Operation H25-IR

4.2.3 Range Selection

The H25-IR has three sensitivity ranges: SM (small), MED (medium), and LG (large). The range used when searching for a leak depends on the size of the leak and the type of gas being monitored.

Press the RANGE button until the desired range is displayed on either the instrument’s Data Display screen, or on the LCD of the Smart probe.

NOTE: The range setting has no affect on the accuracy of the gas reading as displayed on the instrument when making a leak-rate measurement. It does, however, change the sensitivity of the bar graph at the bottom of the Data Display screen, the audible tone frequency as heard from the speaker, and the blink rate of the red LED on the hand-held probe.

The “SM” range is the highest sensitivity level, and is most likely used for fluorine based gases like R134a and most fluorine based refrigerant blends.

The “MED” range is used for chlorine and chlorine based gases like R12, R22, R123, etc. This position is also useful for locating large R134a or other fluorine based refrigerant leaks of 1−2 Oz/yr.

The “LG” range is used to locate very large leaks.

TIP: Blowing out the test area with shop air may enable the operator to locate a large leak more quickly.

4.2.4 Setup Selection

There are four user-defined Setups that allow the operator to quickly switch between frequently used combinations of Gas Type, Range, Feedback Mode, Setpoint, and the Auto Zero Off condition (refer to Section 2.5 Configuring the SETUPS Function).

When first turned ON, the instrument returns to the last Setup selected. To select a different Setup, first press the SETUP button to display the Setup Selection menu. Next, use the Up and Down buttons to highlight the desired Setup, and then press ENT to make the selection and be returned to the Data Display screen. The name of the newly selected Setup will appear on the Data Display screen.
