TIF ACL2500 Refrigerant Leak Detector - Manual (Page 11)

All Systems -
8. Following any service to the refrigerant system and any other service which dis-
turbs the refrigerant system, a leak test of the repair and of the service ports of
the refrigerant system should be done.
The ACL2500 Leak Detector may also be used to:
• Detect leaks in other systems and storage/recovery containers. It will respond to
ALL halogenated (contains Chlorine or Fluorine) refrigerants. This includes, but
is not limited to:
CFCs e.g. R12,R11,R500,R503 etc...
HCFCs e.g. R22,R123,R124,R502 etc...
HFCs e.g. R134a, R404a, R125 etc...
Blends such as AZ-50, HP62, MP39 etc...
• Detect Ethylene Oxide gas leaks in hospital sterilizing equipment (it will detect
the halogenated carrier gas)
• Detect SF-6 in high voltage circuit breakers
• Detect most gases that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Bromine (halogen gases)
• Detect cleaning agents used in dry cleaning applications such as
perchloroethylene
• Detect Halon gases in fire extinguishing systems
Proper maintenance of your Leak Detector is very important. Carefully following the
instructions, outlined below, will reduce performance problems and increase the life
expectancy of the unit.
