INTRODUCTION

FEATURES

The TLD100 Thermal Leak Detector uses an infrared sensor to find leaks along walls, molding, ductwork and more. The auto color change feature provides quick, intuitive feedback, showing you where to caulk, insulate, etc.

Once you have determined the location of these leaks, you can use the bonus booklet “5 Basic Steps to Seal Your Home”. This booklet covers basic weather stripping and insulating tips.

Safety Instructions

•Do not operate the Thermal Leak Detector in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

•Use only with the specifically designated batteries (9V alkaline). Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

•The Thermal Leak Detector measures surface temperature, not interior temperature. Do not use for medical purposes.

•Do not use to determine if meat is cooked enough to eat.

Liquid Crystal Display (First Aid Measures)

•If liquid crystal comes in contact with your skin:

Wash area off completely with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.

•If liquid crystal gets into your eye:

Flush the affected eye with clean water and then seek medical attention.

•If liquid crystal is swallowed:

Flush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Then seek medical attention.

Battery Warnings and Cautions

WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:

•Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.

•Always insert battery correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery and the equipment.

•Do not short battery terminals.

•Do not charge batteries.

•Remove dead battery immediately and dispose of per local codes.

•Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

•Keep batteries out of reach of children.

•Remove battery if the device will not be used for several months.

Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) prohibits transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

Reference Temperature

Shows the temperature of the area where the instrument was initially pointed when you turned on the power. To reset the ref- erence, turn the power off, aim at a new reference spot, and turn the power back on.

The Thermal Leak Detector compares these two temperatures. When the difference exceeds the threshold you've set, the projected LED spot will change to red or blue.

Scan Temperature

Shows the average temperature across the area you're aiming at.
