2. Veiligheidsmaatreëls

Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating the AUTOOL SDT206 Car Smoke Leak Detector to prevent injury or damage to the device or vehicle.

• **Oil Filling**: When using the device for the first time, fill with no more than 20ml of test oil (liquid paraffin or baby oil). Do not exceed this range. Only refill fresh oil when the smoke output becomes thin, and do not exceed 20ml each time. Before refilling, pour out any remaining old oil and replace it regularly.
• **Operation Environment**: During leak detection, keep the device away from smoke-sensitive parts.
• **Continuous Operation**: Do NOT operate the detector continuously for more than 8 minutes. Allow for interval rest to prevent overheating.
• **Overheat Protection**: The device has an intelligent protector that automatically shuts off power if the working limit (e.g., over 75°C) is exceeded. Allow the device to cool down before restarting.
• **Hot Surfaces**: The round part of the detector can reach high temperatures; exercise caution to avoid burns.
• **Pipe Disconnection**: If a test pipe needs to be disconnected mid-test, secure the other side with a rubber stopple to prevent smoke escape or pressure loss.
• **Unauthorized Modifications**: Non-technical personnel should not attempt to modify, disassemble, or repair the product. Any resulting damage or loss is the user's responsibility.
• **Cable Handling**: Avoid scratching, bending, twisting, or stretching wires. Do not expose wires to high temperatures or press hard on the charging adapter.
• **Charging Port**: Prevent small debris (nails, pins) from entering the charging port to avoid damage.
• **Stability**: Do not place the product in unstable place such as high altitude area, slope, or shelf.
• **Children**: This product is electrically powered and not a toy. Keep out of reach of children.
• **Liquids**: To prevent short circuits, do not immerse the product in water or other liquids.
• **Power Supply**: Use only the power supply and power cord provided by the manufacturer.
• **Storage**: Do not expose the product to strong light or high temperatures when not in use.

Technical specifications for the AUTOOL SDT206 Car Smoke Leak Detector:

5. Opstelinstruksies

1. Initial Oil Filling

   Unscrew the oil filler cap on the top of the device. Carefully fill the oil bottle with no more than 20ml of test oil (liquid paraffin or baby oil). Pour the oil into the oil filler. Ensure the oil level gauge indicates 'OK' and do not overfill. Securely replace the cap.

   

2. Kragverbinding

   Connect the provided power cord clamps to a DC12V vehicle battery. Ensure the red clamp is gekoppel aan die positiewe (+) terminaal en die swart aansluitingamp to the negative (-) terminal. The device's power indicator should light up.

   

3. Toebehore aanhegsel

   Depending on the system you are testing, select the appropriate adapter (e.g., standard cone adapter, EVAP special connector, universal airbag adapter) and securely attach it to the vehicle's pipe system. Ensure a tight seal to prevent smoke or air leakage during the test.

6. Bedryfsinstruksies

Follow these steps to perform a leak detection test:

1. Skakel die toestel aan

   Flip the main power switch (red switch) on the side of the device to the 'ON' position. The green power indicator light on the front panel will illuminate.

2. Kies Bedryfsmodus

   The SDT206 offers two modes: Air Mode and Smoke Mode. Use the independent buttons on the front panel to select your desired mode. The corresponding indicator light will turn green.

   

3. Perform Leakage Test (Smoke Mode)

   • Disconnect the pipe that needs to be connected with the detector.
   • Connect the smoke hose from the detector's smoke output to the vehicle's pipe system you wish to test.
   • Activate the 'Smoke Mode'. The device will begin generating smoke.
   • Within 30 seconds, the system will be filled with smoke. Visually inspect the entire pipe system for any escaping smoke, which indicates a leak.
   • Use a flashlight to help locate small or hidden leaks.

4. Perform Leakage Test (Air Mode)

   • Block the smoke exhaust port on the SDT206 and record the initial pressure gauge value.
   • Connect the smoke exhaust port to the pipe system you want to test.
   • Activate the 'Air Mode'.
   • Wait for a while. If the pressure gauge value decreases, it indicates a leak. If the value shows "0", it means the diameter of the leakage point is more than 0.3mm.

5. Pas vloei aan

   Use the flow control valve to adjust the air flow volume as needed for different testing scenarios.

7. Onderhoud

• Test Oil Management

  Regularly check the oil level using the oil level gauge. When the smoke output becomes thin, it's time to refill. Before adding fresh test oil (liquid paraffin or baby oil), ensure you drain any old oil from the oil outlet. Do not exceed 20ml when refilling.

• Skoonmaak en berging

  Keep the device clean and free from dust and debris. After use, turn off the power and disconnect it from the battery. Store the device in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.
