Leak Detection

^ Run the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes to thoroughly distribute the dye throughout the system.

^ Inspect the system by projecting a beam of Ultra-Violet light on to the system components, searching for a bright green glow which will indicate an escape of gas carrying the dye.

^ If the escape of gas is not apparent, i.e. the escape is of a small volume, check the system 24 - 48 hours later, after the Customer has operated the system as much as possible.

^ After all the repairs are completed, thoroughly clean the areas where the dye was visible so that any remaining traces are not mistaken for a new leak.

^ Recheck the area, with the Ultra-Violet light, to ensure no traces of dye are remaining.





^ When operating the TP-1600 110 VAC lamp (Illustration 3), 3 to 5 minutes must be allowed for warm-up.

^ If the lamp is switched off, 10 to 15 minutes cool-down must be allowed before it is switched on again.

^ The heat guard/stand allows the lamp to be left in the position illustrated, while the lamp is switched on, so that the beam is not directed at any person.

^ TP-1600 UV bulb life is 5,000 hours.





^ When operating the TP-8200, (12 VDC, 50 Watts, 5 Amps, Illustration 4), UV lamp, for every 5 minutes of operation there must be a 15 minute, (switched off), cool down interval.

^ Use only TP-1510 bulb as a replacement.
