3. Informació de seguretat

Always observe the following safety precautions when handling or installing the replacement sensor:

• Apagar: Ensure the refrigerant leak detector is completely powered off and disconnected from any power source before attempting sensor replacement.
• Manejar amb cura: The sensor is a delicate electronic component. Handle it by its base or housing to avoid damaging the sensing element or electrical contacts.
• Entorn net: Perform sensor replacement in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination of the new sensor.
• Refer to Detector Manual: Always consult the specific instruction manual for your Inficon TEK-Mate or Compass leak detector for additional safety guidelines and detailed sensor replacement procedures.

4. Configuració i instal·lació

Follow these steps to replace the sensor in your Inficon TEK-Mate or Compass refrigerant leak detector:

1. Prepare the Detector: Turn off the leak detector and disconnect it from any power source. Allow the unit to cool down if it has been recently in use.
2. Locate Sensor Compartment: Identify the sensor access compartment on your specific TEK-Mate or Compass model. This is typically a screw-on cap or a removable panel.
3. Treure el sensor antic: Carefully unscrew or unclip the old sensor. Note its orientation for correct installation of the new sensor. Avoid touching the sensing element of the old sensor.
4. Instal·leu un sensor nou: Gently insert the new Inficon 703-020-G1 sensor into the compartment, ensuring it is correctly seated and aligned with the electrical contacts. Do not force the sensor.
5. Secure Sensor: Screw on the cap or reattach the panel, ensuring it is finger-tight or securely fastened according to your detector's manual.
6. Encès i prova: Reconnect power to the leak detector and turn it on. Allow the unit to warm up as per its operating instructions. Perform a functional test to confirm proper operation and sensitivity.

5. Operating Considerations with New Sensor

After installing the new 703-020-G1 sensor, your leak detector should exhibit restored or improved sensitivity to refrigerants. It is recommended to:

• Allow Warm-up: Always allow the detector sufficient warm-up time as specified in its manual to ensure the heated diode sensor reaches its optimal operating temperature.
• Perform Calibration Check: If your detector has a calibration feature, perform a calibration check after sensor replacement to ensure accurate readings.
• Proves periòdiques: Periodically test the detector with a known refrigerant source to confirm its sensitivity and response time.

6. Manteniment

To maximize the lifespan and performance of your Inficon 703-020-G1 replacement sensor:

• Mantenir net: Keep the sensor area free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Avoid direct contact with the sensing element.
• Emmagatzematge adequat: If storing spare sensors, keep them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Horari de substitució: The lifespan of a heated diode sensor depends on usage and exposure to refrigerants. Replace the sensor when you notice a significant decrease in sensitivity or an increase in false alarms, even after cleaning.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues after replacing the sensor, consider the following:

• No Detection or Low Sensitivity:
  • Ensure the sensor is correctly seated and making proper electrical contact.
  • Verify the detector is fully warmed up.
  • Check the detector's battery level.
  • Confirm the new sensor is the correct model (703-020-G1) for your detector.
• Falses alarmes:
  • Ensure the sensor area is clean and free from contaminants.
  • Avoid using the detector in areas with high concentrations of non-refrigerant gases that might trigger false positives (e.g., solvents, cleaning agents).
• Detector Error Codes: Refer to your specific Inficon TEK-Mate or Compass leak detector manual for interpretation of any error codes displayed after sensor replacement.

If problems persist, contact Inficon customer support or an authorized service center.
