GENERAL INFORMATION Thank you for purchasing the MAC TOOLS Refeigerant Leak Detector. The advanced micro-processor is at the heart of the ACL1000 and 2000. It permits more advanced management of the circuitry and sensing tip signal than ever before possible. Additionally, the number of components used in the circuit is reduced 50%, increasing reliability and efficiency.

Remove the battery compartment door located on the bottom of the unit, as shown above. Install batteries, Positive Polarity towards the unit (See Figure 1).
OPERATING FEATURES Constant Power Indication The Constant Power indicator allows the user to see the battery level at all times. ACL1000- The Red LED will remain on whenever the unit is powered on. If the LED is dim, or is not lit, this is an indication that the batteries should be replaced. ACL2000 - The first LED (leftmost) in the bargraph will remain on whenever the unit is powered on. If the LED is dim, or is not lit, this is an indication that the batteries should be replaced.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Switch the unit on: ACL1000 - Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. ACL2000 - Press the "I/O" (Red and Green) key. All LED's will light for two seconds as the unit performs a self check. 2. The unit will begin beeping at a steady rate. 3. Verify the battery level by observing the constant power indicator (see above). 4. Begin searching for leaks. When refrigerant is detected, the audible tone will change to a 'siren' type sound, distinctly different from the base beep rate.
OPERATING TIPS 4. Always follow the refrigerant system around in a continuous path so that no areas of potential leaks are missed. If a leak is found, always continue to test the remainder of the system. 5. At each area checked, the probe should be moved around the location, at a rate no more than 25 to 50 mm/second (1-2 in/second), and no more than 5 mm (1/4 in) from the surface, completely around the position.
APPLICATIONS Both of the Leak Detectors covered by this manual may be used to: • Detect refrigerant gas leaks in Air Conditioning or Refrigeration systems and storage/recover containers. These detectors will respond to ALL halogenated (contains Chlorine or Fluorine) refrigerants. This includes, but is not limited to: CFCs e.g. R12,R11,R500,R503 etc... HCFCs e.g. R22,R123,R124,R502 etc... HFCs e.g. R134a, R404a, R125 etc... Blends such as AZ-50, HP62, MP39, R410a etc...
MAINTENANCE To replace the tip: 1. Make sure the unit is OFF. 2. Remove the old tip by unscrewing counter-clockwise. 3. Use the supplied replacement tip, located in the carrying case. Replace by screwing on clockwise. REPLACEMENT PARTS Standard Equipment Your Halogen Leak Detector comes equipped with one Carrying Case, one Owner's Manual, and one replacement Sensing Tip. To purchase replacement parts for you leak detector please contact your local distributor.
