak

The

refrigerant

gas

(R-11)

contained

in

the

reference

leak

will

last

for

approximately

1

year

under

normal

operating

conditions.

To

refill

the

assembly,

proceed

as

follows:

1.

Remove

the

chassis

from

the

vinyl

case

as

described

in

previous

section.

2.

Hold

the

bottle

firmly

in

place

and remove

cap.

(Note:

Make

sure

discs

remain

in

position

in

·

the

cap.)

3.

Remove

the

bottle

and

fill

with

refriger-

ant

(R-11)

(approximately

7/8ths

full).

NarE:

Refilling

the

reference

leak

bottle

with

(R-11)

refrigerant

will

be

easier

if

done

at

temperatures

below

75F.

4.

Replace

the

bottle

in

chassis.

The

rubber

0-ring

on

the

bottle

holds

the

bottle

assembly

in

place

on

the

mounting

plate.

The

0-ring

~hould

be

pulled

back

on

the

bottle

while

the

cap

is

tight-

ened.
