Tracer TP-8100 A98253-7 - Manual

A98253-7
TP-8100 UV/Blue ™
12-Volt, ‘‘Instant On’’ Leak Detection Lamp
CAUTION
Always disconnect the lamp from the power source and allow it to cool before storing or disassembling.
Do not operate the lamp without the filter lens attached. Unfiltered UV can be hazardous to the eyes and skin.
WARNING
Intermittent, short inspection intervals will reduce heat buildup and extend bulb life. Use for a maximum of 5 minutes,
after which allow a 15-minute cooling interval. Allow the lamp to cool to the touch before restarting. Do not touch the
glass filter lens during use. Do not secure the momentary ON/OFF switch in the ON position. This will void the lamp’s
warranty.
OPERATION
1. Turn off the engine before performing any leak detection inspections.
2. Add fluorescent dye to the system to be inspected (use OEM-approved Fluoro-Lite
® and Dye-Lite ® dyes for best results).
See dye instructions for full information.
3. Do not look directly into the UV/blue light. You must wear the fluorescence-enhancing glasses supplied with the lamp to
protect your eyes and to make leaks clearly visible.
4. Connect the battery clips to any 12-volt vehicle battery or regulated 12 VDC, 3 amp (minimum) power source — red clip to the
positive (+) terminal and black clip to the negative (-) terminal.
5. Press the rocker switch and pivot the lamp head to the desired position.
6. Scan the system with the lamp. Leaks will show with a bright yellow or green fluorescent glow.
7. Use the lamp in low-light conditions for best performance.

FOR LONGER BULB LIFE AND MAXIMUM LIGHT OUTPUT
• Do not touch the TP-8110 bulb or TP-8211 filter lens with your fingers. Finger oil on the bulb or filter lens will decrease
the light output and cause early bulb failure. Wear cotton gloves or use a soft cloth to avoid touching the bulb or filter
l e n s .
• After extensive use, the filter lens may require cleaning. Gently wipe the inside of the lens with a clean cloth. See
instructions below, “To Replace the Filter Lens.”
