NOTE: Sensor must be installed before using TEK-Mate.
Included in the package:
- TEK-Mate

- Two “D” cell alkaline batteries
- TEK-Mate sensor

Install two “D” cell alkaline batteries (included)
a. Depress the release tab using a coin or screwdriver.
b. Slide the battery cover away from the probe tip to remove.
c. Insert batteries as shown on the illustration inside the battery
compartment.
d. Replace the battery cover. Be sure to slide the battery cover along the
side rails until the release tab is engaged.
Installing sensor (included)
a. Remove rubber sensor cap from TEK-Mate body by gently prying at the edges.
b. Remove TEK-Mate sensor from foil package and remove protective foam.
c. Carefully install sensor into three-pin socket on circuit board.
d. Reinstall rubber sensor cap.
Turning TEK-Mate on and preparing for use
a. Long press the power button to turn TEK-Mate On or Off. The POWER indicator
will illuminate while TEK-Mate is On.
NOTE: If the POWER indicator flashes or if the POWER and HIGH indicators
both flash, the batteries are low and should be replaced.
b. Allow TEK-Mate to warm up from 30 seconds up to two minutes.
NOTE: TEK-Mate will continually alarm during warm-up and all three
indicators will illuminate. When warm-up is complete, TEK-Mate will beep and
the HIGH indicator will flash approximately once per second.
NOTE: In extreme cases, such as when the sensor is exposed to moisture,
warmup can take up to 20 minutes.
Using TEK-Mate to detect leaks
a. Place the tip of TEK-Mate as close as possible to suspected leak (do not
block air flow).
b. Slowly move the probe past each possible leak point. If a leak is detected,
TEK-Mate will alarm and the HIGH or LOW indicator will flash. Faster flashing
and alarm indicate a higher concentration of refrigerant.
c. When a leak is identified, pull the probe away from the leak for a few
seconds and return to the suspected leak site.
NOTE: For large leaks, press the power button to switch to low
sensitivity mode. The LOW indicator will flash when low sensitivity mode is
active.
Replacing filters
a. Remove dirty or clogged filter with a paper clip or similar object.
b. Push the new filter into the probe tip.
