Frequently Asked Questions - TEK-Mate INFICON
How do I turn on the INFICON TEK-Mate leak detector?
Press and hold the power button for about 2 seconds until the LED lights up and the unit beeps. The device will then warm up for about 30 seconds before it's ready to use.
What types of refrigerants can the TEK-Mate detect?
The TEK-Mate detects CFCs (e.g., R-12), HCFCs (e.g., R-22), HFCs (e.g., R-134a, R-410A), HFOs, and common refrigerant blends. It is sensitive to all halogenated gases.
How do I change the batteries in the TEK-Mate?
Slide the battery cover on the back of the unit downwards. Remove the old 4 AA batteries and insert new ones, observing correct polarity. Replace the cover until it clicks.
What does the alarm sound mean?
The beep rate increases as the sensor gets closer to a leak. A continuous fast beep indicates a large leak. The LED bar graph also lights up from green (low) to red (high) to indicate concentration.
How do I clean the sensor tip?
Turn off the unit and remove the sensor tip cover. Use a lint-free cloth lightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the sensor. Allow it to dry completely before use. Replace the cover.
Why does my TEK-Mate keep beeping even when no leak is present?
This could be due to residual refrigerant in the area, a contaminated sensor, or a false trigger from solvents or cleaning agents. Move to a fresh air environment and let the unit stabilize. If it persists, clean or replace the sensor tip filter.
How do I calibrate the TEK-Mate?
The TEK-Mate automatically calibrates to the ambient air during warm-up. For best results, perform warm-up in an area free of refrigerant. No manual calibration is required.
What is the warranty on the INFICON TEK-Mate?
The TEK-Mate comes with a 2-year limited warranty from INFICON covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty details are included in the manual.
Can I replace the sensor tip myself?
Yes, the sensor tip and filter are user-replaceable. Unscrew the old tip, screw on a new one, and replace the filter if needed. Refer to the manual for part numbers.
How do I store the TEK-Mate when not in use?
Remove the batteries to prevent leakage. Store the unit in the carrying case in a cool, dry place between -20°C and 60°C. Keep the sensor tip cover on to protect it from dust.
