Chapter 3: Start Up and Operation
Overview
This chapter explains how to operate the Gas Tracer. The Gas Tracer
only operates in Leak Check Mode and cannot be used in any other
mode. Leak Check Mode is used to pinpoint small leaks of
combustible gas from valves, flanges, connections, and other potential
leak points.
Start Up
This section explains how to start up the Gas Tracer and get it ready
for operation.
NOTE: The battery drain is higher in Leak Check Mode. Extended
operation in this mode will result in shorter battery life than
specified in “Specifications” on page 3.
Turning On the Gas Tracer
The following description of the Gas Tracer start up sequence assumes
that the following menu items in Maintenance Mode are set as
follows:
• ID DISP set to ON
• CL RMNDR set to ON
• BP RMNDR set to ON
• C--CHECK set to ALL
• B--CHECK set to ALL
If ID DISP, CL RMNDR, and BP RMNDR are turned off, or if C--
CHECK
and B--CHECK are set to 4GAS then the corresponding
screen will not appear.
1. Connect the tapered rubber nozzle to the inlet fitting.
2. If a sample hose is used, connect the sample hose to the Gas
Tracer’s quick connect inlet fitting.
NOTE: If a probe is used when using the Gas Tracer, use the standard
probe or one of the probes described in “Optional Probes” on
page 13 or listed in the “Parts List” on page 95. Do not use the
bar hole probe.
