2.2 Càrrega del dispositiu

Before first use, ensure the device is fully charged. Connect the provided charging cable to the USB Type-C port on the device and plug the adapter into a power outlet. The battery indicator on the display will show charging status.

2.3 Attaching the Probe and UV LED

Attach the flexible probe to the top of the main unit. If required for specific applications, connect the UV LED to its designated port on the probe. The extended probe can be used for reaching difficult areas.

3. Instruccions de funcionament

3.1 Engegada/apagada

Manteniu premut el botó ON/OFF button to power the device on or off. The display will illuminate upon startup.

3.2 Sensor Mode Selection

The IR-200 features two sensor modes: Infrared (IR) and Heated Diode. Press the MODE button to switch between these two sensor types. Each mode offers distinct advantages for different detection scenarios.

3.3 Ajust de la sensibilitat

In Infrared mode, press the RESET SENS button to adjust the sensitivity level (High, Medium, Low). Higher sensitivity is ideal for detecting very small leaks, while lower sensitivity helps pinpoint larger leaks without false positives.

3.4 Leak Detection Process

1. Preparació: Ensure the area is well-ventilated and free from strong air currents that might disperse refrigerant.
2. Escaneig inicial: Begin with the Infrared mode at a higher sensitivity setting. Slowly move the probe around suspected leak areas (e.g., joints, fittings, valves).
3. Pinpointing Leaks: Once a general leak area is identified (indicated by an alarm and visual cues on the display), switch to Heated Diode mode for precise numerical concentration readings. Move the probe slowly to find the highest concentration reading, which indicates the exact leak point.
4. Funció de pic: Premeu el botó PIC button to mark or unmark the maximum leak concentration detected. This helps in tracking the highest reading during the detection process.
5. Funció de silenci: Premeu el botó MUT button to silence the audible alarm if needed for a 'quiet' working environment.

3.5 Refrigerant Detection Capabilities

The Elitech IR-200 is designed to detect a comprehensive range of halogenated refrigerants. Refer to the table below for common types:

4. Manteniment

4.1 Substitució del sensor

The infrared and heated diode sensors have a long lifespan, but may require replacement over time or if performance degrades. Refer to the device's internal instructions or contact customer support for sensor replacement procedures. Ensure to use only genuine Elitech replacement parts.

4.2 Substitució del filtre

Regularly check and replace the filter components on the probe to ensure optimal performance and prevent contamination of the sensors. The package includes 5 replacement filters.

4.3 Neteja del dispositiu

Wipe the device exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the display screen clean and free from scratches.
