2.1 Intended use
The device is a leak detector for sniffer leak detection. Use the device to locate and quan-
tify leaks on test objects. The HLD6000 sniffs for different gases depending on which sniff-
er line is connected. The following sniffer lines are available:
 SMART sniffer line for R22, R32, R134a, R404A, R407C, R410A, R1234yf and 3 additional
gases from the selectable gases that are verifiable by the device.
 Sniffer line for R744 (CO

)
 Sniffer line for R600a and R290.

objects for escaping gas using a sniffer line (sniffing method).
