Product Information

The Automotive Diagnostic Smoke Leak Detector is a product manufactured by OBDSPACE TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. It is designed to help diagnose leaks in automotive systems. The product requires basic knowledge of vehicle structure and engine, as well as a vehicle service book.

Important Notes

  • Ensure there is no wind in the operating area for better test results.
  • Do not use the product on smoke-sensitive components, as it may reduce the sharpness of headlights if applied to the headlight housing.
  • Only use low-density mineral oil-based fluid as smoke oil. Johnson & Johnson’s baby oil (pink label) is compatible. Use a funnel to avoid spreading the oil to other parts of the unit. Check the oil level before use and refill if necessary, but do not overfill beyond the gauge.
  • The product can only be used when the ignition is off.
  • Ensure a 12V fully charged vehicle battery is used, with a voltage not lower than 12V.
  • Use a bright light torch/halogen light to help find leaks.
  • Wear goggles if available.

Specifications

  • Power source: 12V fully charged vehicle battery
  • Current: 6A
  • Flow rate: <6 LPM
  • Pressure output: 0.8~1.0 bar

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Ensure you have read the user manual before using the product.
  2. Make sure there is no wind in the operating area.
  3. Ensure you have basic knowledge of the vehicle structure and engine. Refer to the vehicle service book.

Scope of use

The smoke leak detector, with its WYSIWYG efficiency, is widely applicable to the leak test of various pipeline systems and quick pinpoint leak position. This product can effectively find the leakage position by simulating most suitable operating pressure condition of the vehicle pipeline, and introducing the smoke into the vehicle pipeline system through appropriate adapters. It can be used to test air intake system, exhaust system, inter-cooling system, oil circuit, water lines and other pipeline systems that users can image.

Troubleshooting

Index Error Possible Reason Solution
#1 LED not ON Mistaken possitive to negative Connect to power source

correctly.

2|  | Poor contact of power line| Check with meter if the power line is

broken , confirm and replace the power lines.

3| Pump’s on but no air output| Flow Dial not open| Open the Flow Dial anti-

clockwise.
Pump failure| Replace a new pump

4| No smoke output| No air output| Make reference to #3

Smoke oil out or overfilled| Check oil level; turn unit upside down while the oil filler port is open, and refill to the correct level.
Voltage Low| Check battery voltage if its over 12V.
Heater damaged| Heater damaged if current consumption less than 3Amp, replace the heater.

5| Weak smoke, obvious oil drops from the output| Smoke oil not compatible|

Change proper smoke oil.
Voltage Low| Check battery voltage if its over 12V.

6| Slow oil drops from the output| Normal smoke condensation| Periodically

take off the smoke hose and blow it with air gun.

7| Sudden stop of smoke output| Overheat protection activated| Cool down the

unit before use again.

Warranty

  • The main unit entitle 24month free parts service.
  • The accessories are consumables and no warranty would apply.
